What's Going On?

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.

On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.

Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .

This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

What's the plan?

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app.

The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, participating subs can use the community and buzz built between then and now as a tool for further action.

What else can be done?

• Complain. Message the mods of r/reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message /u/reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on r/reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.
• Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join the coordinated mod effort at r/ModCoord.
• Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
• Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

How often do you fall short of set goals? How many times do you tell yourself "This time I'll be dedicated"? How often are you left disappointed with the results? The problem isn't the goals you set, it's the lack of lifestyle change.
We often get too focused on the overall goal, not the small habits required by a goal. Every day we take steps in a direction, no matter what we do. Setting good habits will result in growth while bad habits will result in regression. If you could shift your daily focus to getting 1% better at the habits that are required by your goals, you'd witness growth by the end of the week, month, and year.
What daily habits do your goals require?

Back when I was 13-14 my dad once said he really loved the porche panemera (a 4 door sport car) he never mentioned the car unless I pointed one out on the streets.

I'm 23 now and I'll be working my a$$ off so My dad can ride in one of these while he's still relatively young and able to enjoy it.

I day dream about that day and shed a tear once in a while. I'll never stop until this becomes true.

So this isn't your typically "I want to be a star" post.

I want to star in a really really shitty horror movie before I die. Not some at home film that never gets see , but a really popular shitty film like Sharknado on a prominent network like SYFY or that at least shows up on Netflix. I really like the Sharknado movies BECAUSE of how ridiculous and stupid they are.

I have minimal acting experience, and less experience in the way of how one would even book a movie like this, or the resources to uproot my life to even try. Yet it's my dream.

When I think of these movies, I think of the best times of my life with my little cousin who got me started on them, and looking forward to seeing the new ones as they released. I think of casual movie nights with my friends I've shown the movie to, talking absolute shit about the acting, plot, and CGI the entire time.

My whole life I've been serious. My childhood was shit. My mental health was shit. I was constantly absorbed in my studies. And even now I throw myself into work and never have time for fun. I just want at least part of my life to be spontaneous, and something I can say no one else I know has done. I a few months to a year to goof off on some movie that others will be able to find joy in, and goof off too in the future.

I'm making excellent progress.

So I was in rehab quite a while ago and after that a year of outpatient rehab. For the sake of discussion, will see that my goal was to buy a certain property. So before I went to rehab, I had this property good to go and ready to close. But I pissed it all away when I got addicted to cocaine and lost it.

Buying this property was one of my main motivations in rehab and a year of Outpatient and motivated me to stay clean from cocaine.

Come to find out the property was a complete piece of shit. The façade was beautiful, but the foundation was fucked and cannot be repaired. So you have to tear down the old property to build the new property. I can say that I dodged a bullet.

I am saying sometimes when you fail a goal sometimes it’s actually a blessing.

What I want in life is to achieve best end or the best ending, it is a simple goal of achieving the best you life has to offer, getting the best ending of your life, I know it may seem unrealistic to get the best ending but I desire it, I want my life to be the best there ever is the best one I could ever have, although some things may go wrong I still consider them to be a part of best end, best end doesn't necessarily have to be the best end it is what you consider to be best end, and the first step to achieving that goal is to achieve satisfaction with yourself and your circumstances it doesn't matter if your ugly, handsome, poor, or rich the only thing that matter is to accept the different parts of yourself no matter good or bad, the second is to just try your hardest for anything whether that would be going to school working or just managing your life you need to try you best for everything, so you can say with confidence "I tried my best", and when you're inevitably lie on your death bed you can think and reflect finally say " I achieved the best ending to my story".

I am currently in the phase of opening a business where I feel "doubtful" on some days but I do this to help my family and future family.Most days I'm stressed an feel like the tides against me but I continue . I want to prove to myself I can do it.

No matter what, I keep pushing forward since October of last year. When I'm older near retirement age I want to buy plots of lands and make a sanctuary for dogs and other animals while setting up positive things for my kids.

​

Felt the need to "throw this out there" vent or something but thanks for reading.

Im veey overweight, and I've never been a good runner. I want to run a 5k to prove to myself that I can

Update: I did it. Goal accomplished. I'll definitely be doing more

Currently watching the NBA playoffs, and I keep envisioning myself sitting courtside at a game. I keep thinking, “I want that to be me.” I want to become financially successful enough to have the price of courtside seats to feel like nosebleed seats. And I won’t stop until that happens!

My one and only goal in life is to buy a house with at least 50 acres of land. I dream of having my own house that I can do anything I want with. I can plant my own flowers or vegetables. I could build a greenhouse. I could have a hot tub (I don't even like hot tubs, but I could). This is my singular goal in life.

No family. Everyday is the same. I live in welfare. Live in constant pain because of arthritis. I have dyslexia. I have no self discipline. I don't find one reason to live. I pretty much was unable to achieve anything I wanted in life. How can I find peace of mind in this?

I’m 17 in high school and want to get out of the US and out of the suburbs, and eventually experience as much of the world as possible. Ideally I would go to college outside of the US, study photojournalism and get a masters degree. I want to do freelance photojournalism and live on the road mostly- experiencing and photographing cultures, documenting both the beautiful and painful sides of humanity, spreading awareness about how issues affect individuals and society.

If I ever do settle down, I want to live in a very rural area surrounded by nature, preferably in a colder climate such as Norway. Or possibly the Scottish Highlands.

I don't have any particular career life goals. I'm 20, currently studying but i don't really know if all i want to do for the rest of my life is what i'm studying for (engineer). So i'll see i guess. At least i like what i am studying.

