I like location based games, like Niantic has done, but with much less backstory.

I think you are correct. My first bad boss was a contractor for Comcast. Layers and layers of metrics and KPIs. My best CEO was a “my door is always open, come in and talk” guy.

Bosses have gotten really bad for some reason. A manager used to mentor people and deal with communicating issues upwards. Now it seems to be entirely abusive supervision.

I did 3 on 4 off. The 3rd 12hr shift was rough, but otherwise it was pretty great.

The voting mechanism enabled “the wisdom of crowds.”

But that means I have to read them all. One of the things that drew me to the other platforms was the fact that the smartest or whittiest answers came to the top.

I know there is, or was. A meth head I knew used old cell phones to watch to outside of his house. I saw the app and it worked really well. The phones were all on the same wifi and had no cell service.

Don’t the comments sort in order of popularity?

I think a bigger issue is the acceptance of logical falicies leading to arguments that are nothing more than insult wars.

I can think of several instances but one that comes to the top was a long well reasoned argument for FM on phones. The writer put a great deal of effort into it then ended it with “do you know how stupid you sound [for taking the other position].” I made the mistake of pointing this out and was met with downvotes and told it was a very reddit thing to say.

I would love to see a platform where fallacious arguments were excluded until resubmitted or at least flagged. They do not encourage reasoned discourse.

I think new amateur speculators have driven up prices too. Honestly I don’t fault Mexicans for charging Americans more. It just made me decide I don’t need to be a gentrifier. I can stay in the US.

I priced airbnbs in Oaxaca then hopped on to a VPN exiting in Brazil and got better prices. Then the next time I tried that I didn’t get different pricing.

I don’t know what that means.

We could go back to government guaranteed loans based on financial circumstances. And we could go back to tuition rates that were compatible with working your way through college. That system worked pretty well. It did drop some students through the cracks because their families were too wealthy for them to qualify and they couldn’t or wouldn’t work their way to tuition, but it seems like it did a lot less damage than the current system.

This is a funny place. Weird what people upvote and downvote.

Loans that can’t be discharged are the problem. Tuition went out the roof when universities discovered this gold mine.

You are right. It is like any generalization. I’ll go edit it.

many people making the tips don’t want tipping culture to end. They support it.

"Yes, can I get a discount "

The workers don’t want to see tipping go away. They make bank in tips.

It would be really cool to enforce it via civil action. Find someone’s plate and sue them for rolling coal.
