look I’m not gonna pretend I know anything about electronics, but sometimes a plug is so big it blocks another socket, and I’m always like “who the fuck do you think you are”
CEOs such a deeply unserious concept. Hi I’m the guy whose job it is to decide how much money everyone gets and I just so happened to decide I should get two squilliam dollars and you should get a penny and a half. I know I did a good job because math please don’t double check.
‘lazy people don’t feel guilty about not doing anything’ is insane to me and I have been trying to make my brain believe it for a long time, it shocked me to my core when I first heard it
Honestly, the fact that terry Pratchett has experience around nuclear power makes so much sense once you realize what magic is standing as a metaphor for in the discworld. Like, look at this fucking quote from going postal:
“That’s why [magic] was left to wizards, who knew how to handle it safely. Not doing any magic at all was the chief task of wizards—not "not doing magic” because they couldn’t do magic, but not doing magic when they could do and didn’t. Any ignorant fool can fail to turn someone else into a frog. You have to be clever to refrain from doing it when you knew how easy it was. There were places in the world commemorating those times when wizards hadn’t been quite as clever as that, and on many of them the grass would never grow again.“
Like… It feels incredibly obvious what he’s talking about once you know the context.
