“I think my human is broken”
Counterpoint:
The Wholefoods in Redmond, Wa is known as Hellfoods by their employees because of how cold people are there and how overbearing management can be. It also is in one of the most beautiful parts of the country. When I worked there, I love the warm summer evenings when I could go out to the outfield to fetch a cart because I got to be outside and no longer under the micromanagement that is retail.
When I would clock off, sometimes I’d nab a cart and send it out on purpose for the guy behind me to give them an escape.
Gotta say, there is no high like going freelance and actually making it work. Fuck employers.
If anyone is wondering, this is the C6/9 chord shown on sheet music, a keyboard, and guitar tablature. I have started using the 6/9 chords a lot since they are just so warm and cozy.
A “6/9” chord means that when playing a triad (a chord with 3 notes), you would add the 6th and the 9th note in the scale that the chord is in. So for instance, the key of C has neither sharps nor flats, so C major is [C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C]. To make a C major triad, we take the 1st, 3rd, and 5th note of the series and play them together [C, E, G]. To make this a 6/9 chords, we add the 6th and 9th, so [C, E, G, A, and D].
The sequence in the major scale I provided has only 8 notes in it, so to make a note the 9th, you are just taking the 2nd and popping it up an octave. In this case, D is both the 2nd and 9th, but we say the 9th because we want to have that D on the high end of the note and really sing out!
In the article they noted this was the same for millennials and gen x before them. I’m going to assume the standard for youths purchasing cars was with the baby boomer generation. I know my dad told me when he was young, you would purchase a cool car that didn’t work for the equivalent of $100 dollars, get a friend to tow it home, then work on it for a few weeks to get it running. He told me how much he missed his MG Midget, which let’s recognize as a cool ass car for a kid to have. He could fix that car with a wrench, a stick of butter, and a deck of cars*. All his friends would be doing the same.
Nowadays it would be a $1k junker, and you’d need to have a computer science degree to fix the onboard computer while having all the specific tools to get into their proprietary parts. There are older cars too, but the standard of fixing a car has increased, all the while each generation has less time and money to do it.
- This was a typo, but I love this typo. You say deck of cards, I say deck of cars, Thank you @otp@sh.itjust.works !
As someone who’s self employed, I feel like self employment is a form of rebellion against this system.
My dad teases me that his socialist son is now a capitalist because I give music lessons and host events. I’m pretty sure I’m not because I don’t profit from the labor of someone else, I do all the work and anyone who helps me isn’t existentially tied to me.
Ace Hardware is where you find frustrated tenants who decided it would just be easier to fix the sink themselves rather than deal with the landlord
Hello, I’m meep_launcher, and I’m a recovering moderator.
Not only did my tools get taken, after the mass exedus, my mod queue exploded. There were so many more racist reports than before, and I was mod of a political satire subreddit.
Turns out the exedus took all the left leaning redditors leaving behind real pieces of work.
Glad I made the switch, and I set up cartographyanarchy here, so maybe I can get back to doing what I love, shitposting maps.
One more edit, I want to get this community up and running, so if you post in the next 24 hours I will write your map a song and post the link in the comments.
Oh also DM if you want to be a mod! Definitely looking for folks skilled in the art of Lemmy, coding, or just being all around wholesome.
I’m tired of figuring out what’s gay or straight. I just wanna fuck in peace.
