They aren’t entirely wrong. Grocery stores often have a bread aisle with loaves that probably fit that description. Many grocery stores also have a bakery department that has bread baked in house. I looked at their nutritional facts online and my local grocery chain says there is no added sugars in their sourdough. I know a couple of local bakeries near me as well. Not all of our bread is wonder bread.

It wasn’t just that. I used the first party app so the API changes didn’t affect me. It was how bad they handled the whole situation that made me lose faith that reddit was going in a good direction. That thread “addressing” the changes and concerns was brutal.

I’m not an electrician but I’ve been in a similar spot. If you have non computer stuff that has a ground prong, you can replace a two prong receptacle with a 3 prong GFCI outlet and not hook up the ground. You just need to lable the outlet as “No equipment ground”. GFCI outlets generally come with these stickers since it is a common retrofit. If you hook it up right, any outlet that is GFCI protected downstream could be replaced with a 3 prong receptacle without a ground and would have to be labeled “GFCI protected” and “No equipment ground”. Even though there isn’t a ground, you are protected from electric shock by GFCI. You shouldn’t plug a computer into an outlet like that since computers use ground to filter noise from their power supply and require an equipment ground. If you need an equipment ground, you would need to talk to an electrician.

I think that’s true for the arts in general. Unless you are both extraordinary talented and are able to get lots of people to recognize that talent it’s hard to make a living in the arts. Art is a wonderful thing to be passionate about, and it is an important part of life and society despite how some people tend to downplay its value. It’s rarely stable work. There is a reason why there are tropes like the starving artist or actors waiting tables.
