Decided to get perscription glasses. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOWW. I had no idea that I've been living in a blur for so long! X'D Hope I don't lose my cuteness.

I mean, being safe is accepted when there are calculated decisions based upon some sense, experiment and knowledge, yet there is always the factor of the unknown occurrences - which is the cost of growth, development and moving forward despite the failure/success. What I'm about to say, I'm just proposing it as a theory, I don't actually believe in it, I have just thought about it and I'm just proposing it. Have you thought that maybe the current people working in the safe positions are necessary? Yes, the fact that 90% of jobs (I just made up that% ) are safe and boring, is a necessity for our society to work. Everything has a balance and equilibrium, EVERYTHING. Do you agree? Do you agree it would be quite problematic to have 100% of people taking continuous risks? So we can't blame society for reaching the conclussion that giving 100% of people the kind of education that 90% of them will need, is the definitely the best option. Maybe now making specialized programs for the 10% is viable now, but maybe it hasn't always been. > The system identifies only one solution to the familiar problem that comes in books/tests. Most teachers hate questions and think that a lot of questions are signs of having low comprehension capability, where on the other hand we see a lot of great discoveries in the world started with wondering and asking a question. Again. Think about equilibrium. Those rigid and frigid parts of learning also serve a function. I agree there are bad teachers, but those instituted problem-solving paths are supposed to be a way to teach you about basis of problem-solving. I'm not trying to strawman your argument, but just giving a friendly reminder to recognize the value of academia, its ideals, and methods. > We’ve been taught to compete for getting the highest degrees as they are the only way to be evaluated/qualified to get a good job. All this instilled in our unconscious that helping your peers is forbidden (it is counted as cheating) “NO JIM! STOP LOOKING AT LEV'S PAPER!”, where in reality you can’t do big things without getting big help. Most companies (it’s literally called company) and institutions are based on collaboration. You don’t find a team member saying “Hey wtf! I won't help you! This is cheating!!” You might feel this way when being tested in high school about stuff you are not interested in at all. Why would you be suppose to drill in shitt you suck at or simply are so behind at when someone else who is good at it could do it? I agree, BS. But if you're preparing to become an avocado expert, then you will be tested about it and be completely expected to know it. And you are supposed to be able to solve avocado-related problems **by yourself** to the highest extent possible because you're the expert. > The issue isn’t being soon, it is leaving you without a clue, background or enlightenment to make such a sensitive decision. I can’t really determine if this loop of ambiguity is a cause or a result of this confusing millennial era. All I know is when we were kids, we had the curiosity to discover, learn, wonder, ask and try new things, but now most of us lost it, thanks to 100/100 A+ (no mistakes) mentality. Of course this is a complex problem, of course I don't know all the factor either. But I think it's related to the degree of freedom current generations have. The culture was different back then. * Before it was: Only option is get job at a big company and grind out your career there. It might fucking suck but it's the only option and you rather focus on the result which is actually a decently livable life style. Young people were like *"Ok then, I guess."* * Waaay before it was: Only option is have you father's job and grind out your career out of it. It might fucking suck but it's the only option and you rather focus on the result which is actually a decently livable life style. Young people were like *"Ok then, I guess."* This worked for the 90% of people. * Now it is: There's an absurd amount of options, like literally you could probably make a living out of painting retro-cartoon-style murals in the back of pigs. So pick anything you want. Young people are like *"WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE?!"* Freedom is a heavy burden, that's an undeniable truth. We could get more technical and even philosophycal about this, but let's leave it there. Having a shit ton of option can cause anxiety. Not choosing anything is comfortable, no commitments are made. > Let’s just say I was trying to “be safe” and now life is laughing at me, but it’s totally ok, I guess that’s what reality is all about, right? I’m not complaining nor blaming life, but I won't keep lying to myself... Then you might be the 10%. And you are lucky, this is the best era that has ever been for the 10% to do their thing. Just remember that, you are a 10% and the 100% of the world isn't made for you.

... I was making one of my staple long-ass threads and I lost it. This is what I get for being atheist. I am sorry Krishna, I will b loyal from now on. A lot of value was lost... until I retype it that is. When my mood is better and I get another free ~30 minutes.

Do you agree? Do you agree it would be quite problematic to have 100% of people taking continuous risks? Life is a continuous risk. Although I agree, without equilibrium, balance and such safe positions the society wouldn't make it. But there is one issue my friend, the world isn't the same as it was 50 years ago; Inflation is everywhere in money, in required educational degrees, in information and even in population. AI is taking over the safe jobs, the world is changing every goddamn second...etc. So my question to the "educational instructors" is: # What are you preparing us for (all these years)? I'm sicking tired of this disconnect between educational life and reality. I would rather prefer to be prepared to adapt to these changes, to be prepared for the unknown, for the future and not this fu\*\*ing past. > So we can't blame society for reaching the conclussion that giving 100% of people the kind of education that 90% of them **will need**. We need to ask ourselves: # What defines the need of education? # What's the outcome? > those instituted problem-solving paths are supposed to be a way to teach you about basis of problem-solving. I liked how this dude (Dan Mayer, PhD) had noticed and explained how this model of math teachings is broken (it also applies to most applied science teachings), he was very reasonable. I will just crop [the part](https://youtu.be/qocAoN4jNwc?t=15) (only from **0:15 ~ 4:28**). Real life isn't linear, but they teach you to think like that. > But if you're preparing to become an avocado expert, then you will be tested about it and be completely expected to know it. And you are supposed to be able to solve avocado-related problems **by yourself** to the highest extent possible because you're the expert. I agree, there must be some way to qualify people, that is another hole that needs to be discussed on another occasion. I'm not saying you shouldn't be tested on your own, you should be, but this mustn't be the only standardized methodology. The current testing criteria aren't working; we are bad at knowing the mental capabilities of other people. > Of course this is a complex problem, of course I don't know all the factor either. > > But I think it's related to the degree of freedom current generations have.

