I didn’t know DDG introduced that feature. That’s sick honestly. They even have bangs for my more obscure wikis.

Tag me as well! I hope to have something with half the functionality of your setup by year’s end.

Stuff lik torn ligaments in your arm will still need to heal naturally if you overdo it, though. As we see with O’Brien.

Deep Space Nine. Not full re-watches, just going back to watch an episode or three.

A concept shared by both of these examples is that of the commons. You believe in an information commons, specifically as it pertains to medicine. A lot of users in the FOSS space believe in a technological commons.

I’m not going to delve too extensively into the political and philosophical definitions around the commons; there’s a wealth of economic and political anthropology dissecting the successes of the commons, how they tend to operate, and their potential place in future economies of the world. If you want a very brief primer, David Bollier’s Think Like a Commoner is a good start; it’s quick, inexpensive, and there’s an audiobook if that’s your jam.

Came here to suggest Titanfall 2, lol.

This is a different niche than COD-style shooters, but it seems like you might like movement shooters if you like Titanfall; games that take the “fast paced” part of your query to interesting places.

FUNKe has made four videos covering the state of movement shooters:

The State of Movement FPS

The State of Movement FPS 2

MORE Movement FPS

EVEN MORE Movement FPS

Someone else mentioned XDefiant, Skill Up gave a great overview of the current state of that game in April, during its closed beta. It’s more heavily team and kit focused, but still fast-paced while not being a movement shooter.

A power user is someone who tries to leverage features of systems and/or software to more efficiently or effectively interact with the platform/service they are a user of far moreso than the average user. Because users of third party apps on Reddit are the extreme minority (just look at official app downloads VS TPAs), they’re typically considered power users, as they are willing to go out of their way to make their experience better, even if it’s just downloading and setting up their app.

Power users also tend to be more active users; if you use something more, you’re more likely to want to improve the experience of using it. Someone who pays for extra features to leverage more power is probably someone who uses the platform/service a lot more than the average user.

They’re called a power user because they’re leveraging power by doing more to exploit (not a negative term here) potential out of what they have as a user; at least, that’s how I interpret the phrase.

there isn’t enough work for everyone

Immigrants induce demand for goods and services just like anyone else, thus the jobs to render those goods and services.

the crime just gets higher and higher

Technically depends on the country but this is usually false.

plus they do it illegally

Law is not morality. Perhaps it shouldn’t be illegal.

I’m on the FMHY instance and the only political ideology community that’s been showing up in my feed has been Anarchism, so it’s probably the instance to join if you’re libleft and don’t want to deal with Auth shit.

I suspect there’s also sampling bias. The types who are still using reddit are not the same who were heavily in support of the blackouts.
