Define an "actively evil" job.
Charlie@ccbaker2023
I saw so many people around me take bullshit, actively evil office jobs and make six figures right out of college — and this was nearly a decade of inflation ago. A housekeeper should make at least as much as that. Arguably more!
Berlin, Germany 🇩🇪 English
you guys have no idea, this man doesn't use GPS, and he's got a whole philosophical theory behind it

Christopher Nolan admits he’s never used email or owned a smartphone.

@Melitaalsole The only time it isn’t cheaper is if you hunt deer. One deer can see you through most of a winter but it’s very labour intensive, so cheap takes on a different meaning.
English
@Melitaalsole Wait, I could’ve sworn it said “not everyone can afford veganism”. My bad! Was on the bus when I saw it.
English
Everyone can afford veganism.
crys 🥠@iamnotcrys
@GLO_OMella because the dairy industry doesn’t talk down people who can’t afford veganism . i wish there was a more humane way of supplying ANY PRODUCE to america , but there isn’t . i have to consume meat harvested in cruelty , and she has to consume veggies harvested with human labor

@DanNeidle @XerxesBV @aunty_shirley @dodgson_sally And my analysis isn’t justification, but you must see why people feel the way they do about this, especially since Farage is a malicious grifter and Polanski seems to genuinely want the country to be better.
English
@DanNeidle @XerxesBV @aunty_shirley @dodgson_sally “Nothing to see here” regarding this £5m Farage gift thing…
It’s reminiscent of the James Comey 2016 story.
English
Its nothing to do with political inconvenience. Its literally about corruption. You have no concept of what it is to live at the other end of the consequences of these psychopaths.
Can you explain how you think anger & common decency are mutually exclusive?
English
@DanNeidle @dodgson_sally Yes, I explained that’s your ideal, I also explained why people are clashing against it. I think I’m being very plain about that.
English
@IainJamie @dodgson_sally I’m a tax lawyer. You want to discuss something else? Ask someone else.
“Experts” who pontificate on everything annoy me.
English
@DanNeidle @XerxesBV @aunty_shirley @dodgson_sally Well, if I recall you aren’t a fan of his tax policies (not sure if your a fan of reform’s) so it isn’t a stretch to think that you’d be looking after yourself by providing an “October surprise” of sorts to attack greens with. Not saying that’s the case.
English
@XerxesBV @aunty_shirley @dodgson_sally I have zero interest in discussion with someone who attacks my motives.
English
@DanNeidle @dodgson_sally With greater scrutiny than just the tax angle — something comparable to investigating Polanski by ostensibly calling a local dry cleaner to establish residence — so having not much to say about such blatant corruption on the reform side seems irresponsible and bizarre
English
@DanNeidle @dodgson_sally I think people expected more than the tax angle on what is obvious corruption. There’s a clash in ideals: yours is to stick to your role and expertise and that is tax — but people expected the holistic and human lens of pointing out the corruption of that £5m

@ActivismEnjoyer @Felix1312953 @Jimbob575561 @TheLaurenChen Well, it wouldn’t be two plates of pasta but generally the portions would be made so you can go over all those different macros… and 30 dollars a day on lunch is crazy but that’s not quite what he said. Another point: those pasta dishes above are INSANELY expensive, not cheap
English
@IainJamie @Felix1312953 @Jimbob575561 @TheLaurenChen All I'm saying is you don't have to order two plates of pasta because of the traditional Italian meal structure. Also the billionaire is correct that spending 30 dollars a day on luncb is crazy.
English
Why are restaurants so expensive in the West?
I'm honestly asking.
In Asia people eat out almost every day, there are options cheaper than cooking for yourself.
But even "street food" is expensive here.
I paid $17 for 4 tacos out of a truck from a guy who spoke no English.

Kevin O’Leary says Gen Z is financially cooked when people making $70K a year are spending $28 on lunch
English
@genzdivorceddad @dieworkwear The widest chasm genetically and culturally between an Afghan or Somali and I is narrower than the ideological gap between you and I.
English
@dieworkwear “Immigration of culturally, geographically, and genetically somewhat similar people who had an in demand trade skill worked out in the end, even though it caused social conflict for a long time. This means you need to allow millions of Somalis and Afghans in”
English
amusing since french huguenots experienced xenophobia upon arrival. since huguenots were weavers, english weavers protested them, fearing they'd take jobs and housing, as well as create public disorder. but over time, the huguenots improved the UK textile industry, adding jobs

What does it mean to be ethnically English?
English
@Finch__Hatton @1followernodad Red-hot life experience isn’t going to be in the “west”
English
@1followernodad Are the creative professions prepared to admit people with red-hot life experience but a lack formal training?
They used to be, to a degree. I get the sense this is not as much the case anymore.
English
for lots of reasons, there seem to be fewer people of experience getting creative jobs and more people whose world is built from consumption
Maia@maiamindel
basically every form of anything has that problem, the simpsons is now written by people whose only background is in watching the simpsons, snl with snl, star wars with star wars, pop music with pop music
English
@1followernodad @BrndnStrssng Or, wrong platform.
Everyone with a creative bone is ditching publishing and old media to be able to do what they consume — skits and reels on social media, chasing money and being shaped by the algorithm.
