And they won't stop until it's 100%. You Trumpers won. All I can say is I hope you have the day you voted for.

My one consolation is that Trump is taking away your Medicare.

What exactly is the scam besides a little bit of engagement bait?

More importantly everything in the post is stuff that gig slop companies have been caught doing on multiple occasions.

That's why it's not surprising if it was AI generated because the AI is going to take a little bit of everything that it finds on the internet from otherwise reliable sources and mix it into a slurry. So what you're seeing here is a bunch of associate press articles turned into a post. The articles would have been about other gig slop companies and what they got caught doing but the AI would have just mixed them all together.

How much of the difference in earnings is due to the unwarranted expectation that every applicant to every position have a college degree? There are plenty of jobs that have no rational requirement for higher education, but you won't be considered if you don't have a degree.

My degree has helped me... well, argue with strangers on the internet I guess. I studied poli-sci, economics and philosophy. I work for a small MSP.

I enjoyed it but probably could have put the time and money to better use.

You should be right, but there is what I'm now calling an unhealthy and unwarranted expectation that applicants to pretty much any position have a college degree. Jobs that didn't require one when you were born now do require one despite the absence of a legitimate need for one. And that may account for the entire difference in future earnings.

Which means that the value of a degree is that people will read your resume, even if the job didn't require a college degree 40 years ago and rationally doesn't require one now.

An unhealthy and unwarranted expectation is the value of a degree.

If only 20% of students pay the sticker price, why have it? How about just not lying anymore?

I think you'd be surprised at just how great the difference is.

You mean the 1780's, right? At least so far as lawyers are concerned. Well, maybe 1797, when a lawyer named John Adams became President.
Whether bankers are friends, enemies, or a necessary evil has been an open question throughout our history.

Because if it's one thing the United Kingdom has a shortage of it's workers looking for good-paying jobs. Clearly we need more automation.

And why should we take the chance that we'd be putting an official stamp on human trafficking just to import sex workers on the basis that they're really good at it?

Oh, and here's a kicker that hadn't crossed my mind until just now - why do they need a work visa? Their job can be performed from anywhere. They don't need to come to the US in order to perform in front of a camera, they already did that. The only part of a porn star's job that they can't do where they were is the one people don't often admit exists - they're hookers. Porn stars engage in prostitution all the time. What kind of work is a foreign porn star going to perform in the US? Probably not the legal kind they didn't have to buy a plane ticket to do.

I'm sorry, did you want to defend human trafficking, pornography, or just pretend that I'm a virgin?

Here I say that I'm worried women are being forced into being sex slaves, and you're inventing neuroses for me. I didn't say anything about porn being good or bad, I didn't say anything about sex being good or bad (I remember it being good, but I'm married), but I did say that porn actors are not "extraordinary talents". And I will continue to say it, no matter what other beliefs you'd like to invent for me.

Sex is ordinary. The ability to do it well before a camera is something of a talent. But extraordinary? No. I've seen plenty of porn, and "extraordinary" has never been a term I've used to describe anything I saw. "Extra-hot-nasty", maybe.

To do a lot more than just simple documents. They want full-on applications with lots of features. Remember the 80/20 rule. 80% of your users only use 20% of your features but it's a different 20% for every user.

So yeah capitalism does fuck things up here. Also capitalism isn't allowed to function anymore. There is no competition to speak of because there's no antitrust law enforcement.

But in addition to that a modern web browser is basically an operating system in itself. There is literally no application you couldn't write for a web browser as a platform.

So they suck for the same reason that operating systems suck. It's a complex system with shitloads of features and a diverse user base.

If we had proper competition that was regulated by a proper government than there would be a lot less shit because well, capitalism would be able to do its job and deliver an improved product. But that ship sailed 25 years ago when we elected George Bush Jr and he shut down the Microsoft antitrust investigation...

There's a market for whatever you look like, and probably for skill level as well. And yes, there are those who are much better at doing it on screen than others, but how much of that is the performer's own fetishism? There are plenty of exhibitionists.

They aren't artists, porn isn't art, and even if any of them are "extraordinarily" good at it, I don't see how that justifies an artist's visa. Rsilvergun and I have found a rare point of agreement - this is human trafficking with an excuse.

Whether or not they were relatively well done aside, they were still clip shows. Regardless of how they are framed, writers throw those in when they're out of ideas and desperately need filler. And I remember getting pretty sick of them.

A quick check of the fan wiki says there were 5 SG-1 clip shows, averaging one every other season.
