1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This isn't an advice forum

Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

And getting enraged at the pervasive utter dearth of urgency I was seeing.

Also I’m recommending one dude get fired. It gives me no pleasure, he keeps doubling down on the terrible behavior to the point where he is actively impeding progress to an extent that finally outweighs the value of the his positive contributions. I’ve been workouts around him for two moths now. I’m at a loss. I just don’t see any other way.

I honestly don’t mind, because I enjoy the challenge. But in the moment the rage is real. I don’t know if that’s bad.

My 2c: while I don’t think I have enough context and history to really know, since you said rage I’d suggest trying to reflect on all this. Rage can be unhealthy (literally) and in a way it could be that you’re allowing this person to have a negative effect on yourself. It’s great that you care about your work and its success, but ask yourself whether you need to care this deeply about someone else’s work even if it impacts your own. I’d ask whether you could achieve the same result (reporting their behavior up to recommending they be fired) in a more calm, purpose-driven manner.
