Having a job is an awesome way to stay hydrated because you get so bored you start drinking water just for a little excitement

Cast Away (2000)

[sandersgrey]

straight up saw someone referring to things like Heartstopper and Love, Simon as "tame and sterile queer media" and its like. im sorry but perhaps the soft queer media aimed at teens doesnt need to have sex and gore in it. like i will be the first to criticize the idea that teen media can be overly censored but you need to look at the fucking genre. are straight romcoms tame and sterile bc the girl with glasses thats going to have a makeover in the second act isnt getting fingered on screen. get a grip

[sandersgrey]

and moreover the idea that those shows/movies are just unrealistic sap when they also deal with homophobia and mental illness just in a more hopeful way that doesnt get too dark with it because again its meant to be for a wider teenage audience is frankly ridiculous. im sorry if your dark and sophisticated tastes arent getting satisfied by the fun media made for teens but perhaps you should seek out shows made for your demographic. i do understand that those are also in short supply but thats not the fault of the queer teens who are seeing themselves on screen in a hopeful way for the first fucking time.

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

What doesn’t get talked about enough is that, all those 40-something years, Rocky had all the supplies he needed to go back home. He had the fuel, he had the food. But he didn’t. He tried and tried and tried. He kept going. He took measurements, gathered data, built new Astrophage samplers but could never get it right. He maintained the Blip-A, a ship that was built in a hurry and just kept breaking, for over FORTY YEARS. When Grace found him, Rocky wasn’t just sitting idle in orbit. He was still working, still trying, he hadn’t given up. He was tracking the stars, probably to watch for a potential second mission from Erid, when he spotted the Hail Mary in reverse-thrust. Rocky calls Grace brave. Truly, Grace is. But I’d compare Rocky more to Stratt. How much of yourself would you be willing to sacrifice to save your planet? Rocky was willing to stay at Tau Ceti for the rest of his life until he either found a solution, or died.

Free service with ads: Well, if I'm not paying for it they have to foot the bill somehow.

Paid service with no ads: Well, if they're not funding it with ad revenue, they need to charge us something.

Paid service with ads: Well that's bullshit.

"We used to be a paid service without ads, but now we're putting ads in it! If you want the ad-free version you have to pay more for preeeeemium": Fuck you fuck you fuck you

Remember when layoffs were embarrassing for the company because it meant they were failing and not an acceptable business model

[fabulousglitch]

We need to bring back social shaming of business leaders for failing their employees.

I think it's so important and crucial for 20 year olds to witness older people who are genuinely bad at some aspects of being a person but are still living lives they find meaningful and enjoyable. Not just "oh I got married and you can too" but like. sometimes you cannot for the life of you finish college or find a good job or stay in a relationship or arrive to locations on time or whatever it is you think when you're 20 that you HAVE to be able to do. But you wind up finding a place in the world anyway. It happens!
