Not particularly specific to life in space, but nonetheless equally applicable there:
- Never get angry at something you can outsmart.
- You’re not shocking us; you just look like an idiot.
- If something is real, you can measure it.

Ahhhhh … but you’re talking of those morons that do stupid things to shock and amaze, like the fucktards from Jackass and the like.
Me I shock with intense mental imagery that require a brain draino to ever be able to be ignored.
And why not get angry? It’s a great motivator. It’s an emotion we all have, embrace it and use it rather than dwell on the anger.
And dude, who’s measuring stick are we using?

Coyote! I have answers…
1. Not quite. I’m talking about teenagers who dress in a manner intended to shock. That is a massive fail.
(Jackass, while replete with a full compliment of fucktards, serves to satisfy the lower end of my sense of humour, where I approve of people hurting themselves to amuse others.)
2. Angry’s great – when it’s called for. If a child or a pet pulls a fast one on you, you ought to be angry at yourself if you get duped.
3. Whatever measuring stick is appropriate to the task at hand; whatever that task may be, as long as you record how you did it so I can measure it too and get the same result.
