What job would you guys have if you lived in the middle ages?? I think I would be deputy manger of vertical integration for a small cathedral in the west of Flanders

@SchrodingrsBrat What are these companies that offer someone a 300k a year job, and then see the most boring selfie ever and decide to rescind the offer?

The game of turning your life into a capital-generating soul-enriching art plays by completely different rules than the one that speaks of work life balance and comp

Young people massively underestimate how their public social media can kill high-paying job offers I have personally seen 5 offer letters pulled in NY over social media content. All were 300k plus total comp roles. Real cases If you are aiming for 85k forever, you are probably fine If you want bigger things, read this

@tonyannett As an economist you really should be able to see that companies being financed is actually value creating.

No hedge fund mogul produces anything of value. It’s pure extraction.

Bill Ackman doesn’t produce anything of value except hot air. Having money does not tell you anything about how that person made the money and whether it was actually helpful for their country.

Based on appearance alone, who would your choice out of any current actress to play Helen of Troy if you made a film today?

Serious question.
We have an entire corporate class making $150k a year whose only actual job is to sit in meetings and ask "what is the status on this?"
But if one guy with Claude can now finish a 2-week project in an afternoon...
Why haven't companies laid off the entire middle layer yet?

@Nithya_Shrii So everyone should own a house? No renters? Or if you do want renters, the owners of the apartment should be your roommate?
English
Until everyone is housed, no one should own multiple homes.

I told you guys the CIA wormholed that plane twelve years ago.
People mocked me for years for even suggesting that possibility, but it is true.
That's why the deep state is afraid of the UFO files being revealed.
Obama type shit

@Dashytwo Probably all the more reason for the owners to replace you with R2D2

@tanujDE3180 Please convince your friends and family to do the same. They also want to feel alive!

I lived in Germany for 6 years.
> Clean roads
> Better work-life balance
> Peaceful life
> Predictable systems
But I still returned to India.
> Yes, India has traffic
> Pollution
> Noise
> Chaos
> Endless crowds
> & n number of other problems
And I won’t deny, sometimes I still feel like going back.
But India also has something hard to explain:
> energy
> emotions
> family
> festivals
> spontaneity
> and a feeling that life is happening around you
Sometimes comfort is not enough
You also want to feel alive

• Zero debt
But he wants to buy a $65k car
He says “I have to enjoy my life”
What would you tell him?

@vinovdemocratie @SinterklaasES Snap je punt maar met obscure films of tv films was dit in t tijdperk van de VHS niet heel anders

Ik probeer een film uit 2008 te vinden. Hij is nergens te streamen, nergens te koop. Ik heb alle producenten en productiemaatschappijen gemaild en niemand heeft hem nog in het archief. Het is fucking ongelofelijk. Ik haat copyright. De enige reden dat we Nosferatu en Metropolis, de grootste films uit het stille tijdperk, nog hebben, is omdat iemand ze ooit illegaal heeft overgezet op een eigen filmrol in de jaren twintig. Alle illegale streaming websites uit rond 2008 zijn inmiddels geraid door de FBI. Maar goed, mooi dat je op Netflix The Avengers Age of Ultron kan kijken of Birdbox
Jerry Bordeaux@vinovdemocratie
Door het gevecht tegen piracy zijn heel veel kleinere films nergens meer te vinden, ook niet op de streamingsdiensten, omdat het steeds minder zin heeft om impopulaire films te uploaden.

@OrevaZSN Wow so powerful. But the truth is, a lot of people can do the same job and that’s why it doesn’t pay that much, because they’re replaceable. No grand conspiracy. If I can do a thing nobody else can, and someone needs me to do that thing, I get paid what I want!

Dutch socialists actually do this and i kind of respect it.
They've also lost the last 10 elections

Party leadership of Die Linke wants to mandate that party MPs keep only €2,850 Euros of their monthly Bundestag salaries & donate the rest to charity & social projects. The rank-and-file are in revolt over these plans to impose this real actual socialism upon themselves.

@ShofuBeatdown Wait are you ashanti? If so than you are descended from slave traders my friend. I demand reparations!

@Forty1_0 Armenian. She looked Armenian. This erasure is so weird. y’all call everyone living in the middle east Arab and it’s so disgusting. Is education illegal where you live? You can simply say she looked middle eastern. Arab colonialism isn’t talked about enough I see.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: i miss when she looked a bit arab
