Parallel Economy

Like an equal sign (=)... Where one line is above the other...
Hym "Yes. A parallel economy. And what does this parallel economy look like? Well, it looks like THIS = Get it? They want THIS = And accuse ME of wanting THIS ÷ but THIS is only not a problem if you are THIS LINE --- rather than THIS LINE ___"

Parallel

It's like this I I 👈 or like that 👉 =
Iam "No... I see the parallel... Hmm..."

Hym "Well, I hate to break it to you but they just (straight up) don't want to do the thing that you said is what's best. What's happening is what you said would happen. The ideal is not an abstraction and technology has made it hyper-accessible. So that's just what is going to happen. Cause? Meet Effect. 'Oh, hi Effect! Nice to meet you I'm Cause!'..."

Iam "And I'm not positing that as a solution. They are and they're doing a pretty good job of enforcing it. It's this horrific Orwellian spectacle but yeah..."

Hym "And they're also NOT doing that. They're also withholding until their value declines and/or circumambulating the marketplace. And nobody wants to be choice number 100 or 15 or even 2."

Iam "I hate to even bring it back up but I feel like I haven't touched on it in a while. I'm just one guy and I'm not even one of proponents of the thing I'm talking about."

Hym "Well, technically..."

Iam "Fine, 'key' proponents. And I don't have a solution that's better than the one that's already being used by these'key proponents'. Disillusion of destructive narratives, accountability for negative behavior, and a criteria that isn't ENTIRELY ID driven."

parallel facts

It means there is more than one version of facts and they can exist side by side. It can also mean parallel truth and parallel evidence, in a sense.
"I saw a baseball game yesterday when I saw a guy hit two home runs, I said. Really? I went to that game with you but I only saw him hit one home run, my friend said." What we have are parallel facts. We both are saying actual facts that happened, I replied."

49th parallel

Can either mean a part of the Canada-USA border (as it follows the 49th parallel north for a part of the border) or the 49th parallel north or south (circles of latitude).
1: I live in Seattle, near the 49th parallel. I travel to Vancouver every Saturday evening.
2: There are so many circles of latitude, but the 49th parallel north/south just stands out to me. It's my favorite.

Parallel

The best job platform in the world. You don't apply through all the bulls*** ATS systems or algorithms and your application goes direct to the team that you would be working with.
I used Parallel to get a job I love which ended my depression and my wife ended up not leaving me!
