How the fuck are you supposed to apply for an academy for a profession where they already require you to have prior knowledge and skill for it when you want to fucking learn it? I want to study to become a 2D animator and the requirements literally require me to make a fucking short film even though I have not been taught how to before. And I cannot find any private tutoring for 2D animation so I can actually prepare to apply.

Silly.

tbh i think ur getting brainwormed by capital. even if it is amateur I think if you put love into it theyll understand. although a fucking short film is a lot of work. Although Id do more research to see if the pathway of classes and teachers themselves will be helpful to you specifically bc a lot of artists say its a scam but the ones saying its a scam are also the artists advertising their personalized online course to get you ready for an industry they have not been part of for 5 years bc its more lucrative being an online teacher than in the actual industry

>>752
like theres a lot of materiel you can show by doing a short film. like storyboarding, how your concept evolved from rough to final, color, etc etc. You should probably ask is it an actual short film or more like an animatic? I think they want you to show your skills of critical thinking and problem solving more than your talent bc well talent is the result of critical thinking and if you somehow show evidence of that thinking and solving in your process, no matter how shotty it looks itll gain some merit. although your complaints still do make sense since who tf has time for that. its demoralizing.

oh shit uyghur why did you decide to become an artist? you should have studied medicine like you were told

>>759
Fucking this. I love it when people who have a knack for medicine or engineering or have family connections to those fields decide to throw it away for some non essential career and get pissed about costs and "slop".

We need to stop putting professional arts&craft on the same level of necessity as medicine and engineering.

I realized that the daycare industry is a single point of failure that could cause a shockwave of strikes. Most of the adult population becomes parents at some point. Parents need their kids to be in daycare between 1 and 4 years old so they can actually go to work and get shit done. Daycare is privatized in the USA and the daycare workers don't have very good unions. But I think if the daycare workers got organized, and went on a massive strike, it would make most parents unable to go to work, because they would need to stay home and watch their kids. This could create a domino effect leading to huge labor unrest in many other areas. I'm also thinking sanitation, electrical, and transportation workers need to strike. There will be a lot of suffering but this could lead to revolution. Not all sectors are equal when it comes to cascading effects of labor unrest. There are some areas that are way more likely to cause a domino effect than others. You feel?

You need to have money to pay for daycare, and petty bourgs have class solidarity with each other. They are able to selectively choose small and local businesses for daycare.

Is keftypol really just a bunch of 14 year olds?

I think that "millions of people should unionize and strike" is not really a plan.

>>299
Are you implying you need to be petty booj to afford daycare? It's like 250/month for one kid at the cheaper ones where I live. 125 from each parent. Some self described "reserveless proles" spend that much on weed or booze each month. nearly all families get daycare these days because both mom and dad need to work during the day to make ends meet and they can't get jobs where they never see each other and take turns watching the kid. This is especially true when the kid is old enough for daycare (1 or 2 years old) but not old enough to be a "latchkey kid" (5-10 depending on how much you trust them).

the last time the minimum wage was raised was Obama's first term

~$1200 before taxes if you get 32 hours
i did apply to these jobs bc that's the position im in atm, yet i always hear "everything starts at $20 nowadays, we don't need to raise the min wage"

Stop applying for bullshit parasite jobs. Lower wages and no contribution to social-aggregate product, the semi-proletarian retail service worker is distinct from proletariat. Assembly line wages make far higher wages because they actually produce value.

Also posted in >>>/tech/29372 because I wasn't sure which board was more suitable…


I've had this idea for a while of a piece of software that aggregates Labor News from all of the world, and allows the user to sort them by country, type of news (labor strike, union busting, laws passed/repealed, settlements reached, cooperative formed, etc.) It would do this for each and every country and do this only for News platforms that are written from a pro-labor perspective (so you don't end up with a bunch of RadioFreeAsia type crap).

Is this a naive idea? Open to ruthless criticism. I know people already use RSS feeds for this kind of thing but I'm thinking of something a little more specific. Right now the burger thread has a "strike feed" but it's maintained by Cornell university, only covers the USA, and is excruciatingly slow to use.

So apparently Marx when it came to the Irish claimed that they drove wages down. He also argued that the most dire effect was in dividing (due to chauvinism, and material concerns) the working-class stifling their ability to organize together against their oppressor. He called this "the secret of the impotence of the English working class." They also dip into the literature and emphasize that being undocumented significantly depreciates wages, among other things.

Every compromise you make is just a betrayal against the self
Take me for example. I was so impressed with the takedown of 4chan i legitimately thought soyjak party could listen to reason. We'd prove mods just don't need to exist and I'd introduce beareaucratic socialism to them to ween them off the drug of transhumanist janny tyranny where like
>you just delete posts not ban
>someone oversees you before you delete the post and/or you pay crypto to permit the post deletion

Instead, i get jannied and defamed while so. Of course i do. All mods need a bat to the head. There's no reasoning with them, no bargaining, no prioritizing. That's how you have to face all challenges is a fucking bat until the thing against you stops moving

Mafia involvement in unions made them less effective, not more effective. The mafia are among the most bloodthirsty and reactionary cross-section of the petty bourgeoisie and lumpenproletariat. They take over unions in order to give their sons "no-show" jobs, spy on the labor movement for the FBI in exchange for reduced sentences for horrible crimes they did, and in general skim union dues for their coke and hooker habits. Cosa Nostra are scumbags who will kidnap and rape your daughter and then turn her out as a hooker. They're the worst of the worst. A lot of Mafia guys were pro Italian fascism. And they're in bed with the worst crooks in the film industry which constantly pumps out shitty media to make them look relatable and cool.

