Thinking a lot about pro heroes who became pros after All Might's debut but then had to witness his final fight and adjust amidst the fall out of that. 'Uh oh! The defining pillar of your life, career, and society is gone' kind of thoughts

I'm asking bc I'm considering going back to school and finishing my degree if I can but I'm insanely anxious about potential job and income stability. Any regrets? Advice for a stranger?

I always pick the teacher/adult option if they're available in an otome game where you're a high school student not because it's "my thing" or whatever

I do it because once I've played for like thirty minutes I'm reminded that high school boys are only second to middle school boys when it comes to being annoying as FUCK, and that extends to the sparkly shiny bishie ones in otome games

I think one of the more common misconceptions in the cultural understanding of space is in the arrangement of the planets of the solar system

this is a fairly typical depiction of the solar system, and crucially i am too lazy to find a more typical one. The issue is not, as most people are keen to point out, the lack of scale in size or distance, or in relation to size and distance. Even if people can't actually conceptualise this, they are aware of it.

The issue is that people tend to imagine the planets in this sort of arrangement. if you go out from earth there is mars, then the asteroid belt, then jupiter, saturn, so on. Without touching on the technicalities of transfer orbits and so on, this is just an onerous and misleading way of thinking that is typically just run in the background without remark.

all the planets are orbiting the sun* at great distances and at different rates. Imagine yourself looking down on the solar system from a great distance, and imagine cardinal directions laid over the system with the sun at the center. Earth might be presently East of the sun, and it's orbit very close to Mars' orbit, but right now Mars is all the way exactly opposite it in the west!* this means it is as far away from earth as the earths distance from the sun + the distance between earth and mars' orbits. Mars is, on average, not the closest planet to earth. Mercury is - its usually the closest to all the inner planets, because it has a short orbit and orbits the sun quickly.

This great discrepancy is only made more extreme with the outer planets - Mars could be quite close to Earth, but Jupiter is now away in the west. If Saturn and Jupiter can find themselves at truly massive removes from each other. You won't even notice yourself doing it, but you imagine jupiter and saturn as being near each other.

For the purposes of space flight, in practice, distance between objects in space are not measured by kilometres or miles. They are measured by energy and time, across a shifting landscape of the interplay of orbits and gravities, which sometimes form convenient highways where 'distance' in time/energy is lowered* even if the kilometres involved increase. but that is a different problem.

i should just drop out and become a welder or something tbh

Moving is already so fucking stressful but this time I'll be in a position where if something falls through, I won't be able to just fix it myself. And that's so much worse

"In Sacramento, California, an estimated 6,615 people are experiencing homelessness, a number that — while still heartbreakingly high — has declined 29% since 2023, according to the latest Point In Time counts. 

But a new project, which has been in the works since 2022, might bring that number down even lower.

A new 13-acre property purchased by Sacramento County will soon be home to the Watt Service Center and Safe Stay. 

The county broke ground on the mixed-use service center this week, which will provide shelter, emergency respite, safe parking, health services, and more to community members who are unsheltered — meaning they don’t have a place to safely sleep at night.

“We wanted to do something that is not only larger, but a large-scale campus to provide more than just the shelter,” Janna Haynes, of the county’s Department of Homeless Services and Housing, told KCRA3 News.

The Watt Service Center will have amenities to help meet the needs of anyone staying there, including bathrooms, showers, laundry, and food, as well as mental health, treatment, and employment services.

“You can also meet with your case manager, get behavior health services, look for a job, get rehousing services, a place for your dog,” Jaynes added. “It’s really everything you need, not only for your day-to-day life, but to hopefully end your homelessness.”

While the center is a costly offering, the city explained that it is ultimately less expensive than allowing the homelessness crisis to go unmitigated.

The land was purchased for $22 million and will cost an estimated $42 million to construct the center. According to ABC10 News it will be mostly funded by the American Rescue Plan Act.

While the center will have the capacity to host 225 beds in Safe Stay cabins, 50-person capacity in Safe Parking, and 75-person capacity for emergency/weather respite beds, it will serve countless others outside of the 350 total people it can house at any given time.

According to a press release from the county, “conservative estimates” have found that over the course of 15 years, the center will serve 18,000 people.

In 2017, the city found that the average cost for an “unsheltered individual” was about $45,000 a year, considering public systems like county jail, shelters, behavioral health, and more.

With the projected impact of the shelter, that cost lowers to less than $3,600 per person.

“If you break down the funding, it’s actually not that expensive,” Rich Desmond, county supervisor for District 3, told ABC10.

“It’s a heck of a lot cheaper than letting someone stay out in the community, unsheltered where they are extremely expensive in terms of the emergency response from fire, our emergency rooms, our law enforcement response.”

Providing what the county calls “wraparound services” not only brings down costs but truly helps people meet their basic needs.

“The really great thing about this site in particular, that we don't have at any other shelters, is the sheer size and the ability to really wrap everything people need,” Emily Halcon, director of the Department of Homeless Services and Housing with Sacramento County, told ABC10. 

One notable feature is the center’s Safe Parking spaces, which are the first of their kind in the city. People living in their cars will now have a safe place to park, monitored by security.

“We know a lot of people who are unsheltered actually are living out of their cars,” Desmond said, “maybe a family that’s barely hanging on but they still need that vital transportation to get their kids to school or get to work.”

This support is especially helpful for those who are newly homeless, Halcon added, building on the amenities provided in the county’s two other “safe stay” facilities. 

While Sacramento County just broke ground on the Watt Service Center, officials say they hope to begin moving people into the facility in January 2026.

“Our staff is putting in extra time and attention to this campus, ensuring that it houses everything we need to end homelessness for people,” Desmond said in a statement.

Once it’s up and running, Jaynes told KCRA3, they plan to onboard formerly unhoused community members as part of the staff at the facility.

“When you have a conversation with someone who understands where you’ve been, and you see the success they’re having now,” Jaynes said, “it really does give you hope something could be different.”
