2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

At some point, you end up wanting some stability and the constant jumping gets old. Perhaps you finally hit a target salary that makes you go "well I guess that's enough".

Except that you wont get eaises to that salary to maintain your current atandard of living. Getting a 2% annual raise with 4% annual inflation is an annual pay cut. They only way to maintain the current standard is to get a new job every few years, or just quit playing the game.

Yes, but are you really going to dedicate 40 years of your life to having 20 jobs? At some point, you'll have to give that up.

[–] CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

I'm not even 30 yet and I've had 10+. Granted my current gig pays a bit less than the last few, but it pays the bills and it's 9 days out of 10 a very chill time, but when it's shit, it's SHIT.

I will update my CV as many times as it takes to find a job that suits my lifestyle and temperament, however, I won't keep working at a job I hate just to pay the bills, I'll find another.
