Toxic masculinity is deeply Boomer. We have all been tangentially affected by it for decades.

Well tell her to knock it off. Wtf

Narrator: They won’t.

Ignorance doesn’t need a reason, only an opportunity

What you have to understand about Philly is that they already hate themselves more than anyone else.

Kindness is its own communication.

It will take a while for us to get past the inertia of Boomers who have been gaslighting everyone for decades.

This is why you should know who you marry before you get married.

Stop letting regressive religion control your lives.

Let yourself get a little cold. You’ll end up with the blanket, but keep it off as long as possible while you fall asleep.

The best way is probably not to say it’s an impossible task from the outset, eh?

Completely understand your viewpoint. I’m also aware though that there is a heavy saturation right now (at least in the DMV, which has historically been a bellwether for the greater economy) of both IT and bioscience/biotech industries. Both fields that also require very smart, educated, and experienced workers. So, I’m saying that things can shift quickly, and workers are always on the losing end, so it pays to note how the winds are blowing, regardless of current status.

I think your focus is too narrow and your anger and need for someone to be punished for the awful systems that we are forced to survive within are clouding your ability to see the larger picture specific to the necessities of survival.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but you sound like you’re speaking from a place of privilege, and I am allowing room for the realities of this current-state existence.

As I said, conflating two separate things. It doesn’t void the validity of either to acknowledge them.

This is so fuckin adorable

Yeah thanks for the insight

You’re conflating two separate things. I make a distinction between understanding the inherent friction of Labor and Capital along with a broad and deep awareness of the stacked playing field, and also keeping oneself employed by necessity.

That’s a pretty short term view though, no? Presumably if an expected revenue stream does not generate flow to supplant the initial capital outlay, said business will not be a going concern for long?

I’m not defending subscription models at all, they’re corrosive to the economy, but your comment had me curious.

I definitely don’t recommend that you look up Tidal downloaders that allow users to keep the music they want from the service. You definitely don’t want to build a whole digital library that way.

Your local library usually has a host of FREE media types. Including regular ol books, which thankfully still remain ad-free.

(But also movies, and digital readers, and news articles, etc).
