French philosopher Jean Baudrillard once wrote about the effects of private telematics on the living subject (preferably metropolitan or suburban, like the majority of this sub and myself), and I've always found his account acutely prescient,

"today one's private living is conceived of as a receiving and operating area, as a monitoring screen endowed with telematic power, that is to say, with the capacity to regulate everything by remote control. Including the work process, within the prospects of telematic work performed at home, as well as consumption, play, social relations, leisure. One could conceive of simulating leisure or vacation simulations in the same way that flight is simulated for pilots [...] We know that the simple presence of a television transforms our habitat into a kind of archaic, closed-off cell, into a vestige of human relations whose survival is highly questionable."

Jean Baudrillard, The Ecstacy of Communication, 1987:88, pp. 17-8
As the sub is aware, the sharp decline in office occupancy in our downtown finds its immediate cause in the severity of the pandemic. I believe, however, that what is underemphasized in this reorientation is the total reconsideration of the logic of business communications that's happened. In an article about the history of office buildings, published by Morgan Lovell (a British firm specializing in interior office design), there is an idea of the administrative necessity of physical centralization. The article uses historical examples to undergird this point,

"Organisations such as the Royal Navy and East India Company were established to further Britain’s interests overseas. A central base of operations needed to be built to manage their incredibly varied tasks and organisation. East India House was built in 1729 on Leadenhall Street in the City of London as the HQ from which the East India Company administered its Indian interests. Thousands of employees were based in the building to process the necessary paperwork [...] Like the Roman politicians, The East India Company understood the necessity for centralised administration, and the efficiency this brought to what was essentially a process of making and distributing vast amounts of money. In this way, many non-political organisations followed suit – such as Sir John Soane’s Four Percent Office in the Bank of England, erected in 1793."

While centralized organization seems to remain essential for modern business, this centralization is growing less dependent (through contemporary technics) on a final site in three dimensional space, whose utility has always been founded on its ability to concentrate resources and information. Urbanists will (and probably already have) descend on the post-pandemic office landscapes of D.C. to articulate the rational blunder of such a monofunctional zoning schema, and why shouldn't they? Now is the most opportune time for advocating new zoning possibilities. It ought be maintained, however, that considering this downtown contraction to simply be the result of bad zoning, is incomplete. This development is only possible through the timely innovations of communications technology, which have engendered a change in what private telematics are good for.
Simply put, the local economy in this section of town was still too predicated on the necessity of the physical presence of labor-power, for work to ensue. For a long time, the purpose of communications tech was to close interpersonal gaps, lessening relational latencies between various 'nodes' in an organizational network. A filmic example of this would probably be something like Demon lover (don't watch this with children), where you have this mobile business class who use telematics and telephonics to compensate for the fact that their physical presence is not instantaneous; a phone call to Tokyo is followed up by a business trip, &c. Furthermore, they return back to their offices, and still conceive of their itinerary as beginning and ending in the office. Personal interface was still superior, mediated interface ameliorative. This state/conception of technology still works in confluence with a "presentist" mindset that values a physical center, hence the relatively high pre-pandemic occupancy, even with more complex informing networks.
The burgeoning logic constitutive of the continued lacking occupancy is one where telematics and telephonics no longer compensate for interpersonal latencies, but totally supplant a classic conception of presence, forcing a logical reconsideration of the utility of forced travel and physical convention. Perhaps, in the vein of Jean Baudrillard and Umberto Eco, telematics offers us something BETTER than the the real of classical presence, that being the variable hyperreal of omnipresence, of being here, there, and everywhere else by way of "remote control." One of Baudrillard's great themes is the demand of capital surpassing the limits of the real, and the terrestrial real of geography becomes, as Baudrillard would later write, a "vast, useless body." In summary, what has happened in D.C. since the pandemic is precisely another instance of a larger movement in media relations, which is the making-superfluous of physical spaces, redrawing new lines of relation for business and the social reproduction of the worker.

