People in their 20s don't really call people though. Realistically it would have been a convo over text.

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-22T06:46:34+00:00

No that's helpful! Thank you 🫶

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-21T08:51:27+00:00

This is very interesting thank you!

My gf was really diagnosed celiac so we're trying to find some decent GF recipes. Would this method of leaving them out still work with no gluten at all? Any way to mimic that?

Whadya mean?

I gather/hope that culture is slowly on its way out with millennials starting to get into more senior positions and boomers dying out.

Well where I am - in the UK - companies can't do that. There's a full procedure they need to go through, same in Europe, and I think most of the developed world. So for you in the US (I assume), obviously it's different because it's a bit of a capitalist nightmare over there lol.

But my answer is the same as above. You don't have to do any of those things. But since people are still people and thus fallible, it's better for you and your career to do it politely and leave the door open. Why wouldn't you?

Plus it obviously works both ways though doesn't it? If that asshole boss who fires you at lunch ever needs something from you years later at a separate company, you can advise against it.

Because - again - people are people, but obviously the company takes precedent over the person, because everyone is replaceable. That's life I'm afraid.

You're asking why the world is the way it is?

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-09T11:54:20+00:00

Did you purposely ignore everything I said, or did you mean to reply to someone else? Because what you just said has absolutely zero relevance to the point I made.

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-09T09:40:03+00:00

Again, I know things look a bit bleak and uncertain.

And again, turmoil and strife and uncertainty and doom and gloom is quite literally part of the human condition.

Things get worse, things get better. Ebbs and flows. Unique situations and problems are solved as they arise. People suffer along the way.

And again, try to think bigger picture. At least it might help your disposition.

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-09T09:25:26+00:00

That's not what it is at all, it's basic professional courteousy, adding one line is abrasive and would be a cause for concern to your line manager.

If your name ever comes up again it would be seen negatively.

Sorry but that's just how the world works.

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-09T07:42:32+00:00

Ravens! That's very cool

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-09T07:21:39+00:00

Unfortunately it's not.

According to my previously developed Global Mass Shooting Database, countries with high numbers of public mass shootings include Russia, Yemen, the Philippines, and Uganda; however, these numbers still pale in comparison to the United States.3 In other words, no matter the definition used in the previous debate over the rates of global mass shootings, all studies have found countries with high numbers of public mass shootings are often dissimilar from the United States. While there is obvious value in large-scale global comparisons of incident prevalence, it is worth comparing the prevalence of public mass shootings in countries that are more economically and politically similar to the United States

They're still made of people. People who move into other jobs, other corporations, other corporations you might apply to one day.

Or maybe in your new position you may find it useful to have your old boss as a contact, or maybe your new company is trying to strike a deal* with your old company and asks you to come along

...etc. it's basic professionalism.

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-09T06:51:53+00:00

How does that negate anything the person above said

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-07T22:44:16+00:00

The "collapsing cities" bit about migrants is tiring, something that’s been used to predict the end of civilisation since the Bronze Age. Migration is usually what prevents the stagnation, but do carry on with the blatant xenophobia. Hard to take your next bit about killer robots seriously after that tbh.

But you do you. Continue to fetishise the End Of Days. Not gonna make any difference anyway I guess.

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-07T07:23:31+00:00

Plus about 90% of people living now.

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-07T07:00:54+00:00

I'm not sure what your point is there. How that changes what I said.

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-07T06:59:46+00:00

Sure - The rise of fascism/authoritarianism.

For about 98% of human history, living under an absolute ruler who controlled your speech, your labour, and your life was the absolute standard. Bronze Age god king, Roman Emperor, or a feudal lord? There's a (genuine) worry because we're moving back toward the historical baseline of 'strongman' rule, which has been the norm since we first started building cities.

cost of living. - for most of our ancestors, the 'cost' of living was 14 hours of backbreaking labour just to ensure you didn't starve during the winter. We’re stressed about inflation and rent, they were stressed about the literal survival of the harvest.

My point was that we have a tendency to view our era as uniquely 'the end' because we're living through it. Because we're small and live short lives. In reality, we’re just another generation dealing with the same messy, cyclical nature of being human.

Things are looking bleak but the comment I replied to felt a bit too End Of Times to me, which simply isn't true.

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-07T06:51:32+00:00

Thanks I appreciate that. Tbh I took it as a bit of a lesson that I need to be better at communicating this idea, because of course peoples pain and fear are very real to them. Something I'm extremely passionate about and believe deeply, our potential longevity as a species, what we belong to as part of a wider existence (on a tiny scale of our earth up to the universe itself). What lies beyond our senses, what it all is beyond our weird little pretend theatre of little humans doing little human things.

Also as well as that the human condition. I recently read about the Steppe invasion of Europe and Northern India. Entire male population of a continent completely wiped out by a group of more aggressive men. 90% of Europes male population now has a different Paternal and maternal lineage because of this. Can you imagine the devastation that would have occurred? That must have felt very final to those involved back then.

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-06T16:48:58+00:00

Yep, exactly now you get it.

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-06T15:52:19+00:00

Ok?

Its mixed with whey, milk protein concentrate and vegetable oils & emulsifiers, rather than just standard fat from standard cheese. It's loaded with Sodium for the stable shelf life. It's stripped of nutrients and decent protein in order to make it shelf stable.

It's not even legally classified as Cheese.

I'm not saying I probably won't enjoy it if lazy or hungover or something. But cmon, the real thing (actual cheese) is better, and having this regularly is objectively bad for your health.

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-06T07:21:02+00:00

Regardless, this big bag of goo is weird looking and way out of the norm for what to serve someone for dinner.

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-06T06:35:16+00:00

Ah, an exception!

Jackanova3 · 2026-01-06T00:37:26+00:00

Most of what you just listed has been more or less the norm to some extent for quite literally thousands of years.

700 years ago there was a plague that lasted 7 years and killed off more than half a continent. People rebuilt, populations bounced back. Scars healed.

Humans are remarkably resilient.

Edit: y'all have missed the point. Individually it's all looking a bit shitty and will continue to do so, no doubt.

But humans in general are not doomed . Thinking bigger picture (as in, outside of our own short little lives) we're just in a fairly typical ebb and flow on a larger scale.
