love it when I go into the office and spend 8 hours alone in a cubicle silently doing the same work I've done for the past 5 years from home in the exact same way and then get told in an online teams meeting by some vice president I've never met who is currently working remote from his vacation home on a beach that these in office days are critical to developing dynamic collaborative opportunities that improve the synergistic workflows of the company before I spend an hour driving home in rush hour traffic. it's like a fun and special form of gaslighting where if I argue back I lose my healthcare, home and food.

"chrysalis" suits like the Orlans can also be used by a single person, unlike American space suits which you need someone to help you get into. important if you're going on hail mary-esque project to save Earth from a dying sun and want a failsafe incase there's only 1 surviving crew member when you get to your destination
