    If you don’t like Firefox or Mozilla, stop using it

    Agreed

    If you feel that strongly about it, create a Fuck Mozilla community and post there to your heart’s content.

    Nobody wants to scream into the void

    You’re doing nothing in this community with your incessant posting about how Firefox and Mozilla are bad

    Not true, it has sparked emotion and brought attention to a subject. The main goal in protest.

    except making yourself feel good and destroying people’s curated subscription feeds.

    Again, it’s a protest. It’s meant to go against the status quo to bring attention to it.

    I’m undiagnosed, uneducated, but I haven’t held a job longer than a year after 12 years in the workforce. I lose interest in the job a month in, usually right after training and getting a grip of it.

    All the Jobs I’ve had were min. wage entry level junk. I haven’t worked anywhere that had vertical movement. These types of job are mind numbing, the culture is awful, and it’s borderline slavery.

    I don’t self-medicate with alcohol, caffiene, or smoking, as nearly all of my colleagues do. Therefore, I don’t tolerate things that are “normal”.

    I think everything we are forced to do will result in burnout. Work, chores, homework. If we have to do it to get by, it’s going to burn us out at some point. You can either cope by self-medicating, or find a new job that sounds interesting to you.

    In many states, work is at-will. You are allowed to leave at any time. If there is a better opportunity for you (not just financially, but mentally) take it.
