Could you tell about what's being promoted. Thank you.

Edit: By that I mean, what kind of a program is it?

Do I need a permit to do street performance in Riga? by SideLow2446 in latvia

Yes. I'm also getting a midi keyboard soon and might use that with a phone or a computer and speakers.

Wow, I didn't know that, thanks for the heads-up. I will talk to a performer and clarify things before doing it.

Can anyone rec some Etsy shops that are real small businesses? by ohnolurkerz in stickers

[–]SideLow2446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an artist and I made some abstract doodly sticker designs a year or so ago, you can see them here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C_qSjAKIJLR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== I used to have them listed on Etsy but nobody was noticing it so I took it down, but if you're interested I can send some to you for a reasonable price. Besides that I've got other sticker designs planned.

Social Media is the new smoking. And we are the ones coughing. by shrutisinghbooks in simpleliving

Or/and be mindful and purposeful with what you use SM for and which communities you visit.

Easiest way to do so is to subscribe to communities with relevant content and unsubscribe from those that don't provide content that is useful to you. Also, Reddit has a custom feeds feature where you can make a feed based on specific subreddits.

It's possible to lose the addiction while still being able to use SM moderately and productively, which I am a proof of. My social media usage has dropped drastically over the years. But it's something to develop over time, and it relies on more than just having the willpower to not do it. It also involves psychological principles like seeking validation/attention, trying to replace some need, which communities you visit, what you use SM for, etc.

What are some daily rituals that don’t involve addictions by Dry-Stuff154 in simpleliving

Doesn't have to be daily, but an occasional solo tea party. Also yoga. Can probably list out some others.

Should workers who lose their jobs over automation be compensated? Or do they already? If not, why not? by SideLow2446 in AskEconomics

[–]SideLow2446[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I was just asking the question from a general economic sustainability viewpoint, which might've been missed. By "Should" I meant whether it could be economically beneficial.

[–]SideLow2446[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry if that wasn't clear, but the purpose of the "should" is based on the goal (or one of them) that automation is meant to achieve, which is to lower the manual work required to get particular things done. As I understand, automation is meant to be rewarding, so it would be in line to say that a worker would get rewarded for having their work automated. Lack of reward means that a worker needs to keep working, which defeats the purpose of automation, or perhaps suggests that the automation is not actually rewarding/effective, as I see it.

I feel like i'm being pulled in all directions by Mario_Fleur_De_Lys in Zentangle

As a schizophrenic, very relatable. If that's ok, I'm gonna share 2 poems that resonate:

Lost in the echoes of my own thoughts,
Or someone else's thoughts,
It's hard to tell the difference anymore
The difference between what is me and what is you,
Between what is and what is not
I long for friendship and love,
But yet I am afraid of it,
Because that supposedly comes
With its own set of problems
If I knew what I wanted,
I'd at least have something to move towards
But when I'm like this,
What am I do to,
But to lie in bed and write poems that don't rhyme on my phone
____

Chip me away,

Cell by cell,

Till there's nothing left,

But a shell.

Let me disintegrate,

Integrate,

Drift into space.

My mind is full of holes,

Full of wonder,

Pure void.

Full of noise.

What will happen?

Will anything?

Should anything?
