RIP to a quiet hero.

A good reminder in these times that even when powerful men act with impunity to do evil, tossing out callous orders left and right, that at the end of the day those powerful men often depend on ordinary, low-level workers to push a button somewhere, to flip a switch, to pull a trigger… and that those ordinary individuals have the power to say “no.” You can refuse to push the button, and you might save countless lives in the process.

ALSO a good timely reminder that automated systems can be wrong!!!! Sensors can be tripped incorrectly! Data can get corrupted! Electronics can fail! Machines shouldn’t make decisions!!!! There needs to be at least one human (ideally more than one for big decisions!) assessing the machine’s output, weighing it against other sources of information and the potential consequences, and making a rational, moral decision. Not just logical: RATIONAL.

Do you think live action adaptations should be as accurate as possible to the source material?

Yes (The source is the original artists intention/it's good no changes needed)

No (It should be transformative/I want to see someone's artistic interpretation)

Maybe (Depends on the material/creatives involved)

I need to know what everyone else thinks.. this is a burning question I ask friends constantly -- ESPECIALLY in the wake of video game movie/tv releases as of late

This also goes for novels and comics being adapted to live action formats, including stage plays/musicals if you have thoughts on that

An Abbreviated History of Selected Fortune Telling Methods by The Other Emily

Divination is the practice of seeking answers to queries by supernatural or ritualistic means. It may have connections to religious practices and is often more formal.

Fortune Telling, on the other hand, is more personalized and informal. It is based on the individual’s prospects.

While we often use these terms interchangeably, they are concerned with different things. Divination is trying to provide order and knowing to the unknowable, while Fortune Telling is more concerned with an individual’s future outcomes.

One thing that has made me a much more well-adjusted person is a clip I once saw of Hank Green saying that anyone can be in amazing shape as long as being in amazing shape is one of their top three priorities.

(This is obviously a generalization that isn't true for everyone. But it is true for most people and I'm proceeding from there.)

This "top three priorities" framing has genuinely reduced my tendency toward jealousy and self-comparison a lot. Now when I feel envious of someone’s spotless, aesthetic home, I think to myself, “Having a spotless, aesthetic home is probably one of their top three priorities. It’s definitely not one of mine, so I shouldn’t expect my home to look like that.”

Or when I see an influencer with a body that takes a ton of work to maintain: “Maintaining that body is obviously one of her top three priorities, because it’s her livelihood. My livelihood is my brain, so I’m never going to prioritize my body like that.”

It also helps me to identify areas that I actually DO want to prioritize more. I realized in recent years that my envy for my friends who prioritized writing more than I did was NOT going away, so I started to prioritize writing more. (Not top three, but higher priority than it has been in the past.)
