Will do, appreciated!

Understandable, I appreciate your input all the same.

Would it be smart or even useful to try to reach out to her former manager to get info or try to trap them in a lie? E.g. "Hello Mr.X, I had a call to determine my eligibility for unemployment today and was told that you stated that you gave me verbal warnings prior to my termination..." And so on

They stated that "her behavior did not necessitate a written warning but verbal warnings were given" which sounds completely asinine to me given that they fired her without giving her a written warning.

Is the appeal process literally just resubmitting the application multiple times?

Would it be helpful to reach out to her former manager and ask why/if they made those statements or is it just best to keep our heads down and hope the appeal works?

Sorry about that, updated my post.

I prefer it. The concept of federation has been hard to wrap my mind around, but I think the issue with current-day reddit is that many communities became so large that interactions between users and even interactions with posts that are more than an hour old almost completely dried up (or at least that was my experience) which made the website a lot less interesting as a social platform and more of just a time-wasting doomscrolling link aggregation platform.

True, but modern advertisement is almost always intended to deceive. Shitty mobile game ads that don't even show the actual game's content, advertisements for complete scams to get rich quick, etc. It's all some ploy to get people to go download some app so it can collect your data to sell to advertisers or effectively steal your money by misleading you.

Sounds awful. I am pretty sick of just not being able to spend a single moment without being advertised to.

Hell yeah! My favorite will always be Richard Diamond. Private Investigator but I love Suspense and The Shadow as well.

Oh and Gunsmoke of course; I like the show as well but James Arness' voice just doesn't match William Conrad.

Seriously, why the fuck has advertising become so incredibly insidious and pervasive in recent years? I can't go anywhere on the internet and not see ads or a warning to turn off my ad blocker or message telling me to subscribe to view the content. Worse, I can't even be out in public in the city without having another fucking ad shoved in my face. I was recently walking downtown at 1 am or so waiting on an uber and really enjoying the cool night air, not on my phone or anything, just enjoying the moment, and I saw an insanely bright billboard advertising something.

I feel like ads are just starting to really wear on me. I'm sick of consuming and being told to consume and being manipulated in the death throes of capitalism.

My old person trait is that I listen to old radio shows and watch a ton of classic movies and shows.

I'm 28 and don't even know when I discovered this exactly but on archive.org there's a group of people called the Old Time Radio Researchers Group who catalogue and archive all of the old radio shows. Some of the episodes sound like they could have been recorded yesterday just because they're in such high quality.
