Probably because there are so few specialties with job security left, so now everyone has to be hyper adaptable

What I find fascinating is how industrialization brought about the idea of specialized labor, but it feels like workers today are expected to master more specialties than ever

For once I would love to see a study on how many jobs/gigs people have on average and for how many different employers/clients

I am ALWAYS wondering this. Or how they count people who are under-employed

Everyone's been pushing STEM as a lucrative major for so long, I'm not surprised!

I feel all this. In some ways, I think gaining a better understanding of myself bruised my confidence. When I didn't have a sense of my own limitations, yes I constantly blamed myself for things I couldn't control, but it was soothing to think I *could* control those things if I tried hard enough 🥲

I'm impressed that anthropology majors are the only ones who can expect more unemployment and a smaller salary than graphic design majors. Kudos to the brave anthropology majors

Snark aside, I don't think these numbers say much about the industry. A lot of people major in commercial art then work in other fields. It *might* be an indicator of the general socio-economics of design majors, or of how little employers value design degrees.

The pacing was so bad. I might have forgiven it if all the pieces suddenly came together at the end in a satisfying way. But none of the story endings had much surprise, or anything interesting to say, or anything to do with each other.

Season 1 was all about the White Lotus's exploitative relationship with the land it sits on, and the upper class's exploitative relationship with the staff. By season 3, that's all abandoned in favor of the personal dramas of the ultra wealthy, with some unrelated poor people drama on the side.

Oscar Wilde's core message in The Picture of Dorian Gray is that art is never gay, even if a gay artist made art about their gay love and it gave you gay feelings

People think The Picture of Dorian Gray is about the lure of youth and decadence. It's actually about Oscar Wilde yelling at the Victorians, "If you're scared of being corrupted by my art, that says more about you than me!"

I'm just messing around. I think we're long overdue for a popular wave of feminism for boys, no matter who takes credit for it. 🙂

"Young boys are taught to feel ashamed of every emotion except anger, which women will never understand until I angrily explain it to them" *the crowd goes wild*
