The pilot -> astronaut pipeline makes complete sense but is also funny to me. There's a secret second sky and if you get good enough at doing sky you can do space.

I'm sorry the school system failed you but some of you have to gain an ounce of curiosity about the world, especially when it comes to history, international relations/politics, and race, women's/gender & queer studies (ditto any marginalized group).
You don't need to memorize whose cousin twice removed was an infantryman who stubbed his toe at Gettysburg but you should be able to understand in broad strokes the chains of cause and effect that lead to the world looking like it does today. You should have cultural context for alliances or enmity between nations. You should understand how indigenous/black/queer/disabled people or women/immigrants/etc. were treated in your country until recently, and are today, if you don't have firsthand experience.
A lot of weird, shocking and nonsensical aspects of society are elucidated by this context, and while it likely doesn't make it less horrifying or surprising you'll learn few things are unprecedented. You might even pick up some tips and tricks for affecting positive change and resisting regression.
Just for the love of god learn from reputable sources (libraries, librarians, museums and museum programs are a good starting point) and don't take anything you learn on tiktok/tumblr/etc. as fact without digging into it first.
Can we please talk about the conservatism inherent in implying all women with short hair are butch?

Catgirl Old Dominion. Call that Virginyaa~
i had a thought
Learning there are "trinket trading posts", which are operationally identical to Little Free Libraries but for small, cheap items of interest. And being sent into low earth orbit finding out that some of the people managing them, despite having heckin' goblincore anti-capitalist crow-culture be-gay-do-crimes smol bean personalities and aesthetics, are setting up cameras to surveil the boxes to ensure that only high quality """""trinkets""""" like sanrio plushies and labubus and sonny bonos or whatever tf those little ugly babies are called are being traded, and not worthless bullshit like cool rocks or small art/craft pieces or jewelry or non-influencer toys. That's not very frog-in-a-cowboy-hat of you, quirk chungus.
