Indoor farming isn't scalable. At least not with the models that are being done now. They work for niche crops, but not staple carb sources like potatoes and grains. They can be profitable, but aren't a catch all solution.

The ocean cleaning projects also don't scale. We should be focused on keeping the trash from getting into it first by switching to recyclable and biodegradable packaging and forcing the fishing industry to switch back to hemp nets.

Even if I don't know what a "classicist", I wouldn't be injecting my two cents into a conversation like this.

When your nation always needs to be at war, it's helps to repress sexuality and normalize violence. This isn't so much a conspiracy theory, but an observation of an emergence behavior that reinforces itself.

There are more people alive today then any other point in human history. Do you have slaves per capita?

I think the rules are a little different when you decide to make your appearance the product. Instagram Models or models in general make themselves out to be an ideal and a image for other people, especially children to strive for. That makes criticism of them valid while if they were just going about their day, it wouldn't be. Doesn't help that the filters make these images impossible to achieve.

Covered Highways. The benefits of additional PV and the benefits less rain and less sun glare on drivers. You could also install a tram like wires above in one lane for maintaining the EV charge on trucks and buses.

Be real, how many jobs do you trust a suit to be able to figure out? Do you really want one of them behind an electric pallet jack?

I don’t see how this is anything but shooting themselves in the foot in the long run.

I mean, that's been Russia's MO for the past three years.

There was a recent change in Twitter's posting policies. They now have decided that any art posted to twitter, twitter owns. There is an on going exodus of artists who decided on bluesky as their new homes. There might be algo bias going on from the influx.

I heard Russia is accepting immigrants.

It's looks photoshopped, but the original was probably mid fluffing themselves up. They can get pretty round after they get up and shake the dust out of themselves.

 

Community college ostensibly for people who don't have a good track record from High School, but is often advertised as the cheap, local option for people who don't want to feel bad about having to go.

I did in fact try community college and it's really just high school material with smaller text. I even took it in parallel with an edX equivalent and the material wasn't even close to each other. The idea that CC is suppose to replace the first 2 years at a real college is terrifying and reinforces how much of the professional word is theater.

If you do any number of years at a community college, you should be able to apply as a freshman to a real college if you want.

 

This might be considered drama, but I thought some people might be interested in an update.

March Wayback Machine listing.

Current List.

For those out of the loop, back in May, FalseEyed broke a story about MSM. Right after that, several vtubers shared their own stories about dealing with the CEO and his bad behavior.

Just afterward, Aethel made two statements. The first one saying that he's talking to HIS laywers. The second announcing his departure.

Since then, the company has been shedding talents. I assume more are just waiting for their contracts to run out and want to leave quietly.

According to Krimbo, the MSM CEO is largely responsible for Takahata101's burnout last year. It will be interesting to see who shows back up in the bar now that Taka is back.

Edit: Another four dropped since I posted this. GhostySaige, Nagzz, RPR and Vexoria.

Most of the open drama is happening on Twitter, which I don't use, so I can only relay second hand info. MSM's Director of Talent also bailed yesterday with the support of exMSM talents.

Edit 2: and the talent page is empty. Some back and forth going on on twitter.

Edit 3: Falseeyed's coverage of the msm fallout.

 

As of this posting, she's still in the prep/warmup room. She previously went viral for her "The Troubles" lecture on Saint Patrick's Day.

Weird that she would abandon a 100k+ identity for a rebrand when her old IP already had a serious redesign. It was bothering me where she went when she disappeared out of the blue. One of her notable collabs was being the first to collab with Neuro-sama.

 

Old clip, but given that something's happening on the official Kizuna channel right now, I thought a refresher is in order.

 

Former Tsunderia talent, turned PC manager, turned PC talent, Dizzy also did a stream titled: Why You Should NOT Join Phase Connect where she explained what it means to go from being an indie to a corpo talent. What is expected of you, what groups success means, deadline expectations. I think one of the reasons for PC's success has been setting realistic expectations with their talents. I think part of the reason for this steam is to dissuade the people who previous would have misunderstood what PC can and cannot do you for.

 

Either I never belonged in the remedial classes, the GED is a participation trophy, or both are true.

Bonus, I tested out of community college geometry, but struggle with online high school geometry. I mostly wanted the college class to have classroom support for the online high school classes. They refused to let me take the class because I tested out of it.
