In my journey through project management and software development, I’ve come to appreciate the critical role of clarity. Amidst the whirlwind of tasks and deadlines, one concept has emerged as a beacon of guidance: the Definition of Done (DoD). From my experience in software sprints to overseeing construction projects, the DoD has proven to be more than just a checkbox—it’s the foundation of…

wilson saying “I need to do this. for you.” is fucking insane actually. in the same episode where house is deciding whether or not he should commit suicide as a result of wilson’s dying. They are each other’s lines between life and death. humans have a biological instinct to preserve their survival at all costs; house has an addiction that governs his life. but they were willing to forgo all of it for one another, because they couldn’t fathom it being any other way. IM SICK
#I know it’s fictional but there is nothing more meaningful and real than the desire to be loved by someone else more than anything#and it’s killing me#I was out by lac leman one day when I was seven when my mom told me that swans fly as high as possible#and fall to their deaths when their partner dies#and whether or not that’s true. it fundamentally changed my view of love tbh#my grandmother survived breast cancer for 10 years as well as covid#but died ONE DAY after losing the person she cared about most in this world#love transcends nature#and this show is a beautiful example of that#house md#greg house#gregory house#hatecrimes md#hilson#james wilson#house/wilson

Something I like about Leo is that he’s honestly really chill? It’s easy to remember the moments where he’s being obnoxious or excitable but I feel like most of the time he’s incredibly “go with the flow” and has an overall affable demeanor.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rise leo#Genuinely speaking I feel like said demeanor is incredibly useful for when he has to charm and/or persuade people into listening to him#I have a whole post talking about Leo’s charm and how he consistently gets people to hear him out even if he’s annoyed or upset them#like they’ll still listen to what he has to say in full#his charisma stat is real and utilized quite often in this series I swear he’s not just a loser cringeboy all the time 😭#if he wants to persuade and/or charm then he honestly sooo often does#me listing the 400th reason why Leo grows up to be the worlds best ninja and a good 365 of those reasons are Leo’s various subterfuge skill#Like most episodes where he’s not the main focus (and even many where he is)#he’s a voice of reason who notices things quickly and is often the one taking point to talk down situations#something interesting I found between Leo and Mikey is that#Mikey tells people what they need to hear#Leo tells people what they want to hear#not only out of his own agenda either#when bullhop was wrecking their home leo was the one that negotiated to make the situation go smoother#even if he would have rather bullhop left#meanwhile Mikey is the one who bluntly tells things as it is#small character moment that means a lot to me#Mikey is an honest boy who is upfront about his feelings#Leo prefers to let people make their own decisions he wants them to through steering the convo in that direction#but he is easily cowed by guilt#regardless leo is a people person - he knows how to talk to them and how to manipulate/persuade#and I like that his bros know this and often push him forward to do the talking if they wanna charm someone into doing what they want#I think Leo’s hope speeches are also an example of this - he’s saying what people really want to hear (and often it’s ALSO what they NEED)#the further the series goes on the higher Leo’s inner stress rises and he just keeps that chill aura anyway#there’s a reason!!! he wanted to go to a SPA so badly!!#literally the first thing he does when he gets in is rest#no joke meditation would do him good? like- it’s a Leo thing and I genuinely think rise leo would be no different here

Mumbo has been shaking the trust between Grian and Skizz since literally the first episode and no one has said anything. He kept telling Skizz that Grian was going to betray them. With the language he uses, he makes himself look like he’s on Skizz’s side. Then, he spends the whole 3rd session with Grian, telling him how they should leave Skizz or kill Skizz or let Skizz die. He says condescending things about Skizz like how he just “makes noises to his death”. Unusually, Grian isn’t even trying to spend time with Mumbo. Mumbo has mostly been following him around uninvited, trying to establish connection. He wants to make it seem like he’s the only one who’s there for Grian. However, when all three of them are together, Mumbo is usually complimenting Skizz, while Grian chastises Skizz. This makes Mumbo out to be the good guy, even though he was feeding Grian ideas about how bad Skizz is as a teammate. He even tells Grian that he’s the only friend Grian needs. This is a common manipulator behavior. The point is to isolate Grian, make Grian’s other friends look lesser than or antagonize them, and make Grian be the one to push them away so that Mumbo doesn’t seem at fault. It’s all about control. He wants to control Grian.
Do you see how that sounds CRAZY. This is how people talk about Scott and Pearl. Mumbo is just being silly with his friends, and Scott deserves that same space without being called the bad guy. I understand that you guys are talking about Scott’s character, but you’re forgetting that Scott is not actively trying to play a character. Do you know how much it sucks to have a silly competition with your friends only to have thousands of people overanalyze your every move and calling you the bad guy for teasing your friends? Do you understand that this is not an analysis of a character so much as of a real person in a competitive environment with a bunch of his friends who he trusts and understands the boundaries of and therefore may tease and chastise more as a joke because he trusts them not to take it the wrong way? Imagine messing around with your friends and everyone starts telling you specifically that you’re manipulating your friends when you tell them not to shout in a library. That’s how people are treating Scott for chastising Pearl and Impulse about antagonizing Gem and Joel. You’re all so forgiving when it’s not Scott, but once this one particular guy is in the hot seat it’s game over. Does it not feel targeted to you?
#scott smajor#smajor#trafficblr#grumbo kind of#i’m using them as an example#i don’t actually feel that way about mumbo#nor do i think anyone should#free my boy he did all that but people are adding way more meaning to it than is actually there#without understanding the real world implications of what they’re saying