“The country that I have spent nearly 76 years in and that I love is no longer here. I 100% put the blame on the pathetic 'thing' that is 'leading' our country. He only gives a shit about himself and power. The MINUTE he became President, he shut down the Keystone Pipeline and opened the border. More than ten million illegals from all over the world have come through the border, not legally at border crossings, but wherever they could cut fence, take down the wall, cut through razor wire, ANY WAY THEY COULD GET IN! The border patrol 'process them' except for God knows how many 'gotaways' that get in in the dead of night. ALL of the illegals are given cell phones and money. Crime is at an all time high. Illegals are robbing and killing people in New York City almost daily. ALL of the liberal states, as in California, have a huge homeless population with people everywhere, shitting all over the place. Liberal Cities, New York included are putting the illegals up in 5 star hotels, which they destroy. They give them money, free food, whatever they need, while the people just trying to get by are being attacked and killed, even in Time Square, almost daily. People are leaving California and New York in droves, mostly moving to Florida. Liberal States have defunded their police and most have a no bail policy. So, illegals who rob and beat and kill, are being arrested and then let back out. Normally, they go right back out and do it again. Migrants are sleeping at O'Hare airport and other airports. Residents are being asked to house illegals for $500 a month. Illegals are getting free health care, free everything while we have people that cannot afford to buy food. Over 45K in Chinese Nationals (all men) have been allowed in at the border. China does not just let military age men leave of their own accord. Wonder what they are going to do? China is buying up thousands of acres in the U.S., normally around military bases, including Oklahoma and nobody can stop it. The FBI director is warning everyone in the U.S. that all information points to Iran, Syria, etc., ARE planning on terror attacks in the U.S. Great! Biden has screwed Israel and demanded that they have a cease fire because they are killing too many people. He never mentions the innocent people that were killed in Israel on October 7th, bragging about putting babies in ovens and cutting off their heads. Israel is our biggest ally in the middle East. There are HUGE protests all over the U.S. that are against Israel. Practically EVERY college in the U.S. has protesters that basically want every Jew dead. Yale, Harvard, all of those kind of schools, along with many, many more colleges. Professors have been fired, as well as the President of Harvard resigned in January because of her condemnation of Jews, and so on and so on. As a person, Trump is not my favorite person, BUT EVERYTHING was better than it had been in a long, long time when he was President. The MINUTE Biden got in, he started undoing everything that Trump had done....and the deterioration began and continues. I could go on and type all night, but I am just telling you why I hate so much right now, but mostly our ass wipe 'leader' and all of the Democrats who support them. An illegal was caught at the Walmart in Wagoner trying to get in a woman's trunk, in WALMART! Biden promises he will raise taxes, especially on the 'rich.' They need to pay their 'fair share' even though the top 1% of taxpayers in the U.S. 45.8% of the income taxes paid, even though they only earn about 25% of the income. The top 1% of taxpayers accounted for more income taxes than the bottom 90%....and asshole wants them to pay their fair share! Illegals are breaking into homes, making up a fake lease and then squatting in the houses. Guess who has the rights? It is not the homeowners! Squatters in NYC had broken into a woman's home who had just died. Her daughter went to check on the house and was killed by two illegal squatters and put in a bag. She was found by her son. Boeing planes are having huge problems, to the point that the head of Boeing and another person resigned. While descending, a door in the exit row blew off. It had never had any bolts in it. There have been fires in engines, tires falling off right after taking off, pieces just falling off of the planes and others that I can't remember. It seems that is a weekly thing. Ask me if I would get on a plane right now, especially a Boeing, which the majority are. I could go on and on and on, but I am going to bed. Overall, prices on everything are up around 20%. People can't buy the food they need. Gas is back up. Illegals are taking over the schools to where citizens can't go or are afraid to. I am glad I am old. Going to bed. Love you guys. Aren't you glad I 'shared?' “

My ex and I still have some shared accounts (cell phone, HVAC maintenance, security camera subscription). I have been footing the bill for these services for the last 5 months as they are all under my name. She has asked that I switch them over before she reimburses the fees I’ve payed. I told her I don’t feel comfortable with any transfers until I am paid out. Now she’s accused me of coercion and contacted her lawyer. I said I’ll accept eating the loss in what I’ve paid and will cancel the accounts which will allow her to set things up however she wants.
If it matters I am located in NC

