Report the problem and if they don't believe you or are unwilling to act, leave. Either way, start looking for a new job right away in case things don't go your way.

End to end travel time is the biggest drawback of public transportation. Getting from my city to the next major city is an 8 min train ride or a 20 min drive. But getting from my home to my friends in that city is easily twice as fast by car.

It's a huge problem. If you live next to the train station and like to go to a pub right next to your destination's train station, all is well. But for those who like to visit friends instead of going to the nearest pub, public transportation just kinda falls apart.

My wife wanted to pick up our dog that was staying with me at a friend's place before coming home from work. Because the friend lives a little bit outside of the major city it would have been a 2h20m train ride for the whole trip. Or 30 min by car.

But upvotes on discussions there are literally 100 times what they used to be just half a year ago. No way that happens naturally.

I used to be a lot on r/travel. Back then there were posts with pictures that had upvote ls in the triple to quadruple digit range. There were also user questions, usually in the double digits.

Now the majority is just discussions that mysteriously have thousands of upvotes. And some of them quite boring. That must be bots or fakes directly by reddit. No way this happens naturally.

Is this common practice now or is that something r/travel did specifically?

Don't spread false information. Yes orange cats are more likely to be male. No, orange cats are not less intelligent. I've just researched it.

Heavy subsidies for our most cruel products?

It's neither. It is wilful ignorance. All those studies sorting political affiliations by education, IQ and whatnot never show a difference that is nearly as large as these kind of comments suggest. There are small trends, but not more.

The average IQ of republicans isn't much lower. They just choose to squander their potential. Never underestimate the potential often human beings to lie to themselves. It is one of our most honed skills.

This looks like Neuschwanstein

I'm using social media less and less because of this. It feels like I'm just browsing ads. When everything tries to grab your attention, nothing does.

That escalated pretty hard, didn't it?

Upwards to the moon by Sa Dingding. Most beautiful song I've ever heard. Excellent voice, incredibly difficult to sing, awesome presentation. Caught me completely by surprise when I found out about it

Biggest concern for me is the broken auto scrolling/updating. I can't use this site properly as long as the list of topics doesn't stay in place long enough for me to finish reading the headline.

Hopefully after this is fixed I'll start contributing.
