The fewer people drive, the better.
I saw someone hit a kid on a bike by Atlantic terminal, and they just drove off. Luckily the kid was fine, because I guess teenagers are indestructible and the car wasn’t going that fast. But that reckless asshole needs consequences.
These people in the Entertainment Business would rather destroy a business than pay people.
Capitalism.
Friend of mine told me his boss said he’d rather burn the place to the ground than let the workers unionize.
So far as I know, that boss never suffered any personal violence, despite treating everyone like shit.
My impression is a lot of the people in the hiring pipeline are bad at this job. Maybe they’re good at other parts of their job, but not hiring. Especially not the recruiters who aren’t themselves technical
Not going to watch a video, but yeah, title checks out. I think Jane Jacobs covered this in the 60s, probably in “death and life of great American cities”
“oh, don’t worry, it was dead before I started”
Musk is a sack of shit that doesn’t deserve nice things. I hope he, as the saying goes, dies mad about this.
Just read people’s history by Howard zinn and that’ll radicalize a lot of people. It’s just the rich fucking everyone over and over.
the reaction I’ve gotten from many of my family members and friends is that choosing to study abroad as an American is inherently a downgrade, regardless of the university or country
That’s insane. Pure emotional slop not based in any facts.
You’re not casually going to convince them otherwise. Facts don’t matter. Here, read this: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe
I feel like the sentence is trying to communicate
This relies on some illusionary filling in the gaps.
I don’t think I have any subscriptions, unless you count like phone/Internet. There’s plenty of entertainment for free or cheap. check out your local library.
We’re never going to get most people to care or be willing to be a little uncomfortable, but can you imagine the impact if everyone just canceled their subscriptions all at once? Disney executives would be jumping out windows. Youtube’s office would be blood soaked.
That’s a few decades put together into one list
Sure, like King Gizzard left spotify and put their music on bandcamp. They got some press about it. Some of my friends went to bandcamp to get their music, even. But the vast majority of people still just use spotify. People don’t care about things, especially if it would be inconvenient.
It’s still good to get people off private platforms.
I think it applies differently to famous, rich, figures who already have an audience. They could loudly announce they’re leaving facebook. A chunk of their fans would follow. They’re already rich, they can tank losing some fans. It would be better for everyone to get people off Facebook platforms and onto open ones.
Some local band that’s struggling to get their first EP out I could maybe cut some slack on going to where the people are.
I don’t do any banking via an app. It’s only from my desktop, never my phone. If they required an app, I’d change banks.
Seems obvious, but I guess it’s good to have more support.
First of all, fuck the rich. Fuck mergers. These megacorps need to be split apart, and their wealth returned to the workers who built them.
Second of all
“In text messages to Californians that went out earlier this week, Neighbors for Strong Communities asked recipients to send Bonta messages raising the concern that his opposition to the merger will cost the state thousands of jobs — because of Ellison’s reported threat to move Paramount to Texas.”
Don’t give in to fucking threats.
Blue sky was never going to be good. It’s like being surprised that the fresh mountain of shit is collecting flies.
If there was karma, this shithead would get run over by a car.
Cool. Adams really was a piece of shit.
Side rage: I really doubt what’s his face is actually doing any meaningful r&d work. I assume there’s a legion of nameless engineers and researchers who are not keeping the profits of their work.
