I useto have a video up on how to quickly keyhole flap skin a barramundi, purely to show a former apprentice of mine how to do it.

I posted and completely forgot about it, then randomly checked it a few years later and it had views in the over 500,000 range.

My other videos(similar things for the same reason), were on 10-15 views haha.

It was very confusing to me, and I always wondered what would happen if I'd made a decent try at making instructional videos, in the end I just deleted the account in one of my anti-youtube moments.

So hopefully that gives you insight into a similar reaction from someone in a similar position.

Thanks! Old school wvw player here too. I'm so damn tempted. It looks so good, but it seems as if I'm rolling the dice as if it will work for me haha.

I think though it seems as if throwing a new account their way would help. The more money the more Dev time and all that.

Cheers

God's sorry to side track but I have been looking for someone who has tried this game.

It looked so good I was going to pledge today but my PC died last night.

Do you think they will actually get there? I loved the idea and what I had seen.

I saw the same thing when working at the docks in Melbourne (forklift driver for 6 months). The check-in had a few cards for people who I had never met, but we're on my schedule (less than 50-100 onsite per day and I was involved in warehouse organisation which required me to pass out location sheets to other drivers).

Eventually I got to speaking with the site manager and I mentioned in passing the cards. He clammed up immediately and I shrugged it off.

A few months later after I left, the manager and I were having a beer and grouching about that site and he told me that those cards were for the local .. well mafia for lack of a better word. They were clocked in by a senior member every day, and clocked out at the end, the pay cheques were sent off and as a result we never had any break ins.

Crazy.

It opened my eyes up a lot and over the years since then I have seen similar things in a few other industries, eg in Japan and hospitality we had a very friendly grandpa style gentleman visit the restaurant once a month, hand over a receipt to the manager and she paid him some cash. Turns out he was Yakuza and that was our payment for the month

As mentioned by others (and I'm a very experienced chef and restaurant manager). You need to pay higher.

It's not sustainable? Pfft you think anyone else is magically getting cheaper? Raise your prices and cut your overhead, welcome to the game.

That's not a fair argument.

If there were many companies offering the same pay, with a higher ratio of offerings to applicants than yes that would be applicable.

I'd your trying to say that they can sign away their rights than that is a different argument.

Pay and rights arnt/shouldnt be interchangeable, I'll work for you for X money but there isn't an amount that will make me give uo my rights.

Why? Well someone else will undercut that , and then they will be undercut and you eventually end up with no rights.

How the fuck did they carve that out.

No one should ever be able to contract away a right.

That's bullshit. One step of signing away a right is a direct slope to slavery.

Better of shit options is leaving us all fucked.

It's like a fucking litany. I love you ff, but....

Don't fuck me over but....

I swear to the gods if there was one decent browser that wasn't fucking FF...

It's quite maddening. The only thing I've done with JavaScript is tracking customers, even if they sent logged in.

Now I'm a very unique slice, I only take quick contracts from upwork and such as I don't have the pedigree to get a proper job in coding.

You may have a (rather long winded :-p) point there, but a white collar worker has a lot more options than a blue collar.

Easier to replace a forklift driver than a coder.

But don't let that make you think, that I don't realise it's also difficult for a white collar. I've been there. I wish I had stayed. I just ask that when. You guys are feeling that pressure, to spare a though as to what tools and such you can do to help us down here.

I've read through this multiple times and I am just missing your point.

I am not US based nor a faang worker.

My point was about how difficult it is for a blue collar worker to push back against anything, and while I appreciate that it may be difficult for you, or any other programmer, have a look at us lower slobs as well.

You strike? Okay discussion? We strike? We get attacked physically and online with groups we cannot help but be drown out by

Really what did JavaScript bring us? (And there goes my points!)

I want to search for information and share information with people.

I don't want any more from the net. It feels like what we want is being surpassed by those who want to monetise us.

What I use to do as read through the newspaper to learn about issues and events that may not effect me personally.

Then I'd look up another source to get a counter point.

I'm not sure if it's because I'm older and more jaded, or news sources are becoming less information baring and more position pushing, but I am just cutting off my news now.

I'm reading through these first level comments and just wondering how the hell anyone here would react to a non-white collar job.

Now to put this into perspective, I agree with most of you! But the freedom you guys have (quit, say noz find a new job) etc just won't work for the rest of us.

I'm not saying this to look down on you guys, just trying to give a different perspective if this wasn't a white collar job

Edit: I will reply, but I'm about to start work and I won't finish for another 13 hours (30 mins still left on my daily transit)
