He was the best guy. Just say there for a good 3 minutes which was enough time to switch to a telephoto and snap this picture. He even pissed* in a few different angles! Just wish the sun was in my favor
*Edit: this was supposed to be "posed" and I'm keeping it for comedic effect
Working from home also had, from my observation, a massive and materially beneficial impact on females specifically working mothers, who bare a disproportionate share of domestic work.
They have the data because they ask (corporate) employees about their working experience constantly. I'm sure employees love the option to WFH. But they don't like the data (typical) because they spent billions building cheap, crowded, loud office space around the world.
So what do they do? They pull out the mantra, "Disagree and Commit", which is Amazon manager speak for "shut up and do what I say." Ironically, Disagree and Commit is actually "Have Backbone, Disagree and Commit" and is about finding alternative solutions or data when you think the company is doing the wrong things rather than keeping quiet.
Amazon, like most American corporations is an oligarchy and it's run terribly at the top with dire consequences for their employees, customers, and the world.
Without breaking the habit, I'm posting another Greece photo.This time, form Meteora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring six hand-built Greek Orthodox monasteries sitting on natural rock formations.
The experience is not for the faint of heart, however. You'll face some step climbs, endless steps and seas of tourists. But finally, at the top, you'll get a truly unique sight.
From the inside, these still-functioning buildings hold all that is required to stow away from war and other inconveniences of 16th century priest life. You'll explore how a system of cables transported building materials, food, and everything else across the complex. And you'll see a bunch of religious stuff.
After a long walk-around, with feet numb and brain marinated in history, theology, and architecture, I paused to look out. You can see the next monastery (pictured) sitting on a natural pedestal with an inviting sun beam washing over it. I couldn't help but wonder what makes this place special. Is it the hard work building these monasteries? The beauty of the natural landscape? Is it synergistic? Or did humans actually ruin perfectly beautiful natural rock formations to worship a god who presumably built them?
Meteora poses the dilemma between human-made and nature-given beauty in such crystal clear terms. Without the monasteries, there would be no reason to lead stairs up the rocks. Without the rocks, the monasteries would be indistinguishable from thousands of others scattered around the world. Without monasteries the scale of the rocks would be lost. And so on, and fractally into the depths of philosophy.
With my photo, and your replies, we can contemplate together. And maybe, despite the terrible puns, I'll still feel like Lemmy is somewhere I belong.
I've also seen this trend of very "flat" colors. Not quite matte but mostly grey colors with little depth sold as premium. Hate it. Toyota TRD products and Audi S Lines come to mind
As someone who takes EXTREMELY amateur astrophotography pics with a 600mm lens, I am blown away by the time and work that went into this shot. Please keep posting