Every time I watch the cold open of Memorial and B'Elanna tells Tom about how she ASSEMBLED a 50's television set from SCRATCH just to surprise him (there's no reason beyond that - just an incredibly sweet and thoughtful gesture) and replicated popcorn for him to eat while he watches and Tom says "They didn't have remote controls in the 50's ♥ Also where's my beer?" I contemplate murder ESPECIALLY because B'Elanna responds cheerfully to it - GIRL!!! LEAVE HIM!!!!!! IS HE SUPPOSED TO BE CHARMING IN THIS SCENE????
#AND THEN SHE TRIES TO TELL HIM ABOUT HER DAY AND HE DOESN'T EVEN LISTEN TO HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#-KILLINGHIM-#also a line that always makes me smile is in the mess hall scene#a group of crewmen enter all laughing and one person says 'that's the best joke I've ever heard!' it's so on the nose and I love it#also I LOOOVE the scene with Neelix Chakotay Tom and Harry all bouncing off each other in the briefing room#AND HARRY GETS TO SHIIINE~!!!!#anyway Tom is a shitty enough partner he does NOT need violent war ptsd#ALSO!!! Seven & Neelix are a severely underrated friendship they're really sweet to each other#'Memorial' is a really good episode I love the sci-fi concept and the intensity from everyone <3#Chakotay's dry: 'Fascinating.'#I also love Neelix's resistance to turning off the memorial - it fits so well with his character (and backstory)#and I love the tried and true 'every alien planet is just some park <3'#I forgot Janeway made them recharge the insta-ptsd memorial and was gonna be like WHAT???? WILD CHOICE MA'AM#but then she put a content warning in space and I waslike OK...ok!! That I can accept v_v hehehe#I 100% understand both sides of the 'do we leave it on or turn it off?' debate bc it DOES instantly give you debilitating war ptsd#so it's not like it's a heartless or un-empathetic choice to want to turn it off - I think Janeway's solution is the best of both worlds#I am interested in how being spontaneously afflicted with severe ptsd-causing memories of brutally murdering almost a hundred people would#mm....affect almost the entire crew (I say 'almost' bc it doesn't seem like it was EVERYONE: Naomi - Seven - and Tuvok are all fine for#example)#like what if someone (and this is dark but in a real-world way a real concern) kills themself because of that guilt??#what if the ship gets in a battle and around half the crew starts experiencing flashbacks??#Again - Voyager not having a counselor/therapist is HORRIFIC

Today on “your ship is actually VERY CANON irl”- Electric Coal (Electra/Porter)
Electric locos are ironically great as coal haulers, they’ve been used on heavy mineral trains since the early 1900s due to their power and being great at climbing hills (and capable of regenerating power going downhill).
For an early British example, the NER EF1


For an extreme example, the Virginian Railway was a notoriously wealthy, hilly coal-hauling route that bought some absurdly large electric locomotives for dragging 9000 ton coal trains through the Appalachians


There were also several coal power plants in the western US that used GE E60 locomotives to haul long, frequent coal trains until they shut down


And as a bonus, a underground mine trains (including coal mines) are usually electric, usually battery powered, due to the flammable conditions and smoke being a problem in enclosed spaces


