  • Take a bag, fill it with water, and grip it loosely at the top so all your fingers wrap around like a loose fist.

    Now, without turning the bag, use your other hand to empty it by squeezing out the water.

    You get most of it out, but there’s still some in there, even if you squeeze violently and it seems like nothing else can come out.

    Also, for most of human history, if you’ve poisoned yourself ingesting something, chances are the next thing you’re ingesting is still poisoned. It’s only recently we’ve worked out distilled poison and purified water. So, biologically speaking, better to just be sick for a day so you can get to a different water/food source.


  • Because so much of that would put you off if you were on the receiving end.

    As a human person, when a human person is on the other end, I do my best to be kind, empathetic, forgiving, and accommodating.

    When some asshole wants to try and swing his dick around in an email, my instinct is “fuck that guy”

    I think maybe just get rid of the bogus ones like “sleep” and “take a day off”.

    Everything else you can do with a little time and effort. Most people with 30 minutes can’t opt to sleep in that time, that’d just be 30 minutes of laying down letting your brain try to make up the activity. And even fewer people can afford to say “I’m not coming in to work today”!


  • Book of Boba Fett would have been a decent Star Wars story if it was the Book of Bib Fortuna seizing power.

    Boba Fett was saved by Tuscans, but spends the whole show talking about protecting “his people”, the city folk.

    It’s like if James Bond was left for dead and rescued by Navajo, then became sheriff of Albequerque and needed to keep the streets clean for the saloon and “his people”.

    It’s not the character we know, and it doesn’t even make sense as a character arc!







  • I absolutely don’t like working. But I like things. My basic needs are insufficient for me to be comfortable and happy.

    I would choose to work so I could go to the movies, buy video games, eat and drink decadent things, pursue hobbies, travel, etc.

    Enough food, enough shelter, enough mobility, and enough telecommunication ironically isn’t enough for me.

    I’ve been fortunate to never have been only scraping by. I don’t believe many people would choose it and it absolutely baffles me that so many people believe that so many people would.
