Yeah, nothing makes me go to YouTube Music. Usually, if I'm listening to music on YouTube, it's because a YouTube video of a song came up in a search. If I was on YouTube already, then I had just used the search bar there. If I wasn't, the search engine wouldn't send me to YouTube Music. For music in general, I just use Spotify.
I can't be that weird about using music on YouTube rather than YouTube Music, the post shows someone doing the same thing.
i dont want to contribute to crying over the difficulties of white men, but the more honest stat would be what percent of the hiring in 2023/2024 was white men
the hiring of white people is about the same, and the hiring of men is actually a little bit higher between 2022 and 2023
the interesting take-away here is mostly that there is an increase of hiring of people who are asian while people who are black or latinx are in decline
I've read a few books from Hesse, including The Glass Bead Game, and found the English translations rather readable. His more commonly recommended books, Siddhartha and Steppenwolf, should be fine for any high school level reader.
I read it this year, too. It's a fun read, but I wouldn't recommend anything past the first group of articles (that is, don't bother with "Five Five Five Five Five"). The ideas are good, to be sure, but the overall arc past that is pretty weak.
Their usage of "their" aligns with how English has been used for centuries (Wikipedia says 14th century), but more importantly the author's writing was the topic of discussion not their gender.
Policing other's pronoun usage is ideological, but that's your argument, not theirs.
Obviously, that is: statistically, all involved here (the SCP author, the HN commenters, you, me) are men, so saying "he" is very likely correct. If by chance someone here is nonetheless a woman she will probably speak up.
'Their' is practical not ideological - Sam could be Samuel or Samantha, and I didn't know which. Also, bring up the use of 'their' for unknown gender with Shakespeare and Austen, who both did it.
The only one being 'ideological' here is you, getting worked up over basic grammar that's been around longer than Modern English. Go out and touch some grass.
Yeah, the first half or so is a blast, but there’s a point where I feel it drops off quite a bit. (For me, I think it was when the POV changed to Adam.) Still worth a read, though!
HN has a super bland and anti-culture culture. Combine that with the tendency to love technology and watching the free market "solve" "problems" and you're bound to find prolific posters like the parent commenter with these cold takes.
Also, early this year I read Pigliucci's How to Be a Stoic. In that book the author often references that he had "conversations" with his "friend" Epictetus.
All this to say: there might be something to this practice of befriending the dead.
> she could have a website where all her albums are listed. She wanted to not have to share a new link each time, and have people easily look up older ones.
Would a static site with a list of links to Google Photos albums work? I've done this with my family.
If so, there are ample static website providers out there.
