my career advice isn't "do what you love" it's "do what will give you the most money without making you want to kill yourself"
#me at people who ask how they can do my job#me in a state always of#I love my job and I'm incredibly fortunate to have it#to have a job with a salary pay where I can do a thing I love that is even catered to my need to use my brain but also move a lot#where I'm surrounded by people with similar interests in a weird team dynamic that is both very individual but also collaborative#AND Y E T#I'm always like. hey if you can go for a job that pays more and allows you to live your life and pursue passion outside of work#do that#do that!!#do not break yourself convinced that you can only do what you're passionate about#for one thing passion jobs don't pay

What's a difference between historians people who just like to study history?
idk maybe the fulltime yearslong professional training by other professionals and constant peer review aka quality control? what's the difference between a five star chef and someone who makes homemade meals every day.
#this entire thread can also be fully applied to science#trying to explain to people that expertise is not the same as gatekeeping but also#the entire point of academia IS gatekeeping and it's NECE gatekeeping#yeah if you try stepping into the academia/science worlds you're gonna have people picking your stuff apart for inaccuracies#and wanting citations#they do that to each other too bc science and other work devoted to truth#is built on a pursuit of what is provably true and what has evidence#and btw I do lump history in with this bc even if it doesn't use the scientific method of research and experiment development#there is still the similar rigor of you need to prove your shit to other experts in your field

Have you ever been to earth?
On earth, we use the word “burrito” to describe a tortilla filled with things you eat. Pretty simple stuff, and I’m surprised you at least got that part right. My burrito was, in fact, filled with food. In this, you and I agree and are friends. But this is also where my lifelong hatred begins for you and anyone else whose brain has been repeatedly scrubbed with the same mixture of bleach and Pop Rocks as yours has. Because that should have killed you, but left you around long enough to do what you did to me today. Let me explain:
You’re an idiot.
Let me further explain:
Burritos are eaten from one end to the other. So that means when you assemble a burrito with motherfucking ZONES of ingredients going that direction, you create a disgusting experience for the burrito’s end user. When you make a burrito, you should put the ingredients in layerslengthwise. That way, every bite has AT LEAST A FUCKING CHANCE of getting at least two types of ingredients, and there is little chance of becoming almost hopelessly trapped in a goddamned cilantro cavern.
Have you ever eaten one of the things you make all fucking day? You should try one. They are pretty good WHEN YOU ARE NOT WILLING YOURSELF THROUGH THE FUCKING EMPIRE OF SOUR CREAM ONLY TO END UP IN LETTUCE COUNTRY.
When you eat a burrito, you don’t stand it up and bite down on it lengthwise like a fucking Rancor. Humans can’t usually dislocate their jaws, and I’m not a fucking pelican. But you must think that’s how it’s done, since that would be THE ONLY FUCKING WAY to take a bite of your crapstrosity and have it taste like a burrito.
And guess what else, player? You probably can’t guess anything, because I’m pretty sure you’re just a mop with a hat on it that fell over and spilled some shit into a tortilla, but just in case, here’s what:
Humans also don’t eat burritos like fucking corn on the cob. Like a fucking typewriter from one end to the other a little at a time and then DING next line. But today I wish I had tried that. Because at least THEN I would be able to eat some rice, then beans, then be all like HEY BEANS I’LL BE RIGHT BACK JUST GOING OVER HERE TO THE GUACAMOLE FOR A SECOND.
Nope.
My experience was more like HEY BEANS IT’S JUST GOING TO BE YOU AND I FOR A MINUTE UNTIL I CAN FUCKING EXCAVATE THE RICE FROM BENEATH YOU BUT BY THEN YOU WILL BE A FADING MEMORY OH HEY I WAS WRONG I’M IN THE FUCKING CHEESEOSPHERE NOW RICE MUST BE NEXT I HOPE IT’S NOT ANOTHER FUCKING SALSA POCKET.
You built this thing like a fucking pack of LifeSavers.
And don’t even fucking think I’m about to open this shit up and re-engineer your nonsense 90 degrees. I ALREADY PUT A HOLE IN IT WITH MY FUCKING MOUTH. YEAH. THAT’S HOW I DISCOVERED YOU FUCKING SUCK AT LOOKING AT THINGS. I AM NOT GOING TO DO FUCKING TORTILLA ORIGAMI TO GET THIS SHIT BACK TOGETHER, ONLY TO END UP WITH A BURRITO THAT’S BEEN SHOT IN THE GUT AND IS BLEEDING YOUR INEPTITUDE.
What’s that? I should ask you to mix it up first next time? IS THIS JAMBA JUICE? I DON’T WANT TO DRINK MY FUCKING BURRITO THROUGH A BENDY STRAW, AND I DON’T WANT A PILE OF BURRITO SOUP IN A FLOUR CAN.
I just want a burrito.
In conclusion:
You’re the worst thing that has ever happened to the universe, you owe everyone everywhere an apology for this burritobomination, and I hope your babies look like monkeys.
UPDATE FOR EVERYONE WHO SAID “JUST EAT IT WITH A FORK”:
A fucking fork?
I DIDN’T ORDER THE FUCKING COBBURRITO SALAD.
If anyone ever handed me a burrito with a fork, THEY WOULD BE WEARING A BRAND NEW BURRITO HAT FROM MY FALL COLLECTION TEN SECONDS LATER.
That’s like buying a car and having them hand you a fucking wrench with the keys. Like YEAH WE KNOW THIS MOTHERFUCKER’S GOING TO EXPLODE AND BE SPREAD ACROSS EIGHT LANES AS SOON AS YOU HIT THE GAS, BUT SHIT, WE GAVE YOU A WRENCH, SO BE COOL.
Jesus already gave me two burrito forks. One at the end of each arm. They’re called fucking HANDS.
A fork. My god. I haven’t cried since I was six, but I’m fucking sobbing now.
People eat burritos with forks?
God is sorry he made us.

