That is really cool. I’ve often wanted to “get into” listening to classical music, but I don’t know how to find styles or composers that I like. Can anyone recommend a good way to get a well rounded introduction to it? I was wondering if this video was a good start, lol
I think I’m looking for more relaxing styles, though, stuff that I could have in the background and not be startled by sudden changes.
First I want to say that I agree and wish there was more support for journalism. I have been craving more depth and nuance in reporting, to read about different potential outcomes, pros and cons of different decisions, etc. And I can’t imagine how bad a world without properly vetted news would be. It already seems like enough people are way too happy to just read whatever an algorithm feeds them.
Secondly, about the job market and changing careers, I get how you feel. I work in software and feel similarly about it (though maybe we’re lucky compared to journalists), and I feel the same about life in general. Everything has gone to shit. I wrote a long rant about how hopeless the future seems, but I realized it’s probably off topic.
It’s just hard to imagine any path where the job market improves, and where society gets better.
If someone has some optimism to share, it’d be much appreciated. I’m ready to quit my job due to burnout, but I don’t even know what I’d do instead. I can’t imagine just watching shows or playing video games for more than a few hours per day. I’d love to get into volunteering, but it seems like a big commitment and a lot of work.
