ilya being 35 and exclaiming ‘before 20 i had done coke off my best friends ass, now i cannot have black tea with jam past 3pm or i won’t fucking sleep’ and shane says ‘before 20 you did what’

[eroscestlavie]

I need to stop replying to “how do you make friends in your 30s?” threads because all my answers boil down to “you have to want to know people instead of have friends” and I don’t think people wanna hear that

[eroscestlavie]

It’s like. People can tell if you don’t really like or connect with them. If you aren’t truly enamored with someone you will have a hard time coming up with activities to do together to deepen the friendship. Because you don’t really like that person that much.

holy shit I just discovered this crazy technique for being right almost all of the time it's called "double checking something before boldly stating it as if it were fact" this could be the next big thing. this could be the song of the summer

he really said yearning gay bottom eyes on national television

[beemovieerotica]

pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them

i love shane and ilya because shane could be standing there with the nastiest expression on his face, body language completely closed off staring somewhere above ilyas left shoulder and Ilya would interpret it as "Come Fuck This" and he'd be 1000% right.

they didnt even bother with bringing in a conventionally attractive actress for jensen ackles to make eyes at in the final seasons. they had to concede he’d been making eyes at the guy who read the demon slides in an interesting enough way for a callback and was meant to guest in like three episodes tops back in 2008 for too long

[sunforgrace]

thank you to the folks who pointed out the fact they got his actual wife in there and still didnt do anything with that. cas stole love interest slot from julie mcniven so bad not even real person reality could save them

i dont know why anyone else misses analog board games, but to me, it's because physical parts let me cheat. there's no moving pieces around when someone isnt looking in a chess app, no sneaking bonus pieces out of the graveyard in checkers, no double drawing cards in go fish.

i spent years developing those skills as a Professional Little Brother. what am i supposed to do now, go back to college? learn how to play games the right way? i mean, who gives a shit? the fun part was never the game, it was the Getting Away With It. or, you know, for the rest of my family, Catching The Bastard. now that was entertainment.

[inbabylontheywept]

@psychotic-induction-jazz its a cheap thrill. there's no fun at all in cheating just to win, but its a blast to cheat in such a way that you can, and eventually will, get caught. as a matter of fact, the harder it is to get away with the cheating, and the more blatant it is, the funner it becomes. lying about your cards when playing go fish is lame, because its chump easy and forcing people to check everyones hands every turn makes the game suck. drawing extra cards is hilarious though, because eventually you have like, 20 cards in your hand, and you're trying to hide that you have half the deck, and you just cant do it forever. eventually someone notices and then you get chased out of town with torches and pitchforks.

but part of the key is that you have to get to that 20 point. sticking at 8 cards just for the edge? boring. lame. weak. "oh i accidentally drew one, sorry, ill put it back" you're a weenie keeping plausible deniability because you're constitutionally unable to bear losing a card game. embarrassing. but getting caught with 20 cards, then trying to leap over the sofa only to get dragged back and beaten with sofa cushions for ten minutes? all while cackling about how blind everyone had to be to not notice sooner? thats a professional. thats how you die with honor.

good cheating has to be catchable. it has to be blatant. it has to be shameless. it cannot be done for real stakes. there should be no element of plausible deniability. there should be some kind of clear understanding that to the cheater, the cheating was more important than the winning. in games of skill, you should only cheat when facing opponents of higher skill than you, and you should never cheat for a minor advantage. big or nothing.

did i always meet that standard? no. but i knew the answers well enough to get my license, and by the time i had two digits to my age, by god, i stuck to my code like velcro. god will forgive an 8 year old of murder, but 10 year olds have to have standards.

[anthropologist-on-the-loose]

I'm as grateful for cellphones as the next person, but sometimes I think about how everyone having a phone on them at all times really did cause us to loose some things as a society. I mean - for example, kids these days will never experience their car breaking down and needing to find the nearest place with a phone they can use. They're never going to have the opportunity to tentatively approach a house only to discover that it's full of queer people having a party hosted by a transvestite to celebrate his creation of a sex homunculus, stay the night, and loose their virginity while unintentionally partaking in cannibalism. It's tragic, that kind of gay sexual awakening just doesn't happen these days because of cellphones.

having the Aviation Accident Investigations Autism™️ has actually done wonders for the way I process and respond to my own fuck-ups

[json-derulo]

And I don't just mean "oh, my little work mistake is actually nothing compared to a fiery crash that kills people," either. The reason commercial flight is so many orders of magnitude safer than any other form of transportation is because after every accident and incident, an independent regulatory body investigated it with the express goal of figuring out exactly what happened, why, and how to prevent the same thing from ever happening again—not to root out which person deserved the blame or the liability.

It's a simple, shockingly effective idea. It's also worlds away from how most people approach their own mistakes and the mistakes of others.

[json-derulo]

Because it’s never just one person’s fault. And even when it is, it still isn’t. 

The sharpest, best-trained pilots make worse decisions when they're tired or sick or stressed out, so there's two of them. The most dedicated and experienced air traffic controllers garble an instruction over the radio sometimes, so pilots are trained to always repeat clearances back to catch misunderstandings quickly. The best and brightest maintenance mechanic still overlooks a screw or misconnects a wire once or twice in her career, so aircraft systems are built with two or three or four layers of redundancy, and pilots are exhaustively trained to deal with failures safely. 

Everyone eventually has a bad day. Every component breaks down. Every computer gets a bad a Windows update and spirals into a reboot doom loop. If it’s possible for one person’s mistake to domino into a mushroom cloud of a fuckup, then that task is too critical to be one person's sole responsibility. The accident sequence starts with the design of the system—so how do you improve the system to keep it from happening again?

[json-derulo]

oh yeah. The “modern commercial aviation is the safest form of transport” thing only applies to planes, btw. A helicopter is a beautiful metal horse that wants to break its legs and die so so so badly

[podcastwizard]

some royal jewels were stolen from the louvre which is unfortunate for historical reasons but you gotta appreciate a classic crime. so many crimes are online these days it’s nice to see heist culture is still alive