#stex#starlight express#there’s probably an endless list of world wide examples tbh#especially if you more broadly talk about heavy mineral trains because you get the IORE in Sweden and even more random mine lines#electric trains aren’t just subways and high speed trains. they also ~yearn for the mines~#not fully sure how easy it is to repurpose hoppers to carry other rocks but lol porter and electra could end up together at a copper mine#or iron or anything with a crapton of rocks getting moved around#ironically I’m not heavily into the revival and don’t know a ton about the fuel trucks the pairing just makes me laugh because it’s REAL

I’ve made this post before but I can’t be bothered to find it. In what we commonly consider a ‘traditional’/patriarchal European society, the paths in life are: marriage with children (acceptable), bachelorhood (frowned upon, locked out of certain professions/roles), spinsterhood in servitude to parents (probably suffering), religious servitude. An unmarried person is a servant either of the local lord, the Lord, or the parents. The parental relationship has a built-in hierarchy of the senior parents and the underling child. All pressures push down and toward marriage as a form of (highly limited for women) freedom.
One of the few ways around this system is the sibling relationship. Sticking with a sibling can provide an avenue to independence from hierarchy via a peer relationship, a person who moves in with a married sibling is protected under the auspices of that marriage (though somewhat dependent on the sibling) and is not automatically subordinate as with aristocracy/religious orders/parents. I’m interested in the sibling relationship as a kind of lifeline or shield against the buffets of social expectation specially in a world where there is some kind of censure against unmarriage and in which marriage is seen as the final step in growing up. Siblings are the playmates of childhood, they are biological family, to remain part of s biological family unit is acceptable, to remain unmarried is not, the sibling is the last line of defense against a spouse without submitting to hierarchy and/or could be read as the last line of defense against growing up.
This isn’t coherent. I like the idea of two siblings choosing to remain close into adulthood not because they necessarily like each other that much, but because they understand the consequences of abandoning someone to social forces. Siblings as a kind of delayed maturation, a sign that something is wrong, a failed evolution, a vestigial relationship, you’re supposed to be close growing up and then split into different clans, but they have failed to do so and have closed the loop to return to childhood.
#kelsey rambles#have to pull out an example so that I don’t sound insane#nightray sibs—they operate as a unit becuase gil is aware of Vince’s dependence and that very closeness leads gil to hate him#the Alice siblings—Alice becomes alyss’ defense against Jack. the ‘marriage’ option and the sibling are in direct conflict#fma03 vs fmab. the ‘healthy’ ‘good’ ending is where edward goes off and starts a family with winry#the fucked ending is where edward and alphonse want to reunite after their journey and do not want to split up.#minamoto family. the nuclear family unit collapses and Teru and kou band together in a pseudounit threatened by kou’s dalliance with Mitsuba#kageyama brothers. mob relies on ritsu as his bestie/emotional support rather than integrating into the real world. depending on ritsu#is a way to avoid growing up. etc.#basically: sibling relationship as an ‘improper’ perpetuation of childhood in conflict with romance as a ‘proper’ way of growing up#specifically where there are no options except the sibling/romance binary

Veilguard vaguing:
It's not automatically a good thing, actually, that the game de-emphasizes or even outright removes racism against elves, and bigotry against other groups, from the story
#veilguard critical#completely declawing the sociopolitics of the story doesn't in any way make it a better story ugh#being of a certain race and even of a certain gender should mean something in the dragon age world and not all those things are good#and that's part of the challenge of the roleplay and part of the themes of the whole overarching story like#tevinter! is a location in this game!!#not to focus on just the elves but if we're not feeling the absolute depths and desperation of all the elves#not just the dailish#then there's no way to feel much complexity or conflict over - for example - what solas is trying to do and why he's so motivated#his character is boiled down to him being by himself and feeling conflicted over just his past actions#as if he didn't spend all of inquisition investigating yours and the companions' differing plights and worldviews#tbh though one of the biggest failings of inquisition is maybe possibly not highlighting the dailish and city elves enough#to help drive home this point - but veilguard is so clearly just kind of out here by itself with loredumping that goes completely#uninvestigated socially or politically that like... it doesn't matter much#like we just have to pretend that everyone is playing kumbaya now? with the elven god of rebellion real and running around?#that you can walk around anywhere in tevinter practically unbothered?#like bellara and davrin and every dailish elf in thedas aren't at all significantly moved by knowing their gods are just some guys?#i get more and more pissed at -good vibes- storytelling in all its mediums with every passing day#ISMtext

