I animate shows that pretend to teach kids lessons but are actually designed to sell them toys. It feels productive. Not sure anything in the entertainment industry is really meaningful work though.

Entertaining people isn’t bullshit in my books. Manufacturing demand is otoh

No it is not bullshit. I stand ready at the chute- the balls come out and hit me in the chest and I take them to the grate where I squish them through the bars. I watch them go up the tube and then I run back to the chute where they hit me in the chest. What would happen if someone's chest wasn't in the way of the balls? The answer is of course none of you will ever have to find out.

I make fillings and donuts for ... well, everyone. We make Ihop's filling, we make all of the cinnabun filling (it's actually made with pretty good stuff, tbh), we also make all the Dunkin Donuts stuff and Casey's donuts too. It's a hot, thankless job, but we're union so that's kinda bullshit. But thankfully goons eay a lot of icing. I love you guys.,

The reason why Keynes was blowing smoke is simple: man is addicted to Progress Quest forever more. That means that for every real advancement that improves efficiency, men will find ten more ways to waste that money on useless poo poo. And it always has to be the latest-and-greatest, or people will shun it. Every year means you need new hotness of Titanium Golf Clubs, Smart Refrigerators, The Internets, Nuclear Submarines, Rural Electrification, Trendy drugs to fight cancer, AI-powered Jeopardy Contestants, God Impersonators/Rich Celeberities, New technology to save a few people from dying in car crashes, but slowly triples the price of cars, Wasting as much power and compute resources as a small country in order to bet on ONE computer-created currency over ten billion others, Same-day delivery of pointless items. Until we say "enough," you can never target something as simple as reducing working hours. Until then, it's too loving easy to get distracted with cheering on Monday Night Rehabilitation (nightly grand entertainment is yet another ludicrous waste of money). My job is part of a team making sure our military has better information than the enemy. Get to put our sensors on aircraft, which is pretty cool. defaultluser fucked around with this message at 06:27 on May 23, 2018 |
