I recommend the book Range, by David Epstein. It makes the point that people can be more successful when they bring different skills and backgrounds to a task or job than if they only narrowly focus on one area their whole career. It’s got lots of examples, discusses what kind of environments reward narrow vs broad range, etc., and overall is a strong endorsement of career hopping.

Life is short. If you’re not happy with what you’re doing, you should make a change.

I 100% thought the thumbnail was two people arguing over Poo! or Peww! and was really confused… it’s pool, so that’s alright then.

Driving fast in the right circumstances is a blast, no one is denying that. E.g., doing a track day, or even road racing on a closed course. But it’s not the same as driving in public day-to-day. Here in the US southwest, in order to drive a road race in the 150 mph/250 kph class, you need a 5 point harness, fire suppression system, helmet and HANS device.

You simply don’t need to go that fast on a daily basis. It’s not safe for you, without all the above precautions, and it’s not safe for others around you.

Auto manufacturers use the top speeds/acceleration/torque stats for marketing. Drivers imagine they will have fun going that fast (see above, they can!), they perceive value in having “better stats”, so the market rewards manufacturers to keep selling daily-driver cars that have unrealistic top speeds. Combine that with the fact that most people can’t afford to have a separate “fun” car, or access to safe locations for motor sports, and we end up seeing people trying to have the fun they imagined on our shared public roadways, which is downright dangerous for everyone.

Get your kicks on the track. Your car’s top speed does not belong on public roads.

Based on the first 3-4 pages of your profile, it actually looks like you’ve had a couple of different accounts downvoting everything for a week or so at a time. If it’s all the same person, then banning one account isn’t going to fix your problem, they’ll just make a new one and continue. Why not just make a new account for yourself?

Also, this isn’t Reddit. Don’t upvote your own comments.

May I also suggest, even easier than saltines, a nice tall, refreshing glass of water? The perfect meal replacement for those times when you're too busy (or poor) to eat!

That's me right now. I walk/bike when I have to go in to work, and have a Fit for when I need a vehicle otherwise. I wish I could go smaller, but I don't want to buy a new car until I need to.

oh my god you're right. I need to go find my grouchy pants (they sit somewhere just below my chin) and get on that...

I would love to give off “old man yelling at clouds” energy. If I had a lawn, I’d yell at people to stay off it, but sometimes very quietly so I can eavesdrop on their drama.
I don’t see normie used online often, and OP was clear it was meant to be mildly insulting, along the lines of basic:

Oh, what’s a better word to describe someone who is super mainstream and only likes something if other people like it or they were told to like it?

Is it yelling at clouds to remind people to be nicer to each other?

This is a really important point people seem to be missing. SCOTUS has only temporarily blocked the deal until they hear arguments in the case. Given what we now know about some of the justices, I wouldn't hold my breath that rich people will be held accountable.

I'm curious where you live that you get followed/shouted at and it wouldn't affect you? I live in one of the top two largest cities in the US, that does happen here, and it's always something to be concerned about.

Honestly, I’m really tired of this take. Humans are social creatures, it is normal to care about what others think of us and our contributions to the social fabric. Would you stay in a community where you were only ever downvoted because ‘you shouldn’t care about votes’? That sounds psychotic, or trolling. If somebody followed a stranger down the street shouting you suck every minute, would you tell them they shouldn’t be caring about that?
Not to pick on your comment specifically, I see this phrase all over and I know the intent is not to let online stuff affect your real life/determine your happiness. But the phrasing make it sound like people are crazy to care to care at all, when for the majority of human development the opposite is true and you be crazy not to.

Aglets. Can't remember where I learned the word.

It's fine, they're phishing and hoping someone will bite. I got a version of this that listed a date and time they "hacked" me also. Too bad for the spammer they picked a day when the desktop was in the back of my car moving across the country! I got a few more over maybe 6 months? First in English, then Chinese, then Japanese...
Nothing will happen. Just delete it and forget about it.

You can never interact negatively with their decisions or thoughts. Downvotes disabled. Admin literally removing any opposing view while keeping positive ones.

I don't disagree that this is concerning coming from an instance admin. But on the other hand, I can kinda understand where it might be coming from. The admin is a trans woman, and as such I'm sure she deals with enough shit IRL/online with people questioning her very right to exist. I bet anyone would get tired of making space for opposing opinions when frequently those opinions are hateful and dangerous and directed at one's validity as a human being. I imagine she's out of fucks all around now and acting accordingly, even in a circumstance that might call for more nuance. I can have empathy for that.

No opinion on the NSFW issue since I don't want to interact with that content. Just wanted to gently remind that we're all just people doing our best here.
