it’s far from the most important hill to die on but i do find it horrible how many public spaces have music playing 24/7. why do i need to be constantly stimulated. just bc companies did studies that said there’s a chance im more likely to spend money or whatever now i have to listen to ed sheeran in the bread aisle and charli xcx when im eating lunch? i dont even mind pop music. i just think its unasked for and and presumptuous and people dont understand how important quiet is for our brains

there is a running joke in my discord with my friend TheFilmTiwt, who to obfuscate his meatspace identity, states that he works at Weyland-Yutani. now it's pretty clear that he works in chain retail via context clues, but it's created (at least for me anyway) a funny AU where a close friend has to deal with milk droids, the Alien Queen taking all the good merch for her babies, sci-fi flavored corporate meddling, and of course, egg duty. i don't know how many other people in the Cabanas find it funny, but we certainly do, it's a very Saturday Morning Cartoon sort of humor.

this of course leads to the following conundrum. considering the capitalist dystopia we all exist in together in [CURRENTYEAR].

where would you rather work

OKAY YEAH I REMEMBER THIS ONE Basically it came from a survey done by Bank of America. Of only their customers. Of only those customers that had a long term savings account with them. And only surveyed 1500 of them. And that, friends, is how statistics is used to lie!!

Always ask who ran the survey, the study, the poll, ask how many people were involved, and ask about the breakdown of the demographics.

As someone who had to study statistics, this is important to know. So important that it’s one of the first things they taught me. “You can prove anything with statistics.”

to be clear, the issue with this sample is not the size of it (1500 can usually be representative so long as the entity doing the sampling actually cares about that), it's that the demographic surveyed was exclusively "people with long-term savings accounts with bank of america" which is necessarily going to skew results in a survey of financial behavior

Ok so Haumea, a dwarf planet beyond Pluto, spins so fast it gets elongated like this. This is just what it looks like. Something deeply unsettles me looking at it. Terrifying.

I use Canva for work and I am losing my mind over this image when you search for “fellowship” and “teamwork”

idk man

useless-catalanfacts

This is a very interesting case where cultural differences come into play. I see this and yes, immediately what I see is the visual representation of “fellowship” and “teamwork”! But to people from other cultures this can look like a bunch of people grabbing someone’s butt.

As has been evidenced by other Catalan people in the notes, this is very easily recognisable for us as the base of a castell.

Castellers (which in the Catalan language means “castle builders”) are people who climb on each other to make this “human castles”. It’s one of the most beloved Catalan traditions. It symbolizes the spirit of teamwork and inclusion, because all people come together to reach for the sky, which they could not be able to do alone.

Nothing symbolizes teamwork and belonging better than dozens of people holding your ass to give you strength!

Thank you, useless-catalanfacts, this knowledge enriches me.
