As a fellow member of "leaning over is bad," I've used a short rolling stool + a long handled scrubber tool thingy like this. It worked really well for tile but you could probably wrap the scrubber with a cloth if you need something less abrasive for your type of floor www.amazon.com/dp/B091F45FL6

Oh wait there it was. Just weirdly illogical in favor of being meanspirited. If 20 other people have said the same thing then that sounds like they might have a point, but seemed like he twisted it instead as a bad thing like "oh yawn come up with something original to say."

Craig @thelordgod.bsky.social Everything fucking sucks right now, Ken. Nobody wants to see a movie about a dog dying. It's not rocket science. When times are good people are ok experiencing sadness via art or entertainment. When the world sucks balls people want escape from misery - not more of it. How does this need explaining? 1:47 PM · Sep 26, 2026

Ken Jennings @kenjennings.bs... · 1d Like the other 20 people who have replied with this explanation, you're very confident about it! It's not exactly wrong, but it's so reductive that I'd say it's closer to wrong than right.

Actually fuck it I'm just blocking him because he's clearly just being a smug asshole I don't know what the situation was recently that had people talking about the jeopardy guy being shitty but yup I guess so!

[quoted post]
Ken Jennings @kenjenning... But it doesn't do anybody any good to conflate actual trauma with "things that make me feel sad." We all have that! You weren't actually "scarred" by the horse dying in Neverending Story. You just felt big, grown-up emotions (maybe for the first time). And it happened in a safe, low-stakes setting.

darude snowstorm @darudesnowst... Probably depends a lot upon whether kids had someone to help them process it. If a kid is suddenly blasted with horrible adult-sized feelings and "New Fear Of the Real World Unlocked" while only having kid-sized emotional resources, that absolutely can be actual trauma.

Ken Jennings @kenjennings.bsk... yes it's important to talk to a trusted adult when Artax goes into quicksand

Ken Jennings @kenjennings.bsky.social they have seen fictional horses go into fictional quicksand before and can connect you with the right resources

darude snowstorm @darudesnowst...
Goddamn bro do you not have experience with young children? A significant part of kids learning to deal with "big emotions" is that fictional/ minor things can be as upsetting to them as real/major ones, because they lack perspective due to being like four years old.

So fun that this could happen again except with The Bad Ending

Wikipedia
1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident

On 26 September 1983, during the Cold War, the Soviet nuclear early warning system Oko reported the launch of one intercontinental ballistic missile with four more missiles behind it, from the United States. These missile attack warnings were suspected to be false alarms by Stanislav Petrov (1939–2017), an engineer of the Soviet Air Defence Forces on duty at the command center of the early-warning system. He decided to wait for corroborating evidence—of which none arrived—rather than immediately relaying the warning up the chain of command. This decision is seen as having prevented a retaliatory nuclear strike against the United States and its NATO allies, which would likely have resulted in a full-scale nuclear war.

Also makes me wonder if people are familiar with this, especially since the lack of Theory of Mind has been mentioned more lately.

Table of Kohlberg's Moral Stages

Column headers: Level and Age | Stage | What determines right and wrong?

Row 1: Preconventional, up to the age of 9:
Punishment & Obedience: Right and wrong defined by what they get punished for. If you get told off for stealing then obviously stealing is wrong.

Instrumental-Relativist: Similar, but right and wrong is now determined by what we are rewarded for, and by doing what others want. Any concern for others is motivated by selfishness.

Row 2: Conventional, Most adolescents and adults:
Interpersonal Concordance: Being good is whatever pleases others. The child adopts a conformist attitude to morality. Right and wrong are determined by the majority.

Law and order: Being good now means doing your duty to society. To this end we obey laws without question and show a respect for authority. Most adults do not progress past this stage.

Row 3: Postconventional, 0 to 15% of the over 20s. Social contract: Right and wrong now determined by personal values. although these can be over-ridden by democratically agreed laws. When laws infringe our own sense of justice we can choose to ignore them.

Universal ethical principle: We now live in accordance with deeply held moral principles which are seen as more important than the laws of the land.

Since I currently don't have words besides [redacted screaming], some other words come to mind and I'll just leave them here

Mark 3 New International Version

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

3
Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. 3 Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.”

4 Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.

5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.

Good lord man I was going to ask if "pros and cons" is supposed to be a joke about the pros conning him, but I guess probably not if he actually paid $400 for someone to install Windows 11 What are the pros of the printer then Tom. I'm not seeing any here

3 star review
Pros and Cons
Tom

I took the printer out of the box and began to set it up which was straightforward. But at the 5th or 6th step, it said call Canon to guide me through the wireless connectivity. But the Canon representative said I had to get Windows 11 installed first which would cost me an extra $250 so I asked if he would direct me to Microsoft. Instead, he directed me to a small IT vendor who said they could get it running for $400 ($250 for Windows 11 plus another $150 to complete the set up). So I paid up and 3 hours later it was working fine but here I paid less than $50 for the printer but another $400 to get it running. Has anyone experienced anything like this from Canon? I think this is my 4th inexpensive Canon printer, and every one has given me years of reliable service, but I never had this kind of installation experience before. Was this legit or a big rip off?
