I think it's also different how much of a show it is. If your concert is mostly just you with a guitar and a mic, then it's easy to just load that up and stay somewhere for as long as needed, and it's easier to find smaller v

I'm not sure if it's so much resentment as an implicit rewriting of the contract of employment. If I'm contracted for 40 hours a week, but the only people being promoted are the ones who "voluntarily" work 80 hours

She's always going to have a monopoly on being Taylor Swift . Sure, you may also like some other musician, but it's not like you can just drop in replace her with a different singer. Art is, somewhat by definition, a monopoly. Th

What percentage of the population even thinks about "tech stacks"? That's the group of people who probably already is using something else. Everyone else is still catching up to not having a password that's just "pa

Waterproof bags have existed for centuries - waxed fabrics, well-treated leathers, and I'm sure plenty of more modern textiles. Or just put a plastic/metal box on the side/back of your bike and use it exactly like you do the

Though I often have questions about how that works in terms of managing your domain. I feel like I shouldn't have the account I manage my domains with tied to an email address at the domain that's under management. If my email pro

Yea, specifically that prop-bet bingo cards are usually constructed that every line you could make includes some rare thing so that you don't just easily win with 5 obvious things. So if something happens that's "not even on

Sure, but if you see a piece of art with no context for its creation, you have no way to know what the artist intended to communicate or if they intended to communicate anything at all, or if there was even a human artist involved. I'm

I feel like OP is almost claiming the opposite. Art isn't clearly defined - there's no "correct art". Therefore whether you prefer art generated by an AI to art generated by a human artist is, within some margin in a bli

There's a lot of folks who clearly put "this is a parody" in every one of their "I'm Elon Musk" tweets and got banned and are still banned. He's kept redefining "clearly indicated" but only after

I could certainly see that on the margins, but not to the level of "we haven't had any sexual contact in a year". If the survey was "have you had sex in the last week" then I'd totally accept that social media

That wasn't exactly what I was implying - more that it's now more socially acceptable to spend your teens and twenties focusing on things other than finding a partner and getting ready to have kids. I know plenty of people who di

That quote doesn't mention social media? It mentions computer games as a possible explanation, and then explicitly says none of the things listed is a complete explanation. The article speculates that social media may be related, but w

Sure - I understand that case for general social loneliness, but I have a hard time believing that replaces any form of sexual contact, even solo. I can also see a reasonable case for social media leading to less lasting relationships, but

I'm really not sure of this. I know plenty of very sexually active people who are much more active on social media and the like than I'd say is average. If anything, the more lonely/single people I know are the ones who spend

My guess would be the decay of the "traditional values" life path for a number of reasons. There's just much less of an assumption that you'll be married in your 20s and have kids before 30 than there was 50 years ago. T

I'm curious what you think the relation is to the topic here? I don't disagree, but there's a lot of potential options for how social media could relate to people's sexual activity, so I'm curious which one you feel

"They've spent too much money to be out of money" is a really weird read of how money works.

There's been a ton of innovation in that space recently, and I'm seeing a lot of bars and breweries starting to carry N/A options now. Athletic Brewing is doing a lot of stuff in the US that I see around. There's also a

But do almost any of the OP's complaints actually help with stopping that? Do fraudsters and the unqualified not have references and form-filling capabilities? I get that there's problems these things are trying to solve, but it d

Does anyone ever read a cover letter? In all my years of being an interviewer, HR has never once given me a cover letter along with the resume of the person I'm interviewing. I just assumed cover letters went straight to the trash beca

If the 5 minute form got me a job, sure. But it's a 5 minute form to chuck a bunch of my personal information into a black hole where, most likely, I'll never hear anything, or will get a form letter back in two weeks telling me t

Isn't this essentially what Hired does? I've actually had decent luck with them in the past.

Or they think this situation and the "normal hiring processes" are stupid for everyone? The fact that all this redundant work, manual data entry, and hoop-jumping is the status quo doesn't make it good or fair or reasonable.

I don't think you're wrong, but I do want to push back against this sort of bribery being entirely illegitimate as a signal in business. There's absolutely something to be said for a company partner that cares enough to know

Yea, definitely depends on the industry, but even at that point, just a very nice note thanking the implementation team feels good.