But i have some goals in life i would lile to achieve:

1- learning to drive. I have my license actually, but i haven't really practiced a lot after i got it (3 months ago). So i need to.

2- move out of my house. Probabily going to do it in a couple of years.

3- find love. I think this is my biggest dream. Find a person i love. "My person" if you will. I am such a sucker for romance, man.

4- making my food habits better and going to the gym

5- get merried. I want a small wedding, on the beach, in september. That's my dream.

6- start a tiktok/youtube page where i post my song covers. I've wanted to do that for a loooong time. Never had the balls to do it.

7- have a serious conversation with my mom about my sexuality.

8- opening my own business, like a "literary cafe" type of thing or a bed and breakfast.

9- selling my graphics online.

10- better myself before jumping in a relationship, as much as i want one. I know i'll hurt myself and probabily other people if i got into a relationship right now.

Not vague things like "be happy" or "be nice to others", but specific attainable things like "retire by 55" or "open a record store".

I live in an extremely expensive city in a big bright apartment that’s way below market rate

But the landlords live downstairs and they yell at each other a lot and are always home, the sound privacy is bad, my bedroom is above theirs, utilities are included in rent but they monitor how often I bathe

I’ve been here for 6 years and I’ve come to really hate it!!!

I feel stuck, but I’m not stuck. I’m gonna find a way out of here. I’ll find better work, I’ll move somewhere better for me. My life will look very different soon.

I am posting here to hold myself accountable.

The due date for goal completion is 17 April 2023.

I have made a decision to make a career switch.

I am on break from school and while I wait for the new semester, the first step in my plan is to get my CCNA.

Will update my progress. Thank you.

As a teen boy I sometimes don't feel energetic like doing shit how do i counter that and conquer every field

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a productivity app that:

1. Tracks streaks for good and bad habits.
2. Allows you to grow those habits over time. Studies show that when you're starting a new habit you should set an extremely attainable goal. So let's say my initial goal is to read 5 pages a day. In a month I want to increase that to 10 pages and so on. I need an app that lets me log the quantity of whatever I'm tracking. How much I'm doing in addition to how often I'm doing it.

So far I've tried Habitify and Everyday but have not found the functionalities I need.

Is there anything out there that does this?

I belive that I can be anything I want to be in life, but the problem is I don't know who should I be. Should I be entertainer? youtuber? singer? artist? professional gamer? millionaire? I want the best future for myself, but I don't know what that might look like and I can't try every single possible potential future for me because of my limited time here in this universe.

Hi everyone posting this here so I hope I can come back to this in a year for now and see if it became true or not.

-Stay on track with college.

-Improve family relationships.

I've never been camping before. I was a city kid, born and raised. We didn't go camping. My wife is from the mountains and went camping all the time as a kid.

Over the nearly 10 years that we've been together, she has gotten me to be alot more outdoorsy, and that has been a source of happiness in my life. But I have always had an irrational uncomfortableness towards camping. The thought of staying somewhere with no private bathrooms/showers etc. freaks me the hell out.

This year im getting over it. Im gonna start with a cabin, hopefully by the end of the year i'll sleep in a tent for the first time in my life.

Its a bit of a silly goal but it would marl the culmination of personal growth that I've been pursuing.

I have this view of me waking up in the morning and making a pot of coffee over an open fire. The mountains has become my happy place. Its where I want to be.

1.have a happy new years everyone!

1. Study hard till the second half of the first semester and manage a ~9 CGPA

2. Kill it in second semester with a perfect 10 cgpa and change my major to electrical engineering EE1

3. Get in better shape( Add 5-6

kilos of muscle and lose ~5% body fat) 4. Reduce consumption of fatty foods and fast food and packaged snacks like chips, cookies to once a week.(Single pack of chips per week) ( Badly addicted to chips) 5. Reduce jerking off to once every two weeks for now.

1. Travel
2. spend time with nature
3. have the best time of my life
4. maybe a trip to Las Vegas
5. of course, (presents)
6. spend lots of quality time with friends, or with a friend or my mom or all the above.
7. Eat
8. take joyful photos, at the most intent time of my life
9. make lots of wonderful memories of my first-time entering adulthood
10. enjoy my new start of life
11. the real adventure begins now.

My one main goal in life is to be financially stable enough to not have to worry about which bill to prioritize and if I'm going to be able to eat. I want to be able to just get up and go to a store and buy small things without thinking about it.

My dream for life is to have my own fudge shop. If I can reach my goal mentioned above, or if I could find an investor willing to work with me, then I can reach my goal and achieve my dream too.

I'm 21 years old (M), I'm married, and have one kid with another on the way. Right now I work a miserable factory job that works me a lot of hours so I have hardly any time or energy outside of work. I'm currently working on losing weight to try and join the Air Force. If that fails I think I'll join the Army instead. I've lost 10 pounds the past month and have 30 left to lose. While I'm serving, my wife really wants to do college online for something in the medical field. Once I'm done with my 3 or 4 years in the military, I really want to use the VA loan to get a house but I also really want to go to college to study chemistry. I worry though because I read online that people say it's a good degree to have but then I also see people say it's not. I can't really find any jobs for it on Indeed so it really worries me because I genuinely want to study that.

I also have ambitions in my hobbies that I seem to not have time for lately. I love playing guitar and want to get better at playing, learn more music theory, and eventually write music. I also really love languages. I get really indecisive on which language I want to learn because I feel like I'll never have time to learn more than one in my life.

I just don't know how accomplish everything I want to do while also being a good husband and father at the same time. Feeling super overwhelmed over this, I'd appreciate any advice.

I don't know what goals I should have. There are so many goals I just don't know which ones are the most important

It's been over two years.
