“No more Gorn, I mean it!”

For sure. Humans are super social and our big brains enable so much verbal, nonverbal, and written communication that we became more efficient as a group. All the greatest things out there, bridges and sky scrapers and roads were built by teams, not an individual, because of our strong communication skills.

Never heard the equine reference before. Anyone know where that came from?

There are lots of reasons that one area of your company may make less money. It’s like how the NYC subway or post office technically don’t “make money” but the value they bring to the whole system is a net positive by enabling all the other companies to make way more.

Sounds like the name of a Culture ship

It’s great your path is different from many others’ for whom this is a real issue. I wish you strength with your own challenges and I wouldn’t think to demean them by proclaiming they aren’t my troubles.

This is so true. By college, far more learning and work takes place independently. A professor will teach 3-4 hours per week. Definitely not enough to “explain everything”.

Some explaining, but mostly the job is teach students how to think critically, seek resources, manage time at short medium and long terms, express yourself orally and written, build endurance for boring things, and most importantly to read.

I can explain riding a bike all day. But that’s not how someone learns to ride.

You sound like the kids who don’t do their homework.

I’ve been waiting 30 years for industrial solutions but it is obvious that marketing and advertising to maintain the status quo of legacy companies is still a better roi.

This is a regulatory issue not a market failure.

Also I’m sure plastic recycling on a large scale is just around the corner. The plastic packaging on my plastic products keeps saying so. (/s)

You made a post about how great the design is based on screenshots? And didn’t think to use the site yourself?

Oops! All fascists! I’ll assume good faith here so I suggest you close the door, back away slowly, and hope no one saw you in there.

Find the right men. There are 4 billion men out there and many are able to communicate and be there for friends. It may take moving into some peripheral spaces where different experiences and points of view are appreciated.

A megacorporation by any other name still smells the same. And Nestle stinks.

From big bang, to medium rare, to heat death of the universe, how do you take your steak, sir?

Yes, also recognition that some people may have symptoms and test negative or feel fine and test positive. That’s also why there is no recommendation to test again. If someone pops a positive recommendations say to stay home for 5 days then mask for 5 more. There is no benefit to additional testing because of natural variation in antibody production and function.

And some jobs will now show a maximum that is below a potential employee’s minimum even if the job sounded like a good fit at first.

There is good faith that the company will post estimated ranges from 25% to 75% of their true range so it’s not like it’s forcing them to give away the farm, but there also isn’t a hard rule about how close the estimate has to be.

Prices are high because companies are algorithmically raising rents for groups of landlords or outright buying up half of all new single family homes as large scale investments. The market is screwed because of entirely new reasons never seen before, clearly demonstrated by all the conflicting signals about what is healthy and what isn’t. This is a market failure when timely information isn’t transmitted to the rest of us, monopolies are thinly veiled, and taxpayers keep being forced into subsidizing and bailing out outdated businesses that should be left to fail.

But I think this adds to the layers. They are both confused and lonely and unsure of what’s next, one at the beginning of her career and one near the end. They recognize a bit of themselves in each other and also their need for love and acceptance. The little bit of physical stuff between them comes across as awkward because they then realize that even they mistook their feelings briefly for sexual attraction but it was actually more existential than that. In a way this reveals them both a little more innocent and unsure of themselves, which ultimately made it endearing.

While a big age difference can be suggestive of predatory behavior, Bill’s character never came across that way. This is definitely an edge that Sofia Coppola skirted and I’m not sure if a male director could do it as deftly.
