mind you the pilot was a man. but because the CO pilot was female my tl is filled with misogyny today. men need to be lonelier
>Pays $30,000 to fly private >female pilot >mfw
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Florida Learjet crash had a male captain and female co-pilot. It occurred during a severe thunderstorm. The NTSB is investigating. Studies adjusting for experience find no significant difference in accident rates between male and female pilots. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Palm… newsweek.com/do-women-pilot… aopa.org/training-and-s…

I hate how shows are now filming in a way that makes it easy to cut it down to shortform content. wdym everything is perfectly in center.
MINIMUM WAGE IS NOW ON NETFLIX. A new series based on the hit internet short-form series from American High about a group of teens trying to keep a struggling pizza shop afloat.

Deadlock‘s universe is so beatiful to look at. You can tell the devs and designers have so much fun with it.
All propaganda posters for new Deadlock heroes.

random npcs in the pokemon center when you walk up and talk to them:
This is random but the backpack is really one of the greatest inventions. Great form and function. Lasts a long time, even the cheap ones. And is available and used by every kind of person.

Esports content is a money pit that doesnt even pay for itself in 80% of cases. It‘s a necessary evil that needs to be nurtured but scaling it beyond bare minimum does very little for most orgs. Content should be a key pillar of a larger community building strategy.
The state of Esports content is not in the right place. It doesn't make sense to me how many orgs will continue recruiting more rosters when their core staffing and business model is unstable. Content is where the return on your investment comes from. Marketing is everything. It's how you get sponsors, and it's even being required by publishers and tournament organizers recently. Above all, it's how you build a loyal audience and sell consumer products as an additional income stream for your company. Admittedly, it doesn't even have to be the greatest quality... just target the right people. The unpreparedness from so many teams is unfathomable. You know your budget, be it an investment, and you know what events are upcoming whether you qualify or not. As freelancers, we accept jobs to the last second when possible and necessary so the client sees no issue and repeats this as they rarely even care about what service they are purchasing anyway. But, it's not right, andit really doesn't have to be this way. I don't even need to explain the consistent unreliability on payments, it's too often from too many companies. Don't promise money, you don't have. We should not have to account for working for even nearly five figures a month, and more when you consider reimbursements for travel expenses out of pocket, and yet not recieve it for several months (past the agreement) and be behind on bills. A complete lack of human respect. It's been so hard to stay motivated, but people like Slendy and myself simply genuinely have a passion for creating the best projects we can, in a space we love, for people we admire. I hope the ecosystem doesn't push us out entirely. We'll keep grinding, and keep searching for our next project.

Working at Complexity has massively helped me grow as a human and I will forever be grateful to @coL_Beef @JasonBWLake and @coL_Fantasy for taking a chance on me. Met some of the greatest talents and overall fantastic humans at coL. Miss y'all. ❤️🫡
Thank you for 23 years of Complexity.

rewatching Futurama and every episode is either: - silly Fry episode - silly Bender episode - silly Zoidberg episode - you are of infinitesimal significance to the cosmos and you are doomed to live and die in a blink of existence, trapped in the relentless onward march of time

The German for ‘could've, would've, should've’ is ‘hätte hätte Fahrradkette’. This translates as ‘would've, would've, bike chain’.

Asian people across the diaspora have the extremely creative writing while Asian-Americans can only write the same story about how hard it was not being white while growing up rich.
DANG!, a new adult animated series, premieres September 8. Starring Andrew Law, Poppy Liu, and Stephanie Hsu. Siblings Andrew and Eunice are living out their fun and messy dreams in New York City. Until their worst nightmare comes true: their high-achieving sister Ruthie wants to hang out...

The geniuses at @YouTube have decided that our latest episode of Bridge Kids will only be set as "for kids" and that their decision is final. They claim a real human reviewed the video and made this decision too! Here is what a real human at YT thinks a video for kids looks like
