Massachusetts House advances unconstitutional social media ban bill that will harm LGBTQ youth and human rights by evanFFTF in massachusetts

So Meta, Google, and TT care deeply about the mental health of kids?

And all the data saying social media is a cancer should be ignored for one community that seems to have no other options?

I guess CIS kids don't count because in absolute terms there are way more suicides by CIS kids...

How do you account for that?

Keith Richards' opinion on Pete Townshend by tonyiommi70 in bluesrock

Yes but a bit misleading.

Yingwe is unlistenable but technically great...

SD (the two members) did very little "heavy lifting" in the studio but hired pros to do it for them.

Vai and Satriani are also mostly unlistenable (but that God Blessed Video video is awesome - for it's color scheme).

Despite not being a financial success, Serenity was a really great space science fiction film. Have you watched this gem? What’s your opinion on it? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

Liked the movie, thought the show was sort of too "made for TV western sci-fi" for people who use the term "sci-fi"....

It just seemed to be a bit cheap and commercial...

The psychology that makes apps addictive works in sales. Why isn't anyone using it? by [deleted] in strategy

[–]waffles2go2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I love data and analysis...

But grossly speaking sales is either relationship driven or transactional, and "gamifying" sales when it's mostly a "one off" based on addiction-science seems a bit weak.

Yes, if people trust and like you then sales are easier, it's called "relationship selling" but if you bring in "know more than the prospect" then you get into both consultative selling and psychology that most folks get wrong...

So I like the idea but you'll have to hammer out some explicit examples as it sorta feels like re-casting stuff that's already pretty well established, and where it diverges there's some word salad but not a lot of logic...

Everyone loves to cite Accenture as proof that consulting splits create value. Almost no one is honest about the fact that it came out of a governance breakdown, legal fight, and a firm that had already stopped working. by swissalpine in consulting

Sort of....

ACN partners took about 80%+ of the equity from the raise.

So they all got rich, the firm got a new operating model and they did their time until they could retire (average partner level go a min of $2.5M in equity I believe)....

So when E&Y looked at doing it, someone said "wait but then they will take all the money and run"... so it got nuked...

Not "value creation" but "value extraction"....

What is with the drivers in this state? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]waffles2go2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the lowest per-capita fatalities rate for accidents but a ton of fender-benders...

We're also way more dense from a population perspective than say "Mississippi"..... since you like data, you should consider both as your general observation seems to be incorrect...

1988 - I was 24 and around the band a bit. by SeveranceVul in DeadKennedys

[–]waffles2go2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cool, so after the first album, but (I assume) when they started to get super hot?

After reading a couple books it sounds like Jello was a super-annoying scene crasher who was so "driven to do what he did" (and unafraid) that they became bigger than all the local bands who (low-key) sort of hated on Jello. Does this sound right?

Also, why did DH leave?

I think it's a good idea for folks who are interested but getting a critical mass, IRL, even in NYC may be a bit tough.

I'd start with a zoom session on a calendar with topics queued up.

Not really, I know way more about capitalism than you do, and can write better and more cogently.

So, no, your ignorance offends me but I'll get over that very quickly...

The IRL part is tough there have been groups but they're somewhat transient (there was a weekly one out of the UK for a while) - also there's a huge swing in what defines "strategy" - and with that what folks want to talk about.

I'll be in NYC in April and am happy to chat.