I wouldn't be surprised if mafia infiltration of unions was a long term goal of the intelligence apparatus in the US state in order to ruin the reputation of unions by associating them with organized crime.

Listen to these deconstructions of union depictions in Hollywood movies

RISE AND GRIND FUCKBOYS WE GOT MONEY TO MAKE

How do you convince yourself that the epidemic of NEETDOM is not inherent to the system itself? We ostracize youth from society by putting them in dormitory communities where they will be raised by small and often fragile communities away from any space where they can socialize properly, constantly have to see children moved around from place to place throughout their education killing off any bonds they form with their community around them, and then suddenly bombard them with an endless chore list (sometimes literal) of responsibilities they have to fill out ALONE until they die just to be considered a functioning adult, and then bombard them with even more demands for work that ask of them to take care of their employers despite having zero experience and sometimes even training about whatever career they were likely forced to pursue over their own interests?

There is never a clear point where anybody is meaningfully supported to grow into a mature adult in our society that demands more of them. People like Cyraxx and asmongold don’t exist in a vacuum. They’re created and left to grow in numbers. Barely any parenting, barely any government support, barely any reaffirmation from peers, constant competition, and an endless sludge fest of consumer garbage to infantilize people in mass and were wondering why there are so many man children these days.

>>710
>Fragile communities away from any space where they can socialize properly.
Hadn't heard such a position before.
Guess it's basically restricted to lunch, halls, and "extracurriculars".
And they obviously fade away, because they're assembled on a purely temporal basis.

>Bombard them with an endless chore list to be considered an adult.
Not sure this is really so much of an issue.
There simply are many things one needs to do.

>Zero experience and sometimes even training about whatever career […] over their own interests.
This seems to me to be the crux of the matter.
If there was something one enjoyed doing which happened to make money there wouldn't be a problem at all.
There's clearly a problem in presenting and developing these opportunities.

>>716
We don't raise kids into adults.
We just force them to do idle busywork with no worldly training.
There's no classes for financial education, home cooking, basic home repair, etc.

Society think academic skills are the ultimate replacement for common sense, social skills, and blue collar skills.

Along the same lines, work as an independent contractor or self employed if you can and then you can write off your normal daily expenses for taxes by claiming them as a business expense.

All thats needed to fend of the IRS leeches is some bs paperwork proving it was a business expense. And save some extra money from the taxes youre saving on in the future. That way if you ever do get audited, you can buy a fancy lawywer to fend off the leeches. In the end you'll still be net positive depriving defenseporkies of your tax dollars, be a true a patriot and avoid your taxes.

>>431
Also pay the statement balance on the credit card every month to avoid interest. Never pay the minimum only as they rape you with taxes on that. You can pay the full balance if you have the money, but theres no real additional benefit over paying the statement balance.

If you ever get hit with a fee, call the fucks and threaten to cancel the card and theyll usually waive it. Ive had 100s waived in fees and interest before if you just act like you forgot to check.

>>432
Also learn how to do basic maintenance and repairs yourself and you can save a few hundred. Its not hard to change fluids, just get those fucking car ramps and some jack safeties and unscrew the drain plug, change the oil filter and top-off. There are manuals for your car you can find online to help.

Mechanics dont do anything special and half the time they fuck up more than they do a proper job. Just do it yourself.

Or if youre in an area with low/slow car traffic get a scooter. My insurance for the scooter is literally 35$ for the YEAR.

>Fortunately this isn't really the case, but if it is it's exactly the problem.
It's to the extent to which they're non-industrial that they're able to create beyond the myopic views of industry.
If it did serve industry, industry would need to reinvent it as something separate from it.

On the individual level it's this non-industrial attitude gives freedom, and with it meaning to the enterprise.
What meaning can there be in a world in which decisions are made by an impersonal dictatorial force.
When will we escape the totalitarian logic of rationality, of economics, and be free.

How do I find the job in my field if I have been out of college for years and have no relevant experience? I would like something in a public or non-profit sector, where I could do social science research or data analytics. But like I dont think I have much of a chance of getting hired into entry level position if they could take a fresh collage graduate with intership experience. Is there anything I can do? I cant bear being stuck in dead end nightmare I am at now.

data analytics is cooked because of all the retards who made day in the life tiktok vids about it. there are no jobs left and its oversaturated, do something else

I want to learn some basic data skills but have no foundation.

I've seen things like The Wizard Book, Rust, LISP, R-something (used a lot in science?), Python (apparently old now and there's something newer Paul Cockshott uses?)…

I just want to be able to bash things together to prove points on the fly.

But I did Arts as a degree and theatre through school so I'm cooked ;_;

>I want to learn some basic data skills but have no foundation.
Half the stuff you listed is for programming (and good fun if you're up for it) more than for data analytics. The tools used in data analysis are SAS, Tableau, PowerBI, or Excel (pick one), R, or Python (pick one), and SQL. The basic foundational skill is some introductory statistics.

>bash things together to prove points on the fly.
The problem would probably be getting data for this. You might be better off just learning stats to make inferences from scientific articles.

>>647
Just learn Excel or LibreOffice Calc.
