Disney's Agenda Leaked

Off Topic Politics & World Issues
564

I’m not here to recap the thread for you. The concerns are very clearly laid out, if you care to read them.

I think you did, even though you didn’t change my mind on the subject. It is very refreshing to have someone who is willing to stake out a clear position and defend it. Too often discussions quickly devolve into repeatedly disagreeing with someone in very vague terms that lead to nowhere, or spouting broad narratives that require many, many questions to even understand what the person is talking about. Clarity is important.

It is also nice to have known lifters participating here in PWI. I think the baseline level of respect that’s built-in with people who’ve trained hard for years and shared that part of their lives here on T-Nation really improves the discussion. We know that we’re talking to people who were drawn to this forum for the same reason we were, and not some random troll who could be anyone.

I guess, “Just don’t attend,” or, “Just don’t send your kids.”

We’ll just keep trimming around the edges, ya square! Tough, if you don’t like it. It’s a free market anyway! Go build your own media empire, radio station, sports leagues, social media platform, television station, and schools if you must!

Yeah the Disney agenda is just one leg of the centepede.

I saw an interesting video the other day that looks at the strategies and techniques being used to attack traditional culture. If you can get past the initial tabloid approach, ominous background music, it delves into really insightful territory.

Lol, off topic, but what are u fellows using for study notes and code blocks and stuff like documentation? I started using Notion but I’m too lazy to customize it. But their other services look pretty good and I’m seriously thinking giving them a shot for business.

@Andrewgen_Receptors

Yo, I’m posting this so I don’t derail this thread anymore than I already have lol.

I found out how fucking powerful a Notion notebook is IF you can be bothered to go learn about it’s features but I skipped that earlier because I’m a lazy fuck lol.

Simple docs or template modifications are enough. I think it’s not popular since it’s really a little more for developers which probably wasn’t their intent in the first place and it’s not like excel which is user friendly even if you know balls about the technical stuff. I’m sticking with it.

I’m gonna recommend that, although Onenote may be more popular with their code blocks and stuff and it’s a pretty good tool, Notion beats it hands down if you’re into IT or even an engineer in other fields who relies a lot on documentations. I just don’t like how many trackers and shit they put in my PC but I don’t use my work one so I don’t care.

I gotta say after watching this video again, his Mandarin is actually pretty good. I watched it on my mobile previously and thought he used auto-translate on google because of WAY he mispronounces some words.(e.g, a word that rhymes with “she” was pronounced as “shoe”. The romantization or whatever the fuck you call the way words are spelled in English of the word is “xu” so the former would be naturally be used. But his intonations/inflections or whatever the fuck you call this again is legit for someone who didn’t grow up speaking the language. It’s almost impossible to have the right “accent” for an adult who picks up the language and it’s the same for a native Mandarin speaker picking up English.)

The mistake he made when dealing with China: NEVER FUCKING APOLOGIZE. It works on people in other Chinese dominated countries but not in China. They lose respect for you and fuck you even more lol. Pretty much like when dealing with SJWs but I would associate China persons (lol) more with the Right than the Left the way these are defined by the US.

F9 was going to be a hit no matter what. He didn’t need to say shit. No one knows who he is anyway unless they watch wrestling.

BTW, lol at voting out of this!

This is the correct take. If this were the outcome of a systematic review of Florida’s special districts, then fine. No issues there. I think many of the folks cheering this would be outraged if a democratic governor and legislature increased the regulatory burden on a conservative leaning company for expressing views they didn’t like.

Honestly nothing yet. You’re very much ahead of me but my course path is accelerated as fuck… like shitting out a BS in 2 years 8 months type accelerated. I’m about to come up on my first ‘real’ term with tech classes so I’ll let you know if i find something good for code blocks/documentation

The article on the porn class is interesting. On the one hand, exploring porn and its effects on those who view it and how it portrays women would be a legitimate class but the description of the class includes the idea of taking porn seriously as an art form. Art? It exists as an aid to masturbation. I don’t know if anyone jerked off to the Mona Lisa.

Careful you may be surprised. On a lighter, related note, this has got to be up there in the Top 10 of most creative journal article titles:

This would make a lot of things better. Kids and adults.

Of course with political sides it’s always what’s “good for me but not for thee”. I would agree conservatives would definitely be upset but I don’t think anybody would be shocked. It pretty much makes sense what’s happening is all I’m saying.

Pertinent to the recommendations, “Just turn it off,” “Don’t attend,” “don’t buy,” and so on.

From the article.

Today, Comcast, Disney, AT&T, Sony, Fox, and Paramount Global control 90% of what you watch, read, or listen to. These companies spend millions on lobbying each year to sway legislation in their favor.

When discussing and thinking of zeitgeists and movements what I consider important is to refer to the writings of insightful but cynical Edward Bernays to consider the likely reason of why many people act as they do.

Thanks.

I’m 100% not “ahead of you”. This course is just a 6 month one for a professional cert if I pass the exam. I didn’t even want to do it. I don’t even come close to meeting the real prerequisites for it which were defined by the fucking company conducting and grading the exam. I described why I’m in it in the Flame Free Confession Thread.

And look, if you know basic Java, which I think you’re being taught in school, any coding language is easy to pick up. You can pick up python in 2 WEEKS and django is literally idiot proof even for people who have not studied CS. The fuckers on YouTube are hyping all this coding languages and shit too much even though they’re a good resource for learning.

I picked up stuff like python and javascript and their respective frameworks because I NEEDED to for managing IT teams since clients were demanding more IT based projects. It’s not hard because there are lots of free resources on YouTube and a subscription to a course is like fucking 30USD a month from Udemy or something.

But these were are smaller ones projects. For the REAL shit that brings in the high budgets and profits, I hire a remote dude with a and actual high education in CS to manage the team because I’m completely out of my depth. Even if you are really good in, e.g, nodeJS but don’t have a foundation in CS, the real shit is out of your depth.

This is why I engage a dude with an actual education in CS on retainer to manage remote teams for such projects. I mean, of course IRL, depending on the needs of employers where you live, knowledge of javascript and python may be needed for entry level jobs.

The job requirements when I look at local job posts for mid level roles require:

  1. At least a CS degree or one in Math, Stats, Finance. My wife is more qualified to be employed in an IT position than me LMAO. She studied Math.

If you satisfy this, whatever coding experience/knowledge is secondary since there are a whole list of them depending on job scope and industry since they’re aren’t hard to pick up.

AND even self-learned coders who are experts in nodeJS and stuff may be rendered near obsolete by, e,g, the GCP, which would require more “engineers” and “architects” with basic knowledge of code than “programmers”. This is what a CS degree gives you the foundation for.

Frontend stuff is fucking easy, which is why so many people can learn it themselves, which is why the salaries will gradually be lower because of the low barriers to entry and increase in competition for jobs.

And, fuck, you can basically do full stack shit with word press as the front end and use firebase for full stack development without writing a word of actual code other than some minor stuff to link them.

I find it unbelievable that Google would control less than 10%

Yes, it is. This is not a result of capitalism. It is a result of super-concentrated, monopolistic, finance capitalism in which “turn it off”/“don’t buy it”/“it’s a private company, so their rules” is asinine.

And the whole “control your kids” notion is too, as it implies the only societal institution responsible for young children is the nuclear family, which shows we don’t even have a society by definition, just a living space of individuals living for “freedom”.

So of the CS degree and sub-degrees (CIS, Software Engineering, etc.), which of them is the highest echelon of computer information? Honestly I’m clueless as far as which degree does what - it all seems like the same shit tbh.
