If there’s no way to get to the top, how is the upward mobility “great”?

interesting, how does one become a billionaire in such a way that anyone and everyone could do it?

So basically the bit in Succession when Mattsson tells Tom he wants to fuck his wife and is looking for “a pain sponge”

Wouldn’t a kid just not understand what’s happening though? We’ve all experienced watching something again as an adult and being like “ohhhhh THAT’s what it’s about.”

And/or most kids recognize “this character is doing something bad,” even if they don’t understand the context, aren’t we just talking another satanic panic here? Like how it was false alleged CoD or D&D makes kids into serial killers.

not to mention like fucking Nestlé, Montsano, Blackrock, Northrop Grunman

yeah. 5 mins. Thats all you play. Definitely not 3 or 4 hours just disappear the moment you load it up.

In fairness I haven’t seen the show, I’m seeing a lot of parents say it’s for 13+ teens, and some say 8+.

It has swearing and jokes about sex. I was raised in a household where I couldn’t say “Damn,” “Fart,” or “Ass.” Two close friends of mine don’t care if their 6 year olds say “fuck.” And honestly, it seems like they have a closer relationship to their kids than I do to my parents (I love them and care for them, but our mode of communication is pretty formal).

Also, I was watching Urotsukidoji, Battle Angel Alita, The Guyver around 11-13 years which is probably way worse.

I mean lots of things can make things “awkward” for some people that shouldnt be banned - disabilities of all kinds, holding hands with a same sex partner, piercings/tattoos, blue hair, short skirts, farting, pregnant women, in some countries having your hair/shoulders/face/cleavage out…

Some people think kids shouldn’t be exposed to Harry Potter, D&D, rock music, seeing people drink alcohol…

I just don’t think it’s that big a deal.

It depends on the panel, but what if you don’t agree with age ratings board decisions and think it’s OK to bring your kid, shouldn’t their parent do the parenting? And why should it make anyone uncomfortable?

I mean in English it’s

Sun

Moon

Tyr (Mars)

Odin (Mercury)

Thor (Jupiter)

Freya (No roman counterpart, arguably occupies the same function as Venus)

Saturn

Automated a copywriting gig on an extremely locked down terminal entirely in Excel VBA.

It would open my email, download the list of tasks, open a browser, extract the official product copy, RegEx it into bullets, I would add a few verbs and conjunctions, hit a button it would upload it to the CMS. Turned an 8 hour day into 30 mins.

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas

A gigantic nuclear furnace

Why hydrogen is built into helium

At a temperature of millions of degrees

really a mix, pop, death metal, jazz, alt, edm… although if I need to concentrate it needs to be a song that I don’t know if it has lyrics as otherwise it’s distracting

what about the unlabeled fly

a year to work a full time job I meant.

edit: I looked it up, average - 50th percentile - is actually $79k per annum. Still not crazy money for a full time job.

pay me a marketing fee

Average pay is like 50-60k [per year] for a[n average of a] 40 hour week [job], less if you’re like social media coordinator or something. It’s not like it’s crazy money.

And why hate on people that are usually artists, writers, creatives etc spending half their life using their talents in a bland corporate way to make money to pay the bills so they can spend 10% of their life actually creating art?

Plus, everyone’s job is easy when you reduce it to simplistic terms

I can be a back end developer: just organize the data and show it on my screen. Don’t show me a login page, don’t ask for my preferences, don’t give me help articles, just organize the data

I can be a firefighter: just put out the fire, don’t ride around in a big truck, don’t slide down a pole just put out the fire.

Pretty ironic choice in a topic on unfair judges.

Isn’t part of the controversy that its questionable there was even a knife involved?

as a complete layman and hobbyist i also personally think that “more pythonic” coding can sometimes be more confusing.

I dont think any beginner reads “j for j for i in k” and instantly gets it.

maybe unpopular opinion idk

Eh. it’s start up culture. They give the C suite 50 million dollars and want 100 million dollars in 10 years and they aren’t shy about going full Gordon Ramsay on anyone not 100% dedicated to that, even if you just get paid hourly to manage social media
