A lot of people would argue that the average woman has a higher EQ. I think EQ is a silly concept but it obviously refers to something.
A hostile work environment is very difficult to deal with and be happy. Any of the women I know are much less afraid to change jobs than men, who will stay in the same horrible situation until they have a nervous breakdown or leave and act like that was an amazing revelation and make a film about it and call it "Office Space." I mean.. I would have left after the first five minutes in that job and it would have made a very dull film.
You're not talking about twitter you're talking about the people using it. Euronews and The Guardian use it too, as well as CNN and Reuters and any other news source you can think of. Thanks to a Guardian tweet I've seen women and the elderly on that flotilla being beaten up and shot at by Israelis. I'm ot trying to get across a political view, I'm just describing the video I saw with my own eyes.
Kandinsky said that. If he was alive today he'd be a vlogger / blogger, and would have a DeviantArt account I have no doubt.
The fine art world is bunk, they've been exploring the same things since the abstract expressionists came out, there hasn't been a movement since postmodernism.
The new media are here.
Galleries no longer decide what is seen, they're merely a showcase now. Having your video played in the Guggenheim is inferior in every way to posting it on Youtube, and they know that... and they're terrified. All they have is a few ounces of prestige with those who are always slow to catch on.
Seeing something in real life will always be a different experience, that's their only advantage. But from now on people won't see things for the first time in books and galleries controlled by the privileged few. From now on we have choice and art and expression is truly free.
Do you know how video art worked up until the internet? There was no money in it. Galleries were slow to show it because it was difficult to sell, and if you bought it you had distribution rights to it and the artist wasn't allowed to sell it as a DVD or give it to another gallery etc because for one thing that would "devalue" it and for another they didn't have the right.
You'd walk in.. oh god it's so ridiculous I can't believe it seemed normal to me.. You'd walk into a dark secluded and usually makeshift room (the noises from it having disturbed you while looking at the pictures in the outer room) you'd walk in and it would be so dark you'd step on people. You'd sit down on the floor if there were no seats left or in an office chair directly behind another person with a large head. You'd come in the middle of the video.
Now artists can reach an unlimited audience without the help or the approval of the galleries, and we can watch them from start to finish in the comfort of our own homes.
I can't believe those prices!
My mom lives in Turkey and has to pay 20 dollars a month for a 4gb limit, with hefty fines if she goes over. I thought that was bad!
Choice is such a wonderful thing!
And he has so many coolness points, when you get to 19 and you leave school suddenly being a nerd is the coolest thing to be!
Man if that's not cool I don't wanna know what is.
It's your fault for reading it somewhere else and not immediately posting it here. Ask not what Slashdot can do for you, ask what you can do for Slashdot!
5. When I see someone being treated unfairly, I SOMETIMES don't feel very much pity for them.
Sometimes! Of course sometimes! If i've had a terrible day and if the person being treated unfairly
is my boss who takes every opportunity he can to insult criticize and put everyone else down and who we therefore
bully relentlessly.. then yes SOMETIMES i don't feel much pitty. If you treat people like crap they'll do the same to you.
even with all those silly adverbs 84.3% I got.
I cry when I watch the news and if I see a talk show that mentions a family that lost their baby (for example) I find it difficult to get up the next day i feel so sad. I still wouldn't trade it for a stone heart because then I'd run around drawing Mohammad and insulting people I didn't know and adding to the amount of pain and anger and suffering in the world. I can't do too much good or benifit but i can do my best not to make things any worse.
Agreed! This whole thing is disgusting! It mocks every single Muslim, not just the handful of people who threatened the lives of cartoonists in the past. It does not defend free speach it actively represses it.
No one should be ridiculed for their beliefs and every non-violent person should be respected.
But whatever about that, this stupid project is doing damage to real life people. It will give the dictators in Iran an excuse to block free media that everyone can agree with. It makes social networking an enemy to the people it should be liberating.
Youtube is banned in many countries for political reasons. The censored internet is being used as a tool of political oppression and a place to spread propaganda, people are being told that the west hates them and western media exists to corrupt their children and make them shallow and godless consumers.
And you know, this campaign makes me think they are right.
It's so horrible to mock someone else belief, anyone who does it is no better than a schoolyard bully. Damn the sense of superiority. Damn this idea that nothing is sacred.
Look at the "will it blend" video for the iPad. Look at the complaints! That is what is sacred to us! It is empty and meaningless and we don't even care about it! And yet we feel superior muslims!? How and why!
What the hell makes this okay!??
I did not argue that. I didn't argue any of those things.
All I said was this would be a possibility if we weren't vigilant.
I agree it's ridiculous to worry about progress in case someone runs the wrong way with something.. but all that stops anyone from doing that is us being concerned about it. Look at the extra steps goggle have taken towards privacy this week... all because so many people are incredibly paranoid about 1984, and right to be, because it is 1984 in countries like China (where they're not allowed to read 1984 anyway!)
But I don't think that will ever happen to us without violent oppression, because everyone is too educated about it and to terrified of it.
Sorry that's off topic, but my point is, how unlikely these things are is irrelevant, what matters is that they're possible. And everything possible we need to watch out for, because a lot of horrible things are already going on in the world and lets not ad to that!
Yes you could say if someone held a gun to your head you had the choice to die or to do what they said.. but that would never hold up in court or under moral scrutiny and you know it. So why not address my points instead of meandering around the dictionary definitions of "Choice" and "Worth"
If a life in the western world is saved every time someone in the rest of the world dies then what motivation do we have for helping them? It's inhuman and it suggests that our lives are somehow worth more because we can afford to pay for them. Not to mention the price would be as low as the market could stand, and that would be pretty low.
If someone is starving and you offer them money to do something, that's the same as pointing a gun at their head. It's a joke to call it a choice.

