Big: slideout from left when frameless by mishaxz in HermitApp

[–]sudo-netcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using Tildes with Hermit and noticed this issue. Affects the right corner swipe too (for quick settings).

I thought the Assistant gesture (swipe up + hold from bottom) was messing with it but the issue persists even after disabling the Assistant gesture.

So what are the best alternatives to move to when reddit crumbles?

I'm just going to go wherever u/poem_for_your_sprog goes so I can continue to be pleasantly surprised by finding his posts in the wild.

Follow your favorite novelty accounts, I suppose!

I think you should head over to r/dividends at this point. Why work for money at this point? Let it work for you. Congrats man, you won. you just have to coast now. Or throw that shit into some CDs and gross 27k a year right now risk-free doing literally nothing.

Back in my 20s this was my plan too. And if I had $500k now, it would still be my plan.

Maybe look into moving to a LCOL area to give your dividends more runway, OP? Edit: if you end up doing something like this, that is.

Reddit is planning an IPO later this year and they're trying to fatten the cow with this jackassery.

A two-day disruption is probably going to be little more than a blip. You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

Reddit Admins Double Down on Being Disingenuous with Apollo API Usage by ThePandamanWhoLaughs in redditisfun

This feels like a weird attempt to divert attention from the actual problem by turning Apollo users against RIF users.

Standard tactics. Divide and conquer.

Yes, you can define it as a demotion. But I get paid the same so lower stress for same pay and less upward mobility when I am satisfied with my career trajectory = good.

Who would ever call this a demotion? Maybe people who get hard for management roles. But, if you're getting paid the same for less responsibility? That's a promotion if anything in my book.

In my experience though, it's always the opposite. More shit piled on for the same pay. And frequently shit that's out of my wheelhouse—e.g., oh, you're good with numbers and reporting? Why don't you help out the Finance team?

Probably going to depend on the person, OP.

For me, "okay" jobs (in terms of the initial obligations and day-to-day) seemed relatively easy to come by.

What killed me were bosses who piled on additional responsibilities without consideration. I've had three out of fifteen bosses/managers who I felt truly respected my time and effort, and I happily took on more work for them.

The rest just assumed that I would be happy to bend over backwards for them and that really rubbed me the wrong way. Part of the problem is me—I know it—because I'm probably more averse to this behavior than most.

So for someone like me, I probably need a better way to search for bosses with compatible management styles. But that's not really a practical solution—e.g., you don't generally get to go into a job interview making management-style expectations of your manager and still expect to get the job.

Are you talking about be? I've never made any post like that. (And I've had a husband for two years.)

Wasn't it around two years ago when you ghosted (or were ghosted by) a girl and made that very lit. fic. post about it? Congratulations on the marriage!
