There’s a podcast called Jobsolete that covers, as the name implies, obsolete jobs! It’s inactive now but they have an ok size catalog that it’s worth going back and listening.

Yeah I’ve literally never gotten an email from AliExpress over an order in my life lol. They don’t even email me confirmations or shipping notices. Which I like cuz then I just get a nice surprise 2-3 weeks later lol.

Additionally, I’m not flipping light switches while controlling a giant machine capable of killing people. Not sure why they compared the two.

Bueno in the US as well.

the size difference helps in Norways favor too I imagine (and probably shape too!)

There are huge swaths of the US not covered. You could be driving between two cities less than an hour apart and hit dead zones.

That was only months before Twitter announced it would be slowly shutting it down in October. It was a last gasp, too little too late unfortunately. The article you posted even mentioned it was a reaction to creators posting “teasers” that lead watchers to other sites, where the creators were establishing, or had already established, a solid base.

When discussions like this happen I think it’s good to actually suggest alternatives!

I don’t listen to audiobooks, but a lot of people I know use libro.fm

Also your local library probably partners with Hoopla and/or Libby which allows you to borrow audiobooks straight to your PC/phone!

Prime is how I watched Women Talking and The Lighthouse. I was even going to crack and finally pay to rent The Lighthouse then I saw it was finally free on Prime. They definitely have some niche films.

They make it basically impossible to know about unless you are told. 😩

I know it doesn’t fix the fact the ruined main feed, but if you click on “Instagram” on the top left then select “Following” from the drop-down that appears, you will get a chronological feed of only the people you follow—no ads no suggested posts. Only reels if they were posted by someone you follow.
