Villeneuve has been really disappointing. He was good with smaller, more gritty stuff but isn’t a good epic director.

It is in chrome, but implemented differently. Firefox actually does it better since you can save them as bookmarks

I use sponsor block but YouTubers who do this are still typically channels I don’t like watching. No disrespect to the job but I don’t like feeling like a product.

Much prefer YouTubers who do it as a hobby

Tenant providing bear minimum information and impatient landlord. Engaging post OP.

There are more useful web apps than before but blog/affiliate sites are a plague.

That said if I could make a ton of money by clogging up the internet with garbage content then I would. There is nothing holy about this place.

I don't think it's about being doomed and giving up. For me it's just accepting the fact that a change of course is going to happen at whatever rate it is going to happen because the people who are driving it will do whatever they are compelled to do or want to do. Whether that is fast, or slow, or not at all barely feels like any of my business. I do what I can individually.

I went to a climate protest in Canada last week and it was way to tame to actually get anything accomplished.

The main part of the protest was walking down a main artery. For protesters, there is incentive to walk slowly and spread out to make the walk longer and disrupt status-quo longer, but the organizers clearly only had permission to march for a specific duration so they were in the back hurrying people forward so we'd stay within our allotted time window. Maybe 30 minutes. Once a year. It was pointless.

Add to that that 90% of the people there were exactly the people you'd expect to be there and it just felt like a waste of time.

I think this conversation is more about office workers than site workers. You need to get on site to do the work but office workers don't need to actually go in, they are being told they have to come in and the time needed to adhere to an enforced policy should be included in the work day.

I'm not paid well at my current job but it's also close and I can walk/bike.

I'm looking at jobs that pay me a lot more and it's not worth it since I have to buy, license, and maintain a car then on top of that I'm driving into work, which blows.

(Also no to ownership. All the offices are leased.)

Lol no I wish!

I swear to god we just had all our leases expire and chose to renew ALL OF THEMMMM.

In fact, for the main office we've just signed a new multi-year lease in a new building. It's smaller tho. Renovations currently in progress.

But no raises. Times are too tough.