I want to get back into physics at it has been a while and I dont want to feel like I lost what I learned in college completely. Just thinking back on my exams and stuff I remember spending a lot of time just deriving equations, in particular integrals or differential equations. I know back then there were programs that could actually do symbolic math, but I was weary of them. With how far it seems like tech has come I was thinking about leveraging calculators/software that could reduce the amount of time I spend less exciting parts of derivations and maybe even double check my work as I try to refresh myself on certain topics.
In short, what would you say or recommend as far as leveraging calculators / software that could help with my goal? (P.S I like the idea of some of these graphing calculators or smaller portable devices/cell phone where I could just sit in a corner with a textbook, paper, and a small digital assistant a few minutes each day and hash things out)

I’ve seen a few people mentioning acupuncture, and I thought it might be useful for others if I share my experience. Sorry, this is a super-long post, and I’m typing on a phone.
I see my acupuncturist (Tony) every week. It’s been a pretty long trial and error to work out which day of the week to have my sessions (in relation to when I have my infusions and my side effects) to have the biggest impact on how I feel.
What works well for me: the day of the last steroids after chemo I have a session. During steroids I don’t sleep, and I can’t eat, and I feel pretty deranged🤪. With no acupuncture this takes a week or so to calm down. With acupuncture I’m fixed overnight - it catapults me into being starving hungry and I sleep about 14 hours for the next few days.
I try and time the next session for when the side effects are starting to really kick off (so fairly soon after - less than a week). Without a session I’ll still be insatiably hungry, a lot of joint pains, my sleep will be back to very disrupted and fairly short, utterly freezing all day and night, exhausted etc. After acupuncture, I’ll be jumped forward to a normal appetite, a reduction in pain, and improved sleep (but I’ll then be very hot, especially at night). As time has gone on the post-chemo pain has reduced to almost nothing. (The first couple of sessions it was so bad I couldn’t walk). Also, my neuropathy has massively reduced despite ongoing chemo - although they have reduced one chemo drug they thought was responsible for the neuropathy to 80%. However, I’m still getting progressively more exhausted.
The following week I try and time acupuncture before my blood test, and by this stage I’m usually feeling better, but whatever is going on for me physically or mentally seems to be the focus.
And then back to post-steroids🙄 I’ve only once had a session immediately after chemo to see if I can reduce the horrible impact of steriods, because of when Tony works and when my chemo happens, and I seem to remember it did work very well.
Also, in between sessions Tony has given me needles to take home with me and instructions where to use them. They’re tiny, fine pins, individually wrapped and sterile with “launching tubes”. The pin is slightly longer than the tube, so you put the tube in the right place, tap the top of the pin and it goes in. Every week I have different places to use them depending on what’s going on for me. I only use a few pins - in a proper session with Tony he uses loads more!
I also have moxa. (I use smokeless moxa, a stick you light up like a cigarette and use the hot end to heat up points, rather than put pins in them). This is to build the blood cells that chemo has wiped out. I have permanent marker on my back (dots!) which are the places to warm up. (Permanent isn’t that permanent - I’ve got to be very careful in the shower!)
I’m lucky I have a partner who can do this, but there are places on the leg I’ve used that do the same job when my partner has been away.
The first time I “failed” my blood test (neutrophils too low - I was delayed by a week) I was prescribed Filgrastim the following round of chemo. Tony said not to do the moxa those 3 weeks because the Filgrastim should be enough, and it’s important not to overstimulate the process. The blood test after the Filgrastim? I failed it spectacularly, so I spent loads of the next 24 hours with needles in and doing moxa - tested again, and passed with flying colours! No more Filgrastim for me - I hated it!
I had another massive delay in chemo where I felt that acupuncture didn’t work for me - however, in retrospect, I think it was me. My platelet levels just wouldn’t rise. According to TCM neutrophils are Chi which can build more quickly, but platelets are Blood, which builds more slowly. And I just wasn’t resting enough. I genuinely thought I was, but these last 2 rounds of chemo I’ve rested sooooo much more it’s only now I recognise I was over-doing it. And these last two rounds have hit me hard, but I’ve passed all the blood tests!
Tony is a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) acupuncturist, he wears a mask to see me, and I’m the first patient of the day in order to protect me from any potential germs.
I hope this is helpful to someone, and I send love to all on this unplanned journey!

