They spent it all blocking access to the fiber lines that are already there and padding the wallets of their execs.

They make a profit.

I don't struggle with disability like that, but I was job searching recently and found local job counselling to be extremely useful at helping me figure out how to approach new industries and positions when I felt completely lost doing so myself.

They would (hopefully) have good, up to date knowledge on what the local job market is like, and I would figure they'd have some insight into what would be available for someone in your position as well. Would probably be worth seeing if your city or county offers anything of the sort.

You might wanna use spoilers tag

Please elaborate on how that is being "up in arms". That's literally all they said before users like you came in to frame the very act of asking as "unreasonable". Then you started getting upset replies like mine, because that's some backwards bs. If you're so invested in people being happier, maybe don't advocate so heavily for complacency and callousness. The world already has enough of that crap.

but expecting the rest of the world to cater to that is unreasonable

But it’s not really something we can get up in arms over after a certain point.

Yes, I did. You're very committed to painting a basic, mild request as something pointless and unreasonable to ask of others, which is so backwards it's absurd. Thinking for 2 seconds about how what you say can affect those around you isn't some big ask. It shouldn't even have to be asked. It should be bog standard for anyone interacting in society.

Wow, yeah. That really is just unhinged. How dare they have said something like that? 🙄

Just rewatched that movie. Still great.

For one, tons of people learn about "well known" movies for the first time literally every day. The world isn't some static thing were everyone knows everything all the time. Furthermore, what's so hard about just typing "spoiler warning about [x movie]" before talking about critical plot elements? Just a quick heads up to people that are being cautious about it. It's such a minor thing to do just to be thoughtful, and people always freak out about the suggestion as if it's some monumental task.

Pretty much. Even if seemingly every website wasn't diving into anti-user nonsense, things online don't last forever. I think it's worthwhile to make a backup of pretty much anything you feel is worth the effort and space.

I actually just went through my old favorites (that are still accessible) and downloaded them with jdownloader last weekend.

She literally told the story herself on a podcast. How is that "intrusive"?
