Healthcare co-ops exist. But a good number of people get health insurance through their jobs, and those jobs usually contract with one of the big corporations.

I don't know about content, but the Linux and self-hosting communities on Lemmy are infinitely more helpful than the ones on Reddit.

Watched A Real Pain in the theater with maybe 5 other people.

I still have a modded WD TV Live Plus media box in the back of a drawer somewhere.

I still have to use the calculator when taking exams. If I pull out a phone it's an automatic fail.

That's the wide maniacal smile of someone who revels in the thought of carving you like a decorative soap.

There are a few reasons. Most people just let me go about my work with very little interference, my boss included. The pay is good and I have a good amount of autonomy that I don't know I would find in a different job. The work itself can be tedious at times, but I still kind of enjoy it and I've done it long enough to be really good at it. And, like I said, I'm now numb to the people who don't like me. Their dislike doesn't bother me enough to give up the things I like about the job.

I'm always open to other job options, but I'm not actively searching at the moment and nothing better has come along so far.

Sunbeam honey buns and Sara Lee apple danishes. I have a bit of a sweet tooth.

Most of my co-workers don't like me. My boss doesn't even like me. But I'm known for the quality and consistency of my work. So I pop my earbuds in and go about my day, and they leave me to it for the most part. Every now and then my boss asks me to take on a special project that requires more group interaction than I'm comfortable with, and I just have to grit my teeth and get through it.

I've become more numb to being disliked over the years. I try to accept and respect that they are who they are and that's ok as long as they also respect my social boundaries. And even when they don't, I have learned to kindly, but firmly, assert those boundaries.

I wouldn't bring it up in an interview. Knowing how extrovert-centric the job market can be, there's no need to shoot yourself in the foot by making it an issue if it doesn't come up. Once you have the job, if they decide to fire you because you're not enough of a social butterfly, despite your good work ethic, then that's their loss.

I've encountered the problem in your first bullet across multiple podcast apps. I think it might be more of a general Android issue instead of being specific to a single app.

This is what I say to people I want to maintain a loose relationship with without having to explain why I never want to hang out with or call them.

Throw the trolley off the side of the ferry.