I don’t even begin to know how to address this. We found out that he’s been sneaking cell phone pictures of them and hiding them in his hidden folder and deleting them. They’re not nudes or of them in compromising places, just of them walking about, but the focus is on their butts, or legs.
My wife and I feel awful, disgusted, angry. Angry with him, angry with ourselves, like we’ve done something wrong as parents. We’ve had so many discussions over the years either with them about boundaries in general, what’s appropriate, online and real life safety, respect. This behavior doesn’t at all jive with how we’ve raised them.
When we learned of this, we confiscated the phone. This just happened so he doesn’t know why and we haven’t spoken with him yet, he’s just off to school, but we’ll be speaking with him when he gets home.
What the fuck do we even do or say here?

When I was growing up I was surrounded by teens obsessing over jonas brothers, Justin bieber, one direction, Disney stars, busted etc and now they seem to have gone or am I just blind to it as I’m not the target demographic? Is there no money in attractive young men singing and dancing anymore or are teenage girls not interested like we were when I was a teen? We used to have posters all over our walls, calendars with their face on etc 😭

There's a new movement on social media called "Blackout 2024" sparked by celebrities' views (or lack thereof) on Palestine.
Context:
Last week's Met Gala highlighted the disparity between celebrity opulence and global suffering. Influencer Haley Baylee (real name Haley Kalil) posed in an extravagant floral gown, saying, "Let them eat cake" along with a TikTok sound. This phrase, attributed to Marie Antoinette, symbolizes an out-of-touch attitude toward the suffering of the masses. Although historians doubt she actually said it, the phrase remains a powerful symbol of severe wealth inequality.
Photos of the Met Gala flooded social media alongside images of Israel's attack on Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. The stark contrast between celebrities displaying wealth and Palestinians mourning their dead shocked the world. People compared it to The Hunger Games, where the wealthy Capitol residents dressed opulently while children died in the games. The book series' author, Suzanne Collins, drew inspiration from flipping between Iraq War coverage and reality TV shows.
The Blackout 2024 Movement:
TikTok user @ladyfromtheoutside started the Blackout 2024 movement, frustrated with celebrities' silence on Palestine. "It’s time to block all the celebrities, influencers, and wealthy socialites who are not using their resources to help those in dire need," she said in a video with 2.5 million views. "We gave them their platforms. It’s time to take it back, take our views away, our likes, our comments, our money."
People have differing views on who deserves to be blocked. For example, some believe Billie Eilish should be boycotted for not posting about Palestine, while others argue her Ceasefire pin at the Oscars showed her stance.
Celebrities Respond:
Some celebrities have spoken out. Haley Baylee posted a nearly 9-minute apology video, explaining she wasn't an official Met Gala guest but a host interviewing celebs. She claimed ignorance on the Palestine issue, which drew backlash. Critics argued that in the seven months since the attacks began, there has been ample time to educate oneself.
Three days ago, Lizzo posted a TikTok sharing GoFundMe pages and organizations helping people in Palestine, Sudan, and Congo, stating she had donated to all three. Commenters pointed out the timing and questioned why a millionaire asked regular people to donate.
Impact:
The campaign seems to be making an impact. Haley Baylee's follower count dropped from 10 million to 9.9 million. Social media users claim Kim Kardashian also lost followers after her ambiguous "Free everybody" comment to a "Free Palestine" protestor.
Operation Blockout:
Online critics argue that events like the annual Met Gala, where elite figures from the fashion world showcase their extravagant styles, highlight the disconnect between such opulence and pressing social issues. As attendees dazzled in dramatic attire, protests in support of Palestine were underway just blocks away in New York City. This juxtaposition sparked the inception of "Operation Blockout."
TikTok users such as @blockout2024, who is credited with founding the celebrity blocking campaign, have called out several of the world's biggest names. Users, from Kim Kardashian to Taylor Swift to Justin Bieber, did not hold back. In one video, @blockout2024 said followers have "full control of celebrities' money and lives." "When we hate on them, they make money. When we praise them, they make money. But when we block their social media accounts and completely forget their names, they lose it all," he said. "The amount of attention we give them and the amount of engagement we give them is their direct currency. Take it from them."
Reducing celebrities' followers aims to pressure them to highlight issues in Palestine and Sudan. Jenny, a TikTok user from Vietnam, told The New Arab that "the genocide going on in Palestine" prompted her to join the campaign. "The algorithm of TikTok allows anyone, regardless of age, sex, or societal status, to go viral if their content aligns with the interests of other users. That's why the portrayal of any social issue on TikTok is non-biased and very authentic since it's the voice of mundane people like you and me," she said.
"I've never been able to comprehend the power of social media until I saw a whole movement to support Palestine, Congo, and Sudan start from TikTok. Especially among Gen-Zs, who are perceived to be the generation that's much more sensitive to social matters."
The 22-year-old TikToker reiterated that with power comes responsibility, adding that celebrities' silence has contributed to the miseducation of humanitarian crises worldwide. "I personally feel so much rage at why people can put so much effort into participating in a lavish event, which costs thousands of dollars while being completely ignorant of the fact that people are being bombed to pieces on the other side of the world," she told The New Arab. "The Met Gala 2024 depicted the imbalance of power and resource distribution in our society."

