I guess reddit was feeding me all those ads out of the kindness of their hearts and took no money for hosting them. "Altruistic", lol.

Bitwarden also imported my LastPass export seamlessly. Setup and transferring took under 20 min.

In the order I try them, usually the first one works for me:

Hold my breath, cold shower, go for a run.

I had to skim quite a few down the search results to find an article that described what it meant by suing for "illegal boycott" in more detail.

https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/elon-musk-x-sues-advertisers-garm-boycott-1236097110/

X’s lawsuit alleged that the advertisers’ “boycott” violated Section 1 the U.S.’s Sherman Act antitrust law, which broadly prohibits agreements among distinct actors that unreasonably restrain trade, “by withholding purchases of digital advertising from Twitter.”

“The conduct of Defendants and their co-conspirators alleged herein is per se illegal, or, in the alternative, illegal under the Rule of Reason or ‘quick look’ analytical framework,” the X lawsuit said. “There are no procompetitive effects of the group boycott, which was not reasonably related to, or reasonably necessary for, any procompetitive objectives of the GARM Brand Safety Standards.”

The “unlawful conduct” alleged by X is the subject of “an active investigation” by the House of Representatives’ Committee on the Judiciary, the lawsuit said. The committee’s interim report issued on July 10 concluded that, “The extent to which GARM has organized its trade association and coordinates actions that rob consumers of choices is likely illegal under the antitrust laws and threatens fundamental American freedoms. The information uncovered to date of WFA and GARM’s collusive conduct to demonetize disfavored content is alarming.”

Boss is great, one of the best I've ever worked for and is fine with me working remote. Boss x 2 could just as soon not exist; he doesn't help me but nor does he get in my way, and surprisingly the one pushing hardest for return to office. Boss x 3, really not a fan, if I didn't have a couple layers of buffer between us, he might be enough to send me looking for a different job. 3 gets on return to office kicks, but he usually loses interest quickly.

And if I didn't need a salary and health insurance, I wouldn't work any job. This one isn't terrible, relative to what else I've done and could do.

I see my boss in person once per quarter. I routinely use her boss's office because I haven't seen him in about a year. And I've never seen his boss despite him having an office and executive parking spot.

I've been asked a half dozen times to come into the office more often but it's been super easy to deflect by praising them for how effective they are while fully remote. Either they buy my BS or they're wise enough to see their hypocrisy and drop the topic.

A couch is for a one-night stand. A sofa is for bringing home to meet the parents.
