If these workers could get remote jobs, they would- but they can’t. Amazon knows this, and probably can’t wait for them to quit. For now all they can do is complain about having to go to an office to be a spoiled, overpaid tech worker. If I

And 199$ is already an insanely good deal for what you get.

My garden level apartment was destroyed by flooding on December 23 of 2020. Homeless in Seattle with a wife, a kid, and two dogs and two cats for Christmas. To this day I have ptsd when it rains hard, particularly around Christmas. Now I li

I would only add to this: try it without podcasts and music. Let your mind go somewhere else.

Cue the requisite hacker news hurfing and durfing about how this is actually good due to being introverted.

Oh ok. So one person(maybe) at the Washington Post. I guess you’re technically correct.

You’ve got me all wrong- surely you would agree there is a difference between arts and crafts… right?

And yet if you don’t have an audience, what is the point? Even the most outsider artists managed to gather a following some way or the other. It isn’t just happenstance.

You’ve read too much into what I’ve said and taken too much offense. Text is hard so I don’t blame you. “retiring and doing art” is an absurdly simplistic path to point someone towards and it’s not helpful to anyone who wants to actually cr

That is very cool about Cezanne, but I suspect he is one of the outsiders I am referring to.

I don’t care.

by tjr225 4y ago
I try not to be presumptuous- as I honestly have no idea what art is because I’m too old to keep up- so maybe you can give me some examples that buck the trend? If not I’ll just assume you’re offended because you’re old. And honestly, if yo

The problem is that by the time you are retired you are most likely so unplugged from the cultural zeitgeist that fuels art that you can’t possibly be good at it. You can’t possibly create anything meaningful that would speak to people who

Its a gosh darn good thing we don't implement policy based on things that ClumsyPilot has heard about!

It is really bizarre the way that the aggregate/news/post/tweet + comment section + upvote/downvote format that is pervasive on the current internet creates an incentive for people not to talk to each other, but to just

WebEx does exactly the same thing as any of the other video chat clients. At least it did the last time I used it.

Ok but I’m not raging, I just don’t know why I should care about any of this in spite of it being shoved into my face 24/7 for weeks at a time???

Unfortunately I agree with you. Nobody is going to pay for a screaming match, though. The fact that it was free is the only reason we’re here. Maybe this will shake out just fine anyway.

I dislike Elon Musk as much as the next guy but why are people upset about Twitter burning to the ground? It’s just another paint brush used to paint the downfall of our society. Good riddance. I hope Elon goes under with them. This is a pl

Short tenure has always resulted in me getting massive raises by moving around. I’m not saying that’s always the case, but when my wife and I were 80k in the hole with student loans, wanted a house and a kid, I’ll just take whatever recruit

We all got to see what life would be life if we put our entire existence on the internet. What we built does not make the world a better place.

Worst crime I ever experienced was in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Nobody gives a shit though because it’s Kalamazoo, Michigan.
