The wellness movement is largely built on the magical thinking we can control our fate with the correct behavior. Surely if we do enough yoga and eat only the correct things and find inner peace we’ll never ever get sick.

Oh, definitely, but you have to eat, well, like the Inuit. Lots of meat fat, organ meats, and everything has to be raw or super-rare. Lean meats will send you into “rabbit starvation” pretty quickly, even aside from plain old scurvy.

Right? Did they go around the room the first day and declare dietary preferences?

It’s insane! And the thing is, this wasn’t even some Cymbeline crap where a guy decides to fuck with another guy to prove how swole his manliness is or whatever; this guy just decided, all by his little self, that because he was around a lot of women he had to run around re-enacting An American Werewolf in London with…

James Blunt seems like a true fool. However, my recent quarantine reading has led me to books about arctic explorers and interesting information about how people can and do avoid scurvy on an all-meat diet. A lot of them copied the Inuit diet. Fresh raw/rare meat contains adequate amounts of vitamin C, as do animal…

Oh my god, that’s funny. Nothing says “I am a strong, confident man” like intentionally hurting yourself just because there are lots of women around you. Also, I find it really hard to believe that every single woman in the program was vegetarian or vegan.

Agreed. Real person fanfic is gross on Tumblr and ao3, and it’s just as gross in this.

Man, keep that shit on AO3. 

Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother’d had
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye
He was big and bent and gray and old
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said: “My name is ‘Sue X Æ A-12!’ How do you do!?

Yeah, it’s misleading to frame it, as the article seems to start out by doing, as being related to “perfectionism”. If your workers are regularly working through the night, it’s not because you’re asking them to do too much - it’s because you haven’t given them enough normal working hours to get it done in. You can…

I am astounded by how many people have these boogeyman “facts” about unions that are complete bullshit.

There’s an additional problem here. There are very few GOOD producers. I’ve worked with only two in my 15 year career. The rest have been AWFUL.

I’ve been through crunches like this (you can work over 100 hours a week, it turns out!). And seriously, we do crunch because we love the game and we want to make it better.
 But sometimes we crunch way more because of bad decisions, and what’s weird is that the worst crunches are always at the companies with the…

I feel like the argument against producers is always “but bureaucracy!” And that’s fair up to a point. You get too many producers and layer on too many processes and it can slow things down—there’s really no perfect solution. It’s kind of a spectrum where you have Naughty Dog on one end, and something like working in…

I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just delay it a couple months or until the next quarter. Most consumers have started to come around to the idea that more cook time = better product, so why not let it just cook longer? And not kill (almost) your employees to meet an already arbitrary release window?

Fucks sake, HIRE A PRODUCTION TEAM.

I know it sounds like beating a dead horse to say UNIONS UNIONS UNIONS but the horse won’t actually die until the unions actually form.

Um, Tom Hanks wasn’t really in space.

well, kids ARE stupid, so were we, so were our parents. adulthood is the time we spend fixing the fuck ups we did as teens.
