Reject false icons started with art, but applies to nearly everything we consume.
Cherish the real because YOU enjoy it. Be an individual, it’s normal to go against the crowd.
You’re never alone in your counter-popular tastes, they just want it to seem that way.
@FreshFindsPod@piggylul_ Yeah not the best example but you can def hear the evolution of his mixing abilities. I specifically chose Weekends!!! and not anything off of Scary Monsters or Bangarang because I think that is phenomenal brostep mixing
Both are phenomenal songs imo
@hulu you ain’t slick by always saving my spot on a tv show just before an ad break, even though I watched the ad right before signing off.
Anti consumer
@AFpost His Vance creation flamed out. Lost external support due public perception of Iran and connection to Trump. Lost internal support from the current admin (albeit rumors) of being the leaker.
I take this more as a tail tucked between his legs and starting fresh
@RT_com Why would you not say the CEO’s name and show a picture of them? This is intentionally misleading clickbait to think Ben Shapiro is stepping down
@Majora__Z Evidence-based geographic explanations that aren’t inherently racist were popularized by Diamond, becoming common sense near 30 years ago
For much of pre-history, it was THE factor, but I agree that as societies advanced, random chance and culture became impactful
I can dismiss those errors as I personally believe his thesis weakens the further along in history you get. I agree there are flaws in it, but there is also a lot more truth. For an Act 1 of human history of “haves and have nots” - I find little flaw in his arguments.
Many will throw away the entire book because Diamond got the specifics of Cajamarca wrong, but these folks fail to see the bigger picture of his arguments, that the bedrock of our histories as peoples were shaped through non-anthropic factors
@FlaggMavs He gets no flowers until the team starts winning. Shouldn’t celebrate mediocrity
I’m glad he’s starting to correct some actions, but how many of us would survive our jobs in year 1 if we fucked up so bad we made our company the laughing stock of the whole industry?
Hard to play catch, tag, or any other game where kids run around outside in a garden. Sure there are parks, but are you going to let a 7 year old walk to a park alone? Now how about go to the fenced in backyard alone
The areas without homeless are going to be far more expensive. Similar prices could get you 3x the square footage in the burbs
Ease of access of space for kids to run around outside, without immediate supervision. Urban metros are not what they once were as drug and homeless problems continue to worsen. Also, quality of public schools in many suburbs trump public schools in the city.
A lot of families make it work in the urban environments and good on them! The pros of the burbs outweigh other options for family life imo
If I want the full picture of what happened with the fall of the Inca, I’m certainly going to find a book that focuses on that.
There are definitely flaws in his argument as I don’t think it’s the full end all be all of history, but his ideas on the building blocks of society (plant and animal domestication, evolution of societies, comparisons of cultures) are hard to find flaws in
@Freyaaie You are surprisingly (American) patriotic “Freya” for an account based in South Asia!
Or are you a 30 year old man who sleeps without air conditioning in a shit hole?
@HurrdatSports@AthlonSports He was above 3 million NIL which would put him top ten in all of CFB. He was good, but he was not top ten good.
Truly wish him nothing but the best going forward, but his 2 years at Nebraska did not match what he was getting paid for.
@itsspank@LindsayJS Yeah I can see your point then. It’s a complex issue, but a lot of pro-urbanism debate comes at the expense of bashing the suburbs, which have great qualities and provide a lot for society in different ways.
Appreciate the article, I will give it a read
