Interesting; I'm running Ublock and it didn't hide it for me. Maybe mobile vs desktop? Thanks for the archive link!

Edit: super weird, the subscription pop-up still shows up on the archive site.

Snow Crash is almost kinda satire, but also not. Also, I believe, the first use of the term "metaverae". It's a fun read.

All that does is compel the recipient to stop what they're doing and wait until you send the message, which, if you're typing up a wall of text, could be minutes. This is like calling someone on the phone and, when they answer, saying "hello please hold". Don't do it; it's super rude.

Going to the Labor board, at least here in Oregon, is pretty painless and may be doable while still working there. My only experience with them was after an employer just locked us all out of the building and closed one day, so continuing to work wasn't an option for me. They treated me well and got me money quickly, then took the guy to court to get it back themselves.

Also, I don't "keep talking" about much here; the comment you replied to was the first one I made :).

If you get fired for that, you should take them to your state's Labor board and/or to court.

If we're really lucky, maybe they'll patent the idea and then everyone else will have to stop doing it.

I'd say it's still murder, but passive rather than active.

Just as an FYI, "averse" is what you want there, rather than "adverse". Likely an autocorrect thing, but figured I'd mention it just in case.
