If you enjoy your current job, then you could go for the higher education that’s the extension of that. (Even if it’s like chef or bartender there are qualifications and education you can attain that get you paid more).
If you make your own schedule and it’s not a “work 60 hours a week” kind of make your own schedule then you have lucked out. There is no price you can put on free time and freedom.
Sorry I should have clarified that the type of ads this meme is talking about (i.e banner ads and spot ads) don’t work, and yet we have more than ever before. We know this because it’s demonstrable that you need more capital than ever and more ad time than ever to see equivalent returns.
If a company really wants to sell their product they do tie-in deals with personalities or commission news stories to be laundered for them.
It’s because ads don’t work on people anymore. You need hundreds to thousands of views on an ad to get a handful of click-throughs. Companies don’t know what to do anymore because advertising is really the only concept that makes sense to them.
Also ads are a form of soft power. Companies spend millions/billions of dollars on YouTube/twitch etc. to threaten creators with “demonetization” if they step too far out of line when they criticize the wrong people.
“but some day I might! And then people like me better watch their step!”
Hate my job? No. I actually love my job. It’s an amazing first step in my career and I plan on being here for many years. It’s engaging, it’s creative, it’s building my skills, it’s a casual environment, and I’m friends with my co-workers and my boss.
But I’m only at my job because I need to make money. I have lots and lots and lots of stuff to do with my free time. I want to travel, and play video games at the most base level, but I also have my own creative hobbies which, while I love my job, I would rather dedicate my days to. I only have so much free time in my life.
So the only reason I have this job that I love is because I need money to live. Sorry job, I’m just not that into you.
Ironically you need therapy in order to go to therapy. If someone has issues with overthinking, anxiety about interacting with people, stress/anger issues, depression that makes them unmotivated of course it’s going to be hard to go to a stranger they’re expected to be their most vulnerable with.
I think the thing that would be the most productive would be to start a project you’ve been waiting to work on or something that might make you money. Either studying something you’ve always wanted to do or programming/writing something you’ve always wanted to write.
With 40hrs of paid time you could write whatever you’d like and it doesn’t really matter if it pays off or not so you’re not pressured to compromise on it. But if it does pay off then you’re that much closer to an early retirement or the ability to take more control of your time by working on the thing you want to do.
If you’re happy where you are then yeah. Read a book, play some games etc.
That’s probably why they’re desperate for no call offs. In this day a million dollar company still feels like it’s constantly on the edge of collapse. No pity for jenny though, if you can’t manage around your workforce taking time off during the holidays that’s bad management.
I always thought this was a joke but I knew a girl who dated a guy who wouldn’t fully clean his ass in the shower because he thought getting his finger anywhere near his butthole was gay.
I have a hard time even comprehending the thought process.
Government and bureaucracy is the duct tape and glue we made to hold society together but actual societal change is a more natural force that is completely separate from government.
Sorry, but it’s more like a crab apple.
It looks like an apple, it’s presented like an apple, it’s advertised like an apple because that is what makes the YouTuber money. But scientific methods and standards exist for a reason. It’s very easy to produce bad data and especially easy to extract bad conclusions from data if you have an incentive to do so (such as a fan base who might engage with the video less if the conclusions were against their expectations)
There’s a chance that this guy’s conclusions reflect what a proper study might have found, but it’s just too hard to tell if it’s a crab apple or not it’s essentially probably a little better than chance.
This is so true. I always point out to people: think of all the couples you know. How did they meet? Personally I don’t know any two couples that met the same way. It ranges from being housemates in college to finding out they lived in the same city from some internet forum.
Laguette de la botte is definitely a dish I would try at a French restaurant

Blades in the dark and other forged in the dark systems are famous for being an early breakout in RPG game design. I’ve run a blades in the dark campaign and it was awesome.
Check out the YouTube channel “Quinns Quest” and I’m confident you can comfortably try any game he has reviewed to get a better roleplaying experience than D&D.
Maybe people should just stop playing D&D. It’s a game mired in ancient game design and forced through a cheese grater of updates over the years to try and make it OK.
Also it’s owned by Hasbro.
There are dozens of better role playing games. Some identical to D&D with better rules, others excellent with imaginative worlds that aren’t just rehashes of lord of the rings and Arthurian legends.
Yeah for real, what does this mean exactly? All forms of machine learning? That’s a lot of computers at this moment, it’s just we only colloquially call the chat bot versions “AI”. But even that gets vague do reactive video game NPCs get counted as “AI?” Or all of our search algorithms and spell check programs?
At that point what’s the point? The disclosure would become as meaningless as websites asking for cookies or the number of things known to cause cancer in the state of California.
I think the point is it doesn’t prevent wide spread use. If a plant resists cultivation then it’s not worth it to try to farm, either industrially or in your back yard. Especially if you’re trying to farm for sustenance.
Yeah, you can’t just lay down electricity, especially not practical electricity it requires a ton of diverse knowledge from many different studies. What I would do is give them the concept of using steam to power to spin wheels or create an engine. Then use gear ratios to show them how to scale it up. Idk if they had found neodymium magnets back then, but teach them how to use them to heat iron by spinning them on the end of a steam engine and you’re starting to cook with electricity.
Again, getting to electricity from there is still a whole fucking chore. But hopefully you could rely on science to advance way faster from your advances than if you weren’t there.
Actually, the most important thing you could give the greeks is the concept of the modern scientific method. That shit was invented so late and just skyrocketed science (literally) the moment it was refined.
Just write a book about everything you remember about a null hypothesis, randomized blind trials, control experiments, variable control etc. if you can squeeze any bit of statistics out of your brain, even if it’s just making a graph, you probably advance the world by thousands of years.
Easy, spite.
