The wealthy are blamed for suppressing socially oriented thought.

That's because they do.

I'd be very interested to see your source on how this is supposed to be a joke.

1. Technical topics that strike my interest. Thinking of expanding it to include other things I'm interested in.

2. Not enough.

3. Gastby.js and Netlify because it was easy to get started with.

Yes, it does. Unless you subscribe to popular=objective, which I do. It is different now though. Looking at the past tells us that. It isn't like every other fact. There is a lot of disagreement in this thread. It isn't a fact like 2+2=4 is a fact.

Considering I'm saying the mapping for an objective good is popularity it does. What definition of objective good are you using?

Exactly. The culture is what determines good spelling.

That proves the argument. "Thing" is only considered correct because the culture has decided it is correct. If it changes to the alternative you proposed, then that would be correct. It wasn't even always "thing". It used to be different, and that was correct too.

Yes. The culture decided it was so, and therefore it was. The majority of the United States seems to think the Bill of Rights is good, and therefore it is. The majority of Europeans seems to think the European Union is good, and therefore it is. Other cultures may not agree, but that doesn't matter.

I would argue that if a majority of an audience says something is good (subjective to them), then that thing is good objectively. If something is popular, then it is good. Not to say it is without flaws. That is different.

Take the example of spelling that another user brought up. They claimed it is objective, but that isn't really true. Is the correct spelling color or colour? The answer to that is cultural, and therefore subjective. Unless you hold as I do that popularity is similar enough to objectivity to qualify. The cultural or popular notion determine what is right regarding subjectively judged subjects. This notion, including the spelling and even usage of words, can change over time.

I've never been prejudiced, but I learned race existed in the 8th grade when a black kid called me racist for having not seen the movie Barbershop.

Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Spotify, Crunchyroll, HBO Now(considering dropping this), Audible(picked this back up for long walks during pandemic)

Everything you said is either false or inapplicable.

I agree with this. There's definitely way more available today, and in many more niche genres than there was available in the 70s and 80s. Arguably there is also a higher proportion of trash because of the ease of entry, but because the fanbases can be so segmented people can find stuff they really like that's more geared toward their specific tastes. Plus, there are greater search tools than before, like Spotify.

People still listen to Metallica's music, and their music still ends up in movies.

I don't really think all new music is bad, just most of it. The same could be said for back in the day though. Metallica is a bad example for you to use cause they are still widespread because they are really good. There are other bands you haven't heard of from the 70s and 80s.

Tech salaries would be higher if unions were prevalent.

Vue is going to beat out React and Angular.

Anti-patterns are just patterns that some people don't like.

"by people that were no smarter than you"

You say that, but I don't think you know me.

No, really enjoying the WFH. So much more productive, and communication is better. Plus, less stress than trying to work in a loud office environment.

I do the same, but with Gatsby.js, and Namecheap.

1. Pick a topic -> look into topic -> write about topic -> post topic -> revise as I feel like it

Internet is an interesting medium because once it's out there, it's not really out there forever. You can change it as much as you want.

I started after reading that having a blog was beneficial. This was from a perspective of building a personal brand. At the beginning I was trying to do 1 per week, but I became burnt out on that, and noticed I wasn't really pursuing things I cared about.

I'm trying to get back into it this year, and only writing about stuff that actually catches my interest. This leads to having an irregular writing schedule. This is considered bad practice for building a brand, but I'm no longer worried about building a brand. I want to have a place to put my thoughts together, and put out there when I happen to have them.

Even with this change in perspective I've noticed my ability to write posts has gotten much better from when I started.

Simple: Gatsby.js, github, netlify stack at https://carlchesterlloyd.com/

Fun, money, and work/life balance.

Wheel of Time, and JoJo Part 2. A few other things, but not focusing on them rn.

gatsby.js, github, netlify

Was it ever mainstream in the sense of non-techy people using it?

I agree with this, and would like to add lose weight sooner. How you look, like being fat, really affects how people view, and interact with you. It also affects how you interact with others, and your opinion of yourself.

If a blog doesn't have rss, then it's probably not worth my time.

From examples of things you have used them for at work. The more you use them, then the more you should ask about them.

Flashcards

In a less specific way, I have a coworker who keeps a personal wiki.

I'm accomplishing far more than I did in the office. I don't have kids so my at home experience is one devoid of the usual distractions of talking with coworkers. I do miss the random conversations, and coworkers venting about their kids though.

It really reads like that doesn't it? If you were from the future this wouldn't be a bad way to share that information.
