A hundred percent, but the fact remains that journalists have a very hard time supporting themselves in their profession. A job that is critical (when done well) to an informed public.
It must be depressing knowing you could just take a TypeScript React bootcamp and probably double salary in a year. Like, journos have an important job. It’s just not lucrative, despite its value to people/society.
I think you touch it to different things and see what happens, if I remember my absurdists.
20 😞
That’s the petrolarchy speaking 😞
First time with one of these? They are pretty cool, yeah
Is this a Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell reference? https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jonathan_Strange_and_Mr._Norrell
This is the most judgey comma I’ve seen in a while. Very well done
I’ve taken to saying “uhhhhhh” with a stupid expression on my face until I’ve processed the sounds / their meaning
I think you’re fine because this sounds totally normal to me
This mental checklist of things that point to me having adhd is growing uncomfortably large. Is there anything that can point to someone not having adhd?
Legitimately, when I was quitting nicotine, I would scroll on my phone when I was getting withdrawal pangs, and it helped.
Nowadays I have to watch myself, or else I’ll potentially lose hours. I know exactly what addiction feels like: going without and satisfying what feels like a need - it feels right. And these apps are definitely addictive. I didn’t really notice until I tried to stop.
I felt this way with instagram. My phone can barely handle the web app and you can’t even replay the video without an account. Truly garbage UX
They thought the party was going to last forever, so they ordered a bunch of jumbo pizzas and kegs
I mean it’s more like they paid themselves a bunch of bonuses and hired super duper growth hacking experts or whatever, and now they can’t pay for them, so god forbid they cut from the top
I’m pretty sure they have other, worse reasons.
I also chuckled.
This person is correct. Land and the natural process of nature are free gifts.
Close. Farming is labour, which is what gives economic value to the free gifts. The capitalists skim excess value from this process in the form of wage theft and other fuckery.
I’m simplifying, but yeah.
Hell yeah, this is the free gifts of nature in a nutshell.
[…] the “free gift of Nature to capital.” Capitalist exploitation and accumulation, as Marx explains, ultimately depend on capital’s usurping of nature’s gifts for itself, thereby monopolizing the means of production and wealth in its entirety
Probably better sources, but this is the first best one I found.
I went to college the S curves, as well as one office briefly before the pandemic, but they were both off the “main drag” by a bit. Like along a hallway that didn’t have people just sitting nearby.
As is eternally the case, location matters
Gross lol
