it feels so evil that you can't still access your university online library after you graduate *remembers my principles* it feels so evil that everyone can't access to that stuff all the time

I still won't forget when my wisdom tooth got infected and couldn't sleep bc the pain was so bad and I took like 4 of those those blue gel ibuprofens and I finally fell asleep for a couple hours and kept having dreams about beautiful glowing blue animals that help you and I kept waking up thinking the blue animals will help me and realizing wait what are blue animals they aren't real and immediately falling back asleep thinking about the blue animals again

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

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?

I’ve always kind of had that problem with being 50-100 years behind on pop culture. I had no siblings and I grew up without a (broadcasting) TV so I was watching VHS tapes of old movies instead of what my peers were watching. I think I was in the 2nd grade when I tried to read The Picture of Dorian Gray for the first time. I listened to the music my family listened to, which was classic country, 70s soft rock and 80s alternative.

There was one incident where I was very young and my mom brought me to a Dora the Explorer themed birthday party and my mom slowly realized I had no idea who Dora the Explorer was and was completely baffled. My favorite TV show at that age was The Munsters. After that, mom tried to keep me up on pop culture so I’d be able to relate to my peers better, we watched High School Musical 1 & 2 together and she played Radio Disney on car rides so I’d get to listen to more currently culturally relevant things like Whip My Hair instead of Summer Breeze by Seals & Crofts for the 478th time.

It did not work. Was a valiant effort from mom but I was an autistic kid who’s special interest was history so I was going to be a loser socially either way.
