Big things are hard to lose. Small things are way easier. You might think that this is an obvious fact, but somehow I keep forgetting it every time I do a project. Little bits, like a bracket, or a connector, or a tiny lick of paint, keep pushing things into the "get around to it" bucket even though the big parts are all done.

Again, this is also not really a surprising thing to anyone. After all, we're told from elementary school to sweat the details, to focus on the little stuff to set our work apart from the kids who colour outside the lines and use the wrong glue for macaroni art. There's still a deadline, though, which means that at some point you gotta stop fiddling with it and get it out the door.

We abandon this school rigour when we enter the real world. Even at big office jobs, sometimes getting things done on time is not really that important. Or doing them completely. Or doing them at all. And at home? You could spend an entire lifetime sitting next to your broken car, drinking beer, muttering about how you're too tired to work on it tonight, but you'll surely get around to it once that special bolt comes up on eBay.

I say: take a lesson from your kindergarten teacher. Set a deadline, and hand in whatever you've got done. Missing a bracket? Fuck it, Home Depot has door hinges and a welding torch. At least that way, you're driving the thing instead of muttering about how it would be super cool to drive the thing one day. Just make sure the little bits you skimp out on are not part of the steering linkage. Brakes? Eh, a detail. They just slow you down anyway.

Guy who has a non-research degree in a field that never studies human subjects: Here are my opinions on what needs to be done for me to respect this field I've decided to become a denier of.

[Extreme breach of scientific ethics]

[Violent abuse of power]

[Method that actually doesn't obtain any information]

[Controlled double-blind studies of phenomena where that is literally impossible]

[Seeking empirical proof that a word has the meaning that it's defined as]

[Study that would have a dropoff rate of 100%]

Additionally, how do we know that [best currently available theory] is true, and not [dominant theory from 100 years ago that repeatedly failed in the face of evidence]? I have found some minor methodological flaws in [studies that were not designed to prove the best available theory, but rather examine edge cases within that theory], so we should really consider [nonsense with no evidence backing it whatsoever].

There is so much casual ableism towards people with intellectual-cognitive disabilities. I was listening to a podcast I listen to religiously (and is a very very leftist podcast) and they hit me with the "you'll understand this unless you are Three Years Old." And it was something I didn't understand. And this podcast (that I love!) does this quite frequently. The hosts would never purposely make fun of someone for their disability- but they say things like "no one is that stupid" or similar quite frequently. And as someone who is that stupid- it kinda fucking sucks.

[vampire-loving-vampire]

out of all kinds of people, even among disabled people , we are among some of the most vulnerable largely because the idea of us existing in and participating in society like a person is completely unfathomable to almost EVERYONE . like u said , even people who are leftist strongly in every single other way .

Seeing people detransitioning or deciding not to come out explicitly because of how scary it is for trans people right now makes me want to just go apeshit, like actually start killing and not stop until I am put down. Fuck this hateful evil society
