2.7 here in Canada.

Again, why do you believe you get to narrow the scope of what news is to everyone else? You are welcome to create your own magazines that talk about exactly what you want and block the ones that aren’t what you want to engage with.

I’m thinking you should probably stop speaking on behalf of everyone. I am not American but I do care that millions of Americans are losing their rights. I care that US businesses got over a trillion in PPP loan forgiveness but that the same can’t be extended to 40 million individuals and their student loans for education they are almost forced to have if they want a shot at making more than minimum wage and even then, it’s not a guarantee.

I’m not a refugee but I care that the Greek government effectively let hundreds die rather than assist them.

I’m not French but I am interested in the riots happening there.

I’m not Russian, Ukrainian, or even European but I want to know what is happening with the occupation of Ukraine, the coup attempt, and what other countries are doing to ensure the Russia doesn’t violate NATO and the repercussions if they do.

Why do you believe you get to narrow the scope of what is news on behalf of everyone else?

I don’t think they’re being ridiculous to say that US politics has an impact outside of the US. To quote a former Canadian Prime Minister:

“Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.”

I didn’t know either of those fun facts! Thanks so much for sharing them!

Why are you posting about the Titan sub in a thread about a Reddit community of transcribers that will be closing?

Here’s the thing - I am not a special case or circumstance. This happens with some regularity and I’m someone who has chosen to share these intimate details with you to convey that an arbitrary date line isn’t helping anyone. At the end of the day, the discussion and decision should be between the pregnant person and their medical provider, and the pregnant person’s partner, if applicable and requested. It’s literally no one else’s business or concern.

And three months it’s enough time to decide

That makes an assumption that the person is aware they are pregnant the entire time.

I didn’t know I was pregnant until I was roughly 11 weeks because I was using birth control. Except this was before the more recent shouting-from-the-rooftops news that antibiotics can render birth control pills ineffective. I’d been on antibiotics for two weeks around Christmas time and here I was in March, at my doctor, trying to figure out why I was sick when he asked me to do a pregnancy test.

I didn’t get 3 months to decide. I had to wait 2 weeks before I could get an appointment for an abortion for a pregnancy I absolutely did not want and had been doing my best to avoid by being on birth control.

I’m not the only woman with this story or a similar one. Many women simply don’t know they’re pregnant until several weeks in, especially when they are using birth control and don’t have an abundance of symptoms.

I was expecting a “shut up, bird” or two in the Reddit comments but baby dick is a classic. Thanks for linking it!

I mean, those IASIP responses are pretty on brand but thanks for letting me know the community exists!

@swnt done and done. Thanks for following up!

That’s a great alternative to the scripts for your own content! Thanks for the suggestion!

If anyone is going to do this, it needs to be done in stages so it can’t be easily reverted back like we’re seeing with the one-shot comment delete scripts. Slowly dismantle the sidebar information and links, fuck up the automod and other bot settings. Tweak the CSS and flairs. If you’re going to go nuclear, make sure they can’t easily get it back.

I can’t believe I forgot I had done that. My apologies for being misleading!

You should receive a notification and find it in your messages. At least that’s been my experience when leaving comments.

Edit: Notifications, not messages

I think we’re actually buying coffee and donuts for Ernest.

I’m only mobile for kbin at the moment so it doesn’t appear I can receive them (and setting my browser to desktop mode doesn’t change anything). But thank you so much for reaching out! I’ll try to get my hands on a non-work computer and check it out.

For what it’s worth, I’m only using kbin on mobile and a lack of app hasn’t been an issue for me. I say this having come from Reddit using Relay for a good 8+ years.

“Hey, here are some nice things you can work on - but we know, that work is simply part of life and needs balance.”

That sounds like a great approach to take!

I initially started the reduction, as I realised, that pro-actively speaking, I think that my current work “deserves” 24h of my week rather than full 40h. It’s just not so important for my life. And I’m happy to be able to proactively make this decision.

That’s a good mindset to practice! I’ll have to keep it in mind. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Edit: I did try to DM you but it keeps kicking me to my subscription page

That’s awesome that you approached them for the adjustment and they accepted! Did your pay scale as well or remain the same if that’s not impolite to ask?

I’m a project manager in software and it’s lovely to know there are good places out there still. Thanks so much for sharing your positive experience!
