You're in luck, I am making space for an International Relations panel featuring Nintex, Kirblar and hungrynoob.

Hopefully John McAfee can video conference in. (No thanks to shosta.)

[Cauliflower Of Love]

Kirblar is super knowledgeable about policy and economics, which is more than I can say about 99% of the people who post about politics here or on Era.

He is? Cause he's always wrong. 

[benjipwns]

Remember if you say someone is always wrong you're making the same argument as if you're saying they have perfect knowledge.

Also apparently that primary hinges on the filibuster.

They're really judging Bernie's capabilities on how fast he send a tweet

A slow response but the right one. Good for a representative not a leader.

I was watching a video on the recent 'journalist' layoffs and the creator brought up something interesting. 2 years ago(Dec 2017) a Bill, H.R. 5181 - Countering Foreign Propaganda & Disinformation Act of 2016 was signed into law. This bill set aside 160 million dollars to be used to 'Counter Propaganda'.

The legislation established a fund to help train local jouranlists and provide grants and contracts to NGOs, civil society organizations, think tanks, private sector companies, media organizations, and other experts outside the US government with experience in identifying and analyzing the latest trends in foreign government disinformation techniques.

So the two years was up in December and now the layoffs happen.

[BikeJesus]

"video game journalism" still makes me laugh every single time.

Critics for movies aren't called journalists, neither are food critics, or wine connoisseurs.

Fucking gamers.

This is a dumb take.

go on

there's a different between what journalists do and what critics do.

One is important and isn't subjective, the other one stinks.

(Image removed from quote.)

A journalist is someone who writes for a newspaper, magazine or web site.

The word does not have some great value to it.

And yes, movie critics are called journalists all the time.  The topic you write about doesn’t change the title.

Shouldn't a journalist at least have a degree in journalism? Kinda like engineers and doctors?

Are you trying to say I'm not a doctor?

[benjipwns]

I've noticed that some people who work in the regular journalism industry have started calling themselves "reporters" to distinguish from just "journalist." The people who write like the regular news stories and don't Twitter all day long.

[BikeJesus]

Shouldn't a journalist at least have a degree in journalism? Kinda like engineers and doctors?

Why?  I don't have a college degree and I've been a software engineer for 20 years.

The word doesn't give someone merit, it's just a description of a job.

Have you ever heard of protected titles? I guess I am old fashioned and still care about the meaning of words.

Hey I have 100 hours in Kerbal Space Program so I guess I am now a physicist.

[benjipwns]

I don't think "journalists should have a degree in journalism" is the old fashioned position. Journalism schools are a recent thing.

[BikeJesus]

Yes, but I said my caring about the meaning of words was old fashioned, although i feel that by simply responding to you I have already lost while at the same time encouraging your behavior.

Harmful books shouldn't be published.

Oh wait, my bad, People's Republic of China thread.

Harmful books shouldn't be published.
Yikes censorship !

Eras "muh freeze peach" idiocy always annoys me, because there are regimes where people are actually literally risking life and liberty in pursuit of an ideal that era are so accustomed to having that they have become contemptuous of it, pretty much solely down to butthurt that they are not culturally equipped to handle dissent.

And now nobody will save us from axis power Japans insiduous propaganda that the way to deal with zombies is to shoot them in the head, and not examining bodega goods with a now-obviously-queer haircut

I have a 3 year electrical engineering degree and I would never call myself an engineer. At best I would use 'technologist'. An engineer has a masters. People love to inflate their worth though, so I can understand why you don't agree.

Even if you work in the field?

[BikeJesus]

3 years? What is that, a GE and some advanced physics?

Well it was 8 semesters of engineering math, advanced calculus, systems analysis. Programming microcontrollers(assembly lol), programming PLC's, AC/DC systems, motor control,  Instrumentation, and a bunch of other shit.

I have a 3 year electrical engineering degree and I would never call myself an engineer. At best I would use 'technologist'.

Even if you work in the field?

No job looking for 'engineers' would even consider someone with my education. I would apply to jobs looking for technologists. That said, I decided to open my own bicycle repair business because that is what I enjoy doing, and I do not consider myself a bicycle repair engineer. I don't even like calling myself a bike 'mechanic' because I don't have a mechanics license or anything, and there is no certification for bike mechanics in Canada.

[benjipwns]

A "technologist" sounds like somebody who writes books every three years about THE NEW WAY TECHNOLOGY IS INFLUENCING HOW WE ACTUALLY WORK IN WORKPLACE RELATIONSHIPS. Like if you told me Malcolm Gladwell calls himself a "technologist" I'd be like alright.

But in reality, Malcolm Gladwell is a journalist.

Again, I think all of us, engineers, journalists, historians, archaeologists, serial killers, clowns, technologists, "developers", shosta, need to remember to agree to paint each others negatives as human beings in truth and not in darkness and Russian propaganda. We're all better than that. Except stufte.

Once upon a time "journalist" was such a goto profession of inherent respect that superheroes would have it as their day job, like scientist inventor and rich man.

how long have you been working on this

[BikeJesus]

I literally have had that in my job title (some workplaces use it) and I have professional certifications that contain the word "engineer" as well. Because that's what my job entails, engineering things.

Yeah, this goes back to words having meaning. If I scribble on a sheet of paper, I didn't 'engineer' that scribble just because I 'created' it.

And you think what I do for work is similar to scribbling?

I didn’t come up with the term software engineer so I don’t really care.

Call me a code typer for all I care, my billing rate is my real “worth” lol

I’ve created reusable software components that are considered “engines” for things hence the term though.  Why that bothers you is another story.

So you are a programmer? Nothing wrong with that and actually makes you seem more capable than any self-proclaimed 'software engineer'.
