World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I don't know much about fighting a war, but I *do* know more then is necessary or sensible about charts & graphs. So I'm confident I can say: this is absurd. 010
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 07/10/2026If you can't use your very own money to buy the bag you want, you're adulting all wrong 020
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Did you know it's NOT always full of scary water? DID YOU KNOW THIS AND NOT TELL ME?? 000
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 07/10/2026But surely the whole point of P&P was that only The Pretty One deserves a happy ending 😭😭 1100
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 06/10/2026"The right is turning Harry Potter into something heteronormative, promale, and anti-trans" is ........... no, actually, gonna let him have this one. Go ahead & claim responsibility for the franchise. Yes we're soooooooo sad about it, weeping in my tea, you should probably go gloat far far away now. 160
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I got lucky, it was worse for me than any of the kids. Blisters fully covering soles of both feet, I couldn't walk for days 😭 010
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 05/10/2026the pediatrician SWORE we didn't need to worry because "no one over 10 gets hand-foot-mouth disease" well take away my bills and sign me up for naptime, because 🤒 380
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Like, I know the search will pop up the AI response at the top... but I can just ignore and scroll past it. The restaurant I looked up also has a bar, but that doesn't mean going out for dinner turns me into an alcoholic. 140
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Even for his example... If I'm looking for a restaurant's menu, I google them & click the link to *their website*. If they used an AI coder to build the site or something, that's out of my control, doesn't involve me directly engaging with the model, & realistically there's no way for me to know. 180
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 04/10/2026My parents skirted the cost of school photos by just keeping the proofs sheet... but I guess feeding your kid into the Child Smasher 4000 also works 020
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 04/10/2026With a kid who's less than 100% committed to doing their part? This is a losing battle. With a kid who doesn't even know you?? Only God can help you now. So what you have to ask yourself is ... how sure am I that the angels are on the side of my political career? And VR got his answer. 010
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 04/10/2026But it IS possible. You're going to get down on their level, and then get organized. There's 2 of you, and this is now a team sport. Get secure while STILL SQUATTING. And then you're going to stand all 160% of your base weight back up. This is where you find out if you're overpaying at the gym. 👇 100
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 04/10/2026As a small person who spawned enormous offspring, here's my expert analysis. Where VR fails is in the planning. There's no quick swing to the hip anymore - we're at least 4 years past that. You've GOT TO do your squats. Lift with your legs; your back just doesn't play this game on this level. 👇 110
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Even the kid knew. Had a supporting hand ready on the podium before his feet came off the floor. 031
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I can't hear anything over the blinding glare coming off Pink Sweater's teeth 010
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I wrote down all the steps from A to B, with their distances. And then tracked the odometer to know when I was trading my next step. (I didn't drive pre internet-at-home for looking things ..... before that, I imagine it would involve a lot of going around the block twice, and swearing) 010
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Well it's definitely a palace. As for corn - I suggest going inside and asking loudly and repeatedly where they keep it. I'm sure a docent will be happy to assist you. 010
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Tbh I think I do have a "personal style", if not the one I wanted, and if we can define it as "didn't sleep well and it's laundry day" 010
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I have to Reset the display every time I get in, because a SENSOR went bad. There's nothing wrong with the system, but the defective sensor thinks there is, and thinks telling me so is more important than letting me see my odometer, speedometer, or gas gauge. 000
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I think I smell the faint aroma of a Management Consultant behind this. "You could really bring up these line-speed numbers if they were standing up - we have research that says standing employees are 23% more productive than seated ones!" 050
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 01/10/2026My feelings about capital punishment are not complicated at all, and the only way to improve it is to quit doing it at all. 040

World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 30/09/2026They don't appear to understand how ANYTHING works. Even if the robot compositions were genuinely amazing, we'd probably still be finding them, on a day-to-day basis, through Apple Music/Spotify/misc streaming apps. 020
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 30/09/2026As someone more typically on the receiving end of such a taunt, I am willing to step up and start a raucous screech of "NERRRRRRRDDDD" at his entire staff 010
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Typical liberal media, zooming waaaayyyy out on one of the images so all the extraneous clutter will distract us from 2 completely identical people 010
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Fruit cup eaters: we have figured out how to very gently pull to open these without needing to take a shower after Fruit cups: We have now invented a form of glue that could lift a cinderblock pasted to a single strand of dental floss 0270
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I could clean out my bottom desk drawer and make a mint reselling my collection of Valuable Artifacts (lost pencils) 000
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Oh, so it's like my cat when she gets into a narrow spot. (Except she doesn't even try to keep going, EVEN WHEN SHE ABSOLUTELY COULD and the exit is RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER, she freezes and screams for resue.) 010

World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I have made fewer than 30 cookies in a go, but that's only because sometimes recipe writers do not have a clear understanding of how big a cookie should be 000
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I havent worked in healthcare, but I taught high school so ... same 😅 010
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Yeah sure..... follow us right into the meeting room, immediately start talking to each other, and ask us where the coffee and snacks are 🙃 121
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Don't even get me started on putting tomatoes in there 010
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 29/09/2026If my kids went looking for a snack and found out it was 1 cheese stick, 2 pieces of carrot, and 2 pieces of mostly-leaves celery, they would eat ME instead 100
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Those carrot sticks are going to be so floppy by tomorrow morning, you could use them for the next greatest trend : produce macrame 120
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Our parents didn't spend 40 years yelling "shut that door, what the hell are you staring at in there" just to be betrayed like this 130
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 27/09/2026There's so much God-justified killing in the Old Testament, I think we can make a case 110
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 27/09/2026If you are incapable of behaving safely in a given space, if you are harming others, you don't get to be in that space. That is unfortunate, and I'm sorry you might miss out on some fun. But you can't be there. Because of THE HARM YOU ARE DOING, not your labels. They are NOT THE SAME THING. 010
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It is NOT POSSIBLE to exercise a "gaslighting kink" ethically. Someone might indeed have one, but there are many things that, if you find them arousing, you just have to learn to live without them because they can't be done safely and with true consent... and this is one of them. 0120
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 26/09/2026And the very rare people who make it to/past college before their bump finds them? Often avoid dealing with it altogether, by declaring everything that presents difficulty as Not Worth Knowing, A Waste Of Valuable Time. Keep that in mind when Smart People tell you what does/doesn't matter to learn. 020
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The farther you make it into your education before you hit The Speedbump, the more devastating it is. When there's never been a *need* to learn study skills or perseverance ... they just don't exist when they're needed. 130
World Ahead @worldahead.bsky.social · 26/09/2026We talked about it a lot bc I was teaching math, & for almost all Smart Kids, their very first interaction with The Speedbump usually happens somewhere between Algebra 2 and Calculus. They've been getting straight A's on cruise control through their ENTIRE math career, and then BAM 🌟trigonometry🌟. 120
