I came here to say something similar: get a little off the beaten path to find out what its really like in the area. The more foreign the area is to you, the more interesting it will be. Obviously, feel out the area or find out from a local to be sure you're safe to venture off.
NSFW filtering was supposedly fixed a month ago, but it either isn't working or the instance hasn't updated to the latest changes yet.
As a workaround, I've been hiding the sections with a uBlock Origin filter.
Just add these lines to the "My filters" page in uBlock Origin. The first line hides the "Random Posts" section, and the second line hides the "Random Threads" section. (Replace "kbin.social" if you're on a different instance)
NSFW content doesn't even show up anywhere for me in kbin - unless I go directly to the magazine/community. I have everything set to allow it to show, but it just won't. I don't understand how y'all are getting random tidbits of titties without trying, but it seems to be actively censored for me.
I check mastodon occasionally but there aren’t enough people posting about the topics I care about to keep me there regularly. And yes, people have already told me to “create the content you want to see” ”start the community yourself and it will thrive” but those are unrealistic goals when the people simply aren’t there.
It was glib, and not at all indicative of the majority reason(s) for why people stop looking for work. Moreover, it only further stigmatizes the unemployed with its mislabeling of them. As one who overcame houselessness, I can speak from a very real and intimate knowledge of the experience, and would’ve appreciated a little more effort in conveying your meaning to increase awareness and avoid confusion.
I can speak from a very real and intimate knowledge of the experience,
As can I.
I am sorry you have had this experience that but that does not give you supreme authority over how I am allowed to comment about things I have experienced.
People who take jobs under the table, people who go back to school full-time, people who live with parents, people who are stay-at-home parents… the list goes on.
Unless they are supported by their spouse, family or got an inheritance they dont.
But since these Labor Bureaus are typically terrible at helping people back into employment and it is not their job to do so, playing around with the statistics is what they do. Their actual job in most countries it to create a hostile and degrading environment for unemployed people, so people are more fearful of losing their jobs and accept shitty work conditions and wages.
Here (Germany) for instance you have to submit a sick note to them, so they take you out of the “job seeker” statistic, as you are sick and for the days you are sick you couldn’t work, so you wouldn’t be employed for these three days.
In the same wake they like to put you in “qualification courses” that often have no point to any employment or are piss poor, e.g. how to do additions in excel. Again the point of these is not to help you get back to work, but to make you fearful of unemployment, before you lose your job. But since they cannot officially communicate that as there goal, they entangle it with the target metric, so the bureau employees are motivated to degrade the unemployed people.
The independently wealthy, stay at home parents, the disabled, the kids who stay at home after school and are still supported by parents, people who make their money in illegal ways, the list goes on.
