That is true it is a big part of society and how to get along, and you would think that because this is one of the foundations of this society it would be a bigger part of someone’s education. This shouldn’t be something people should have to figure out on their own in order to feed themselves and their family
One semester of Schmooze 101 could go along way in helping an awkward yet brilliant scientist get the funding they need.
PBS Space Time explains it…

But I still don’t understand it
BTW use Piped for this link - just getting ahead of the Piped bot
Yeah but people and corporations would have to change and that’s too difficult instead we should do something easy like colonize another planet. /s
If I’m having a conversation with someone and they start looking at their phone while I’m talking, I just stop talking and stare at them. More than a few times I’ve been told “keep going I’m listening” I don’t, I just let them finish and only start talking again when the set the phone down.
It’s very passive aggressive but it does make the other person feel a bit uncomfortable.
yes I’ve lost hours on that game
As others have said this purchase didn’t really fuck up his overall lifestyle.
Yet when the topic of raising taxes on these people comes up they all freak out, like if they have to pay an extra 20% on their wealth they will be living on the streets.
It’s a video of a guy that falls off the edge of the world. You can hear him saying “see I was right!” as he bounces off the shell of the turtle.
Yep. I think “The Road” by Cormack McCarthy is probably the closest to what a post-apocalyptic world would look like and that shit is bleak.
The few wealthy people I’ve met, not billionaires but $100+ millionaires, seem to have a limited skill set. They have “people” to do the work. I’ve always wondered how they would fair in a post-apocalyptic world?
Personally I’d rather have those people that can MacGuyver a solution out of rubber bands and mud.
All this to say that ol’ Zuck should probably hire some good ol’ boys/girls to do his work for him or he’s screwed.
I really feel that nothing is changing because the people that have been in power for many decades set up a system the works really really well for them. Not you, not me but them.
So why would they change that?
Yes. Corporate welfare is good for the country, human welfare is bad. /s
They of course use these 2% to justify vilifying the rest though.
This is the method that is used to justify cutting welfare benefits for poor people.

I’ve been using them for years. They work off of a “add money to an account” model so you have to be willing to put money in before you buy your music. They look sketchy but never had a problem but always use Privacy.com CC just in case. The down side is the UI Sucks.
I’ve noticed that as well. Its like YouTube is adding in extra ads for Roku et al. for their own profit…
The total cost for the Afghanistan and Iraq wars was $8 Trillion over 20 years This country has the money it just doesn’t the leadership that wants to change. And why would they want to change? The way this country runs work$ well for them.
One problem is that a great deal of correct security advice contradicts “common knowledge” security practices. Password character classes – “must include capitals, lowercase, numbers, and symbols” – are a standard example. That idea got rooted in security requirements for banks and such, and it was a bad idea even then.
I don’t know a lot about computer security - but must include capitals, lowercase, numbers, etc seems like a good idea, why is it not?
but now we have a scapegoat
