we should just do each others dishes more. there is no punchline at the end of this text post. dishes suck and they’re often the first thing that falls to the wayside when someone is depressed, or having a bad time, or just plain busy. i cannot tell you how many times i have just had my glass of wine or a joint standing at the kitchen sink - sure, we could sit on your couch, but if we’re just going to talk and vibe anyway, i might as well do these for you. it’s an act of simple love. i never feel more grateful than for the people who come into my home and share domesticity as friendship. it’s neither a burden nor a chore to help; theyre not my dishes. they’re yours. and we can do them together.

My seven year old neighbour has decided he wants a bichon frise dog because they’re cute but he’s big into learning how to pronounce vowels right now and won’t listen to his mom’s explanation that it’s a French name and French vowels are pronounced differently than English vowels 

Anyway, he’s been telling me over the fence why “bitchin’ fries” are the best kind of dog

It is never too early to start talking about outer space labor law

[the-last-dillpickle]

Like even NASA has been guilty of treating astronauts like organic robots in the past (see SkyLab Strike). You really think someone like Elon Musk will care about their employees working in microgravity beyond their ability to continue performing their job?

For example, NASA astronauts are currently required to work out two hours a day to keep up their bone and muscle mass. This helps prevent irreparable damage/loss and lets them eventually return to living their normal lives on Earth. But exercise equipment is heavy, and it costs $10000 per pound when you’re shooting something into orbit. That’s a lot! Can a company be trusted to send enough equipment into space for each of their employees to get that two hours in when the benefit is for the employees after they’ve served their time? 

How long will these companies expect their employees to stay in microgravity when it’s cheaper for them to leave a single person up there for a long period of time than to bring them down and switch them out? If someone gets sick or wants to quit? 

These are questions and concerns that will need to be addressed in the near future as the space industry becomes further and further commercialized and companies begin to break away from merely contracting for government space agencies.

Speaking as someone forever salty that we as leftists so often abdicate space stuff to the right-wing and the private sector, I am all for this.

I'm really starting to suspect that the trend of scrutinizing every piece of media for problematic elements and making sure everything you like is 100% in line with your values is just the woke millennial version of diet culture.

We're too enlightened to care about weight, but we'll sure as hell police what enters our brains with the same relentless scrutiny that our mothers applied to their mouths.

[earlgraytay]

Orthorexia of the brain?

[fierceawakening]

YES

[jenniferrpovey]

...that is a very interesting analogy.

[jabberwockypie]

Oh. Huh.

It really IS the “blueberries are bad for you because they have a lot of sugar” people except for media consumption.

[bearingskin]

literally was just talking about this with my OT who was like actually, it’s not really that important for the stuff you like and the things that speak to you to form an immediately or obviously cohesive whole? like, have sticky-outy bits, bud, if they feel good! don’t go round punching people and don’t be a dick about it, but like... you don’t have to carefully ensure everything about you lines up perfectly with some strand of yourself, we’re not tapestries or platonic solids or the woodgrain of a table top, we’re people

[enbyzombies]

oh you’re neurodivergent? what non-human being did you pretend to be / believe yourself to be in order to cope with the disconnect you felt from your peers during your early childhood?

Isn’t it odd how much fatter a book gets when you’ve read it several times? As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells, and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower, both strange and familiar.

A drunk guy at work kept pulling on the push door and couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t open so he decided perhaps the bright red latch to the right of the door was the answer but the bright red latch was in fact the fire alarm.

[reverendyoda]

I assume the door did open after that. The tragedy of drunken plans is not that they don’t work, it’s how they do.

[sandersstudies]

It didn’t actually, there’s no button or mechanism to open the door except just… pushing it. It’s very obviously a push door. In fact one of the line cooks LEFT THE KICTHEN to open the door and shoo him out.

[reverendyoda]

See? Pull red switch -> summon door wizard -> success.

don’t know why terror seems like the correct emotional reaction to this but it is

[star-anise]

From someone who sails and reads a lot of books about the history of sailing? Terror is entirely the correct emotional reaction.
