Are you interested in historical data? (ie jobs we're no longer employed at)

I can’t wait to give away bottles of water to the line that queues up to piss on his grave.

TouchID only works with Apple Silicon Macs. Everything else should work though.

Oh, come on. You haven’t tried writing a book yet. That’s like YouTube, but with two bonus levels of gatekeeping that prevent your work from being found and then consumed. Three, if you count the retail store, which doesn’t have to carry your book, if it thinks that anything else would make more money per square foot than your book.

People want to be YouTube stars not because they have something to say, but because they don’t have to leave the house, can work on their own schedule, don’t have to be particularly smart or funny, don’t have to be particularly attractive, and all it takes is a couple hundred bucks’ worth of equipment. And when you put it that way, you might think, “That’s crazy; why isn’t everyone doing this, if the barrier for entry is that low?” and the answer is, “Everybody *is* doing it, but the algorithm doesn’t show you the 99.999 percent of people who are abject failures.” Everybody and their mother makes shorts, because it’s low-effort filmmaking for low-effort viewers, so the market there is pretty saturated.

Five hundred hours’ worth of footage get uploaded to YouTube every minute. So, if you put up a twenty minute video every minute of every day, you’re still just one fifteen-hundredth of the content that’s out there. If you only upload one twenty-minute video per day, you’re only one fourteen-millionth of the content. But who can kick out twenty minutes a day, so let’s say you can only do one of these once every three days: Now you’re around one fifty-millionth of the content that’s out there. Assuming YouTube generated the recommended list completely at random, but using only videos made in that three-day window, YouTube has 2.1 billion monthly users and there have been 50 million 20-minute videos added during that time. That means that your video goes in front of 42 people. They don’t have to watch it; it’s just offered to them. 42 people out of *two billion*. Really, that would be the odds of that video being first, so if they’re offered six videos at random, 250 people have the opportunity to click on it. Again, *out of two billion*.

That’s just the scale of YouTube, which is what happens when you give people any option to make money from something that requires no education or certification. It doesn’t require a business permit. It doesn’t even require much by way of originality. And then you wonder why it is that you get to the top of the mountain, and you find out there’s another, larger mountain that starts at the summit of the one you just nearly died ascending.

Making videos for YouTube is like being a musician:
- 99 percent of musicians never make a dime. They screw around in their house, maybe form a garage band, and that’s it. They can be the best songwriter in the world; it doesn’t fucking matter.
- And then of that one percent, 99 percent might get paid once in a while, fifty bucks or a comped bar tab, and that’s it. They might record an album, sell it at their shows, but they never make back what it cost to record. They might play bars every Friday and Saturday night, but they’re still working a day job.
- And then the remaining one percent of that group are the ones who actually break through and can quit their day job. At least for a while, because they didn’t make *that* much money, and tastes change, and every album sells half as many as the one before it. And next thing you know you’re teaching music classes at the local community college for fifty thousand dollars a year, and that gold record on your wall taunts you every time you see it; a reminder that you’ll never have it that good again. If this seems overly specific, it’s because I know that guy.
- And then one percent of *that* group are the people who never have to do anything but play music ever again: Your Taylors, your Madonnas, your James and Larses. They’ve reached a point where they’re part of an eternal zeitgeist, and the money just rolls in.

And YouTube is the same way. It’s 99.99 percent unlikely that you’re ever going to make money at this, and 99.9999 percent unlikely that you’re going to be able to make this your only job, and then it’s 99.999999 percent unlikely that this is going to be the only job you ever have, and that you can live off of this income forever.

What the hell is that conversation? It sounds like it's going on between two clowns.

Xinophobia on one hand and Quran on the other.... Combo attack... 😏

Why would dems elevated someone who is not popular with the American public. Go listen to the NPR interviews with people who voted for Trump who are dems, it’s because they see dems as way too liberal and not focusing on general public. Why Trumps most effective ad was Kamala is for they/them.

U got any recommendations?

If only there were some official way a tally of the American people could have been done in advance; so this test was simply theoretical and not practical.

In Assam and Tripura, the impact is substantial. Other than that one minor trivia: The term for outsiders in many Arunachali communities is 'mleccha'. The term 'mleccha' is originaly from Sanskrit, and it has pretty much a similar meaning— used by Vedic people to denote people who were outside and distinct from the Vedic tribes, and was also used to describe foreigners, invaders, and outcasts. This means that there must have been some exchange antique enough for a Sanskrit term to have been included in the original meaning into the local languages.

Even my phone got stolen in a bus... Don't have any hopes of getting it back

Another fine mess caused by the British thieves.


Lmao

A job would allow you to buy even more cookies 😉

all this diverting from the real issue, tell them to reveal where the tax money goes, they wont answer this, truly not a sign of free country

Last couple of lines in your post made me think.

I'm from the Kongu region but not from the cities. My childhood was spent in a place which was semi-urban (but more rural than it was urban). Although you can see poverty, it's not really anything like you said in south TN. Most business owners in the cities would actually live in villages. Law and order was also quite good. The quality of life in villages was definitely not bad if you're not dirt poor. I certainly miss the people, the culture and the Tamil dialect.

The gerontocracy that is the democratic party is from the boomer generation. Of course they're trying to pull the ladder up behind them.

And look, we can't blame them for being so out of touch. It's hard to monitor the pulse of the nation when you're always monitoring the pulses of your leadership.
