My father is a classic layabout lazy bastard. He's the guy that people try to stereotype people on benefits as when they call them "dole bludgers". Sits in a filthy house all day whining that his wife won't clean it up, gets a great idea for a new business every few months and gives up after two weeks when it becomes clear that starting a business is hard, does everything he can to avoid doing a single scrap of work in life, uselessly drags his feet when the government forces him to actually do some.

Or at least, he was, until about three years ago, when he was sent off to do mandatory Work for the Dole at a volunteer organisation. He'd done a lot of Work for the Dole in the past, of course, and like most people who are forced to do a shitty job under the threat of starvation, was neither enthusiastic nor particularly useful. But in this particular place, he was given a job that he could do better than anyone else (he was one of 2 men working with a legion of elderly women, and the only person able to easily haul around the heavy goods that the organisation works with). He quickly found himself with a job he could understand, he could see the clear utility in, and that his coworkers greatly valued him for. He started arriving on time every day, putting in the effort, getting shit done. He started caring about the results. And when his Work for the Dole time was up, he kept volunteering.

He's one of two people paid to work in that warehouse now (the other person being the manager), and he's a lynchpin of activity there, their sole regular and reliable source of physical labour. When he takes holidays, they have to plan around it, because his consistent hard work has become such a critical asset to their work. And he's not taking nearly as many holidays as he should -- he works extra unpaid hours, lifts loads that are somewhat heavier than he should be lifting, shoulders the work of others when they need breaks, and we all have to urge him to take more days off for his health since he's not a young man any more. For my entire life this man has been a pile of old mud in the shape of a human, and the instant he found a job that fulfils his needs, he won't fucking stop. He's gonna die in that warehouse and die happy.

#100% correct #it seems like the three basic pillars of enjoying your work are #1) feeling competent at The Thing #2) feeling valued for The Thing #and 3) feeling like The Thing is worthwhile

Does the rest of the world know about tides in Britain. In fact do British people know about tides in the rest of the world. The average tidal range in the British isles is like 5 metres. The average range in the USA is like 1. The highest is I think the Severn estuary which hits 15 metres?? The Mediterranean is like 30cm. Why is this island doing this to us (rhetorical don’t make me get into wavelengths)??? The tide in Morecombe Bay has a top speed of 10mph or 30mph in the surge channels (it kills people). Do people know about this?? I just assumed the whole world was like this you mean the rest of you don’t get drilled on looking up the tide times before you go to the beach???

ineptshieldmaid

Oh interesting! I (Aus) do pay attention to tide times because the shoreline in my hometown is a lot of shallow flat that isn’t swimmable at low tide.

At the surf beaches I grew up near you do keep some awareness of the tide (particularly at what point the turn from high tide is obviously what’s causing the undertow), but it’s not a hazard in itself- it’s the interaction between tide, wind and seasonal factors creating rips that you worry about. Unless you’re a surfer, the lifeguard designated swimming area will have marked out a safe spot.

I just checked, the biggest tidal difference at my favourite beach is 2m.

Huh.

And then there's the Bay of Fundy, 16 meters average tide

thelittleblackfox

My favourite (and nearest) beach - Buck Beck beach near Cleethorpes, has a horizontal tidal range of 1.5 miles.

(I love going out there at low tide because the constantly shifting sands throw up old wrecks from the Humber Estuary, the occasional car, and one time a downed WW2 plane

The vertical tidal range is around 6 meters, but when the tide comes in its fast and you can easily get trapped on one of the many sandbanks. In the spring we get high tides of around 7-8 meters

Which is why there's no buildings or paved roads within a couple of miles of the beach

feanna

In northern Germany (and Denmark/Netherlands) with the Wattenmeer you have a tidal range of up to 40 km (25 miles). You can hike to an island that's about 11 km from shore during low tide (which I did twice as a child with a sports club, and you either stay the night and walk back/take a horse carriage back or take a boat back).

(And I feel like the Mediterranean (and also the Baltic Sea) don't count for comparisons of tidal ranges, they bascially don't have tides that count.)

iplaywithstring

I grew up on the bay of fundy. There are many places - including the road to a historic site - that can only be accessed at low tide. I love the time-lapse above, but I don't think it accurately gives the scale.

This is a common scene all along the coast.

Guy who never feels like his problems are “bad enough” to be taken seriously: what if I hurt the character so horrifically that everyone around them could not possibly deny the severity of their pain even if the character themself tries to downplay it.

Truth. Experts can be wrong but if they are mostly right or we wouldn't have modern medicine or satellites or computer chips.

Years back, Jay Smooth called this "arrogance in ignorance," something that has stuck with me. I've always thought of it as a particularly American mindset--not just being proud of not understanding a topic, but believing that one's ignorance somehow gives one a leg up on experts. Please, y'all. If you don't know something, then you don't know!

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge’.” —Isaac Asimov, Newsweek, 21 January 1980

"adventurers are actually more scared of you than you are of them"

"he's literally just doing what an adventurer is supposed to do"

"do you think they think of us as Giant Adventurers?"

"do you know how many other creatures would be infesting our cave if there were no adventurers?"

"how would you like it if you were bumbling along on your little adventurer day, and some giant dragon thing squished you for the crime of being yourself?"

"y'know, so many dragons are grossed out by them, but i think they're fascinating! Did you know some adventurers form symbiotic relationships with small monsters? Some of them even do a simplified form of spellcraft! Like, with actual magic and everything!"

"Of course they are swarming your cave, you dolt! You captured a juvenile queen and took it home with you, what did you expect!?"

it’s never a normal temperature anymore it’s always some fucking bullshit

rosslynpaladin

I need you young people to know it was almost never this hot when I was a child. Millennials and Gen Xers are all nostalgic and excited about summer because it was about ten to twenty degrees cooler to experience it back then!

I cannot express to you how FAST it has gone. I grew up in a world that does not exist now. We're starting on the path to reverse it, globally. You might not know how much solar has EXPLODED in the last decade or two. It's gone from a side thing, a weirdo novelty that was just Not Viable... to whole countries investing in infrastructure. but we have to keep fighting big oil and fascism everywhere we can in order to keep on this road to a new better less scorching burning earth.

But any time you wonder wtf the weather is doing- THIS IS NOT NORMAL, NO. THIS IS NOT WHAT IT WAS EVEN TWENTY YEARS AGO.

some of y’all bout to be real mad at me. but it must be said. some of the shit u call corny/cringy is actually just genuine/cute/sweet and y’all r just afraid of expressing any type of positive emotion

kagcomix

i work with youth and they loooooooove to go “ew that’s so cringe” the moment anything earnest even grazes their orbit.

my general line that i send back to them is “hm. not sure i really believe in ‘cringe.’ it kind of sounds like you’re choosing to be embarrassed right now.”

#“cringe” used to just mean secondhand embarrassment #but nooooo its gotta be a whole thing now
