Hope is cheap. It can be a great motivator, yes. But this has nothing to do with hope. Hope would be painting the landscape around the lines of the bars. This is 100% about ignoring reality.

One paints a picture of a real and present issue, the other paints exactly what the people who put them in a cage want them to think about.

There is a prison on San Francisco Bay that has a giant wall on the bay side so the prisoners don't have a nice view. I think about that a lot.

See, that's just your perspective

"Common person"

That is not the common person. Please seek views outside Reddit or whatever site is misinforming you. The average person does not need two jobs.

Too late!

i mean if you are intentionally leaving out whats actually there ...your lying to yourself...whether its in good faith or not

Yeah, it kind of looks like the swimmer is getting gagged by the black water. Or maybe he's throwing up the black water? Hard to know which direction the black water is going.

You guys get breaks?

Ok now do one where they’re on a sinking boat, and one is focusing on the hole sinking the boat, and the other is blithely enjoying the sunset

Fun tidbit: shortly in this scene all characters recognize the inconsistency in having a fire underwater -- in which the fire promptly gets snuffed.

So the motivational part makes even less sense

Unless you have deep cycle batteries in your phone somehow you do not want to let lithium ion batteries go down that low, it will reduce the lifespan of the batteries.

Seems impractical and out of touch with the common person who needs two jobs to make rent.

Tips on how to get to the yellow again? It's been years I think I need a battery replacement or something.

You're probably right /u/LICK_MY_SCROTUM

"Frank i know we had fun at the beach today but im trying to explain why these bars dont keep the cold out at night stop painting the fucking sun and focus"

Can I please, get a battery indicator on my wrist?!

That was only true for nickel cadmium chemistry.

Fun fact: for lead acid chemistry (car batteries), it's the other way around: deep discharging damages them.

When it comes to rechargeable lithium batteries, it's better for their lifespan if you let them fully deplete before charging them. So, while I agree with the sentiment of the post, I think a battery is a poor metaphor for its point.

Glass isn't half full or half empty, it's too big.

Hey bigfops, littlefops just up and quit so we're gonna need you to cover his shifts.

Hey bigfops, middlefops also just quit, we're gonna need you to cover his shifts.

Hey bigfops, corporate just announced their latest mandatory SOP change, shitcan everything you know about doing your job and join this zoom meeting about the new rollout that goes live today.

Hey bigfops, we gotta schedule a meeting about how deadlines aren't being met.
