Honestly this reddit post comes off as very racist to me. Not once did I ever think about any of this when I read the books/watched the movies. The bank goblin one is especially terrible.

Jag har själv jobbat som panda och känner flera som varit pandor i flera år och detta stämmer inte alls på de områdena vi jobbat på. Jag var i C-huset och de jag känner jobbade främst i städ, men också på utomhusområdena. Jag har aldrig hört någon av dem klaga över sina arbetsförhållanden, och för min del jobbade jag kanske 5-6 timmar om dagen, arbetsuppgifterna var så pass enkla att ett barn lätt klarar av dem och resten av dygnet var helt fritt att hänga på konventet som en vanlig besökare.

Jag tycker att ni båda kan ha en poäng. För flera år sedan så var det en mindreårig tjej som trillade ihop efter 10 timmars arbete, så det kan mycket väl vara eller ha varit ett problem i något arbetslag.

Att Närcon vänder sig till barn i första taget ('Det spelar ingen roll hur gammal du är') är väldigt, väldigt sus. Särskilt när NC, som tidigare påpekats, har pengar och besökarantal till att anställa faktisk personal, eller iaf hålla rollen som Panda över en viss åldersgräns.

This is unfortunately the kind of attitude that has kept me from wanting to interact with local nerd communities, running into too many people like this. A lot of people running local nerd stuff act like this, unfortunately. And it's really not nice when con staff does it.

3 av 3 personer jag känner som jobbat på närcon sa att det sög för de blev tvingade att jobba minimum 8 timmar per dag. En kille fick jobba dubbla pass, så 12 timmar per dag. Han var tonåring och vågade inte säga emot. Det var typ 2-3 år sedan. Tror just han jobbade i en butik ute när det var jävligt varmt för jag minns att han sa att det var det värsta.
>Helt ärligt låter personen du postade som en bortskämd inkompetent person som inte fattar vad volontärarbete innebär
Det är ju just det närcon vill ha, ungdomar som jobbar för dem utan att fatta vad det innebär så de kan få dem att göra vad som helst utan att ifrågasätta det. De lockar tonåringar att jobba "teehee du får gratis mat, pappa-närcon älskar dig vi är familj 4ever" så de tror att det är normalt för unga tonåringar att jobba så mycket. De flesta andra arbetsplatser söker inte volontärer som är yngre än 15 år och lockar dem inte med spel och godis.

Sen är min personliga åsikt att närcon inte borde ha minderåriga volontärer alls eftersom de tjänar pengar på konventet, och de klarar ju aldrig att få in tillräckligt många att jobba där så de borde göra mindre konvent istället.

you don't have to get the platinum-rated ultra premium Corsair ones that redditors like to shill but you really, really don't want to cheap out on your PSU. there's a fire hazard risk (that's a bit overstated imo) but more importantly it can easily fry your PC. My first power supply was the cheapest possible from some noname brand, worked ok for a while but then a random power surge made it smoke a bit and my motherboard was fried. Never had that happen with the EVGA one I use now

Tier lists aren't necessarily about price. There are expensive PSUs that are E tier and there are inexpensive PSUs that are A tier. PSU tiers come down to quality of design and manufacturing. To complicate it further very few of the companies that sell PSUs actually make or design them. All PSUs are manufactured by a limited number of OEMs and each OEM has their own platforms.

From looking at reviews here's two decent PSUs that are under $100
Corsair RM750x - rated A tier by Cultists Network

Gott mich regt dieses Cherry picking der Trannies so dermaßen auf. Und immer alles unter dem „du stimmst mir nicht zu? TRANSPHOB!!!“-Schutzschild.

Die Toiletten/Umkleide-Debatte sollte ja hinlänglich bekannt sein. Und ebenso die Tatsache, dass sich hierbei viele darauf berufen, dass separate Räume diskriminierend wären, weil man ja dann sagt dann Transmänner/-frauen keine richtigen Männer/Frauen seien.
Jetzt bekomme ich immer häufiger mit, dass sich beschwert wird, wenn sie genau wie Cismenschen behandelt werden. Beispiel aus dem (Gott sei dank ehemaligen) Freundeskreis: sog. ftm ~softboi beschwert sich, dass sie im Club bei dieser einen Veranstaltung als Mann mehr bezahlen muss, und überhaupt sei das ja ach so queerfeindlich.

Oder neulich auch irgendwo in den sozialen Medien gesehen, dass sich eine ftm Person beschwert hat, dass sie jetzt, wo sie augenscheinlich als Cis-Mann wahrgenommen wird, auch immer öfter mit dem Unmut bzw. der Abwehrhaltung von Frauen konfrontiert wird und sie zB auf Ansprechen etc sehr defensiv/abwehrend reagieren. Da müsse man als Gesellschaft und vor allem als Frau ja mal an seiner Wahrnehmung anderer Menschen arbeiten und Männern gegenüber offener und toleranter begegnen. Denn es könnte ja ein Transmann sein und dann kämpfe man ja auf derselben Seite.

Ich bin es so leid…

I hope this will be of some help to Youtube addicted nonnas like I was. There is a Firefox extension (I think it's just called No Clickbait?) that essentially turns off custom thumbnails for youtube videos and only shows a frame from the video instead. I never had insta, facebook or tiktok but youtube i've been addicted to since i was 14 and this is what finally got me to kick it. Couple that with the grayscale filter (thanks >>1851553) and Youtube is now wholly unappealing to me. Small victories.

>I think it's harder for adults to stumble upon random gore/cp/etc without searching for it than it was in the late 90s/early 2000s.

I agree to a certain extent. I think now edgelords are finding a work around for this where they're making bait videos where the thumbnail will be something harmless like a meme, and the rest of it will be gore, porn, or CP. Even on tiktok I've heard of people getting actual gore videos on their FYP. It's insidious. Even on twitter I get recommended foul videos of women getting assaulted or something upsetting on my new account feed. I hate it. Total social media death

No. 1965222

I recommend Kagi search engine because you can block websites like TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, etc. from appearing in search results. PocketTube because you can subscribe to any channel and add them into groups without being logged into YouTube ever and watch new videos from those groups in the phone app directly, which is great for curbing distractions (and gets rid of ads). It syncs between desktop and phone if you backup your settings and use Syncthing. Then you can block YouTube with e.g. Lock Me Out and put the password somewhere inconvenient or, if you choose the option, pay to recover it.

To block websites and apps on desktop, there's Cold Turkey Blocker, and the free version is excellent (and respects privacy more than others) but the paid version lets you schedule blocks for the whole week in advance and isn't a subscription. NewPipe for mobiles is a YouTube front-end with SponsorBlock built in and it has an option to change the names of clickbait titles or just outright hide similar videos, suggestions, Trending and What's New. I think it still sends your data to YouTube so if you're motivated by privacy then try LibreTube (in settings, disable Piped which is their proxy and use a VPN in general instead like Mullvad or Proton) or Invidious/Clipious. A read-it-later app is helpful for curbing distractions too, but I don't like Readwise Reader's fake nice privacy policy or team so I use Omnivore, which is free and has text-to-speech on iOS (whereas Reader has it everywhere and allows you to highlight on a webpage - these are my biggest tests of convenience vs. morals). This way you can't listen to music or anything else distracting while reading or go clicking around on other articles. brain.fm is another option if your brain has been fried by social media into needing two forms of stimuli at once but it's expensive. Possibly just download some nature sounds or add those chillout study stream channels to PocketTube (or the streams you want to a playlist in a front-end because I think videos from those play in the background).

The government doesn’t want less people though, they want more. The true (humane) way to lower the population is to hand reproductive power back to the people it belongs to: women.
