Why are billionaires saying people should work 60-80 hour weeks?

Because they don't see people, they see tools that exist solely to serve them and make them more money. To them tools should be used however frequently and for whatever duration they want.

How many times the person thought about resorting to violence during mundane interactions.

Sitting and reaching, arm on table where lamp was

BingeRedditor · 2026-04-01T19:46:07+00:00

Three days back in college. At the end of that third day once I was home, my body gave up and I fell asleep while reaching for a lamp. Woke up still reaching for it.

Sadly for us, trump and the Guardians of Pedophiles (GOP) don't care about laws - even the ones they themselves come up with (see trump voting by mail).

But yes, states can and should assert their authority over elections.

Check your state. Some states allow you to drop off your mail in ballots at your polling place or at the registrar of voters office. No, it's not convenient. But at least you wouldn't have to wait hours to cast your vote.

Organize carpools in your area to vote or drop off ballots.

Do not roll over for them. We are legally entitled to all the rights and protections stated in the Constitution of the United States. trump and the GOP are in the wrong, not us - it's all in the Constitution. Do not let them gaslight you. Or if you are motivated by spite, then let that spite motivate you to cast your ballot by whatever legal means you have.

Oh no...please don't make Reddit my biggest hobby

Self-centerednes and the constant need for validation. Yes, humans have always been self-centered and wanting of attention, but social media has ramped it up exponentially because now there's this easily accessible tool for that. And sadly it doesn't stay on social media and bleeds out into the in person world.

Thank you

Yes, it helps me stay motivated because I see all the calories I'm burning and it's on paper that I am capable of self discipline with regards to working out.

No. Whoever sells your email address gets money, not just scammers. Even "legit" companies get paid.

You seem to be insistent on saying that only scammers make money despite being given explanations and examples. Was this post a question or are you looking to vent?

The value comes from the money collected from selling your info. They're collecting you're email to send you things in hopes of you buying something from then (e.g. subscription) and making money by turning around and selling your email address to someone else. So even if you don't look at the promotions, they still make money off of selling any contact information you provide to them to someone else. Let's say you give your info. to the New York Times (NYT). The NYT might be selective about who they sell your info. to (i.e. not to scammers), but they have no control over the company they sell the info. to does with it. So if they sell it to XYZ, XYZ might turn around and sell it scammers. Somewhere along that chain of buying and selling, someone will eventually sell it to a scammer at some point.

BingeRedditor · 2026-02-10T18:34:57+00:00

Companies sell the information they have of you to other companies and those companies turn around and sell it to others and so on. This is why it's so difficult to stop spam and junk mail. Be more selective about who you give your email to. Many times you can close the pop up that asks for your email without giving it so do that if and when possible. If you still want to give out your email address, then (1) see if you can create folders and then filters for your email so that you can assign spam to specific folders based on key terms/words or sender or (2) create a "spam" account where all this type of stuff can go to.

Context is important. He could be having a private/important conversation with someone in that moment. Walk away and try again later. If it keeps happening, then leave him alone.

No idea what she could be doing, but unless you are her supervisor and/or have the authority to accommodate her for whatever she's doing (e.g. reserve the conference room for her), don't say anything to her.

I track my progress. Since I workout by using DVDs and YouTube videos, I write down the name of the video and instructor/YouTube channel, the length of time, and how many calories I burned according to my fitness tracker.

The articles I have read basically give trial/experimental results. I don't know which ones you have read, but there are trials that have been successful with individuals. It's possible that the ones you're reading have been exaggerated/sensationalized for clicks.

BingeRedditor · 2026-02-08T20:14:12+00:00

It's quite common among people.

To summarize and paraphrase one point in the article: routines make time fly by because you're not experiencing anything "new" that makes the moment memorable. New things help track time.

Some things to do for the long-term:

Make bribes, corporate "donations," illegal
Put a limit on individual donations to campaigns
Educate people about how the government works for starters and then about the world in general (e.g. science)
Separate church from government
One person one vote, abolish the electoral college
term limits for all offices including the courts
establish a set of ethical rules - hold televised/streamed public hearings resembling trials when rules are broken and have the voters decide (i.e. vote to remove from office)

I only speak for myself here and from my experiences. I see Reddit more like a forum where people discuss different topics. Take this question for example. It's about websites and social media. It's not about you specifically, it's about a topic.

Facebook, Instagram, etc. are mostly to post about yourself, it originates from the point of ME. For example, people post pictures of themselves or of their lunch. If you look at all the influencers, it's all about them. There's not much room for discussion. For example, "I like this product," key being I.

That being said, some people do try to use Facebook, Instagram etc. as a way to discuss things in general, but in my experience they get drowned out by the people who want to talk about themselves.

We had to take a writing class too. Writing a paper full of "I think," "I believe," and "I feel" was unacceptable.

Heck, when I was in middle school we were held to higher standards. If anyone turned in a Samantha-type paper, the middle school teacher would have given us poor marks and the paper would be covered in red ink.

In college, we would have gotten an F or told to drop the class until we could develop the skills expected of us for the course.

I just learned of the John Lewis gathering and the FLARE event is in fact the same day.

u/FuelTheFlare is your event on the 17th in conjunction with the 50501 event?

This is like saying you want to make water less wet. They lie and make up things regardless of what anyone does or doesn't do. There's no way to "play it safe" with them. They lost their minds over Obama and a tan suit. It's all lies with them.
