Every time I watch "NOPE" (one of my favorites, a "non-Spielberg Spielberg" masterpiece), I look at Ollie and say "you terrify me". And it's true. I fear for my life.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

My hot take of thanksgiving food items and recipes:
Make whatever the fuck you like. I don’t have to eat the fish heads in the Mac n cheese, so why do I care?

Was just messing around in GTA:V when I overheard an NPC complaining about immigrants, so I shot him and his buddies. So, to the actual question: do I need to let my employer know about this so they can take appropriate actions, or does the FBI automatically notify them? What's the etiquette here?

The pull of negativity, cynicism, and pessimism is so strong. Especially with social media. You get rewarded with likes and shares for the hottest and judgiest takes.
But finding joy and love in the little things and celebrating those things is much, much, MUCH more rewarding.

Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.
Hey gang I've had to learn recently that the whole "burning out" thing is real so if you find yourself being panicked every waking second that you're not working on something, despite those seconds being very rare, you should maybe listen to the signals and take an intentional break before you crash

In your life, you are an explorer on the far edge of timespace piloting a body that is an entirely unique configuration of some of our universe's wildest, rarest technology.
So, when you make a mistake, leave aside the language of shame and failure. Instead, try, "ah, fascinating."
Because you are.

Well, I'd say that's it for us as a species. Everyone is gone, "dead internet" became "dead city" and no one noticed.

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."
Pq democratizar a arte não é toda pessoa ter um desenho bonitinho feito em segundos, democratizar arte é toda pessoa ter tempo e saúde pra aprender e produzir arte se quiser mas principalmente ter condição pra pensar e se relacionar com arte com introspecção.
