trying to get my life together or die in a gas explosion whichever don't care

I want to show you an actual training slide from my customer service job that I had to see yesterday.

This is how men play sports

Ahhh, there’s the obvious conclusion.

If we can de-extinct* species, surely there’s no point in worrying about endangered species anymore! We can bring them back anytime!

*depending on your definition of de-extinction.

And considering one of the heads chose to go on Joe Rogan's show i wouldn't be at all surprised if they're encouraging this

Bart Simpson will tell people "Don't have a cow, man" but in many places and times throughout history up into the present day cattle have been emblematic of wealth and prosperity, going so far as to ascribe philosophical or even religious significance to cattle as highly valuable, mobile, and fungible commodities. For instance, in Old Icelandic, the word and symbol fehu represented both cattle in particular and the concepts of wealth, fiduciary success, and societal stability in the abstract, and quite famously (or some say infamously) the first Greenland expeditions insisted on bringing their cattle with them from Iceland despite Greenland being some of the worst cow country on Earth; they would hand-feed their beeves through the long winters and then physically pick up and carry the malnourished ones out to the pastures in the spring, because they saw it as just That Important that cattle be extant. And In Irish legends, cattle often serve as a symbol of royal sovereignty and of the leader's right to command, and the theft or recovery of cattle served as casus belli for many major conflicts.

So many people would actually prefer to "have a cow," and would consider a lack of cows to be a terrible tragedy in need of immediate remediation. Much to think about.

Clearly he means to say you should not be rich or hold power. A true rebel.

the real gag of it is that Andrew didn’t actually think he could protect Neil against the mafia. He was going to do everything in his power to keep Neil alive regardless, but he wanted the deal so their relationship could rely on needing him like all his others do. He didn’t believe someone could stay just by wanting him.

And the whole time Neil knows Andrew can’t actually protect him. He agreed because he wanted to stay for Andrew.

Been a really long time since I've watched Daredevil but I do remember coming away from it feeling like it presented a pretty compelling internally-consistent moral justification for the vigilante thing. You're not planet-crackingly powerful, it's just that you can hear, in detail, every awful thing your neighbors are doing to each other, every night that they're doing it. You can't not know and you can't pretend not to know and when the kid tells you the next day that he just fell down the stairs you can't fall back on the provided ambiguity to absolve yourself of your responsibility to act. Semi-relatedly, you're really really good at martial arts. Start the clock

once when I was at old retail job this woman came up to the counter very obviously on her phone with earbuds in which I consider extremely disrespectful so whenever someone did that I would like. wait for 20-30 whole ass long seconds to see if they even noticed I was alive and if they insisted on being an asshole i would ring them up because I had to but they would NOT get their rewards points or any sales unless they spoke to me and apologized ANYWAY the woman moseyed up full ass on the phone placing her Products to Purchase on the counter alongside her iPhone 97 or whatever but not speaking (???) which was kind of weird usually the Disrespectful ones would be in the middle of some Facetime conversation with half their family or something so I glanced down at the phone to see WTF was going on and if she was one of these people who skipped out on their work from home job to do errands and say "uh huh" every 2.5 minutes on the Office Zoom Call ANYWAY i took a gander to see what kind of corpo Inc. idiots were in the corner of the phone screen and it said...... "BetterHelp" And before the "ummmmmm" hit my body and as soon as I got my eyes back up in position the woman finally speaks she puts one finger up and says "Excuse me" taps to unmute and speaks into the phone and says for real "and how does that make you feel?"

this is a horror story
