Can’t not retain that tag tbh

Is there a specific age rating for the Magnus podcasts? Like,would I be a terrible person to allow my 11 year old brother to listen to it

Look mate, you know your brother better than I do. No guarantee either way. Children can be kinda unpredictabile about this stuff, even to themselves. There was plenty of "grown-up" media I really enjoyed and was just fine with as a kid (though I didn't really understand most of it until I was much older), but I had two weeks of nightmares over a bit of blood in an episode of Jonathan Creek (NOT a scary series). Neither you nor he can be sure how it's gonna affect him, but he might also really enjoy it.

My advice? Talk it through with him, make it clear he might not like it and that he can tap out at any time, then respect his choices either way.

I love when people make queue tag puns/references

my current Queue tag reference: "for my music will ripple to the rims of the queueniverse and back" quote from the rhythm game 'No Straight Roads'

past Queue references:

"Did queue get mysterious messages" Mystic Messenger opening lyrics

"one more memory of queue" Grojband song

"I'm gonna sing the queue song now" Invader Zim quote

"Queue must stay determined" Undertale quote

"queutie" the word 'cutie'

Still studying physical chemistry unfortunately. I’m really doing my best, i want to get good grades and finally graduate so my “real life” can begin. Even though it is a bit scary to start a new chapter, I am really looking forward to it.

After this exam, and after finishing my bachelors thesis, I will finally have some vacation (two whole months yay). I really want to read more books, due to my schedule this semester I could barely read anything but my magazines.

Have a great day everyone!

This is good and true and valid but I spent 90% of the first post reading this as "skunk cost fallacy" and I was kinda curious how it was gonna play out.

Let’s talk about something called the “sunk cost fallacy”.

Say that you’ve bought a concert ticket for $50 for a band that you don’t know that well. Half an hour into the show, you realize that you don’t actually enjoy the music and you aren’t having a good time - instead of leaving the concert to go do something else, however, you sit through the remaining hours of the concert because you don’t want to “waste” the cost of the ticket. 

Congratulations, you’ve just fallen victim to the sunk cost fallacy.

The “sunk cost fallacy” is something that all humans are prone to when we make decisions. Simply put, it’s the human tendency to consider past costs when we make choices, even when those costs are no longer relevant. When you’re deciding whether or not to stay at that concert you aren’t enjoying, you will likely consider the cost of the ticket when you’re making your decision - for instance, you’d probably be a lot more willing to leave a $5 concert that you aren’t enjoying than a $50 concert that you aren’t enjoying. But taking the cost of the ticket into account at all is a mistake. 

When you’re making a rational decision, the only thing that matters is the future. Time, effort and money that you’re spent up until that point no longer matter - it doesn’t make sense to consider them, because no matter what you decide, you can’t actually get them back. They are “sunk” costs. If you decide to stay at that concert, you are out $50 and you’ll have a mediocre evening. If you decide to go leave and do something more fun, you are out $50 and you’ll have a better evening. No matter what you choose, you have lost $50 - but choosing to leave the concert means that you haven’t also spent an evening doing something you don’t like.

The sunk cost fallacy is sometimes also described as “throwing good money after bad” - people will waste additional time, resources and effort simply to justify the fact that they’ve already wasted time, resources and effort, even if it leaves them worse off overall. 

Common examples of sunk cost fallacy in everyday life include:

refusing to get rid of clothes that don’t fit or that you never wear because they were expensive

going to an event that you no longer want to go to because you already bought the ticket 

spending more and more money on repairing a car or computer (or something else that depreciates in value over time) instead of buying a new one because you don’t want to waste the money you put into earlier repairs

continuing to watch a movie or TV show you aren’t enjoying anymore because you’ve already watched part of it 

finishing a plate of food that you’re not enjoying or are too full to enjoy, because you don’t want to waste it

refusing to get rid of unused, unwanted or broken items in your home because the items were expensive

Perhaps the most damaging example of sunk cost fallacy in everyday life, however, is relationships. 

People often use the length of a relationship to justify staying in it. You’ve probably heard this logic - you may even have used it yourself: “I can’t break up with him or the two years we spent together will be for nothing.”

“If I leave her, it will mean I wasted the five years I spent with her.”

The reality, though, is that staying in a mediocre relationship doesn’t “give you back” the time you’ve already invested in that relationship. It just makes the relationship longer. If you stay in a bad relationship for five more years to avoid “wasting” the first two, you haven’t actually made those first two years worthwhile - you’ve simply spent seven years of your life in a bad relationship. There’s nothing we can do to recover time and effort (and in most cases, money) that we’ve already spent. But we can forgive ourselves, and we can stop letting our past mistakes continue to define our futures.

Okay but this feels a lot like the training scores observations in the hunger games.

As everyone is getting (rightfully!) pissed about Amazon taking the filming of their new Lord of the Rings series out of New Zealand to the UK, now seems like a good time to remind everyone that back in 2010, Warner Brothers basically blackmailed the entire country into passing anti-union labor laws, known as "Hobbit Law", that are still affecting film workers in New Zealand today. This was done with full vocal support of Peter Jackson, by the way. Amazon is scummy and deserves all the derision it's getting- but Warner Brothers, Newline Cinema and Jackson should not be let off the hook either. The original Lord of the Rings trilogy would not have been remotely the same iconic piece of media it was without the people, talent and amazing landscapes of New Zealand, and it's important to recognize both the country's contribution and how poorly they've been treated in this entire franchise.

What makes this even better is that the other day at work I went for a walk. I go for this walk every day I'm in the office, it takes me past Guildford Cathedral. Imagine my surprise when, upon arriving at the front of the church, I encounter an angel made of knives with the face of Michael Myers and not a single indication of what the fuck was happening.

Turns out, I encountered Knife Angel before they'd put all the explanation stuff up.

I sent a picture to my family group chat and get from my mum: oh that's Knife Angel! as if that just explained it.

It's for a good cause but I'm like 90% certain the organisers do know what they're doing and are glorying in it.

So there’s this terrifying statue currently touring England called KNIFE ANGEL that’s apparently supposed to raise awareness about knife crime or something but i cannot get over how the ppl organising events around this thing have absolutely no idea what tone to go for. Like what sort of Nightvale shit is this

REPTILES!

PONY VISIT!
