Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I work in a field that is essentially always on. If I am on a project I may have to stop what I am doing and go home to start working. It sucks but it pays well to cover my student loans and for my kids to be able to do the activity they want. If I miss an email from a client that needs a response I may lose the company that client. Then potentially after that my job.
Sorry it bothers you that I got an email. My family comes first.
Not sure what situation or event annoyed you but a broad blanket statement without consideration is just as wrong as whatever is annoying you.
For necessity it obviously given a pass. I think my post makes that clear. Ain't nobody hearing updates on actual issues every 3 mins.
This post obviously isn't based on those situations.
I’m going to argue that your post does not make that clear. HOWEVER your comments to everyone and the general discussion do. You are right, and I’ll be honest I even agree with the spirit of what you are saying. Turn off the discord notifications, Snapchat, etc. Nails on a chalk board.
Who cares. Itrs not even the topic at hand, yet you'd steer that way.
