  • It’s an optical illusion. By definition their isn’t generally anything YOU would call erroneous about any optical illusion, I’d guess. The fact that the text is difficult bordering on impossible to read at some angles is the perceptual error. Stop ignoring obvious interpretations to support your pedantic trolling.


  • That’s an unhelpfully restrictive definition of illusion that is itself illusory. An illusion is also:

    A sensation originated by some external object, but so modified as in any way to lead to an erroneous perception; as when the rolling of a wagon is mistaken for thunder.

    The text is hidden or revealed through a change in perspective. That is the illusion.












  • You seem to be implying that you are somehow more entitled to that public space than kids. Sounds like something an entitled little bitch would say. Are you an entitled little bitch? Public space is for the public, ALL the public. If let your own hangups lead you to bullying the most naive and impressionable of us, then you are sacrificing other people’s freedom. And if you are people like this then I say, “fuck you too”. The social contract of public space doesn’t entitled you to be unbothered by other people.



  • Bull. This is corporate propaganda for the grind culture, the same capitalist culture that is currently grinding the middle class into the gutter.

    I love my job. I’m pretty fucking good at it, probably wouldn’t be much good at anything else. But, I wouldn’t do it for free. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t need a job. And I still get burnt out on the constant demands it makes on my time and energy. Turns out, humans value play over obligation. We are most fulfilled, happy, and joyful at play. Play is like the opposite of obligation. The only thing worse than being forced to work is watching as your play (fulfilling thing you enjoy doing) turns to work (that thing you’re obligated to do for survival).

    It’s the time that is the difference, not the bullshit fallacy of “do what you love”. If we could all survive off of a 3-4 day work week and a 3-4 day weekend, that might actually make a dent on those problems. We might all find we’re all a lot less stressed, fulfilled, and able to connect more meaningfully with the rest of humanity.
