"Stop posting in relevant communities"

Sincerely just trying to help post content to otherwise largely dead communities that often struggle to have a few posts in a week much less a day.

Also, I'm not getting down-voted on the whole. Apparently lots of people are enjoying the content.

I got yelled at for making original posts in multiple communities, now I get yelled at for cross posts. I'm just posting relevant content to relevant groups.

I thought the cross post was supposed to solve for it and your client only showS one post if you're subbed to multiple communities that it's cross posted to, no? I only see it once in my feeds.

What are your interests and skills? Like someone else said, who you know matters more than anything else, but depending on what your interests and skills are, you can go out of your way to connect with people in that space.

And get used to finding ways of talking about yourself as a good fit for that kind of job. Brag on yourself.

Also, volunteering is a great way to build up a resume of skills in areas where you have no prior experience. There are jobs at food banks, homeless shelters, etc., but there are also often places like art museums and zoos that need volunteers. Basically, any non-profit you can think of probably runs largely on volunteers. Sometimes it's in a warehouse or doing trash cleanup, but often they're in office tasks like filing, misc office work, answering customer service emails, etc., that would be a great stepping stone to getting paid to do those things somewhere.

You're actually kinda right. My understanding is the very first jpg image was an unlicensed scan of a playboy centerfold (cropped to exclude the nudity). It was copied and redistributed all over the place, before the internet even existed and it wasn't licensed, but was copyrighted.

Not in this community. I posted to four different c/photography communities.

Nice. You got it!

I think boot (you could also say bonnet/hood, lift/elevator, etc), pants, and knob all do have the same meaning between US and UK, they just have additional slang meanings, but those slang meanings are based on their real meanings.

Chips and Biscuit are better examples of having truly different meaning IMO.

Most/many evangelicals are anti-Semitic. They support action like this because they think it is completing prophecy and will help bring about Armageddon and Jesus's return (that's to really bad, cherry-picked readings of their own scriptures)

That's basically what Amazon did. They did it even worse: they sold many things below cost. They ran their entire business burning cash for a long time (surviving off money raised from investors and later from going public and selling stock), driving other book stores out of business. Once they had enough market share and less competition, they negotiated tougher deals with publishers for lower costs and raised their prices to be at least a little profitable (they still sell some things loss-leader and many things at cost).

Edit: publishers, not punishers!

You know very different rich people than I do.

I still love the interpretation of this event from the short "Troops" (parody of the old "Cops" TV show) https://youtu.be/5HO70-Rk3jE

Oh, I'm not saying voting is the only thing we can do. Not by a long shot. It's just the most impactful.
