> They say it's the 'me' generation. It's not. The arrogance is taught, or it was cultivated. It's self-conscious. That's what it is. It's conscious of self. Social media - it's just the market's answer to a generation that demanded to perform, so the market said, here - perform. Perform everything to each other, all the time, for no reason. It's prison - it's horrific. It's performer and audience melded together. What do we want more than to lie in our bed at the end of the day and just watch our life as a satisfied audience member. I know very little about anything. But what I do know is that if you can live your life without an audience, you should do it.
I've used 8020 to custom-fab my Perfect Monitor Stand: it holds either three widescreen or two ultra-wide displays, has two attachment points to the desk, and has the minimum possible depth to keep the monitors as far as possible towards the back of the desk. It wasn't cheap, but it's solved basically all of my monitor layout issues.
I'm always amused at how little cross-promotion Marshall does - he has decently large followings in two completely different contexts and most of them are completely unaware of each other.
Especially since this YouTube channel might be bringing him more money than anything else now. I only knew about this since LSV brought it up during an LR episode on Marshall's background
What I only realized today is that his watch restoration channel has more subscribers than the official Magic: The Gathering YouTube channel now. That's insane.
One of my former colleagues who was always in charge of publishing our team's performance testing results was a complete hardass on the rest of us for using proper language around multipliers and superlatives. It's well worth the clarity to avoid precisely this situation.
A lot of athletic contracts would forbid athletes from playing other sports or doing certain other strenuous activities - they were designed partially to try to avoid players injuring themselves doing something other than their contracted sport, and partially to prevent players earning money off their image outside of their team.
Jordan had a clause specifically exempting him from any restrictions around playing basketball - by his contract, he could play basketball in any league, or even any scrimmage, exhibition, or pickup game.
