creative at heart

An interesting game where you are presented with 10 artifacts from the MET. You have to place where the artifact is from and what time period it is from. Each artifact scores up to 10,000 points, and you lose points the further away your guess is and how far off in time you are. You can only play once a day. Thanks to @baebeylik for showing this to me.

Today I scored really well. Yesterday ... not so much.

Ok this might need to be added to a routine.

The kid was picked up by an ambulance 30 minutes later.

Now as an adult working in security I get SO MANY folks- upper-middle aged mostly- coming to me to 'rat out' people they think are faking it.

I was once sent into a bathroom because a client demanded that the "fucker won't get out, so go drag them out"- I was NEVER going to do that, so I did a wellness check instead. You know who it was? A person recently released from the hospital after a car accident. They had a hole in their skull and major hearing loss. They couldn't answer the owner because they couldn't HEAR the owner.

Another time about a homeless man who got around town by kicking the ground from his wheelchair. "You know he doesn't actually need that thing, his legs work fine, it's just for pity points"- Oh, so he's not paralyzed, his wheelchair is performative? Funny story Dale, I actually know that guy, he was backed over by a truck and has chronic pain from his shattered pelvis. But sure, let's make him stand up and walk everywhere so nobody feels too bad for him and tries to help him or something.

"She doesn't need that scooter, I've seen her get out of it."

"Look how fat he is, because he just rides around and refuses to get up."

"She doesn't really need that cane- she comes here without it all the time"

No, the average medieval King wouldn’t execute you for witchcraft if you tried to explain the principles behind electricity to him, as long as you took enough care in doing so. He would likely connect it back to things like waterwheels and such, because guess what ? Just like you’re working off your cumulative knowledge, he’s working off his.

I mean, some might, but that’s not a “medieval people are stupid” thing, it’s a “some humans are stupid” thing. I’m sure plenty of modern people would do the same, because guess what ? Modern people are not biologically smarter than ancient people.

Just like you’re not biologically superior to that beggar down the street because you can define “mitochondria” and he can’t.
