I'm currently overthinking the future, my identity, what I want and need going forward, what reasons to keep going forward, if this is the best I can do, why I'm afraid of most of life, and a bunch of other shit.

Uh, I'm trying to find out if we're getting paid before or after the holiday?
I don't even think that actually touches on the point here. People want purpose, meaningful purpose out of the thing they spend most of their lives on. Unionizing isn't going to give you job satisfaction if you're a data entry operator unless that's something you find fulfilling.
I work in IT and used to be passionate about computers and the internet but now I want to do something else and get away from the grind of IT work, where nothing is ever completed or provides a sense of accomplishment. There's no meaningful purpose in it for my life other than a paycheck.
Unionizing might help with getting better pay for work but in terms of actual purpose, fulfillment and job satisfaction unions are as useful as advocating for a car club when I'm changing my oil. Completely unnecessary and unrelated and doesn't address the goal at hand.
This is something that's an individual pursuit beyond days off and pay.
That's a unix wizard beard level Dad joke
That guy totally fucks.
Devil's advocate but Edge is just reskinned and revamped chrome so it's not the worst thing imaginable.
Reddit was easy and having run Slackware, anywhere you can save time so you can make more tweaks is just the name of the game.
Conversely, why not if they can track my online activity, social media presence, shopping and voting habits. I mean they listen to conversations I'm having to make recommendations for ads so why not read my email too? Shit, they probably have enough information to just guess what's there based off like 7 pieces of data. Or maybe they agree they won't but you'll use a browser that'll read it as you do.
That said if you're not paying for your email or anything else, you're the product and arguably letting businesses read your email is the tradeoff, which is crazy that we ever collectively agreed to that for so long.
Some people, as unfortunate as it is, can be honest and sincere by saying that they didn't know how the colosseum is.
Isn't that kind of the point? You don't get very far hiding in a social setting. You're on a public website talking to other people. Your posts should be public, comments, etc. At least people should treat all websites or apps they didn't develop personally like they're public. I mean you don't really have a right to privacy in public.
And I'm not trying to say this with some malicious tone or anything but it's just my view on it.
I think it's fine to have theories but for a lot of the "conspiracy theorists", it's a philosophy, a religion, an ideology independent of reality. It requires belief, faith and a lot of mental gymnastics to believe you know the truth and everyone else is absolutely blind to it. And people build their personalities on these things and then you just get to a point where to admit you're wrong would mentally destroy you.
This guy would be three steps ahead of the PR. Dude publicly mocked a guy in a wheelchair who also happened to have a 100 million dollar clause if he was fired, which he was, publicly, on Twitter while having his HIPAA information released by his CEO because he thought he was malingering.
What PR firm could get ahead of that ONE day, let alone so many others of that level of holy shit? Not one that wants to stay profitable since he's supposedly stiffing other companies they do business with.
