We could invent a loss based wiriting system

|', ,| ', '_| <- loss

| _' ,' |, ,'| <- gain

| | | <- template for other words (sentences?)

I lost = |○', ,| ', '_]

We lost = |○○', ,| ', '_]

○= singular first person pronoun

○○ = plural first person pronoun

] = finished action, marker for past tense

|○_' ,'|, ',$] <- i got paid

"Welcome to the base, private, let me show you around: This is Major Key, she keeps us upbeat. And this is Corporal Punishment, don't get on his bad side. If you need anything, you can go to General Store directly. Understood?"

"Sir, yes, sir!"

"Great. One last one thing, what's your name?"

"Parts, sir."

"Well, Private Parts, I hope I got you covered. Dismissed."

Thank you General Description, Sir.

"Scientists should be working on curing cancer instead of doing [Thing]" just get funnier and funnier to me over time because

  • there's so many papers and studies about curing cancer that they drown everything else out. God help you if you're trying to research something that has ever been considered applicable to cancer research.
  • "cancer" is a whole category of diseases that includes hundreds of different things
  • The way i understand it, "cancer" is a consequence of cells aging and being exposed to stresses over time. The goal is to stop it from developing too early, curing cancer IN GENERAL is a bit like trying to cure entropy
  • the amount of progress we've made on treating and preventing cancer even in the last few decades is so insane, it's a lot more impressive than "curing" a single disease would be.
  • different scientists aren't interchangeable. What's a meteorologist going to do for cancer research
  • If we didn't have the other scientists, we would die a lot more of the other stuff
  • there WAS that one guy who programmed an AI to categorize different types of cookies and pastries that ended up being great for detecting cancer cells, so YOU NEVER KNOW

Not to sound to Calvin-coded, but was anyone else vaguely disappointed as a child that your parents had food coloring stocked in their kitchen and yet continued to serve you home-cooked meals that were regularly colored?

Like, don't get me wrong mom, these mashed potatoes are perfectly tasty, but I bet they'd be just as tasty and significantly cooler if they were green.

I read "Calvin-coded" and I wasn't sure whether what came next would be about childhood whimsey or how it's predestined whether God's mercy will save us from our deserved damnation.

Calvin and Hobbes is great and John Calvin can suck my pope hat
