If the trash pickup people stop doing their job for two weeks you'd be throwing a fucking tantrum. Same for the janitors who keep your office spaces and bathrooms clean. (And that's before the various illnesses start to spread all over your city from the build up of pathogens.)
The people responsible keeping our spaces clean (and thus, mostly disease-free) should both be paid more AND thanked more.
The NY department of sanitation did actually stage a strike in 1968 that's still studied by trade unions today for how effective it was, there was a massive increase in rats and garbage fires, the army ended up getting called in to deal with what was eventually declared a national emergency. In a hilarious plot-twist the city's bank workers went on strike not long after, no-one cared, and financial services actually ran a lot more efficiently because people had been given fair warning and simply kept their money at home.
affirmations for my printer:
you are not out of paper
you have so much paper
it’s okay to function as intended
you are not out of ink
i just refilled that cartridge last month
you can connect to that computer you’re supposed to connect to
you’re allowed to print things
You can print in black & white without depending on any of the other color cartridges
truly nothing about house md prepares you for wilson. he's fucking insane. he's been divorced three times. he's the only person who can scheme just as well as house. he gives a patient his own liver bc he felt bad for him - a patient who didn't even know wilson's name. btw. he noticed a patient had depression bc he never mentioned his grandkids. he starred in a porno. he dosed house with antidepressants for several weeks. he allowed his boybestie and his gf to share custody of him and didn't even try to stop it. house told him to buy a piece of furniture that represented who he was, and he bought a $4000+ organ for house. he was gonna torpedo his career to talk abt euthanasia bc one of his patients suffered longer than he had to. he let house move into his 1 bed apartment bc his therapist thought it'd be a good idea. this man would do anything for anybody if they let him. he'd fucking quit his job to save a snail off the sidewalk. bro is not normal in the slightest
i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way

Bureaucracy is good and important, actually.
Except for the spelling of the word "bureaucracy"
Well that's conditional right?
Building safety regulations? Absolutely.
Having to go through 6 rounds of means and eligibility testing for each of the 5 benefits you're entitled to, probably not.
The problem is with the existence of means and eligibility testing, not the bureaucracy that manages the benefits.
To paraphrase a tumblr post: Do you think that's the paperwork's fault?
Means-testing is necessary whenever you have a large and varied population and limited resources. I'm all for scrapping the more inefficient aspects of it, like re-assessments for disability benefits for conditions that cannot and will not improve.
But (unpopular opinion) why exactly are people over 75 who own massive amounts of stock and property wealth still being given a state pension every month at the taxpayers expense?
Means-testing for 'universal' benefits should be along similar lines to how Child Benefit is calculated, if you're a standard rate taxpayer, or too poor to even pay any income tax at all, you should automatically be eligible, if you're a higher rate taxpayer you should either be disqualified or be taxed extra on it with the option to opt out.
UNPOPULAR OPINION: A lot of "mental health issues" disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Peace is expensive. And pretending money doesn't affect mental health is privilege.
Money adviser here: this isn't opinion, it's backed up by virtually every study I've ever read about debt relief and mental health. In the UK it's the reason we have a mental health crisis breathing space scheme to prevent people's creditors contacting them when they're undergoing psychiatric treatment.
One thing I rarely see talked about though is the vicious cycle either can create for the other. Most people in persistent debt develop some form of mental health issue, even if it's just mild GAD, but mental illness is also one of the surest ways to end up in problem debt in the first place.
Most people who come and see me have been through bereavement, relationship breakdown/divorce, physical illnesses, and (if they have children) challenges keeping that kid in school and out of trouble. And because those things do a number on your mental health, if they've managed to stay in employment through it all they'll probably still need to take time off work, cut their hours, or generally adjust to increased costs. That creates debt which in turn worsens their mental health even more. It's particularly heart-breaking when you see people who've been in abusive relationships on the receiving end of the same tactics from their creditors (being bombarded with correspondence making threats, bullying phone calls that leave them in tears etc.)
It becomes a bit of a chicken-and-egg matter after a while.
i think before you marry someone, you should sit down and go through the AITA subreddit with them and see what their take on those situations is
does your potential future spouse think it's reasonable for their mother to be involved in your family planning? or to make comments about your body? do you? how does your future spouse feel about girls and/or boys nights? situations involving exes? cancelling trips last minute? under what circumstances do they think it's reasonable to host somebody in your home and for how long? etc.
and the goal of doing this isn't to agree one-hundred percent on every single thing. it's to understand how you both view obligations, family, friends, finances, conflict, etc. and to make sure that even if you don't have the exact same perspective, you can understand where the other person is coming from without feeling like they're a crazy person. you have to be able to come to reasonable compromises and sometimes that involves one person fully caving, and sometimes it involves the other person fully caving, and sometimes it's both of you giving a little, but you need to understand what things you both are and aren't willing to compromise on because those types of situations are going to come up in a marriage.
also, since this has turned into actual advice: you should talk through why you think what you think, even when you agree, because you might not be agreeing for the same reasons.
This is genius, I'd just finished reaching 5 Arguments All Couples (Should) Have, and couldn't figure out why it was that I was on the same page with my partner of 10 years about all the big stuff, but we still managed to find so many smaller hypotheticals to disagree over, 10/10 would recommend this method to anyone thinking about tying the knot.

