The Veil Nebula Is A Large Supernova Remnant, The Expanding Debris Cloud From The Death Explosion Of

Life tip for the 18-26 crowd: if you’re considering a career in a field where the big selling point is that soon all the [Generational Cohort] will retire and all the jobs will open up, don’t do it. And don’t get a Masters degree in it.

Moreover, unless you have family or spousal money to fall back on, stay away from fields where management weaponizes employees’ “passion” against their need for a wage commensurate with COL in their area.

Get an MBA, get project management experience, learn about organizational psychology, and start getting those experiences as soon as you can.

I don’t regret my choices; they’ve led me to the very exciting place I am now with a book coming out, and some amazing interviews lined up. But if I knew 12 years ago what I know now, I would have made some alterations.

One of the stranger things about training brand new nurses is explaining how to min max small talk. It feels very weird to coach people on how to chat.

Are you saying it's okay to take the life of another human because you can chose whether to kill it or not?

Hi anon!

Thanks for the input :) There’s no easy answer, I’m afraid. It depends what model of ethics you follow (deontology, consequentialism), but it is never black or white, sadly.

Have you ever heard of the trolley problem?

Imagine this: A train is running uncontrollably down the tracks. No brakes. Sadly, there are 5 people chained the tracks, who will be killed unless you flick a switch, which will change the train onto tracks that have 3 people chained to the tracks.

Either 5 people get killed, or you become responsible for the death of 3 innocent people by flicking this switch.

So, is it alright to take the lives of these humans because you can choose whether they are killed or not? Is it logical to spare some lives by killing 3 people instead of 5?

There’s no easy answer, I’m afraid :( Should you be allowed to decide what happens to your body? Absolutely. Is it wrong to abort babies, essentially killing them? Some people think so. There’s no easy answer, but I believe that we should be allowed to decide what happens to our bodies. Perhaps the answer is educate youngsters on sexuality and pregnancies, but in some cases, pregnancy will occur no matter how much protection you use - these are the cases that I think abortion should be acceptable for, being the next step from emergency contraceptives.

I hope this helped at all :)

Thanks for the question, anon! :)

Been wondering if Tommy might go back to using 'Buck' to refer to Buck when next they meet, given the circumstances of their most recent parting, so... Bucktommy nation, what name will Tommy use for Buck when they see each other again in the two-parter?
