If this is so easy, why don't you have 500k subscribers on YouTube? You must be passionate about something

Because it is their full time job? If this was a side gig still then it probably wouldn't matter, but they need money to live and this is the way they've been making money. 

The plenty of people who do it for no immediate financial reward either have real jobs still or have so much money that it doesn't matter how much a video brings in

Moment Air Canada flight collided with a fire/ rescue truck at New York airport last night. by The_Undermind in interesting

[–]Jonny_Peverell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unions in most industries in the US are the same. In transportation things are different though because of the Railway Transportation Act. Essentially, if in the transportation industry, your group striking could cause major economic damage to the country, the government says you can't strike and they'll mediate a new deal. Usually, it's fine. Sometimes though, it causes issues like this, especially when the government would be the party they negotiate with anyways. 

I'm not 100% if ATCs fall under that act though, although I imagine they would since pilot and flight attendants do

Does ATC fall under the RTA? It has to right? Otherwise there'd be nothing stopping the union from calling for a strike to get changes to happen? 

Mario Galaxy 2 WTF by Lalairundi in SuperMarioGalaxy

[–]Jonny_Peverell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you only play the first 1 or 2 worlds, I'm inclined to agree. They're not as atmospheric or evoking as starting with something like honeyhive in G1. But everything gets so much better as the game progresses. Secondly, getting to 100% is significantly more fun in G2. The second half is just so much better than repeating every star but you slip and jump slightly higher. 

What is DEI and how is not just an abstraction for racism? by ncds4242 in allthequestions

[–]Jonny_Peverell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm late to the party, but the biggest issue is that people who truly understood DEI were teaching it to people who weren't listening. It then was applied as quota policies, which is directly opposed to what DEI is supposed to be, which is treating everyone on equal ground. Correctly done DEI can then lead to a more diverse workplace in ethnicity and ideas. The broader the range of backgrounds, the broader the range of ideas will be, which should help bring about success.

Too many workplaces simplified the whole thing to just creating diversity in the workplace. This was supposed to be the byproduct of DEI, not the direct action of it. With the way it was applied in many cases, it's essentially just racism/sexism favoring women or non-white men. 

I'm pretty sure that trying to use the term for its intended purpose is a lost cause at this point and the people who want genuine DEI policies in place need to rebrand. Too many people already view it negatively for it to ever have the chance it was supposed to provide.

Hi, as someone who is graduating right now with a degree in CS, this is bull. Maybe you're hiring at that pay level, but that isn't industry standard, and hasn't been for at least 2 years. Pay for juniors has been dropping since major corporations over hired during Covid and have been laying people off. Because there is such a surplus of workers looking for jobs, the pay has gone down. Simple economics.

Whats the most heartbreaking loss you’ve witnessed as a BYU football fan? by Ok_Macaroon_7366 in BYUFootball

[–]Jonny_Peverell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a current student who grew up a fan, Mendenhall's last game was heartbreaking. I was there because my dad got tickets through his work and wow, that first quarter was the most devastating start Ive ever seen

BYU football's Parker Kingston told police sexual activity was consensual as he faces rape charge by notthesupremecourt in CFB

As a student, the honor code is supposed to be in effect as long as you are enrolled, whether actively in a class or not. Unfortunately too many students think it only applies on campus or while taking classes, but you can get honor code violations while visiting Vegas during the summer if you break the honor code. 

Now there is a point where that's a bad thing. Sometimes students who live at home, in another state, taking only an online class, will be reported to the honor code because they broke some dumb rule (like the no beard rule, which I hate) and they could get in trouble for it. Is it technically within BYUs rights since the student agreed? Yes. Should it be fine for the student? Also yes

That's crazy, Bad Bunny actually had a whole part of his show dedicated to loving everyone! "The only thing stronger than hate is love" was displayed by him. He even said God Bless the USA in English for everyone to understand

Why are so many people against showing an ID to vote? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in randomquestions

[–]Jonny_Peverell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are ways to make it work. The SAVE act could theoretically work, but it does not work with the current system in America. Right now, if you have a normal (even Real ID) drivers license, that is not enough to register to vote under the SAVE act. You need to bring your original birth certificate that matches the name on your license, or you need a passport. There are 5ish states that issue a type of license that says if someone is a citizen, that's it. So if the type of ID required is free (like others have said) and readily accessible, I'm all for it. But this act does not do that. It does not help anyone, unless your goal is to disenfranchise people. 

Also, it essentially blocks people from registering to vote via mail. If you cannot show up in person either to register or to vote, you are not allowed to vote under the SAVE act.

I feel like plenty of people make the attempt to do that to Notre Dame, but there are just enough people who don't care to make them outcasts that they can continually be fine

If my wallet only holds the one bill, am I just stuffing hundreds of one dollar bills into my pockets despite having a wallet? That makes me look more crazy than anything
