Having been named after a character in The Great Gatsby by my English-major dad, I thought I would ask about this.

having the Aviation Accident Investigations Autism™️ has actually done wonders for the way I process and respond to my own fuck-ups

[json-derulo]

And I don't just mean "oh, my little work mistake is actually nothing compared to a fiery crash that kills people," either. The reason commercial flight is so many orders of magnitude safer than any other form of transportation is because after every accident and incident, an independent regulatory body investigated it with the express goal of figuring out exactly what happened, why, and how to prevent the same thing from ever happening again—not to root out which person deserved the blame or the liability.

It's a simple, shockingly effective idea. It's also worlds away from how most people approach their own mistakes and the mistakes of others.

[json-derulo]

Because it’s never just one person’s fault. And even when it is, it still isn’t. 

The sharpest, best-trained pilots make worse decisions when they're tired or sick or stressed out, so there's two of them. The most dedicated and experienced air traffic controllers garble an instruction over the radio sometimes, so pilots are trained to always repeat clearances back to catch misunderstandings quickly. The best and brightest maintenance mechanic still overlooks a screw or misconnects a wire once or twice in her career, so aircraft systems are built with two or three or four layers of redundancy, and pilots are exhaustively trained to deal with failures safely. 

Everyone eventually has a bad day. Every component breaks down. Every computer gets a bad a Windows update and spirals into a reboot doom loop. If it’s possible for one person’s mistake to domino into a mushroom cloud of a fuckup, then that task is too critical to be one person's sole responsibility. The accident sequence starts with the design of the system—so how do you improve the system to keep it from happening again?

oh yeah. The “modern commercial aviation is the safest form of transport” thing only applies to planes, btw. A helicopter is a beautiful metal horse that wants to break its legs and die so so so badly

hatoful boyfriend singlehandedly ruined 99% of "parody" dating sims for me because it's like. i don't know how to explain it better than saying it's the galaxy quest of dating simulators. it's a very shameless and very silly parody, yes, but at the end of the day it ultimately takes its characters and its plot very very seriously, and all of its parody elements stem from a place of deep love and respect for the genre. you walk away from hatoful boyfriend's true ending knowing the creator loves the tropes she's poking fun at, and the world she's built up surrounding said tropes. it's a deeply silly and deeply stupid game with a deeply silly and deeply stupid foundation but it is extremely sincere. and this is the element so many dating sim parody games lack. they're too afraid to fully commit to their own genre, to make a proper effort to capture what makes it great, to be more than the stock shallow nothingburgers they assume all dating sims are. they're more obsessed with The Bit than they are making a good goddamn game. like. congratulations, you've made a wacky game about dating wacky objects and creatures!!!!!!!!! now make something with heart and soul for once.

anyway the important takeaway from this post is you should go play hatoful boyfriend (2011). Right Now.

im so sick of unnecessary dinner scenes in movies 😡 every fucking movie they just want to titillate you with some food because they think you’re a dumb animal who just wants to see mashed potatoes bouncing. if its an IMPORTANT dinner scene where they explain lore then whatever i understand. but they shove useless meals into every movie these days and its disgusting