Many people are calling for Ned's head lately.
I don't think he's been perfect. He has a positive reputation around the league at least as a person and businessperson. That doesn't mean he's a good scout.
I think it's important to separate hirings into categories one would attribute to the owner, the coach, or the general manager, even though it is reportedly a collaborative process and Paulson has to sign off on everything. It is also essential to note that different coaches have different systems, styles, strategies, and tactics. Players identified as having the skills, disposition, mentality, etc. for particular purposes under a particular coach may not work as well in different circumstances. For example, I'll suggest that having a slow right centerback isn't as much of a problem with a right fullback who can track back, central midfielders who can help cover, and an offense that defends higher, doesn't turn the ball over so often, and is effective in attack. Also, given the relatively sudden and unexpected departures of Porter and Wilkinson, and the transition periods between coaches and scouting/technical staff, it's important to note that there were times when there weren't people in particular roles and the styles, tactics, strategies, philosophies, etc. weren't clear or changed.
While I have no proof and Ned has expressed his enthusiasm for and confidence in Neville, I very much feel like Phil is Paulson's guy. It was said that he had a rapport with Paulson. I don't expect Ned to say anything publicly that isn't supportive. Maybe he actually believed Neville was the best candidate and maybe he still believes he's a good coach.
Using Wikipedia, I documented which players signed with the club or had their contracts extended while Ned was in different roles.
When he was promoted to Technical Director, he was specifically credited with scouting specific players. He's also credited with finalizing the deal with Evander in late 2022, after GW was fired but before he was officially GM. The rumor is that the deal was going to fall apart before Ned took over negotiations. I've italicized those players that Ned might have been involved in scouting, recruiting, signing, or extending who are still on the team. I've also indicated when I think it's pretty clear when a player was brought in by a coach because of some past association. I may be wrong about some and may have missed some. I know there is incomplete information but I only tried so hard. There are also situations where the player was technically signed to an extension in one year but it was effectively for the next season. The distinction between preseason and summer transfer window signings isn't always obvious. Also, many of these players were scouted for some time before a decision was made to sign them and an opportunity presented itself. For example, Wilkinson talked about wanting Lucas Melano for some time. I think Porter was big on him too. We had our eyes on Yimmi Chara for a long time too. Considering that, I'm not inclined to credit Ned with 2017 signings at all, and don't think he had much to do with the renewal or financial decisions until 2023.

Gee, that's the entire roster. Realistically though, I'm only crediting him for 2023 and maybe Rodriguez. He wasn't really GM until Evander at the end of 2022. GW, Paulson, Porter, Gio, and Neville all have had input and in many cases more authority in decision-making up to that point.
Which players came and went under Ned's watch should we not have signed or not let go?
And which players who are still on the roster just objectively suck and aren't MLS-level players? As starters or depth? Who doesn't even have any potential? Who has aged out? Who is good but doesn't fit the system? Who doesn't fit Neville's system but fit Gio's? Note: this is all in MLS-level terms.

