Up until a few months ago I was really heavy on reddit and twitter. Now I use lemmy and threads. I will say that since both apps are a lot less active than what they replaced, I am on social media for considerably less of my day. Paradoxically, I am much more active on social media than before I made the switch.

Love seeing my Senators names on the good side

I think the main issue with Rogen is that while he provides a platform for voices across the political/social spectrum (which is great), he does very little to challenge his guests and generally goes with the flow. This means that people making false claims or dog whistle statements are being taken at face value alongside people making good faith arguments, which grants those bad actors some amount of undeserved authenticity.

So no, he is not nearly as bad as Andrew Tate etc; but he has a lot of exposure and clout that he does not always bring to bear in the name of true and honest discussion. Also the whole RFK debate thing is really poignant here as it’s a typical example of taking two “balanced” perspectives on vaccines and assuming that they both deserve to be at the same table, when in reality the anti vax movement largely gets by without any scientific evidence and isn’t a reasonable position to hold.

I definitely remember climbing a rope in PE in like 3rd or 4th grade which would be around '99. Washington State btw.

This is the way

Also doesn’t the law deal with water breaks at work? OPs examples were all people doing their own thing. I think we’re all in agreement though that if people are dying from the heat right now that it will get a lot worse once this legislation takes effect.

It’s pretty cruel to put your cat in a prime position to get hit by a car though

Waiting for Sync

I haven’t been on since the 10th and I was on it near constantly before that. If reddit sync isn’t going to be around 10 days from now then I have no plans to use the site anything like I used to. I literally have no desire to learn their crappy app and lose the curated experience I had set up for myself. The only redditing I plan for the future is googling for specific questions in niche communities.

I’ve got a couple groups of friends that my wife and I play Jackbox with over discord, it’s almost as good as being in the same room!