hey i know your post about your mom was mostly just a personal vent, but i have to say, do you realize that also happens with trans girls and their fathers? literally happened to one of my friends. i’m not trying to downplay your experience or something but i found it strange that you seem to think this is something that only affects transmascs
i have one question for you: so fucking what?
i don’t doubt that trans girls have experienced similar things and yeah, that’s bad too, but what the fuck does that have to do with me and the specific things i’m facing as a result of being a trans man? i never said “look at this thing that happens to ONLY trans men and NO ONE ELSE,” i just said “hey, isn’t this thing that happens to a lot of trans men, including myself, fucked up?”
i would also like to point out that what you’re talking about is in fact a different (albeit similar) thing. the way cis people treat trans people can differ dramatically based on the cis person’s gender because their commitment to gender roles is, like, a major part of problem. the specific way a cis mother reacts to her trans son’s transition is often going to be very distinct, while a cis father will likely respond to his trans daughter in a different but equally distinct way.
what i’m talking about is a very specific kind of ownership and control and self-victimization and total lack of boundaries masquerading as love and care and maternal concern that cis women (i would argue white cis women in particular) project onto their transmasc kids when we do literally anything to our bodies. i’m talking about a phenomenon which is closely related to the way moms often pass eating disorders onto their daughters (or children they view as daughters) because they see a body that looks something like theirs and project all of their insecurities and ideals onto it. i’m talking about a form of parental transphobia and projection that’s specific to the dynamic of a cis mother and her child who was “supposed to” be her daughter.
if you’ve never felt that, you’re not even remotely qualified to tell me shit about how i should be talking about that experience, and if you couldn’t recognize that experience when you read my post, i’m guessing you probably haven’t experienced it because the replies to that post made it very clear to me that anyone who has experienced it firsthand immediately knew exactly what i meant.
like, yeah, cis dads also project onto their trans daughters, but are they likely to have a reaction like running away with actual tears streaming down their face? do you expect them to passive aggressively make comments about how sad their kid’s transition makes them, how it’s such a difficult emotional time, how it’s so tragic because their kid’s body was so beautiful before? do you think their go-to transphobic reaction will be weaponizing their emotions? i’m sure there are some dads out there who are like that, but i think we can agree they’re in the minority because that’s not how cis men are taught to react and parents like this tend to be pretty damn committed to following the gender roles they were taught.
and even if i’m wrong and our experiences are exactly the same, let me reiterate that i never said this was an experience exclusive to trans men. all i said is that it happens to us. that’s just a statement of objective fact.
this started in my life when i got my hair cut short for the first time almost a decade ago and it has not stopped since. i’ve watched my mom cry over me changing my name and respond to being asked if my happiness matters more to her than my name by saying “i care about both”, i’ve watched her melt down in a mall over me getting a suit for prom and give me the silent treatment for days after, i’ve heard her plead with me to stop t because it “looks unnatural” and she’s just so “concerned for my health”, i’ve watched her stare at me post-op and say “my poor baby” over and over like she’s looking at my corpse in a casket. i’ve watched her turn herself into the victim of every single aspect of my transition. i’ve had to live with this for 9 years and spent the early years of the pandemic literally locked in a house with it. this has been my entire adolescent and adult life, and the question of if i’ll have to cut her off someday (and maybe never see my cat or my little cousins who i love more than anything in the world ever again as a result) haunts me every single day.
who the fuck are you to tell me how to talk about that?
#i hope you weren’t expecting me to take this in good faith and give a nice measured response#because just so we’re clear you didn’t have a chance in hell of doing anything other than pissing me off#like in case you forgot i am a real person who this is happening to#in what world did you think i’d care about how an anonymous stranger feels about how i describe it when im the one who has to live it#idk man. some of y’all clearly do not see me as an actual person capable of emotion and it shows#also like. using a friend’s experience is wild bc 1) how do you know it was the same if it didn’t happen to you#and 2) would that friend really want you using their experience against another trans person experiencing something similar?#anon hate#ask answered#examples of transandrophobia#transandrophobia#transandromisia#transmisandry#virilmisia#virilphobia#anti transmasculinity#transmascphobia#trans men

