researching parrying daggers as a fun little treat and i'm delighted by how much every single one of these things looks like it's designed to be as annoying as possible

Toby Fox may be the creator I respect most because after creating a game so huge that Nintendo sniped his character for Smash and the Pope's orchestra played his music for the Goddamn Pope I VERY much think it would be within Toby's right to develop of God complex, crack and become insane, go on a bender in the streets of LA, and then have an extremely public Twitter meltdown before getting suspended. Imagining the pressure, I think I personally would do all those things, in that order, in under 6 months' time.

Instead as far as I can tell he's just like "I'm dog" and has been like "I'm dog" since Undertale launched and he's just out there somewhere with near-total anonymity just making his little haha games. Absolute King.

Learning anything about marine mammal training will make you re-evaluate so much of your relationship with your own pets. There is so much force involved in the way we handle domestic animals. Most of it isn’t even intentional, it just stems from impatience. I’m guilty of it myself!

But with the exception of certain veterinary settings where the animal’s health is the immediate priority, why is it so important to us that animals do exactly what we want exactly when we want it? Why do we have to invent all these tools and contraptions to force them to behave?

When a whale swam away from a session, that was that. The trainer just waited for them to decide to come back. If they flat out refused to participate in behaviors, they still got their allotment of fish. Nothing bad happened. Not even when 20-30 people were assembled for a procedure, and the whale chose not to enter the medical pool. No big deal. Their choice and comfort were prioritized over human convenience.

It’s almost shocking to return to domestic animal medicine afterwards and watch owners use shock collars and chokers and whips to control their animals. It’s no wonder that positive reinforcement was pioneered by marine mammal trainers. When you literally can’t force an animal to do what you want, it changes your entire perspective.

I want to see that mindset extended to our domestic animals.
