I think a giant imperial military blob with an unwieldy and overfunded warfare state making catastrophic tactical decisions by misusing expensive equipment in unsuitable conditions is among the most believable things in that entire movie
Grown adults really don’t get this.
You treat someone poorly, disrespect them, take them for granted, or play games — and then act shocked when they stop wanting to talk to you. Like… what did you expect? Actions have consequences. If you keep hurting people, eventually they’ll protect themselves by walking away.
@brightafia it's weird that they only notice your silence after ignoring your feelings
bruh actions have consequences and distance is often one of them in adulthood
THIS GUY BUILT REAL FLYING SWORD DRONES AND CONTROLS THEM WITH HAND GESTURES
fan shisan is a physics student in chengdu who coded and built flying drones shaped like actual swords
he controls them entirely with hand gestures. no controller or a phone. just his hands
wave your hand and the sword follows. point and it flies where you direct it. multiple swords in the air at the same time responding to different gestures
he built the gesture recognition system HIMSELF and coded the flight control algorithms. designed the drone hardware in the shape of swords.
the gesture tracking uses sensors that read the position and movement of his hands in real time and translate them into flight commands for each drone independently
he even built one large enough to ride on
a physics student with coding skills just brought something straight out of a kung fu movie into the real world
the line between science fiction and side projects is getting thinner every month
Always choose clean pain over dirty pain.
Clean pain is the pain of telling the truth. The pain of leaving. The pain of disappointing someone. The pain of starting. The pain of being bad at something new. The pain of saving money instead of buying the thing. The pain of going to bed while the party continues. The pain of facing the blank page.
Dirty pain is the pain of avoiding clean pain. The pain of staying too long. The pain of lying. The pain of living above your means. The pain of being known inaccurately. The pain of watching your life shrink around a fear you refuse to face. The pain of managing the consequences of cowardice.
Clean pain is often sharp and brief, dirty pain is dull and chronic.
Self-respect is paying the clean cost early.
🚨do you understand what just happened..
Trump sued his own IRS for $10 billion over leaked tax returns.. then settled with his own DOJ.. and the settlement created a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded fund to compensate his political allies
the president filed the lawsuit.. the president's DOJ settled it.. the president's allies collect the money.. and you're paying for it
the fund covers Jan 6th defendants.. Mar-a-Lago raid claims.. the Russia investigation.. anyone who says they were a victim of "lawfare" can file a claim and get a check
they named it the "Anti-Weaponization Fund".. and made the number $1.776 billion.. they even made the corruption patriotic
in 1974 Nixon resigned for using government agencies against political enemies.. in 2026 the government is cutting checks to political allies and calling it justice
What is life?
• Dostoevsky: It’s hell.
• Socrates: It’s a test.
• Aristotle: It’s the mind.
• Nietzsche: It’s power.
• Freud: It’s death.
• Marx: It’s the idea.
• Picasso: It’s art.
• Gandhi: It’s love.
• Schopenhauer: It’s suffering.
• Bertrand Russell: It’s competition.
• Steve Jobs: It’s faith.
• Einstein: It’s knowledge.
• Stephen Hawking: It’s hope.
• Kafka: It’s just the beginning.
Each one must therefore give life a meaning according to how you one perceive.
Michael Jackson talking about loneliness
“I used to walk the streets looking for people to talk to.” That was the saddest thing I’ve ever heard from him 😭💔… It’s actually lonely at the top 🥺
