This documentary is up there with the Making of The Long Night featurette from Game of Thrones in the “why the fuck would you release this labour violation lawsuit evidence file as a documentary?” list.
The mismanagement and disrespect of the crews is so evident in both and yet the people in charge released them as a way to show themselves as amazing and triumphant in the face of adversity, seemingly oblivious to the fact that they are in fact the very adversity that needs to be triumphed against by their overworked, underpaid employees.
Also I shouldn’t have to say there’s research about this, but there’s research about this (mostly in the healthcare field but I’d be shocked if it wasn’t generalizable). A very strong indicator of burnout is how futile someone feels their work is. Humans do not react well at all to doing work which doesn’t feel like it has a purpose.
There’s a reason this poor animator is so desperately trying to convince herself it will work out. Because I’ll bet the moment she couldn’t anymore, burnout would be on the horizon. Making people do futile work, or mismanaging them to the point where they perceive the work as futile, should be a labor rights problem all on its own.
the les miz movie documentary is exactly like this. watching the orchestra try to record accompaniment for singers who, rather than singing to a click track (basically a metronome) or backing track to follow, had the accompanist follow play to them, so the orchestra has to follow people singing very beat, is GENUINELY TRAGIC
Graceful degradation is the ability of a computer, machine, electronic system or network to maintain limited functionality even when a large portion of it has been destroyed or rendered inoperative. The purpose of graceful degradation is to prevent catastrophic failure. (Tech Target, first result on the search engine)
Literal opposite of planned obsolescence. I love you graceful degradation.
I’m gonna keep repeating myself that I really think the entire pro life movement exists so that American conservatives can have one single issue that lets them assume a moral high ground, to distract from the fact that their entire ideology is completely hostile to human life.
she really read “i ignore infant mortality rates in the poorest states” and agreed.
“really think the entire pro life movement exists so that American conservatives can have one single issue that lets them assume a moral high ground,”
The entire concept that abortion was a horrible sin was a callous move by a handful of Evangelical leaders to create a lynchpin issue that would allow different theological branches to unite behind right-wing politicians.
Here’s the thing. In their natural state, the various denominations hate each other. And rightly so, since the maximum number of denominations that can be right is one. Those little disagreements on the details, prior to the invention of the greater enemy of abortion, were enough to schism over. The religious couldn’t be a powerful political block because it was always one true faith and a hundred-thousand heretical paths, with no one denomination having a secure majority.
But by putting abortion as a big moral evil that needed to be corrected, they could get the Catholics and Protestants to cooperate. It gives them a shorthand to say that the Republicans are the “godly” party. It lets them talk about candidates’ faith out in the open without every rival sect worrying that they’ll enact heresy into law.
This bigger enemy strategy is behind every moral panic, be it the satanic panic, the anti-gay panics, anti-trans movement we’re seeing now, all of it. It’s a useful tool for antisemitism and racism. It’s designed to activate the “good everyday believers” who don’t consider themselves extremists but will still vote to support them because they’re “good men of faith.”
The abortion issue, like everything that comes from that well, is a cynical power grab for wealth and power at the core.
Hi! This is @cordate-chordata. Idk if you got my dm I sent you - if you did, you can ignore it. I was asking if you could send me the photo of your friend's doggo again because I hadn't saved it, but then I noticed I still had the pic open in another tab ^^ Here's a sketch I drew. Do you think you and your friend'll like the end result this'll turn into?
we have this app called toogoodtogo where restaurants/cafes/bakeries/hotels and so on sell their leftovers for really cheap to reduce foodwaste
i got all of this for €4 from starbucks
bless
The America version is called FoodForAll
I love TooGoodToGo all of this sushi cost me £3.50 (the chinese food cost me £3.59)
YOOOOOOO, they’re formalizing this?!?!
I used to do community service at a community breakfast, we’d go to the local Safeway and get all their stale bread, the local bakery for their stale baked goods and whatnot.
They throw away so much food it’s ridiculous, I’m glad someone finally created a program like this!
The American app isn’t available everywhere but if you’re broke in NY or Boston, check it out!
The US app logo currently looks like this and was last updated 3 weeks ago (as of January 25th 2020)
TooGoodToGo is available in many European countries, including the UK, much of Scandinavia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Italy and the Iberian peninsula.
In Canada we have flash food, I dont know if it’s just confined to loblaw stores but you can get food that stores have to throw out for dirt cheap
I know I reblogged this once already but I’m back to say there’s an Australian version!
YWaste has been around since 2017 apparently, so they’re quite well established if you’re Australian and in need of options
