Where d I got karma???
What did they say? This place has gone to shit.
5/7 with rice.
Family/close friends/doctors: 95% (I only don’t if I’m in the toilet, at the doctor, or etc).
Unknown/unsolicited: 0%. If it’s important, leave a message or fuck right off.
Nearly 98% of my calls come from that last group, though, so basically never.
I’m a user experience designer. My favourite story is from aviation engineering. I don’t remember the year or all the details, but the US Navy had put stupid amounts of money and time into engineering a new fighter jet. It was worked out on paper and built to exact specifications. Then, during the first human test of it, the pilot ejected on the tarmac before it took off. The plane crashed, obviously, but the pilot couldn’t explain what happened (apparently he had a concussion from his unscheduled landing).
The plane was built again, and shortly after takeoff, the pilot again ejected without explanation.
What the fuck was going on?
In the retelling I heard, someone finally noticed the design of the cockpit was to blame. In trying to cram all the standard controls plus new ones into the smallest amount of space, the designers had moved the eject lever right next to the lever to adjust the seat position – they’d coloured the eject lever red, but the pilot couldn’t see that since it was below and slightly to the right of his ass, and both levers were the same size and shape. Nobody noticed this was a problem until at least two pilots accidentally ejected on takeoff.
This might be apocryphal, I don’t know, but I learnt it as an example of how things might look good on paper, but you can’t really know until a user fucks everything up.
They’re not required here. You just plop your child in your regular car with no changes whilst they’re learning. It’s insane. I bought a magnetic sign to warn people though, because that seems nuts to me.
I was making a joke tho.
Little Bobby tables learns to drive.
This is smart. When my son was learning, I put a magnetic ‘student driver’ sign on my car, too. More people should do this. It’s just polite.
I hadn’t heard of that, thank you! That trailer looks amazing. I’m excited for it now, too.
This physically hurt me.
Who can I sue? Any lawyers in the chat?
Your man card wasn’t forfeited, it’s gilded. Only real men can appreciate art.
Have you seen Sondheim’s Into the Woods? It’s a masterpiece. It’s on Prime if you haven’t seen it. It stars Chip Zien, Bernadette Peters, Joanna Gleason, Tom Aldredge, and other big names. I’d like to see anyone say Zein, Aldredge, and Sondheim aren’t ‘real men’.
Yes, and the man who proposed the theory retracted it later, saying it would be like basing human behavioural theory on observations made in a supermax prison.
That actually makes sense that these losers would venerate it, since the behaviours they idolise are very like what you’d see in prisons: machismo instead of real manhood, narcissism and subjugation instead of empathy, and hatred instead of compassion.
It’s definitely black. It has a bit of sheen and looks dark blue in the photo because of that.
Thank you. I’m sorry for your loss, too.
It does not. It’s paper, with a bit of a sheen.
I think the suggestions it’s an inventory sticker that was accidentally included make the most sense.
I’m so sorry. That’s really hard. I hope you’re okay.
Thanks.
I didn’t work directly with the crematorium, so I’ll have to track them down, but thanks!
I was wondering if this was a known thing that I just wasn’t clued into, but apparently not.
I’ll probably do that, thanks!
The possibilities are endless.