i hate the word spicy can we bring back calling things erotic
rolling up to Wendy's to get an erotic chicken sandwich
Rewatching The Good Place for a show that:
Successfully critiques the concept of eternal punishments/rewards in the afterlife by using the story to build up the critique. And didn’t just throw it in as a last minute justification for killing off an entire universe of people.
Never forgets that it’s a comedy, despite grappling with very deep questions and concepts. And didn’t pull a genre bait-and-switch at the eleventh hour.
Expresses a deep love for humanity by having its supernatural characters develop redeeming and lovable traits because of their interactions with humans, to the point they eventually fight alongside the humans to save the afterlife-world. And didn’t minimize the agency of human characters by reducing their role in the narrative and by implying that said traits of the supernatural characters were actually just immutable facets of their souls or something they had the whole time or whatever.
Involves the main cast of characters essentially choosing to die, but because the show let them have a prolonged happy ending/afterlife and let them freely choose when it was their time to move on, all after they changed their world for the better, it was actually bittersweet in the best way. And didn’t have every single being in existence get obliterated, including characters who never got to resolve their relationship issues or reunite with their estranged sister or get a real shot at a regular human life or or or
Man, it sure would be crazy if another show chose to do the latter, terrible thing in each of these examples, wouldn’t it? Anyways

the principal aim of lying is to accomplish your goal in as few lies as possible, and with the least amount of effort necessary to keep those lies going. It follows naturally that the world’s greatest liar speaks only the truth.

it’s funny how we’re getting to the point in the AI lifespan where you can feel the desperation from tech companies to have you use their AI features. instagram has moved their AI effects to the top of the menu when you’re creating a post for your story, exactly where the draw/edit button used to be. gmail is creating one-click AI-generated replies right before you open up the text box. spotify put a beta AI playlist generator on the front page that looks just like a search bar so all of their users accidentally click on it when they go to search for a song.
tech companies are shaking in their boots trying to prove to shareholders that their investment in AI is worth it, to the point where they’re tricking their users into using the AI features even for a split second in order to fudge the numbers. like awww is your little environment-destroying toy not wielding the results you hoped for? so sad!
I tried to use the web-based version of Adobe suite the other day, gave up after half an hour because there's literally no way to move the little Ai bar out of the way so it's not blocking part of your document, it was literally infuriating, like the software equivalent some someone standing in front of the screen during a film.
I know nothing about Star Fox, but I adore whatever it is they did to that cat character who used to look like the mascot of an icecream company and now looks like a sleep deprived war veteran who smokes a pack a day.
The original design outright sucks and I cannot believe the shift from saccharine disney furries to grungy taxidermy creatures is at all controversial.
