Always remember, music is also art. Now imagine a world where theres no music. You can't listen to anything while driving, riding the bus, going shopping etc.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (4 children)

You can listen to things while driving, but it is either NPR, talk radio, or church sermons.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Not NPR, that's writing and journalism, which id argue is definitely an art.

Have fun with 500 versions of Alex Jones though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

No, there's even art in Alex Jones. Remember bad art exists and is still art.

I think I’d kill myself if I had to listen to NPR’s Up First without the jingle. I think that jingle keeps me sane.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I don't even..... this thought is so vile. It's bumming me out and I already agreed with you, I didn't need this analogy. Fuck that's depressing..... FUCK!

It's not that I disagree with the principle, but on the mentioned occastions, I will ~99% of the time listen to podcasts or audio books instead of music.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago (2 children)

You might be shocked to learn that books is art, too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I mean everything could be considered art if you look at it from the right angle :o

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Sure, but novels, paintings, and songs are traditional arts, they are art first and foremost.

The code I write might be considered abstract art by some, but I'm a developer, not an artist. Much like how someone who writes books get catagorized as an author even though books can be considered art.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

I don't listen to anything in any of those scenarios.

Many people are not listening music 24/7.

Music is nice, I don't say it's not. But you could 100% live without it.

Guessing this might be non-essential workers as per covid lockdowns, ie how important it is for them to attend a workplace in person, but it's definitely funnier if it is a ranked list of perceived importance to society, so let's go with that

Its right about telemarketing

A quick image search returned this

So many commenters are missing crucial context to this infographic.

This was released during peak covid and I mean PEAK as in June 2020, global lockdowns, high mortality rates, shortages of essentials. In case anyone has a short memory, the world as we knew it practically ground to a halt.

Not to take away anything from artists but essential in this context meant essential to the basic human needs. Health, Nutrition, Sanitation.

I know they meant painter but graphic designer is probably one of the most important jobs if we’re talking about business. A company without some sort of graphic is dead in the water.

Yeah? Well.. Who designed their font?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

I think that font might be Proxima Nova, which was designed by Mark Simonson. When looking up that name, I learned that this design was inspired by "the roundness of geometric sans serifs like Futura" and "the proportions of modern grotesques like Helvetica.", so I suppose we should also tip our hats to Paul Renner (Futura), and Max Midinger and Eduard Hoffman (Helvetica)

(N.b. I am only moderately knowledgeable in typeface history. Any other nerds who enjoy learning may appreciate this random video

the 23% of people who didn't vote for garbage collector... Are they hoarders?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

They're the people who just haul their own trash to the dump.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

They were probably asked an open ended question. Artist is likely the most common answer given due to the simple fact that more people can think of that job compared to PR manager when asked

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Project Manager was #1 but they told the artist it didn't fit the scope.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

Artist? I think the job was passed off to the first person passing the bosses desk.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

My sister is a graphic designer and makes good money.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Graphics designer maybe, creative, probably

But artist?

Negro please

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

That's about right.
