What's the point of that? Does it improve your experience using the website at all? If anything, I'd prefer the opposite: a sizable number of people that are available for me to follow and post things relevant to my interests.

My remote call-center job. It takes it out of me like no other job has. Every single second is measured and tracked and "optimized". Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to have the job. It pays better than anything else I'd be qualified for (probably) at 18.50 an hour, and I'm immunocompromised, so I need remote work. More than that, I'm genuinely good at it. But I can't help but feel that it's not for me forever, and I don't know how to transition out of it.

(It's iOS and macOS tech support)

No way. Forums should never be run by the people the forum is discussing, for the same reason that newspapers should never be government-owned.

It depends on the mechanisms that govern atomic arrangements, doesn't it? If we have infinite time, and infinite space, and if it was an (essentially) random process, then sure. On a long enough timescale, the probability of that arrangment approaches 1. But I don't think those are the circumstances that we're dealing with.

Night in the Woods. It's hits you in places you never knew were sensitive until you're acutely aware of each and every exposed nerve.

Be active in your community, whether that be online or off. People do notice you, even if you're not sociable.

Some excellent games mentioned so far, so I'm gonna go with "Night in the Woods". It's this crystal-clear reflection on what it's like to grow up now, what it's like to live in America--good and bad. It's gut-wrenching and funny and beautiful.

I'm not paying for YouTube. It's algorithm sucks, it routinely sells your personal data, and virtually none of the money you spend goes to its creators--that YouTube pretends otherwise is repulsive. How did we get in the situation where we're being asked to pay more and more for worse and worse services? I'm not gonna be a part of it.
