Oof, yeah that’s a good point. My county has a decent one and I’m happy to support them, but I wouldn’t pay for it if I was in your situation either.

Make sure to support your local news sources too. Lots of great suggestions here for staying up to date with national and world news, but your local newspapers serve a valuable role in keeping up to date on what local governments are doing in your communities, and holding them accountable.
A lot is probably just because of the sheer volume of people over there, whatever the interest was, there’d be plenty of people who were really into that thing. I miss subs like r/whatisthisthing and r/tipofmytongue that worked because just by exposing it to so many people, there was a good chance of coming across someone who was actually familiar with it already.
Yeah, I agree I like the vibe here. And now I’m a decade older than I was when I started reddit so it feels like I’m coming here with a different attitude. On reddit I mostly lurked – by the time I’d get to a thread there would be so many comments I didn’t really have anything to add anyway.
Yeah, at least I can remember getting a phone call and looking at my phone and reading the caller ID. I don’t think it comes up much though.
The fact that I read the caller ID and thought “oh yeah, that’s my 4 year old daughter’s lawyer” when I saw the name, that should have been a clue I was dreaming.
