I work in the public sector (not at the federal level) and it's great, but uhhhh. I'm sure we'll be fine for a while where I am, but I'm not as enthusiastically pushing it as I was. But goddamn is it nice not working to make some asshole rich.

Interesting, I've stopped listening to more than one podcast where the premise is "I learned about this thing and I'm telling you about it" when the podcasters got something wrong, got called out on it, and said "I'm not an expert, you shouldn't be talking me seriously." I've come to accept that podcasts are for entertainment only, and even if you think they seem well-researched, assume nothing you hear is true.

I think it's really important to consume social media/whatever this and Reddit are conscientiously. Be aware you're in an echo chamber and step outside from to time. Sometimes it's just annoying (I was really into the show Mr Robot, and one of my many Reddit rage-quits was just being sick of seeing any speculation about where the show was going that was anything but the accepted popular opinion being downvoted) and sometimes just misleading (we all thought Trump couldn't win), but there are so many ways it sneaks into your consciousness. For me, the tribalist culture wars became really glaring. We hate everyone who drives a car. We hate anyone who has a grass lawn. You can't advocate for something there without making it about hating everyone else. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I firmly believe a lot of that is by design. I'm sure it will bleed over here eventually if there is a large exodus, but I hope there are counter measures.

I can tell you as a sample of one that everything you just said would scare me off

ALSO with this model, maybe we can get away from the 24-hour news cycle mentality where a post that's more than a day old is dead. Comment on something from 2 weeks ago!
