Thanks for the link. Not a bad distraction! I hope there’s a large catalog in case I want to treat it like the random Stumble button of yore (which I must have hit hundreds of times at least).
I lost some, I won some.

StumbleUpon was the best. I do miss it.
We all like to joke about cats leeching but they’re definitely not Capitalist. They’re hunter gatherers for whom the concept of hoarding resources doesn’t exist. To them, when there’s plenty, you vie for it all within the social group (seems there are hierarchies?) and no one has to go hungry and there’s no waste (including wasted energy). This also preserves plenty of leisure and social time.
If raised in an environment where it makes sense to hunt and you encourage them to do so, they’ll happily contribute what they believe to be palatable food. If left alone, reasonably fit cats can fend for themselves too if necessary.
They’ll take what shelter they get and bury their waste so it can fertilize the ground.

Regnier still works from home one to two days a week, and has been even more lenient with Santander’s 19,000 UK staff, with office-based workers only expected to be onsite two days a week.
“I don’t think it’s absolutely vital that people spend all five days a week in the office as they did pre-Covid,” Regnier says from his sixth-floor office near Euston station in London. “And, actually, had it not been for Covid, I wouldn’t have accepted this job, because I wouldn’t have wanted to be away from home five days a week in London. That wouldn’t have been good for the family or for me.”
This has helped Regnier, who is paid £3.3m to run the UK’s fifth-largest bank, gain a reputation as an “approachable” boss, according to a former colleague
Nobody should be paid that much but he’s an outlier for the industry in allowing hybrid work at least.
Usually, but I’m conscious of that and limit what they can get where I can for now. (And at least on my phone I use Newpipe only.)
I was already blocking ads since long ago, so what really bugs me now is the heavily degraded and incredibly off-putting search results these days. (Fixed that godawful UI change right away too, and I’m just not over having to use an outside search engine for accurate results.)
It doesn’t. Graeber was an anthropologist and Wengrow is an archaeologist. It’s a review of existing evidence from past civilizations (the diversity of which most people are hugely ignorant about), making the case the most common representations of “civilization” and “progress” are severely limited, probably to a detrimental extent since we often can only base our conceptions of what is possible on what we know.
That’s highly subjective, but the fascinating book The Dawn of Everything argues otherwise. There are even parts about the anthropological evidence some peoples just up and changed systems every so often (yes, non-violently). Our problem as people in the modern era is many can’t imagine anything else, not that no one ever did.
When I did that work, they encouraged everyone to put people on hold when looking anything up because it reset your call timer and made the numbers look better.
Per hour? It’s all a blur to me at this point.
