If You're Aware Of An Annoying Pattern You Keep Doing, You've Already Won Half The Battle.

imagine being a billionaire. like, you put in work, nearly fail, but push onward anyways. you develop something novel. you make it scale. you push the envelop to do something that's never been done before. but then, part of the thing you win in the end game is a bunch of communists saying you should die or that you should be forced to hand over what you've earned smh. what an infantile ideology

It's always annoying when a work of fiction presents a "revelation" that you didn't even realize was supposed to not be known. In Jennifer Government, there's a bit where this guy is infiltrating the villainous organization having copied the identity of a member of that organization. He meets a guy whose name is the same as his cover name, and a bit later he suddenly discovers that this is the person he's disguised as! In one Ghost in the Shell episode, they're looking through the pictures taken by a murder victim -- in a world where cybernetic implants are common, and which are clearly taken from his eyes rather than a camera -- and then much much later one of these crack professional detectives realizes that there's no camera and this is the key clue he needs to blow open the case. Even if I might buy someone from our time missing that, this guy lives in a world where such things are commonplace! How does he not realize this?

it's a shame you can't Cool, Silent, and Mysterious your way to being very close to people. we are unfortunately going to have to embarrass ourselves for this

Today I learned that in pre-Columbian, pre-Hispanic cultures like the Aztec, women and children were frequently sacrificed. Parents often authorized the sacrifice of their own children. Some even ate their own children.

Vegetarians/vegans are so annoying when they're like, "There's no way to ethically kill an animal." Like, dude. Have you seen how animals kill each other in nature? Venomous snakes watch their prey cripple from venom, or sometimes Grizzly bears eat their prey alive (there are endless examples)💀💀 Be happy that the animals we eat are shot or have their throats slit!!

The cool thing about doing math professionally is that you can work anywhere - on your walks, in the shower, as you fall asleep - just by rotating problems in your head. What's not so cool is that this drives you insane