What would happen if a chick had nothing to imprint on, not even hatchmates, or if it couldn't see anything? What would that chick act like?
I don't know, as that would be very cruel to do to a baby, so no one would or should do it.
#asks#anon asks#this is a great example of why fiction is allowed to be dark or horrible or cruel by the way#because humans are terribly curious creatures#we have questions like this to ask#and it's much safer to answer them in fiction than inflict it on anything in the real world#“hey what if this happened” “that would be real fucked up”#is the basis of so much fiction and media#blind chicks by the way imprint by sound and touch still#and locate food by the sound of others#so you'd be talking about total sensory deprivation#not just visual impairment#and total sensory deprivation would just kill them

Idea for if nsbu ever gets a tv adaptation have 2 different shooting styles one for when we’re watching a scene from the action movie and one for the real world then when they get sucked into the movie whenever they’re shooting in the real world style you hear the real persons voice come out and when they’re shooting the movie style you hear the characters voice come out
#so for example the racing in the long beach 5000 would be shot mostly in movie style#but for scenes like in the hotel room or in the gift shop it’s shot in real world style and you hear the real peoples voices#it coild really make the scenes where they speak to their reflections even cooler than they already are#autism (mads) speaks#dimension 20#d20#dimension 20 nsbu#never stop blowing up#nsbu#d20 nsbu#d20 never stop blowing up#dimension 20 never stop blowing up

the new one piece chapter... we are finally learning about the void century and its via a 900yr old children's drawing fossilized in a tree, what could be better
#im so so so normal about it i swear im not thinking about the world described as having ended 3 times or everything shown#im just gonna say on the right its gotta be birka being mined and things change depending on if we think nika was a real person#cus if hes a myth. like doesnt exist for example or perishes due to reasons then joyboys time ends either the beginning or end of 2nd world#i personally enjoy the thought of nika being a god like being that keeps being reborn as either a fruit during the void century#ive gone crazy thinking about who 'they will never meet again' is and why its so important the tense changes to 'surely they will meet'#like its all a fantasy its all a dream whoever has written it is either talking abt it like a legend or a childs dream its so interesting#one piece spoilers#op spoilers#op 1138

We were robbed of potential Nedrick and Leonidas interaction...
Hear me out, I think it would have been hilarious to see if the two of them had a genuine conversation about their goals, because they might be getting amped up and mutually excited that they could be powerful allies only for it all to go down in flames the second they give each other details on their dreams. Because they're so in lockstep with each other about so many of their views, and then they just go an entirely opposite way with them.
Even if I discount Leonidas' initial 'strong eat weak' vs. Nedrick's 'weak rise up' mentality, you still get hilarity all the same.
For example...
#dragalia lost#dragalia#let's be real if Leo and Neddy teamed up things would have been Very Bad#Which makes it so funny that they're this close to being in full agreement and yet so far!#Another near-miss for this world's Grastea (and that one already got some very short sticks)!#It's funny seeing how where the siblings line up on opinions because you also get chaotic examples like the Sacred Tree#Euden+co and Nedrick don't want the control the Progenitor wants#Zethia and Phares don't want Nedrick to have a full pact#Everyone is happy to kill Elysium#Nedrick and Phares (well the Progenitor) don't like Euden#It's just this crazy mashup of a bunch of siblings on a tree fighting not who gets to be in the treehouse but who should control the world.

The thing is, I very much do consider myself a progressive, but I’m a pragmatic progressive, which to me means (among other things) that I have a meaningful understanding of how government actually works, including being honest about what can and can’t be done through executive order and agency action, SCOTUS ratfuckery, and which party is responsible for congressional gridlock. As a policy matter, it also means I recognize that slogans are not policy and that the vast majority of policy goals can be reached in many ways (and that insisting your preferred method must be used to reach a goal while refusing to accept alternatives that are more feasible to implement and will accomplish the ultimate goal is the height of selfishness). And relatedly, I don’t demonize incremental change because in my view if you can help some people you should even if you aren’t able to help absolutely everyone you wanted to, you have a moral obligation to at a minimum help those you can and continue the fight for everyone else the next day. These things are not incompatible with progressive policy goals or values, and yet to the online left, those views make me an evil neoliberal etc etc. It never ceases to amaze me.
#chapel for ts#there was a protestor who gave an interview saying like ‘the president could end the ip conflict with a phone call’#and they claimed to be a lawyer and professor and I was like…well then either you’re actively lying or just extremely stupid#because that’s not how foreign policy works in the real world#as a random example I have a personal pet peeve over people saying m4a is the only way to have universal healthcare#but there are many others
