I read this about 2 hours ago and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Growing up in a Latino/Black community and being of mixed heritage, it was never socially easy. My parents divorced, so I'd spend half the year with my dad - w

I often see arguments like these that basically go "well if only some extraneous event would have gone slightly differently said person would not have had to resort to this". The propensity to lay blame to pathetically extraneous phenomena,

Sounds pretty cool. Mind sharing what your typical day as a freelancer is like? By the way, are you from the Philippines or do you just live there?

Thanks for the heads up. How slow are we talking here? And is ssh 100% necessary all the time? or only when it's time to push to production? Sorry if these seem like pedestrian questions; I've never done freelance work before, so I need to

I don't know if you even read the post fully, but the post was about the hype of Elon Musk's personal life, not the hype of personal life. And yes for the most part, it is. The reality is he's a busy man, with a busy life, anyone who thinks

Yeah, it is fairly rare. I think it's because , to some degree,people try really hard to make families conform to a certain idea of family life, so you get a lot of noise like "can you have it all?" - what exactly does that even mean? - or

I think people who hype on and on about his personal life are just grasping at straws to mask their own insecurities. As someone who grew up not spending that cliched ooey gooey version of "family time" that we always see on television and

I couldn't help but detect a certain level of bourgeois elitism in the article, which in some part is why the rift is large as they claim, but in a larger sense, is why the rift is as large as they claim. That may seem a bit confusing to re

where exactly does he allude to "nerds" mandatorily being interested in "nerdy things"? his point was that the article had a very old world elitist attitude where "art" = "culture" and if one is to be considered cultured and is rich, there

no they weren't making sexual jokes. (a) the man has said that his statement about forking was taken out of context, which I'll grant your sensibilities the benefit of the doubt and say maybe he's not telling the truth on that, but then aga

I'm not sure how one could possibly interpret any of my statements as being condescending towards art, so perhaps the problem is your inability to understand the topic at hand rather than my "condescending attitude". Like I've pointed out n

"RISD is a very small school. Only 2,282 students total. According to [1], they had 835 admissions, with a 34% acceptance rate. If my math is right, that makes for 2,455 applicants." I'm afraid you're missing the point. The point is that th

"Far, far fewer want to be an art major and try to survive as an artist (or even an art teacher)" Are you discounting the multitudes that study fashion design and graphic design? The ones that pile on at RISD and New School? Julliard? At th

Thanks, I'll definitely check it out. I signed up for lessons at the local YMCA, but this could be a nice supplement. Thanks again!

If you're talking about the economic prognosis of art, I'd like to direct you to the world of high-end sports cars. There are many people who can afford to buy and maintain them in this world. Not all of them do. Just like many people can a

This talk of "right-brain" revolution has become so popular that no one even realizes the fundamental irony of it all. The fallacy that the "creative" arts have been under appreciated in society is the largest piece of bollocks I've ever he

for what i's worth, i think this is not a problem at all, speaking from the point of view of a parent. as a society we have put school at the level of a deity; something we don't question, just do. back in the day, a good, god-fearing man w

So is your point that he was incorrect in stating that a lot of people post their age in order to get to the front page or that calling that action manipulative is wrong? The thesis of the post seemed to me to be if you make a product, focu

If this is in relation to http://vishnumenon.com/2013/01/21/im-35-months-old-and-i-mad... then I think you miss the point. I agree with the author of that and it is the most common sense post I've read, so far, regarding this issue. The r
