Hippies = people with emotions?

> And, I weakens your immunity during that time. Mind boggling. Your immune response is sensative after vaccines, not magically stronger.

This is not true.

Some radio is fucking awesome. In particular college radio stations are great, because they exist outside of the conglomeratized radio landscape and will play a wildly eclectic mix of music.

With online streaming you can get it from anywhere your phone has service. I recall WFUV (Fordham University) being good. KXLU (Loloya Marrymount in LA) is decent, much less professional than WFUV tho.

They're usually not as put together as the professional stations, but if you can get past that, I think they play much more interesting music.

This is a word for word repost of the post from a week ago: Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time

What does "Olympic-style gym" mean

Yes, I think you explained that quite well.

TBH I don't think that UX is that esoteric or difficult to learn. A lot of it is just the mindset of prioritizing the user. There's certainly aspects that are more complex, and the further you get into the "design" aspect, the more creative skill is required. Being familiar with interaction patterns is important. These days design systems have taken over the web so you're probably not going to be designing from zero anyway.

If you're looking to be a good dev partner to your design team I'd try to get more involved in their process. Depends on your specific business obviously. I've spent most of my career in agencies and consultancies so the answer to "why" is frequently "because they wanted it that way".

This website always annoys me because of this. I've been working in UX for 10 years, most of these rules never get referred to by these names.

Your point about the "laws" is a good one. At the beginning of my career I thought I was like the UX Ranger, there to lay down UX Laws to the uninitiated around me. Took a few years until I realized I needed to shut the fuck up, ask more questions, listen more, and that in general things are always pretty murky and dependent on the specific situation.

Seems like more of a care package than a toy drive.

It's a little hard to figure how many exactly, but according to this graphic, 1.5% of high school students identify as trans, which is over 800 students.*

It also points out that:

• 71% are depressed, and 54% are suicidal. The numbers for cis kids is 26% and 14% respectively.
• 25% have dated someone who physically hurt them on purpose, 25% were forced to have sexual contact. 8% and 4% for cis kids.
• 49% have experienced violence, or the threat of violence so badly that they want to leave home. 20% cis.
• They're the least likely to feel supported by their parents and the community
• They're more likely to abuse prescription drugs, drink alcohol, and smoke.

Life is fucking hard if you're a trans teen.

*As a side note I'm pretty sure this number comes from a percentage of kids enrolled in public schools, so the number is likely slightly higher when accounting for private and home schooled.

This data is also from 2017, so numbers are probably somewhat different now.

That's how I do it, but I'm just a white guy from Maine, so I'm not exactly a source of authenticity on this topic.

I've heard there's a lady who sets up in the Harbor Hospital parking lot in Torrance. There's also a guy who sells from various spots in Highland Park on the weekends. There's also apparently a woman who sells them outside the petco in van nuys that's been doing it forever, not sure if she's still there though.

Edit: these are only the ones I know about, there's probably way way more, not to mention any mexican restaurant in southern california.

It's a tamale. Masa steamed in a corn husk. Usually has cheese or meat inside the masa. You unwrap to eat it. Here in LA (Los Angeles, not Lewiston Auburn - I grew up in Maine, it's not weird that I lurk this sub I swear) you can find the best ones being sold from the trunk of an old ladies car in a parking lot.

IIRC that was the first starbucks in Portland, and people were unhappy enough about it that someone threw a brick through their window. 1999 maybe?

Edit: I guess it happened more than I thought

>Within a month this spring, during which Starbucks opened two new stores in Portland, vandals smashed the windows of one Starbucks store on four different nights. In the first incident, on March 18, a drunken man staggered out of a bar and pitched a bottle through one of the windows. He was arrested and pleaded guilty. The four attacks, however, says Portland police chief Michael Chitwood, apparently "targeted" Starbucks and were perpetrated by more than one vandal.
Others in Portland have expressed their antipathy without violence. Also this spring, a small group of young people protested at one of the newly christened stores in the city. One sign read, "Starbucks get out of town." A scathing column in a local newspaper, Casco Bay Weekly, inveighed against Starbucks for "quietly destroying the character of downtowns" and funneling its profits "back to the greedy mother ship." In an interview with Inc., Donna Peterson, a Starbucks regional marketing manager in Boston, said that the company's investment and operations in Portland have strengthened the economy and that the company has contributed thousands of dollars in products or cash to a variety of the city's charities.
