It’s a little silly to look at a whole nearly 10 years and not recognize culture has changed significantly, but here’s an example considering the other reply failed to produce one:

Merely 1 year before, the internet was roiled by absolute massive drama that was basically masterminded by proto-incels upset that women were in the video game industry. They were extremely successful in framing a jilted ex’s story as somehow a question of ethics. It was not only impressive how seriously they were taken, but some aspects were just unquestioned as just “how the internet was” like making depictions of these public figures being beaten to a bloody pulp, when nowadays the kids have been having to make euphemisms for implying someone dying in any way to get around censors. It even spilled over into 2015, which is why I can even use it as an example for that year.

In comparison, Gamergate 2 happened a few weeks ago. Its likely not many people here will even realize that even happened, and those that do recognize it was a whimpering yelp at best compared to the OG.

So, while there’s no green, I think it’d be interesting to consider what’s going on in the yellow places. Its likely those areas are close to parity even if male suicide is (marginally?) higher.

Particularly India and China.

Edit: just India, China is on the higher end after looking into the actual numbers. Also, Grenada should show up as green on this map, but the creator chose to not include it. Admittedly, it wasn’t the only lesser Antilles island that was nixed so I’m not going to immediately call bias.

That’s the thing, neither? I get approved a certain amount of hours and it’s always 40 a week.

I’m going to keep an eye out in the market with these replies. I think I’m still ok if it’s just the possibility of reduced hours because I’m not entirely sure if that’s likely the case. I didn’t mention it in OP, but we already had an “approved” amount of hours to work regardless based on contracts. We also have timesheets regardless due to auditing requirements.

But it probably doesn’t hurt to be cautious.

I was possibly thinking this too? The email that announced itself mentions “the timing of this change–DATE–will be aligned to the implementation of EMPLOYER’S new payroll cadence and provider”. Also something about manual transactions being unsustainable under the company size.

I’d assume you meant just the 40 hours right? As far as I can tell I could still get overtime since it’s non-exempt either way.

How do you read the first paragraph and think any of that was ok, left or right?

The spoils system is awful and should remain a relic of the past.

You’d think that, but humans can be weird with what actually causes introspection.

The hospital thing they just took the official line for. They actually mocked Aaron, or were actually grateful he took his own life thinking he was a disturbed individual.

Edit: If you want to understand the logic: they’re willing to turn a blind eye if they can “both sides” incidents so they can simply keep their position of “Israel has a right to defend itself, regardless if they’re not saints about it”.

The humanitarian aid story is getting them because Bibi won’t even let them do that! Hence why I mentioned the story sharing, since they know Bibi had made it clear he wants to starve Palestinians.

I feel like it was that gunning down incident with the humanitarian aid that ultimately tipped the scales.

I know I’ve been going on defense for Israel a lot recently, but I am kinda playing messenger boy as a neutral for being both here and some pro-Israel groups. The Michigan vote didn’t really phase them, that incident did. Seen them even sharing more info about how ridiculously strict Bibi is with aid in general.

Yeah, it helps that’s what my initial prep was: migrating over to discord for niches. It doesn’t hit all the marks you mentioned, but it’s good enough for me (for now, it’s probably gonna have its true enshittening moment too but it’s still usable for me at least).

Making the final move here was for the news aggregation with some community discovery, and so far it feels like it’s adequate here too.

I stayed awhile longer, but prepped for the worse that came yesterday.

Honestly, I think it did impact the content objectively for the worse. Now that I’m fully moved into Lemmy I’m recognizing that a bunch of subreddits basically declined into irrelevance after the blackout (and I’m only remembering them as I try to recreate my subscription list here).

And it kinda affected the vibe of the front page. As of now, I’d describe current reddit as very meta-naval gazing. So many of the posts are basically rival subreddits going “nuh-uh” and “yuh-huh” to each other. There may also be a new algo in use that’s basically encouraging fights between subreddits?

Edit: I should clarify, I think there’s objectively less actual content with now the literal same content being posted multiple times but with different takes on it.