1. Rodriguez was great but is now just good and arguably doesn't fit the system. He's a second striker but we only play with one forward. I don't think the 4-4-2 we tried against Seattle was a good idea. Obviously, it didn't work. Maybe a diamond of Evander, Chara, Ayala, and Paredes. We'd need more defense to cover for Mosquera getting forward and Moreno tucking in. But I digress...
2. Evander is good but poorly utilized and inconsistent. He plays to the level of his teammates. He's not a leader. Could he be great? Probably not as a 10. He's got flashes though, so I hope I'm wrong.
3. Loría in my eyes isn't MLS level and hit his ceiling. I'll accept arguments that he's a good sub for the money.
4. Williamson is good but oft-injured, and inconsistently plays to the level of his teammates.
5. Moreno is inconsistent, sometimes played out of position, doesn't fit the system, but has potential. He takes chances, which I respect, but maybe doesn't have the best judgement. Maybe he can learn. I hope so. He tries. He's good. He could be great. He probably shouldn't be the starter all the time.
6. Mosquera is a good winger but terrible fullback. Or maybe he's a good wingback but terrible fullback, depending on how you define the roles. Maybe he has potential. I increasingly doubt it. He doesn't seem to have the mentality for it. He's Alvas Powell 2.0. I'd love to be wrong. He tried last match. If he becomes a good fullback he'll be great overall.
7. McGraw is good but terrible in the system, especially when Mosquera doesn't track back. He's just too slow and sometimes has poor judgement.
8. Eric Miller is good as a sub right fullback and decent as a sub left fullback.
9. Fogaça isn't good and has no potential. I'd love to be wrong. I like his workrate but he's not MLS quality and never will be.
10. Antony is good, not great, and maybe has potential. His first touch is garbage, he's one-footed, and he doesn't make smart runs. He fast though. I don't think he can succeed on a shitty team like ours because he won't see the ball enough. Ideally, he'd understudy to a great winger and learn from them.
11. Mora is surprisingly good. He's opportunistic. He's a leader. He's committed. He puts in effort. I still don't think he's a DP and I'd kind of prefer he was a subto an even better forward but it's hard to argue with success.
12. Diego Chara. He's still very good. People who say he's lost a step are confusing his inability to cover everybody else's mistakes, and his own occasional lapses, with having lost it. He's barely lost anything. He'd look better on a team that wasn't absolute ass. It's sad for him.
13. Araujo. I think he's good but just too slow for this system. His passing is good and he's good with the ball at his feet. His positioning and judgement seem fine, generally. I'd bet he'd look better on a better team too. I could say the same for some former centerbacks as well.
14. Paredes. He's good. He's developed and grown on me. He's pretty consistent and generally puts in effort. He rarely pisses me off. I'd hoped he'd develop into a 6 but that's apparently not to be. I think he's hit his ceiling. He's a great rotator or sub. Not a star.
15. Ayala. He's good. Could become great if he can stay healthy and get more development. I'm worried about his injury history. He's a bit small and can get pushed around a bit.
16. Mabiala. He's just too old and slow now. Good dude. Maybe his last extension was too long. I think the tactics are especially bad for him but he wasn't good enough last season either. Father Time just caught up faster than we expected.
17. Asprilla. Is he good? I don't think he really is. But his moments of sheer genius, his workrate, and his heart make him great. As a sub. Flare counts for a lot. I love it when Asprilla dazzles.
18. Kamal Miller. He's good but too slow for the system.
19. Muse. No idea man.
20. Crepeau. He's great but we sure haven't given him a chance to be great for us yet.
21. Pantemis. He's good and could be great.
22. Sulte. I've only ever seen him be awful. I wish him the best but have no reason for optimism, especially since Muse came on.
23. Zuparic. He's the best player in the league, obviously. He's good. Maybe he was great once. He's not good enough for the system at least. If Neville ever substantively changes tactics I think he could be solid for us again. Seems like his attitude may be a problem though. Who knows what to believe?
24. Ikoba. Absolute mystery to me. I assume the worst from context clues. Wish him the best. I think he, Sulte, and all who came before underscore how wretched our academy system is. Who do we blame for that? Does it matter? I think it does. I'd love to develop cheap players we could sell to reinvest in the club.
25. Bravo. He's great. He could be brilliant. He makes the occasional mistake but that's the price of greatness. He takes risks. He's a fighter too. Love this dude but he still gets underrated and shit on. We're so much better with him on the team. How often do we have good fullbacks, especially a left back. Him, Moreira, and Villafaña are kind of it, right? Farfan showed promise but bringing Jorge back stunted his prospects with us?

