This should be in the running for worst movie ever made.
It probably will be. It’s currently holding at 0% from 12 critics on rottentomatoes.

pretty sure it’s not the greatest alien movie of all time.
- Comment on Every female Democrat presidential nominee has resulted in a Donald Trump presidency 3 days ago:
Do you have a reference, or an essay that provides an overview of that? I’ve heard it before (and am willing to believe that it’s true) but it’s kind of a hard thing to look up on google scholar.

- Comment on Getting deep with Ian MacKaye, the godfather of DIY culture 1 week ago:
… you know, the internet is an aquarium. There could be the fiercest battle – like the fish could be going at it, just tearing the crap out of each other. The castles could be knocked over. The gravel displaced. But for those of us outside the aquarium, not a drop gets on us. It’s just not real. If people want to engage in that communication, I’m not judgemental. But if it hurts you, or it’s dispiriting, then get out of the aquarium.

Do you think technology is a good thing for the culture you have been a part of?
There will always be people who identify themselves as punk who recognise that technology is a tool not a lifestyle. So, I think punk will survive, or navigate that just fine. But when you say, ‘This culture that you are a part of,’ I don’t think that you can define what that culture is. I mean… could you?It depends on how you define the idea of punk, or DIY. To me, it’s about whether you value self-reliance above anything else. I think all kinds of people would be inspired by that, beyond music. Is it a good time for young people to make something happen for themselves?
I think it’s always a good time for that. My definition of punk is the free space. It’s an area in which new ideas can be presented without having to go through the filtration or perversion of profiteering. So, if we’re not worried about selling things, then we can actually think. The problem with new ideas is that they don’t have audiences. And in terms of the marketplace, an audience equals clientele. If you have no audience, it’s not profitable.But punk was an area, for me at least, where it didn’t seem to matter. I didn’t know any punk rocker who thought, ‘I’m gonna make a living out of this.’ The ones that did quickly left. What I received from the counterculture was a gift; the permission to create freely. And my reaction was to take care of this gift and keep it alive because it continues to give. Of course, there were some people who thought, ‘Wow. If I polish it, I can sell it.’ And then it ceases to be a gift.

- Comment on YSK Employers do NOT verify your total work history unless you're applying for a government position. 2 weeks ago:
a couple thoughts:
- I usually have a section called “Relevant Work” and another called “Other” where I say "Additional experience with [list my non-relevant jobs]"
- if you are taking time off from working, try to do something educational at the same time. classwork at a local university / community college is great, or do online classes or even a bunch of tutorials and/or an open-source/volunteer project. then you can say: “I always wanted to learn about (that topic) so I took some time off to really study it.” it’s most beneificial if it’s work-related, but it doesn’t have to be.
- present yourself in the best light, but do not outright lie on your resume because that might come back to bite you.

- Comment on When you're stressing against an opponent, remember, they're stressing just as much about you too 2 weeks ago:
They might be. They might also be overconfident, or they might be rightly confident, or they might be rightly un-confident, etc. Knowing the difference is important, and is what’s behind that Sun-tzu quote about knowing your enemy as well as yourself.

- Comment on Let's get Physical 2 weeks ago:
complications around how a personal relationship–or even the perceptions of one-- might affect workplace decisions
Agreed with everything you said. Just wanted to add the term “conflict of interest” to this part. If they had to make a decision that was good for the team and/or the customer, but bad for their lover, they might not make the best decision.

During roman times, it was common with complete orgies.
oh fam thank you… I needed a good laugh…
Why did the Romans construct so many buildings? for their ORGIES
Why did the Romans build acqueducts? to clean up after the ORGIES
Why did the Romans make their roads? to get to their ORGIES
Why did the Romans conquer so many people? because they needed folks for their ORGIES
thank you, friend. fwiw you’re kinda right about morality being a social construct, but I don’t know if that’s the best takeaway from all this.
