Wait, what? The author played along for more than a year and then placed a complaint? Maybe it's the way the article is written but this seems pretty bad on the author's part.
The author seemed to be mainly worried about their ruining their 'upward trajectory' in the company.
I don't know what /r/relationships. I am glad you and your partner resolved your issues. Do you think the same solution will work for every similar problem?
OP already explained that the partner does not see sitting at a computer as working. They have different underlying assumptions which need to be addressed. That can be hard but not worth throwing away a relationship unless one person won't work towards resolving it.
Woah - that is surprising. I wonder what the cause of the dislikes is on these videos? Is it targeted or just no overlap from Biden supporters and YouTube? Or they're not happy with Biden. Very telling that YouTube are moving to remove the dislikes though..
You can't consume all your information through one source or aggregator. Use multiple and introduce new ones frequently and you will have no reason to be concerned.
I also think your concerns can be addressed with just thinking and rationality. If you read something from one source and agree with it just recognise that you have some information but also recognise you don't have all the information. Keep an open mind and be skeptical. I think this is critical because you can't read enough sources on every topic.
