Imagine all the things I could do if I just did them.

[shinraalpha]

Still thinking about how Grace was always treated as disposable. Kicked out of his passion field for his honesty—underpaid as a (very good) teacher, to the point he can’t afford a car—left alone in a room full of argon with a sample that might kill him, while all the indispensable guys who put him there stood on the other side of the glass and watched. Shoved screaming into a mission that would kill him. And then, then this bonkers little alien who just met him gladly trades years off his life (via extended return mission) to save him. Runs burning through deadly air to keep him from dying. Chooses finally to weave their lives together forever and recreate Grace’s best dreams of Earth to make him happy. No wonder Grace told Rocky he doesn’t have to get him a gift, he’s given him everything. To one little spider guy, Grace is irreplaceable. That’s love.

the aroace read of ryland grace is so personal and haunting. "you don't even have a dog." was it not enough to love the world for the sake of living in it. was it not enough to live for the thrill of discovery. was it not enough to smile at your students. was it not enough to be afraid.

I learned a new concept

Graceful degradation is the ability of a computer, machine, electronic system or network to maintain limited functionality even when a large portion of it has been destroyed or rendered inoperative. The purpose of graceful degradation is to prevent catastrophic failure. (Tech Target, first result on the search engine)

[biglawbear]

Literal opposite of planned obsolescence. I love you graceful degradation.

[gallusrostromegalus]

Oh neat the first time I heard of the concept the guy described it to me as "catastrophic functionality".

He was talking about it in the context of designing robots that would go in and stop nuclear reactor meltdowns, something that would 100% destroy the robot, but they would be designed to keep functioning and fighting the meltdown for as long as possible. He had some designs where over 80% of the robot has died and it was functionally dragging its corpse around by its one working arm because one more minute of functionality might save thousands.

I've been having a few bad years mental health wise, and thinking about those robots a lot .

[maddie-2022]

This is also why NASA missions usually keep going so long after schedule. They are *masters* of graceful degradation, able to keep machines limping along on minimal power and after sustaining heavy damage

"No, you don't understand, you can't just disagree with the objective truth" ugh do you hear yourself? 🙄 Like when you talk? 🙄🙄 Because I can understand the words coming out of your mouth just fine. You are the one who doesn't understand: I can understand what you're saying and still disagree with what you said. But ofc your tiny mind can't understand that different people might have different world views than you and that doesn't mean they're objectively wrong. Just because your parents convinced you that you'll die if you ever try this doesn't mean that I will. Watch me.

This is a really fantastic return to form for this genre of post. In recent years there's been less and less effort put into this vital aspect of internet culture, it's nice to see a return to the truly artisanal work of the late 00s.

[phinarei]

Now THIS is what the internet exists for. I was LOCKED IN the whole time.

I still hate the concept of streaming. Edit your shit and get back to me. Not even Jesus was interesting enough to listen to 24/7

[pukicho]

Jesus Christ, I mean

[i-am-a-goddesses-bitch]

every western movie ever made: The wild west is dying. theres no more room left for cowboys anymore…

me everytime: :(

[nem0c-deactivated20260716]

every samurai movie ever made (both edo and bakamatsu periods): The bushido code is dying. there no more room left for samurai anymore…

me everytime: :(

[rickfuckingdalton]

A lot of westerns are remakes of samurai movies

[bonesawcagematch]

those samurai movies were very often heavily inspired by 50′s and 40′s westerns

[simon-newman]

Cowboys and samurai are brothers separated by time and space.

[eric-coldfire]

Best duo.

[breadgunner-deactivated20200418]

I’ve got y’alls new favorite art piece right here.

[phoxxent]

According to Google, Samurai were abolished in 1868.

This means that at the same time that cowboys were reaching their end, so too were samurai.

Cowboys and Samurai were separated not by time, only space.

[shoudesuka-mechadork]

I’ve got something else to add to this: there’s also an extremely specific species of mushroom that can only be found in Texas and Japan. I’m serious.
