  • Also a little odd that he did 6 interviews in 5 hours. How long are these interviews?

    Also, as someone who regularly takes his son to daycare (and leaves him there! he needs to learn to hussle his way back home again, I can’t be there to helicopter parent!), good luck getting them up, out the door, through traffic, and back to the office again inside 30 minutes.

    This guy is doing what I used to get yelled at all the time when I was filling out a time card - block billing. “One task? 1 hr. One hard task? 1.5 hr. One easy task? 30 min.”

    Clients hate this shit. Real heads know to always randomize a number 1-9 to put in the last digit, so it looks like you actually put in time from a clock rather than rounding to the nearest mark.

    Ask anyone not wearing a helmet that got hit by a car or smacked their head on the concrete after going over their handlebars. Oh, right, you can’t.

    I mean, you can. Falling off your bike isn’t universally fatal. Even bad injuries aren’t unrecoverable - especially when you’re young and resilient and you’re body is still growing.

    But imagine telling a 12-year-old to take off their helmet and pads and go plow themselves into a tree, because it builds character. Why would anyone voluntarily subject themselves to this? Why would anyone advocate for this?

    You’re not building up some kind of robust spirit of mind or body. You’re not growing as a person. You’re just being hazed.



  • they incorrectly believe that because they lived that there was no actual danger.

    Also, incorrectly believed that they were the ones on the bicycle.

    For every kid doing this right, there were ten that did it wrong and fell over.

    For every ten that did it wrong, there were another ten laughing up their sleeves and then… putting on a helmet and pads because they didn’t want to end up in traction (or because their parents were yelling at them to be safe).



  • Preferably I’d like if people could just let HP die and fade away

    With enough time and a vacuum of marketing dollars, it will. The reboot is already flopping.

    just try not to give her royalty money, and if you can’t do that then at the least i don’t want to hear about it.

    Hard to advocate for a boycott without hearing about the things you’re boycotting.

    The principle of a boycott is to pressure the business to change it’s policies. The implication is that you’d come back if they reformed.

    If you’re really looking to replace a franchise rather than reform it, helps to fill the vacuum.

    “I’m a big fan of X over Y, because it’s got all the things I like without the crude” tends to bend more ears than “Stop doing Y without my permission!”



  • Artemis II never landed on the moon. It was just a flyby. This makes it more equivalent to Apollo 10 and the famous exchange

    Stafford: “Oh—who did it? … Give me a napkin quick. There’s a turd floating through the air”.

    Young: “I didn’t do it. It ain’t one of mine”.

    Cernan: “I don’t think it’s one of mine”.

    Stafford: “Mine was a little more sticky than that. Throw that away”.

    Cernan (later): “Here’s another goddam turd. What’s the matter with you guys?”
