If they do manage to make it through, what do they value the most next?</p> <p>What do high school kids who are missing a crucial year of socialization want next? Etc. We're all pretending like this major world-changing pandemic isn't happening because it's too hard to grok the reality. People active on social media may be in more denial about that than people that don't participate much or not at all.</p> <p>I do imagine that being in food lines has become a new normal to many when it was shocking to their ego at first  Suggests the idea of basic minimum income is not anathema to as many as it used to be.</p> <p>It is worldwide. Some of the people I follow on Twitter in the UK seem to be cracking from the latest lockdown. Lots of black humor to deal with it.</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 24 Feb 2021 19:46:56 +0000 artappraiser comment 301115 at http://dagblog.com Here's the way I think: I can http://dagblog.com/comment/301113#comment-301113 <a id="comment-301113"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/301090#comment-301090">Speaking of home cooking...?</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Here's the way I think: I can't change culture change. It is what it is. What's going on now?</p> <p> Fancy jobs have lost prestige, now especially after Covid. It is what it is and could change again.</p> <p>But right now people like women are doing the work they used to hire others to do and getting used to it. That means those others are out of work! Plus, there's less interest in making money from high-paying jobs and more interest in making money from "gambling". Many people are finding ways to "get by" when they thought they had to stay on a certain hamster wheel.</p> <p>The interest in fancy Ivy diplomas, though, goes against my suppositions, surprised me. What are the people applying for them expecting to do with the credentials is the question.</p> <p>Of course this is temporary, as these things always are. I.E., The only constant is change.</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 24 Feb 2021 19:28:46 +0000 artappraiser comment 301113 at http://dagblog.com Speaking of home cooking...? http://dagblog.com/comment/301090#comment-301090 <a id="comment-301090"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/link/he-cooked-heart-potatoes-man-accused-heinous-triple-murder-oklahoma-33946">‘He Cooked the Heart with Potatoes’: Man Accused of Heinous Triple Murder in Oklahoma</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Speaking of home cooking...?</p> <p> </p><div class="media_embed"> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" height="" width=""> <p dir="ltr" lang="en" xml:lang="en">“84% of working women told ForbesWoman that staying home to raise children is a financial luxury they aspire to...more than 1 in 3 resent their partner for not earning enough to make that dream a reality.” <a href="https://t.co/9x3RNFHrML">https://t.co/9x3RNFHrML</a></p> — Rob Henderson (@robkhenderson) <a href="https://twitter.com/robkhenderson/status/1364285050834079748?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 23, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="" charset="utf-8" height="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" width=""></script></div> </div></div></div> Wed, 24 Feb 2021 06:35:16 +0000 PeraclesPlease comment 301090 at http://dagblog.com I watched Seven Psychopaths http://dagblog.com/comment/301065#comment-301065 <a id="comment-301065"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/301064#comment-301064">Obviously should have been</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>I watched Seven Psychopaths last night.
