Happy to address any counterarguments from the multiple downvoters.

As someone subjected to both of these actions, plus expulsion, in lieu of anybody bothering to try and figure out what was wrong, that certainly rings true. However, people just really really love a) nostalgia, b) validating their compulsio

> We don't hold kids back anymore and we don't suspend kids anymore. Does that contradict real data that shows holding kids back and suspending them makes them more successful?

Bands with the clout and fans lined up down the block the day before ticket sales open (e.g. Radiohead, The Cure, Pearl Jam) can do these things, and I'm glad they do. For the vast majority of acts– even well-known ones– it's abso

And this is another area they're part of the problem. Not only do they have a resale platform, they've also been caught placing tickets directly on the resale market. https://pitchfork.com/news/live-nation-adm

Your criticism would be no different leveled at donating to charity, giving loose change to someone on the street, dropping money on a collection plate, or using the "buy me a coffee" tip like for FOSS projects. What's not re

Well, your individual dollars don't buy access to a controlled resource, but people in general contributing certainly does. That streamer would definitely do something else if there was no income coming in. The younger generations seem

With gambling, that dopamine rush and crash is pretty intense, so I can wrap my head around that. That TikTok, Twitter or even Facebook leverage the same reaction to keep people glued to their phones consuming bullshit that they otherwise w

People seem to enjoy that we've been enhancing dead celebrities by digitally digging them up and making them dance for us on stage, so why not? Beyond that, why stop at colorization? Maybe there's other artistic decisions we could

Right. That director almost certainly chose that particular film because that particular grain lent the film the vibe they were looking for. Directors always look for ways to implement their artistic vision within the bounds of the medium,

Yeah I've had my fair share of big city traffic, but this is very different. In many ways driving here is a lot easier than driving in a place like downtown Chicago or Manhattan because it's much much much lower-volume, so there

In this city, even at 3:30 in the morning on Sunday, cruise control is just useless. It's a spaghetti pile of twisty roads and a billion intersections. Even on the major thoroughfares, you're not going to drive more than 20 second

The traffic is not frequently caused by accidents. It's a small city so it's pretty clear when that happens. We have some of the lowest accident stats in the country. It's probably because any time there are a significant num

Like I said, since the author made it for themselves, it's successful if they like it. But as a former chef with an art degree that tertiarily included both sculpture and interior design, I disagree that the decorative component of thi

The majority of the roads that aren't highways do not have lanes. The road layout is largely from a hundred or two years before cars existed.

Even if the length of the cars end-to-end is often greater than the length of craggy narrow street between tightly packed but unevenly placed intersections with anywhere from 3 to 8 entry points? Even when all of the 5 highways people are t

I live in a cramped east coast city. If everyone around here followed the DMV guidelines for distance between cars, morning rush hour would probably be from 4am to 11am. Sure, the fact that everyone's driving in such a tiny little spac

Quickly looking at the course that was initially mentioned, it doesn’t look like they force you to go faster than you want, but for $200/mo I imagine learners tend to push themselves too much, too quickly, so they can stop paying ASAP.

Few places is that truer than in libraries. I worked in that world for quite some time. Many people are astonished to find out how many books libraries pulp. Periodicals? Forget it. Space, preservation budgets, cataloging resources, and any

So glad it helped! Random bits: The preponderance of folks in art are really happy to answer questions and offer critique, so don’t feel weird about asking. To some extent, we’re all perpetually beginners if we’re doing it right because the

Firstly, online learning is not for everybody. Seriously. Not having in-person accountability can be a huge problem for some people. Taking individual art lessons or drawing classes locally might be a good way to go. These skills aren'

Yes, yes, yes, all of that. As an aside, I really wish the tech crowd at large understood that physically crafting the end product is neither the hardest nor the most important part in the creative process. I think that knowledge being more

In most cases would be harder when making 6 figures, though that probably depends on the font size. I don't see how student loans play into this.

I'm not an art educator, but I am a fairly recent graduate from art school, and am familiar with the curricula of other art programs-- and that's the perspective that I'm speaking from. YMMV of course. Reasoning about objects
