Whoever designed this bathroom in-universe needs to go to hell

From left to right:

  • Two toilets. Side by side. No room in between. This is violating the most holy covenant of toilets that I just made up.
  • On which side do you put the toilet paper? Do you reach over the toilet next to you when you need to wipe? Are you so filthy rich and devoid of any shred of human dignity and humility that you'd rather put two rolls of toilet paper in this economy?
  • Massive window with no frosting glass. I can make eye contact with the bandits in the street when I take a piss. This is a first floor apartment. Are you trying to flex how rich you are and piss on the poor metaphorically and literally?
  • The mirror is slightly offset from the middle of the sinks. I cannot even right now.
  • The sinks. Why do you need THREE. SEPARATE. SINKS? SIDE BY SIDE? Just PUT A LARGE SINK? And you couldn't even get some decent fucking luxury sinks, you had to get the stock models from IKEA?
  • The shower directly faces the door. What happens if you forget to lock?
  • Wooden floors. WOODEN FLOORS. IN A BATHROOM. This is no different from "carpeted kitchen".

I wish I could commit arson in this game because I would burn this bathroom to the ground specifically.

A stupid hypothetical about Season 6

I just started binge watching old seasons, recently finishing Season 8 and moving on to Season 6. The intro gave me a thought though - what would the teams do if the flag item in the vending machine had run out? What if the vending machine wasn't working at all?

^(I mean, I suppose they can just take the whole vending machine but that seems impractical and also not very legal.)

My Jet Lag Milton Keynes tour!

Things really have come full circle for me - Jet Lag: the Game was one of the things that got me fully hooked to geography and travel, which led to me doing it for my public exams, which led to me getting into urban planning in university, which led to me travelling to Milton Keynes on a field trip for the course!

Me being the avid Jet Lagger that I am, I went back and watched the entire episode, marking out basically every recognizable spot from the video and visiting them all on our free day in one go. It was such an amazing experience going where the boys have gone and seeing where a piece of Jet Lag history happened. See if you can figure out why each of the spots are included!

Watching this whole argument has made me realize how separate from reality online debates can get. On Reddit and Twitter and wherever else, blue pushers label red pushers as psychopathic, violent people who only want to see others die, while red pushers label blue pushers suicidal, idiotic members of death cults who just want to die or gamble with their lives.

But most people aren't even gonna think like that. I am absolutely certain there are plenty kind-hearted good people out in the world (though somehow a minority in the online spaces debating this question) who may pick either button. The reason is simple.

Blue pushers likely simply worry about other people, and do not want more to die, or they do not wish to be part of the survivors who would be indirectly responsible for the death of billions.

Red pushers likely just fear death and rely on their natural instinct of self-preservation, choosing their own survival first. Many people correctly state a majority of red voters likely still hope blue wins, they're just scared to risk their own lives on this bet.