It's really not guessable.. but as someone said if goggle voice is only available in America anyway it doesn't matter.
Men have bigger hearts... just physically, not metaphorically.
There's a physical difference between male and female hearts, so they had to choose one or the other for consistency. It's probably interesting for some scientist or pig farmer somewhere to know which they chose.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't also think about the bad side. I don't want to see rich countries buying organs from poorer countries, especially if those organs belonged to someone who died from a poverty related illness.
But they can make a law against that. Woot! The most important thing is that this is going to be great and save lots of lives!
That is if it works, they haven't put it back inside a pig and got it working yet, have they?
Nah, there were some thin curvy ones and there were some thin curve-less ones, and there were some thin curve-less with big breasts and some thin curve-less with small breasts and some with long torsos and some with shorter torsos and some with long legs and some with shorter legs and curvy with big breasts and... not that I spent much time on it...
True, impossible to judge.. I realized that after I'd rated 5 and they were all -3
And what the hell is with their pubic areas? They were like flat triangles. Black silhouettes would have been much more affective.
Well I'm glad to know that it's not normal every day people. When I was 17 and read Fight Club for the first time I got terribly interested in this kind of crap, (amateur explosives and general mischief, not white supremacy!) and probably downloaded a lot of stupid things out of curiosity, it was a phase I grew out of, and I never intended to do anything for a second.. I do remember finding an awesome shaving creme "bomb" though.. . it would have made some mess! My mom would have been so surprised! And I wanted to put an "out of order sign" on an ATM (to free people from their dependence on money... oh my god I was an idiot)
Anyway my point is I feel it's important for them to mention that these were serious nasty people, and not just hobbyists who want to blow up their old fridge because they're stupid and explosions look so cool on tv.

Doesn't that go for any job though?

Why don't people trust twitter?
It's pretty transparent and as honest as the people who post on it..
Exactly, those people are heroes. And telling the truth when everyone else is afraid to is what makes them heroes.
And he has so many coolness points, when you get to 19 and you leave school suddenly being a nerd is the coolest thing to be! Man if that's not cool I don't wanna know what is.

Two arguments over semantics there.
Yes you could say if someone held a gun to your head you had the choice to die or to do what they said.. but that would never hold up in court or under moral scrutiny and you know it.
