Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

I got an office job a couple months ago, after years working in some pretty intense homeless shelters. Now I get paid more and 90% of my job is sitting alone in my office with zero supervision, reading and playing games on my phone. I just had a check-in with my boss where she kept telling me how amazing I'm doing at this. I tell her that I I'm spending most of my time just sitting on my ass, and she tells me that's normal and okay with this company.

It pays the bills but I really feel like I'm defrauding someone and I was definitely doing more meaningful work before. My bf says I should stop worrying and keep the easy job but it also gives me anxiety. My internalized work ethic sucks sometimes.

If you haven't, you should give Bullshit Jobs a read. It was honestly enlightening to see exactly the way I felt about my work explained thoroughly and with backing testimonies by other people in other careers who felt the same as I did. Really contributed to me knowing what I wanted to do and helped me leave that soulsucking role.

but I really feel like I’m defrauding someone

remember though time theft from your work is cool and good

They say don't look a gift horse in the mouth. I feel what you mean by internalized work ethic and defrauding someone however the alternative here is busting your ass so the company can see 0.1% growth or whatever meaningless number. All my favorite jobs have been where I do the least. Keeps the mind free of bullshit, at least for me
