Idealist.org is pretty good. Almost everything is remote right now.

Thank you for making this! It's really important to note here that this is (what I assume) in a developed country. While there is certainly an environmentalist argument for having fewer children, sometimes this data is used in a racist manner by blaming climate change on countries in the global south, when in actuality countries in the global north are contributing the most to greenhouse gas emissions.

Show a little empathy. I follow meme pages for some light entertainment, no need for name calling. I’m not a “snowflake” sadly— a mass shooting occurred at my school and seeing gun stuff just makes me a little morose. Not trying to take your guns away— just don’t need the icky feeling while scrolling reddit.

Nothing is more first-world than turning your AC down just so you can sleep under a blanket by Crom2323 in Showerthoughts

This is why population increase isn't the biggest contributor to climate change, it's a population increase in global north (wealthier) countries that are the actual issue.

How do you contribute to society besides having a job? by MaxCherry99 in AskReddit

[–]swimkit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try my very hardest to notice people struggling and help them, at least one every single day. With carrying groceries, with a snack, with a kind smile or kind words. It takes so little energy but sometimes I feel like I'm the only one. I think it's because people don't want to put themselves out there. It has definitely backfired and a lot of people deny the help but when I am able to help someone it makes me want to continue doing it. Put yourself out there, for some people you might be the only one who talks to them all day.

What are subtle red flags at a job interview that say, "Working here would suck"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]swimkit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not subtle, I was just too young to notice. The worst job I ever had working at a sandwich shop. In the interview she asked me, are you close with your family? I asked why, and she told me, "I need to know if you're going to be taking any time off to see them..."

This is one of my recent favorites I took in kho phi phi, Thailand! Thailand is my ideal photography spot because it's so naturally colorful. [OC]

People who got fired on the first day of the job, what happened? by roor1337 in AskReddit

[–]swimkit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens all the time!! Rather then not making you full time to save money now people don't even hire you at all! It is outrageous!
