Within 30 minutes of a Costco.

I’ve never seen a flipboard post on xitter.

I just tried using all, wow, I didn’t realize the fediverse had declined this much. It’s worse than a 250k member Facebook meme group that’s been abandoned.

I don’t get those but I find equally obnoxious landing page websites that seem to scroll to infinity with no price at the bottom.

As a high school student, I had a job like this for about a week. On my last day, I received this call just like yours and I said “You are quite possibly the stupidest person I’ve ever interacted with” because they were yelling this type of nonsense and screaming over me.

I do not regret my exit to the call center work life. You people have a special type of patience and deserve to be paid far more.

No customer service reps? Company fails.

Where did you park it?

I went back to going to my news instead of having news fed to me.

Their logo is a letter opener?

Ultra low risk is possible with staggered bonds. That kinda money, you can live off the lowest yield of earnings and live like a king.

Yes, it went from “person of influence” to “dumbass pays for attention” rather quickly.

Would the critical mass occur if the original wave didn’t join and produce content?

If that’s true, thrn Reddit’s explosion in popularity had nothing to do with Digg.

That will be when they remove old.reddit

As a mortgage lender that helps clients relocate out of California, you cannot blanket statement the entire state this way.

You can live in the slums, rampant homelessness or live in paradise. You can live in suburban desert hellscape or on an absolutely gorgeous vineyard.

People relocate out of there all the time but some do move back, realizing they hated the area of California but not the entire state.

Lemmy didn’t take off like all my other moves and that’s ok. Can’t stand what Reddit stands for. I won’t ever contribute there but I’m forced to visit to get commentary I need to see on the war and other niche topics.

The robots have filled the content problem but not the commentary problem. And no, I don’t want bot commentary.

Follow me on ten.

What is a tankie? First time I’m seeing it today.

It took a year or so before the discussion of Digg stopped happening on Reddit. It’s already calmed way down from peak API but they keep on making horrible decisions.

Doing my dream job now. I hustled hard in my 20s and 30s with several internet-based businesses that were successful. In my 40s, a bout of depression occurred where I realized I was unfulfilled (money truly isn’t everything). These days, after selling the businesses, I retired for a couple years, blew through my hobbies and interests, became bored out of my mind and set out for a new path.

I’m now in a career that allows me to help people finance the first home (mortgage lender). In the career, I’m meeting a ton of new people each week, clients, referral partners and more. This is what I wanted/needed, to not be a hermit in my home working online, and to start working with others.

The job is challenging but it’s also very fun. At the same time, I wouldn’t recommend it to those that need consistent stable income because interest rates have provided fewer transactions nationwide. In the perfect environment, most struggle to make decent income for a couple years and I’m no exception.

Looking back, it turns out I choose a good path, but in reality, had I just started volunteering in the community, I would have been just as fulfilled.
