I know shutting down everything would cause untold harm. But having flights become inherently unsafe from lack of ATC personnel, who are stressed, and might not be getting enough sleep, would likely also cause a lot of harm.

On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.

Now I just have a "2025 scraps" bullet (and soon "2026 scraps") that I put most things into. And I can do things from there. Or I could potentially use the new calendar feature and mirror stuff to other places so I can find that information in both places. So much easier!

This update in my thinking is important because it removes friction from me just putting stuff into Workflowy. I used to want to perfectly organize stuff. Put bullets in their "correct place" immediately. And this put a lot of internal pressure on myself that made it hard for me to use.

On top of that, I also realized that it just doesn't matter where I put bullets all that much. Especially when trying to quickly capture information. I can easily move them somewhere else later. Or mirror them somewhere else. Structure matters a lot less than I thought a long time ago.

No idea if it will do exactly what you want, but Workflowy has a "present" mode now which turns a series of bullet points into effectively slides. And it has a pretty generous free plan to see if it does what you want. Doesn't create a PPT file though.

Is there a specific threshold that's going to be hit (like SNAP on Nov 1) that is going to impact air travel? A friend mentioned it might get bad, but I haven't heard about any specific thing.

My wife and I have been enjoying a lot of "non-traditional" horror (or adjacent) movies this month, which has been great. I don't like "standard" horror movies. Some big winners have been stuff like: Get Out, A Quiet Place, and The Menu. Maybe Jurassic Park at some point.

Aaaah ok I get it now. So it’s about the first person not responding to that first response trying to guilt them. Makes sense. Thanks for clarifying for me!

I’m trying to understand what your therapist said versus the two responses here. Which one is supposed to be the better response according to what your therapist said? Something is going over my head

Also if you haven’t seen it already, @chipcheezum.bsky.social and @mynameisgrant.bsky.social did a let’s play series of MGSV that is, by far, the best let’s play on YouTube. Comprehensive, intelligent, and hilarious. Whether you’ve played the game or not, highly recommend watching it