#this is such 2010s millennial internet humor of doing The Most but god...I gotta admit I miss this type of humor#unfortunately everyone started trying to write like this and never could admit that the burrito rant was when it hit the peak

I like how the homestuck pilot stuff is just giving everyone a rude awakening that a lot of indie creators know each other and respect each others work and that your individual cringe does not exist in a vacuum. And that at the end of the day you’re all clowns.

i knew that the discourse spawned from vivziepop and homestuck collabing would be hot train wreck rancid (which I find hilarious to be clear) but the wildest ones are Homestucks making jokes deriding vivziepop stuff for "they think saying "fuck" a lot is comedy"
homestucks. sneering at media for using cursing for comedy. honestly I am standing and clapping. cringe on cringe violence is happening and we love to see it
#Karkat vantas whOMST#our glorious edgelord creator vs their problematic cringe creator#our ironic edgy 2000s internet humor vs their edgy ironic 2000s hot topic internet humor#the way I knew this would go wild online bc I had already noticed how many vivziepop haters had a Homestuck pfp#we're all cringe here shut up and eat some fruit#I GET if hazbin stuff isn't your thing and you hate that it's everywhere#but some people need to chill about making being a hater their personality

#Homestuck#LMAOOO EVEN BETTER AND BY BETTER I MEAN FUNNIER#anyways my takeaway from the preview is. style animation good. looks like they appreciate the batshittery of act 1#and also reaaaally validating my initial thought of like#I don't think it's legit possible to make a coherent Homestuck animated show that's still true to Homestuck chief

A Homestuck animation pilot being dropped on Vivziepops YouTube right after some new insufferable Homestuck drama starts up is the funniest Homestuck news that can happen to Homestuck but also that combination means it's time to run to some fandom nuclear fallout bunkers

sponsorships and ads suck unless they are solely there to give Jacob Wysocki lots and lots of money
