Make stupid choices, suffer stupid consequences.

Smell-o-vision? Again?

This reminds me of the old saying “It’s better to have something and not need it than to need something and not have it.” Insurance is largely built around this principle. Not counting the corruption in exorbitant prices that’s a different topic.

Are you familiar with firewatch duty? When somebody is doing any work that could produce a fire in an environment, they need to have someone there to supervise who can do something if a fire breaks out. Grab an extinguisher, hit the alarm, stuff like that. This is pretty normal in businesses, because if the guy doing the work say, welding, accidentally said some self on fire, there needs to be somebody there to put it out. The chances of it being necessary or extremely low, but the consequences of not having someone there in an emergency are extremely high.

This can lead to situations that seem silly. A buddy of mine was once on fire watch duty while someone was repairing a manhole or sewer grate or something like that in the middle of an empty parking lot. He just grabbed it off his chair and sat there shooting the shit with the guy while hanging on to the fire extinguisher for like 4 hours. There is nothing to catch fire except possibly the guy doing the work.

Anyway, keep on doing your job. On the off chance that you need to do something, it’ll be good that you were there to do it. If not, at least people can sleep happier knowing that the job is being washed over by people who know what they’re doing.

I don’t care about your game or your ass.

I wouldn’t have expected rhyming to be possible in any sign language. It strikes me as being too dependent on hearing the sounds for the rhyme to be possible. I’m no authority on any of the components here, and would be interested to know how fully always deaf ASL users can make or understand rhymes. I would expect them to be more focused on visual similarities, but I don’t know if that could translate from writing to signing.

What difference does it even make?

Because rich and greedy people have no concept of when they’ve got enough.

United Health Care Executive Ghouls: We can prove that this isn’t medically necessary because if they turn off the life support then the patient will stop suffering from the described symptoms.

I’m like 90% sure that health insurance executives are undead creatures that feed on the death and suffering of their “customers.”

Some of them already evolved into a tounerous new goblin of a subspecies (MOBAs) to fill a different niche, the rest stayed the same because they were already good as is. That’s literally how evolution works. You don’t improve RTS by drastically changing the formula, you improve then with graphics, lore, and interesting mechanics within the existing framework. If you evolve the formula then it’s not an RTS anymore.

Poverty. Not for lack of resources or ability, but for lack of will.
