Capitalism does not give incentives for self care and living like a human being. I see a lot of stuff like this in communities like this, and it’s because part of why our current system sucks is because it doesn’t give us time to just live.

There’s an annoying amount of people that believe that having fun and being joyful is not allowed when bad things are happening in the world.

They seem to know that bad things are always happening though…

The point is that humans are weird at evaluating risk.

Past a certain size, sample size stops mattering. You can filter the data to try and control for outliers and confounding variables, but with as much data we have on driving and flying, it’s just a fact that you are much more likely to be in an accident in a SINGLE car drive than you are in a SINGLE airplane ride.

And if you really think about it, it makes sense. All the pilots are heavily trained. They mostly don’t need to be constantly alert looking for other vehicles/pedestrians. The density of traffic in the air is much lower than a road, so you’re just way less likely to hit another plane and you don’t need to avoid pedestrians.

You are me! I can nap on my back, but something about night time sleeping makes me require laying on my side. Cannot go to sleep at night on my back at all.

Hey, I’m American and I’m absolutely pissed. This shit is bullshit and I’m pulling every lever I can, I just don’t have a lot of levers.

I mean, isn’t showing that you can respond to a change in pressure request kinda a big deal? The person receiving the massage saying, “you’re not using the right pressure” shouldn’t be considered a negative mark at all, but ignoring it and them needing to repeat it over and over should be bad.

Pretending your peers are doing a good job just because they’re your peers doesn’t do them favors, especially when they’re learning something that relies on communication and responding to feedback.

I’d also like to throw in

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off - anime version of the movie with all the same voice cast, with a major major twist at the first episode (hint - it’s very different from the movie and much more mature while still keeping the same vibes)

Adventure Time - Fionna and Cake - an excellent follow up to Adventure Time. Idk how comprehensible it is to non-adventure time watchers, but it is it’s own story that does some cool stuff.

Blue Eyed Samurai - just a great revenge story with gorgeous animation.

Have you seen Pantheon? I’ve only seen a few episodes of Vox Machina but Pantheon is legitimately great and very interesting, though also completely different tone and vibe wise.

Honestly this was my biggest “wtf” takeaway from this. There’s a Microsoft Copilot DISCORD SERVER? Are there other “official” Discord servers for other random Microsoft products? Why aren’t they using Teams or whatever?
