Oh this is a great one. I was once in a job, where we were introduced to a new system that was designed to count successes. The problem was, that it was a job where we worked with people and everything we did couldn't be quantified. The new system only put value on what could be counted so 80% of our work became invisible and "worthless". Great times.
As a Moderator, I was considering deleting this post as I don't encourage the spread of propaganda and especially not North Korean propaganda. North Korea is a terrible totalitarian dictatorship, that treats its own citizens as prisoners and has no respect for human life and autonomy.
The reason I haven't deleted it is because I find it interesting how North Korea frames propaganda and tries to affect people outside NK, and in doing so, so helplessly misses the mark so often. Also because the aim of NKnews seems to be to report from NK in a neutral way.

I was about to write The Shining. For me it's just the perfect mix of psychological horror, suspense and generally just great characters and story.
If I should mention another one, I would say Susperia (2018), though I'm not the biggest fan of the ending.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not the most active, but I made a sublemmy (I'm still not sure about the naming convention here lol) and that's something I never did on Reddit, because everything was usually already there in some form. I also did it to contribute, because I know that us being active actually counts for something. On Reddit I could go months without posting or commenting. So yes, I'm definitely more active and it feels like you are actually engaging with other people and not just consuming content.
I'll stick around. Not going back to reddit, but I hope Lemmy grows and becomes more active.
Ah ok, I edited the link right after I posted, to a link of the full article, but you must have pressed it with the old link before I changed it. I read it without any pop-ups appearing. That's annoying, sorry that you couldn't finish it.
Which article did you attempt to access?
Loads better!
My feelings exactly. I know you can go out and search, but there is something thrilling about suddenly being presented with a slice of life that you never thought about or even knew existed before. Thanks for the support!
Yeah, it really makes you question humanity. I hate that some people have to go through that sort of thing everyday.
I know it's a joke and I appreciate the meaning of the original comment, but I don't think you need to constantly challenge yourself to enjoy life. Sometimes it's ok to sit back and enjoy what you have and what you know. Just as long as you don't settle and forget to be open to new things that could enrich that life.
