kal’s powers are the last gift of his first home. kara’s powers are the first gift of her new one.

I hate when qualified, hard-working, accomplished women who care deeply get taken out in favor of unqualified, brutish and selfish shitty men

i'm glad trump is ok. political violence destroys democracies. yet, i struggle to have empathy for what happened to him. this is a guy whose rhetoric is so violent. joking about shooting hillary clinton. asking generals if he could use armed forces to shoot protestors in the leg. saying there'll be a bloodbath if he loses in 2024, calling undocumented immigrants vermin and animals, asking the far-right, violent Proud Boys to "stand by" in the leadup to his 2020 loss and then inciting the jan 6th insurrection. making fun of nancy pelosi for a failed assasination attempt on her that led to the almost death of her husband. saying that the failed kidnapping and assassination attempt on michigan gov. gretchen whitmer "maybe wasn't a problem."

So so so much this OP. There’s this idea that “get it working shoddily and quickly so you can get the customers and the money then fix the issues with the money” and while there are a lot of problems with that mindset the one that drives me crazy is the idea that getting it working shoddily is easier and cheaper and quicker than getting it working right. This isn’t naivety because the naive position is actually that, of course shoddy engineering is quicker than good engineering. But in my experience it’s so much easier and quicker to build the second half of the building if the first half of the building isn’t actively collapsing underneath you. But management loves to be like “the people living on the first story of the building don’t mind the walls swaying, so just build the second story of the building on top real quick and then we can reinforce the first story.” And I’m going insane because it’s so much harder and worse to build the second story of a building on top of a swaying first story but what do I know.
