Musk is basically the real life version of Tony Stark during his asshole drunk phase. *shrug*
Dude is a dick. He is a bit insane. But he has money and is throwing it into things that should probably be looked at because if they do work out will be a pretty decent social good.
Tesla is a great example. If it works out it is a nice electric car with a good driving range. The battery systems his company is developing will help make solar as a single or majority source really possible in a lot of different regions. SpaceX is neat and at least means we are still shooting rockets. LEO is also something that could probably stay private and let the public try the more expensive farther ranging stuff, if people remembered we get great returns on investment for it because the tech filters to the private sector.
Shit like the neural implant? If they get it working it is world changing. And can do a lot of good for folks with lots of medical issues.
And it is one step closer to me getting a robot body.
Still Musk is a dick and I would refuse to work for him without a big raise no matter how much I want his projects to succeed.
I see that agree "Blameless Cleric"
Are you telling me that if SpaceX wanted you to draw animated rockets for an elementary school video abkut the value of exploration, you would refuse because Musk is personally distasteful?
Come on now.
You act like Musk would pay artists in currency rather than "exposure"
Toukiden suggests the sword as a beginner-weapon, but it's actually pretty fancy.
The naginata is probably the friendliest, happiest weapon to use. It just wants you to mash the button so it can get faster and faster and hit more and more things at the same time with its nice, wide swings that will probably hit the things you want to hit. And if you can't reach something, it has a big jump that just goes up so that you don't need to aim where it goes.
The fanciest thing it has is a little dodgy-dodge stance that seems pretty lenient on timing.
I want to take a nap at work but the help desk area is shielded only by glass walls
We have a "sick room." It's just a room with a bed and no windows.
I think it may have been previously used for pregnant mothers to breastpump, but now it's just called our sick room.
It's fucking great. When I get a migraine I can go lie down in pitch-black quiet room until my medication kicks in. We need to pass a law that every company over X employees should have one of these.
They're also nice places to get a beej
I mean, so I am told
Here is an actual useful post. I strongly encourage everyone to study it closely and identify the........

I like the interplay between Antimemetics and Fifthism, but as corny/hammy as SCP-1425 may get, I genuinely got creeped out by some of the book excerpts, as well as the curious usage of Fifthist-toned words that cultists randomly let creep into their vocab

"and the morning stars I have seen
and the gengars who are guiding me" -- W.S. Merwin
I would honestly like to prolong that hesitation and intimacy right before the kiss, that's what I really want from a quickly-becoming-real blindfolded chat makeout session
Just that moment of near-connection...
carbonite freeze me as I am about to kiss a beautiful puppy, for ever
To be suspended at the crest of the wave of anticipation the moment before it breaks ... forever ....
The actual worst
The anticipation so completely surpasses the event though...
I wonder if disliking anticipation is a characteristic of having a lifelong mood disorder like depression or anxiety.
Because what I anticipate is always far worse than reality.
Sometimes I don't even anticipate a catastrophe! I just anticipate that the event will be disappointing. Then when it's actually kinda okay then I feel better.
It has taken a lot of effort to not always anticipate catastrophe. I think Querry's been very helpful in this regard (I feel very secure with her, which is new).
I'd bet it's associated.
For me, it's common for me to anticipate that either:
1) The thing I'm anticipating isn't going to happen at all. This happens a lot when traveling. Once I'm in the airplane seat and in the air, I relax. Beforehand, I'm worried that I'm going to get held up at TSA and miss my flight, or there will be some dumb mechanical problem with the plane and the flight will get canceled.
I don't worry that the plane will crash or anything like that. Just that I'll end up sitting in an airport terminal playing a game on my phone.
2) The thing I'm anticipating won't be fun. This happens a lot when dating and going to parties. I don't want to go because it's going to be stupid and I'm not going to connect with anybody and I'd just have a better time at home listening to Swans playing video games.
Hmm
I worry about the plane crashing, and that's actually been worse lately (I think my fears around catastrophic things have gotten worse since meeting Querry, because now I am VERY NOT AMBIVALENT about death and dying, because there are so many things I have to do and something really, really worth living for).
I find it interesting because I sort of have like, the more anxious version of those fears? I'm not afraid things will be not fun, I'm afraid that they'll suck (I way overprepared for the first date with Querry, for example), and I'm way more likely to worry about catastrophic failure than being held up (if it's held up I'm like, whatever? And rarely actually feel anxiety about it).
Going through TSA checkpoints is anxiety producing for separate reasons, but I have my global entry now, so suck it plebes, basically.
omg yes. TSA Pre-check and Global Entry are godsends.
I mean, to a certain degree it feels like a racket. They imposed additional barriers on us, that we know don't do much good, and then charge us money to circumvent those barriers.
But that's the world we live in, and $100-ish every 5 years to deal with significantly less TSA bullshit? Fuck yes.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
It's a bit of a hint that these are sort of mind control phrases
Some helpful advice that will save you in your coming weeks:
Mirrors are for other people.
Sit in a dark room by yourself for at least an hour per day. Move around as much as you’re made to.
If you feel yourself developing a soul, go outside immediately and follow the direction of the smoke until you meet them.
Always listen for the sound slon of trwoll plr mlgn thei.

Tilder suggested that it might be unethical to pay, because of its racketlike nature. Since Global Entry is paid to CBP (I think) it feels less gross, though, and like... I don't really have an option, honestly, without making flying a supremely shitty experience (much more so).

I love introducing my boss to new people as the OWNER of the company, and I do the NWO wolf pack thing and lean towards him.
Ok, you have to be there
in the yale youtube course on early medieval europe when talking about Bede the prof mentioned that he is p much certainly the most educated, learned person in europe at the time. But the very fact that it is possible to indicate that someone is clearly the most educated is a sign of how much of civilization had broken down. In a well functioning society there would be so many candidates it would be impossible to say.
in much the same way, i think being able to say that X single person owns a company says more about the size of the company than the importance of the person
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

Part of Precheck and Nexus/GE is a background check. It's a fairly extensive one since they pull international data. I had a PI I know give me a rough price for an Interpol check and it was $70 if I did it through him. So the $100 is about in line with what the background check would cost.
Also at my work we have multiple levels of security and I post from my laptop on our contractor wifi which has the fewest barriers. It's segregated from our production network and has its own firewall and Internet connection.
Yet www.scp-wiki.net is still blocked because our firewall categorizes it as "tasteless/gore."

However airline status often does carry over if you book the tickets correctly. So if you had access to the priority lane then the person traveling with you gets it too.
