I’m mostly half-serious.

You should write on an unsettled question that interests you enough to keep your interest for a long time. If you don’t have a clue what this is, then I recommend you do some literature review. Research is not done in a vacuum. Once you know what conversations people are having, then you can see where your perspective can make a valuable contribution.
Shit like this makes people go back to reddit. At least there’s more content and getting banned from one million user subreddit doesn’t stop you from going to another big sub. Here, if you get banned in one or two of the big instances you have to become a lurker. I take pride in being able to disagree with the dominant opinion in a reasonable way, but these .ml mods are unreasonable.
True, but reddit is better for niche interests. For example, we don’t seem to have any serious philosophy or history communities here. (I am happy to be wrong here, someone please let me know.) On the other hand, r/askphilosophy and r/askhistorians regularly get interesting questions answered by actual professionals.
I’m going to go with good old fashioned, “extra luck”. Never know when it’s going to show up, but it would definitely improve your general disposition when things tend to go your way.
There’s a large possibility that your kids will be apathetic towards the media that you watch now. When’s the last time you listened to a song or watched tv from the 50?
(I can hear you typing right now; yes, I myself even watch the Adams Family and listen to psychedelic rock every now and again, but that’s not typical.)
Conversations with Tyler. An academic asks interesting people (often prolific academics in other fields) personal and professional questions. One that I keep going back to is Professor Dunlap’s explanation of Chinese cuisine while a panel of foodies ask her questions at the dinner table: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onWbXaRFge0
