Qualifying exam tomorrow. Slides still not finished, but most notes are addressed. Still need to write out the full script and practice it. Overall, I think I’m still a little too burnt out to panic, so I think we’ll be fine

Had an AI take my order at McDonald’s. I worked fast food for 3 years and I can’t imagine how much worse that would have made my life back then

well you know what they say. when you've invested billions of dollars into hammers every problem looks like a nail and you keep handing these hammers to your users and they go "i don't really think i needed this hammer" and "but i don't have any nails that need hammering in right now" and "this is not a nail this is a glass vase that will break if i hit it with a hammer" and "didn't you used to have, like, other tools avaliable that might be better suited to this job" and you tell them to suck it up because you've replaced all your screwdrivers and wrenches and box cutters and crates and ladders and paint with hammers because your shareholders need to see an increase in value from your hammer investments

Mary and Henry Crawford’s Flawed Moral Codes

I believe that in general, people who do bad things justify it to themselves and find a way to feel like what they are doing is normal. People don’t want to be evil, they want to convince themselves that their actions are justified. An Austen villain like Wickham’s moral code is probably pretty simple, something like, “I deserve it so I should have it.” But with the Crawfords it’s far more complex, which is part of the reason why they are such interesting characters and why I get so angry when people think Henry is just a cheating cheater who cheats (his flaw is vanity not lust!).

As a preface, I am not excusing Henry or Mary’s behaviour, I am trying to understand the psychology of their characters.

For background, Henry and Mary are orphans who have been raised in a fairly broken home. Admiral Crawford and his wife hate each other and it seems fair to suppose by Admiral Crawford’s actions after his wife’s death, that he probably had a mistress/affairs and wasn’t even kind enough to be discreet. Mrs. Crawford, according to Mary, was miserable. The Crawford’s upbringing and the fact that they have mostly lived in London, are important to their characters according to the narrator.

Both siblings don’t seem to really think that love exists, which is the basis for their behaviour.