I think we are less than the sum of our parts. I don't think too many of our players are scrubs. We have too much invested in central midfield, centerback, and keeper. Central midfield was complicated by injuries and Chara's insane longevity. Our poor DP signings hurt our ability to move on from them in terms of timing and money. Ivacic was still on the books well into the last transfer window. Mabiala is taking up roster and cap space. Zuparic is questionable. McGraw and Araujo just don't seem to be good fits for the system that Neville is trying to implement. Kamal Miller isn't either but Neville doesn't realize that. I'll suggest that Mosquera not defending hurt the CBs last season too, along with the missing attacking DPs.
I don't know what we can realistically do about our problems near-term. I don't think Nevilleball works even with a right fullback who can defend and faster centerbacks. That would help. But the lack of off-the-ball movement, lack of ball progression through midfield, lack of creative runs, poor passing, low pressure, shitty zonal marking on set piece defending, not closing passing lanes, not stepping to the ball; not making incisive, line-splitting passes; not communicating, poor rotations, not making the final pass or taking shots in the box, passing back all the time, slow build-up, not covering the far post, injuries... It's a lot. Some of these problems predate Neville, so he ought to have accounted for them and adjusted accordingly. The FO has denied lack of talent is a problem. That leaves coaching and attitude or mentality. Attitude and mentality often come back to coaching IMHO.
TL/DR: The players / team are good, not great. A better coach might get us to the playoffs but won’t make us champions. It’s hard to tell how much it’s Ned’s fault that we got here, but it’s discouraging that he rates this team higher than he should.

So basically there's a regular cashier at a store I go to and we chat a bit every time. She knows my age but we were talking yesterday and she referenced the early 00s. So she goes "its weird how fast life passes you by now we are both middle aged" so I said "I just turned 30" and she said "thats middle aged like me. 30 to 60 is middle aged."
Excuse me what?? Really? Here I am walking around thinking I'm not middle aged no one even treats me like I'm old. So Justin Bieber, Pete Davidson, Ariana Grande, Nick Jonas and Cole Sprouse are middle aged?

Every song I am about to list is objectively a Classic as its old, has stood the test of time and resonates with millions and millions, but they are TRASH!
"I Gotta Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas (2009) the beef continues, this song is trash, soulless garbage manufactured Pop bullshit that is horribly dated, horribly written, produced and is awfully performed https://youtu.be/uSD4vsh1zDA?si=xWxoth1sfTtz70yD song link for those who wanna be tortured
"Baby" by Justin Bieber (2010) a Classic hit no doubt but the song is simpy bullshit with garbage production, terrible vocals and corny lyrics https://youtu.be/kffacxfA7G4?si=wgJFCUCqcB3qcplH
"Sweet Child O Mine" by Guns N'Roses (1987) absolute horrid vocals from Axl douchebag Rose, a disgustingly laughable Guitar riff from slash, sappy lyrics, generic chorus, sounds like a Shitty Bon Jovi song, TRASH https://youtu.be/1w7OgIMMRc4?si=IV53Ti4QBKGIqz32
"Single Ladies" by Beyonće (2009) a Misandrist song that has terrible production, froglike Vocals, Pretentious lyrics and is overall a Terrible song despite its classic status https://youtu.be/4m1EFMoRFvY?si=us6yihmatgC7q_3u
If you are wondering what Classic songs i think are good? Purple Rain, Stairway to Heaven, Hallelujah, 99 Problems, Gimme Shelter, Lose Yourself, Umbrella, I Will Always Love You, Billie Jean, Hurt, Hey Ya! What Goes Around Comes Around. There are GREAT songs

Hi everyone! I’m a 28 year male in PNW. Currently in cell phone industry for the last 7 years, management for 4.5 years. Feeling a little stagnant, wanting a change of pace. I would say on average while managing I’ve had a YOY growth of 5-10% since being in it, but wanting to get into a better paying job. Just don’t know what steps I should be taking, jobs I qualify for or don’t. I’ve been wanting to get into hybrid work but I understand that’s a scarce thing at the moment; I I don’t know how my work experience would translate or qualify for. Any tips would be helpful, please and thank you.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I was recently told that with my experience that I should be looking into consulting jobs with like Google/Microsoft/Amazon, but I don’t see any of those positions available so just made me even more confused
