Flexibility of work hours and location definitely goes a long way. One thing COVID did in Ukraine that could be called a positive was set a precedent that we could be working from home all the time and it doesn't hurt the productivity.

Of course, some employers would still ignore that for the sake of their fragile egos and illusion of control, but the place I work at actually reduced the office space to almost half of what it used to be. Unsurprisingly, this also helped when the war started and a lot of employees got displaced.

It's almost like they're making up law violations to arrest and murder people who oppose the government or its bullshit war.

"Finding more fallen-out hairs on your pillow, watching your favorite stuffed bread disappear from the convenience store. The accumulation of those little despairs is what makes a person an adult."

Never have I expected a quote from a battle shonen manga/anime to resonate with me this much. This one is from Jujutsu Kaisen.

Well, there was a catastrophic error of judgement. It was made by whichever human thought it was okay to let a LLM work on production codebase.

Weight, or muscle mass %, or reaction speed, or stamina, or whatever makes sense in the context of a specific competition. I'm neither a sports person nor an expert on human anatomy, but surely there are better ways to do it than what we have now.

Sports divisions kinda need to be overhauled anyway. Would be nice to have it based on the actual physical factors that affect a human's performance in a specific sport, instead of just 2 groups for everything with blurry definitions and a massive overlap in terms of said performance.

Why do I hear boss music... and... ominous quacking?

Alcohol would be considerably safer to drink than most water you could find

My favourite foil cap trope reference is Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. It has several characters with supernatural abilities that can affect other people's emotions, and aluminum happens to block all kinds of magic powers in Sanderson's larger book universe. So a lot of rich and important people wear hats that are lined with aluminum foil on the inside to protect them from emotional influence.
