I somewhat disagree.
Music seems like it’s followed a similar trajectory of most things where it’s become more centralized and mass marketed. Music has to appeal to the masses for studios to pick it up. So there is an incentive to find music that appeals to the most people and turns off the fewest.
Similarly, you have a handful of studios telling you what is “good” and pushing it. Even if it isn’t great, it’s good enough that people listen and then they can create the hype behind it where it might not organically exist.
Some music bubbles up organically from independent artists but quite a bit is mass marketed and produced by big studios. And they have the money so they can choke out smaller artists.
And that seems entirely reasonable to me. Unless I am missing something
Maybe I’m just tired or being dense but I have no idea what you are referring to in the post.
I was interested in hearing his/her opinion because I enjoyed reading his comment and it sounded like theyd thought about this a decent amount.
In your opinion what are those uncomfortable truths?
Oh umm. I would never make my password this…
I think if you do allow 8 character passwords the only stipulation is that you check it against known compromised password lists. Again, pretty reasonable.
School is usually cancelled because the schools are often polling locations.
It makes it all the more dumb to not have it as a national holiday.
People get annoyed that “people hire their friends”, but the reality is, when you have a sea of random people all lying in various forms on resumes, HR on job postings, etc it’s so much easier and usually better for a company to have ‘vetted’ candidates proposed by current employees. Ie networking.
It’s still the best way to get a job even with all of this fancy HR algorithm bs.
More like: big money and corporate lobbying is ruining democracy. These are just the big boys.
Just love each other. Problem solved
I’m not being flippant but how else would or should I control my smart plugs and lights? Or set a timer with a voice command? Get my devices set up for “movie time” or control music ?
I paid for the Mycroft and that was a flop and they are now out of business.
Using an app is kind of a shitty interface for that type of thing. Even if I managed to do the rain dance to get home assistant up and running with my stuff…
I grew up in a religious household. My parents made me go to church and youth group until about 16-17 when I pushed back (still had to go to church but not youth group).
I was always more skeptical of it all. Even as a kid I remember having these “wtf, that doesn’t make sense. So dinosaurs were…on the ark?”
Anyway, after a couple decades of separation from it all you realize how absolutely bonkers religion is. The amount of mental backflips you need to make for it to make even a little sense is borderline insanity.
It’s crazy how otherwise very intelligent people just…go with it and never challenge it. Then will fight with you if you challenge it.
I feel like you all are misplaying your hands. Find contractors that work for the govt.
They can bill the govt much higher rates because you have a PhD. They don’t have to pay you the extra. You could literally tell them that. Pay me at a junior rate and keep the difference until I prove I’m worth more.
You’d be straight revenue/profit for them. and it gets your foot in the door and you start getting actual experience.
The only response to that should have been a “too soooon!” Followed by uproarus laughter
That’s a hilarious retort imo.
Sometimes I wonder how people get away with stuff like this. I recall that story from Spain, I think, where a guy was getting a paycheck for like 20 years but not working at all. I guess they did a reorg and his new ‘boss’ didn’t know about him and he never got work assigned and he just stopped showing up…for years.
It has to be a pointless job to start with, right? If I just didn’t work at my job for a week it would probably get noticed. If I no-showed completely it certainly would.
I’d probably be given the benefit of the doubt for a few weeks if I just stopped producing work. I could maybe make it a month before someone said something about my performance but only because sometimes the things I work on take a while to come to fruition. And missing meetings isn’t uncommon because of conflicts/being super busy.
Id probably also get the benefit of the doubt if I no-showed too. But after a two days they’d call my wife or come by my house, or send the police department to my house to check on me.
This just seems like something everyone does. Is this an ADHD symptom?
This is some real MAGA Republican energy. She lost. It was illegitimate. It wasn’t corrupt.
Just let’s not let it happen again.
I literally couldn’t pass one for something I needed to access.
I had to switch to the audio thing eventually and it took me multiple tries with that. I should just write a script that uses a fucking bot next time.
