Ken M, is that you? (i hope so!)

hot air balloons isn’t something i had given much thought to before. thank you for your responses here!

what does a crew do exactly? for that matter, what does the work of a pilot look like? i have been reading your comments, and i can see that planning is certainly a part of it.

which one… Elon? (i’m all for it)
- Comment on Best Buy Membership "discount" 5 months ago:
i posted about having this experience on reddit a year or two ago and people were pissed? but yeah, empty shelves and barely any employees. it sucks, because i used to enjoy going there to see what’s new.
- Comment on Tacos. 5 months ago:
unfortunately, this is often true in big cities as well.
things are a lot better in that regard than they used to be. dv is no longer by default regarded as a “private matter,” laws and resources have improved.
on the flip side, dv can be hard to prove, especially to a busy cop or judge. and policing is also not a profession adverse to abusers.
- Comment on Hardcore 6 months ago:
let me be more direct then - i find it difficult to take your view on the whole of academia seriously when its basis appears to be the “experience” of a “friend,” particularly keeping in mind you have already wholly dismissed social sciences. i understand that statements such as yours are not invitations to actual conversation.
good night.

yes, dispense upon us your second-hand, bitter expertise. i’m certain you have the Truth, the Facts, and the Data.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
i mean, a great many people don’t appreciate being told they are murderers. it provokes defensiveness rather than an openness to pro-vegan arguments.

i’m not sure how this could really work. good therapy requires the person of the therapist, and i think it additionally takes place within the context of a client’s living. are there therapists willing to give up subjective years over and over and over? how does the client try new things, gain understanding without the feedback of their life between sessions? also - therapists seek information and process their work with clients between sessions.
on top of all this, i’m not yet convinced this would be psychologically healthy for either.

this was me about six hours ago! thanks, brain.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 7 months ago:
i like the idea of AI as a tool artists can use, but that’s not a capitalist’s viewpoint, unfortunately. they will try to replace people.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 7 months ago:
i think you’re missing the point, which i took as this - what arts and humanities folks do is valuable (as evidenced by efforts to recreate it) despite common narratives to the contrary.
- Comment on car insurance 7 months ago:
i have never been in a serious accident. over 30 years driving, probably 2/3 of it in major metro areas with notably terrible traffic, and i have had maybe 5 fender benders… i would have to really think about it.
driving is absolutely dangerous and terrifying. but wow, it’s kinda nuts that the person in the screenshot has had so many accidents!
- Comment on Thrill seekers 7 months ago:
i mean, i hear you on choosing your end, but i have known some folks who enjoyed later life. my mom died suddenly a couple years ago, and she confessed to me over the last couple years that she was ready to go when her time came. that said, i think she was happier in her early 70’s than i had ever known her to be otherwise. and my family certainly doesn’t have money to smooth the way.
i think she just decided to make the most of it, made an effort to enjoy her community and stayed super active. i’m hoping i will handle aging as well as she did.

here. just the first two research results for a simple google search “did masks work research.”
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10446908/ www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8499874/
i mean… you could look into it? know that it’s difficult to set up a statistically ideal study during a pandemic.

lol, SCIENCE BELIEVERS like it’s a huge insult
- Comment on Does anyone feel like an actual adult? 1 year ago:
i mean, i’m no fan of capitalism, but when i take my car to the guy who has been servicing it for 10 years, i don’t mind that he’s itemized the work to ensure that he and the guys who work for him are paid fairly for their expertise and time.
we do, unfortunately, exist in a system that requires money at present.
