  • I’m not sure why you’re moving out, but can I offer an unconventional idea?

    Look at things like workaway for housing. Different hosts have different minimum and maximum stays, but this would be temporary anyways.

    Try a work exchange program. You work, they provide accommodation and sometimes much more. Bills are taken care of (you’re a guest), your accommodation costs only up to 25 hours of your time, and there could be other perks like them letting you use the staples in their pantry or invite you to dine with them. They can show you around the area and tell you good info. Maybe they have a bike or even a car to lend.

    There a lot of different types of jobs to pick to find one that suits your needs. Some job examples are farmwork, IT help, teaching, nannying, accounting, dog-sitting, and even plain-old house-sitting!

    And since it’s just regular people making a deal, there can be a lot of flexibility schedule-wise if you have school or job hours.

    It could be a nice way to move out and not be alone with all those bills, rent, and furniture buying/moving until you get your “sea-legs” in your new environment :)

    *I will add that hosts’ accommodations can range from a tent in their backyard to an apartment/house for yourself. There may also be more than one work-exchange guest, but it’s pretty much roommates.





  • The same company. If they are far from their employees it’s not the employees’ fault.

    They hired Bob in the first place, meaning they want his work. Now it’s on company time instead of the people’s time. How much work do people actually do in their 9-5s?

    Try not looking at this from a money perspective over a people perspective. Companoes threw fits and anguish at the ideas of 40 hour workweek, weekends, overtime pay, etc, yet here we are! 32 hour work weeks and commute time included on the 8 hours can be next.


  • I like the idea of the commute being included in the work hours. When you start driving to work, that’s when you’re clocked in.

    Alice lives closer so she can get to work faster and get more done sonce the company only loses 20 minutes of Alice-time.

    Bob is farther so thats 70 minutes of Bob-time not doing work during his shift.

    Maybe companies will begin to factor in the lost time of commutes and hire more locally. It could get more organized.

    I am sure people’s time is being wasted by inefficiency. Like, company X has several factories in the state. How many people from city A are working in the factory at city B while B’s commute up to city A?

    Lots to think about. Traffic, time, privacy? I dunno. Just thinking as I go :)





  • Otherwise, you’re just patting each other on the back on twitter about being morally superior while not changing or doing anything.

    Isn’t this exactly what you are doing? You are debating that there are more important things so it isn’t important to think of the ‘little stuff’. So, instead of using inclusive language, which would be ‘changing or doing anything’, you are arguing there is a more morally superior thing to focus on.


  • Share it! I’m curious!! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

    I think my computer use could work well with Linux. Mainly I watch movies from my files or through streaming, browse the internet, and photoshop. Though I don’t game, people are unhappy there can be compatibility issues with Linux. What makes it like that? What problems will I run into and where should I look to solve them?

    I’m no programmer. I probably need some explain-like-I’m-five instructions.

    Thanks in advance, friend.