Not choosing anything is comfortable, no commitments are made. And it will always be different in the future. I totally understand that having many options in not a good thing in any aspect of life. But no commitments is another way to just destroy your mindset if not all of your life; We need some balance. > Then you might be the 10%. And you are lucky, this is the best era that has ever been for the 10% to do their thing. Just remember that, you are a 10% and the 100% of the world isn't made for you. This world isn't made for anybody specifically, it's up to you/me to go with whatever flow. I don't know anymore, maybe(not). All I know is just this life is full of cycles that are built somehow, and we kinda stopped asking "why?"

Ninja Kiwi gave a shout out to Gabidou on twitter for aa YouTube video he made about the bloons series.

I've fallen in love with kayaking. I think it might match or beat my love for cycling. Now I can push my upper body to its limits! :')

Well the kayak could tip over and you could drown or be pulled under a ship and drown/chopped up by the ship's propellers if you get too close to the pull of the ship.

Nothing has brought me more fear and adrenaline than riding a motorcycle. [Also, I found such a beautiful song that made me cry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gHNbdS76k0). :')

It was reccomended (by Youtube) after listening to folk songs from some korean films. Is Samurai Champloo good? Like, does it have valuable life lessons and/or memorable themes/characters? It is great. Definitely has a memorable theme, coming from a mix of styles. Important life lessons, I'm no 100% sure about that but of course it gives you a few thinking moments. Just like 2 episodes are like "What was that about"? Specifically, zombies. The plot that guides the characters to adventures is a rather light and simple backstory, that is at least until the end when it intensifies. It even adds a tiny bit of Japanese history. Even if the plot is modest, as I said, the characters themselves get good development. They contrast each other so much and this leads to situations ranging many emotions. And finally it has cool animation and greeeeeat music with greeeeeat beats. You will probably like a song called Obokuri Eeumi, it's sad to the point of making you cry. And I forgot to say: It's NOT a "show". It's an anime. I am an otaku and I belive those 2 are different.

What do you guys think? 

Mods aren't having it today.

I stumbled upon a discord chat community with alot of funny and unique users - I really like that place. :')

 Hope nobody eats him.

I bought some games from the very interesting discord store today. Hopefully its the platform that tells Steam to fuck off and become aa threat to them.

Oh my god, this is my [jam](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqfDjmAkq7U): Often I am upset that I cannot fall in love But I guess this avoids the stress of falling out of it Are you-you tired of me yet? I’m a little sick right now, but I swear When I’m ready, I will fly us out of here Cut-cut hair, leave Cut my hair Cut-cut hair Yes, but strangely he feels at home in this But strangely he feels at home in this 

X-post/FGFGT I feel very happy and proud about the section called `Alternative Milk` that I did today. Everything you see has been meticulously date checked with the "first in, first out" policy so the soonest to expire is at the front to be bought first.  If anyone is interested in the technical break down for that picture and all the changes I made: See the far right, those weird shaped bottles that go most of the way up the shelf? That's called blocking and the client *loves* their blocking. The left door, it was (mostly) Silk all the way up, with their being 7 facing of product on all shelves except the top. The hole on the right of the second shelf and the same space on the third shelf are supposed to be the same item. It's dumb to have the same item in 2 spots, so I eliminated that and bumped up both other items by 1 facing each to make up the difference. The top shelf would have been gapped out too much between products, so I added a facing to the last product so the shelf would look full without being jammed in. It also maintained the door's blocking all the way through with the cartons. The second door, it was supposed to be 4 facing of the cartons for the first 4 shelves. To keep things from being too spaced out, I was able to add another facing of a carton in. The bottom shelf is a different line of products, so I bumped up what I thought would be the best selling product. But for the other 3 shelves, I decided that the left sided product was better, so increased those from 2 to 3 all the way up, to maintain the blocking. The second top shelf had 5, but was able to increase it to 6; again, what I thought would sell the best. The last shelf is a bit of a more complicated story. The cartons you see at the top are all creamers and are in a different section of the store. They're only there basically as placeholders for my purposes/as a secondary location for the store. The two last items are something I forget and couldn't find in the store (I think they were part of the new items) so they'll probably cut those, too. What will likely end up happening is they will take each product on the top shelf and double the facings all the way across so each product has 2. The reason this is likely to happen and really important is because of a thing called Holding Power. Holding power is how much space an item occupies on the shelf, essentially. Big sellers need more holding power, more presence on the shelf, so there's more of the item to sell and it needs to be restocked less often. An item that sells rarely is perfectly fine with a reduced holding power (1 facing) because it doesn't sell often and doesn't need to be stocked often. The problem with the top shelf is that the cooler unit's equipment is stored in the back, so a normal shelf fits 6 cartons per facing but the top shelf only fits 3. So even doubling the facings for each product for 1 to 2 is actually only giving it the same holding power as 1 facing elsewhere. Anyways, that's what I did and I'm very proud. :D

Quit acting proud because you did your job you minimum wage fuck
