What interests me is that I've never once heard an actual explanation. "They're doing drag" might be true in an analytical sense from an outside perspective. But it's not the reason they do it.
One would assume the reason you start is because you're encouraged to get some Botox and subtle touch-ups are a very beauty trend among women. But they all end up with very similar features and it's always overdone. So there must be common pushes and pulls. I would just like to hear it in their own words what has led them to this.
This model does assume the big bang happened in a spheroid pattern. It's just flattened to add time as an axis from left to right cause you couldn't represent time otherwise.
But it does take money away in other ways. I use GIMP for work which could easily pay for Adobe if I asked them. We just don't need to since we aren't doing any high-demand tasks.
Unfortunately it won't pop for another couple years at least. It will only pop when investors start asking for a return and for the stupidest of reasons they're all content to think that returns won't happen for 5-10 years after their investments.
Unfortunately for them it won't ever happen but the amount of faith they're putting into it will mean we'll be saturated with AI for years until someone realizes they have no hope of making enough money to reimburse the cost.
That's fucked I've been thinking I'm a good boy shutting down my computer whenever I don't need to use it to ensure that I don't get any slow down. Why on earth would you name it "shut down" at that point?
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.
Yeah. I wasn't saying people aren't capable of not wanting kids. This was mostly as an explanation of the phenomenon of people saying they didn't think they wanted kids until they had 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.
One major difference is our genetic wiring. You'll find that many many people with kids you meet say "I was pretty sure I didn't want kids, but once you have them you wonder why you ever thought you wouldn't want them."
So the answer is yeah, if you did have kids you would probably not regret it. It's just one of like the only 3 things we evolved to do as human beings, your body gives you really strong incentives to take care of your kids.
But if you never have kids you can also not regret it and both can be true.
Christ, what was the thought process? "Hey, only a small fraction of the population wears necklaces regularly. What on fucking earth should we make our flagship product that is meant to appeal to as many people as possible?"
My point with that comparison is precisely that. That child of doctors is a result of a type of nepotism and they are much more likely to make it in the medical field than a child who may be intrinsically smarter than them but did not have the advantage of having parents who instilled that passion to become a doctor and educated them for the profession at an early age.
I edited the post to further acknowledge that I'm not talking about the advantage of parents being connected in the industry. Which I mention in the first paragraph of my post. It's a larger problem in the entertainment industry than most because that industry is so cut-throat and competitive and frankly because more than most industries mediocre talent can be mitigated by the dozens of other people working with them to make the product, not to mention the ability of marketing to exalt people who might not deserve it. Rereading your post it seems you were responding exclusively to that which I thought was pretty clearly not the subject of my post.
I was simply acknowledging the fact that things like passion, obsession, and talent are all things that are heavily influenced by parents. Kid A could be intrinsically worse at music than Kid B (for as much as we know about nature vs nurture) but if Kid A has musician parents who encourage lessons, or even teach the kid themselves from a very young age and Kid B only discovers their passion on their own in high school or later. Kid A will probably always be a better musician due to a form of nepotism.
While I agree that that's existentially unfair, and maybe we can create a world where all children are given identical education so that we only get the best of the best in every field, I think it's a bit wack to say Kid A doesn't deserve to express their art or even outshine Kid B because they tragically grew up in a music-obsessed family.
