Boards of Canada.

some_guy , 1 month ago to asklemmy in What industry do you work in and what are the LPT the general public should know about it?

Tech. Everyone felt overwhelmed when they started, like they’d never be able to catch up, like they were in over their head. It’s not just you. We all went through it.

Or just a complete asshole.

I’ve been listening to The Fall of Civilizations podcast (it’s really good, especially if you enjoy history). I just finished an ep yesterday on the Norse colonies on Greenland and it talked about the destructive farming that occurred before they were abandoned. This was ~13th-14th centuries when they went dark. It’s not an uncommon problem, though centuries of progress make it harder to excuse / understand in the 20th.

Anyway, fascinating stuff. I wonder how we’ll be talked about in the next millennium (assuming a miracle and humanity lasts that long).

Check out a book called, The Passover Plot. I read it this year and loved it. The author posits that Jesus was extremely clever in engineering his role as the messiah and it all went wrong when he was stabbed by a Roman centurion. Very good read.

some_guy , 1 month ago to asklemmy in Feeling lost and with no direction, what skill should I learn?

One of the former guitarists of thrash metal band Anthrax became a watch repairman. I think maybe he work(s/ed) on antique watches, but I might be making that part up. If you like working with your hands and challenging your mind, this could be great. I listened to a podcast miniseries about a guy who, among other things, repaired clocks. There was a lot of commentary about how reverse-engineering the original design was a big part of the job. (The show was S-Town / Shit-Town).

But Palestinians aren’t human, so it’s fine, right? /s

Crushing mobs of plebs.

some_guy , 1 month ago to news in Election commissioner presents evidence that 'Trump caught paying people to attend rally'

I’ve read that his announcement for his 2016 run was full of people paid to be there, but I don’t recall where and I can’t substantiate the claim.

Perhaps true with office work (so many tales of people saying they got shit code from overseas developers) and such, but I think the savings were very real for manufacturing, at least for a period of time. Happy to be corrected if that’s wrong.

Businesses were over-extended by low-interest rate loans, so this isn’t a surprise.

Remember when Jesus was known for conning people and cheating them? It was like his main thing or whatever. She’s right. No wonder they worship Donnie.

So damn cute I immediately sent this pic to my partner and ran into the other room to tell her to check her phone.
