Can you survive?
Let us consider a hypothetical scenario where the world has come to an end, not due to a catastrophic event such as a meteorite impact or a zombie invasion, but rather because people had built interstellar ships and left Earth out of boredom. However, a significant number of individuals remained on the planet, but they overslept and missed the last ship's departure, leaving them stranded in a world without infrastructure, electricity, economy, or internet. The question arises as to how these individuals would behave and survive in such a desolate world. To answer this question, we can turn to video games, where a company beta tested a game that would be deleted after 11 weeks. The developers analyzed the gameplay to understand how people would act in real-life situations if the apocalypse were to happen in a few weeks. Interestingly, there was no chaos in the virtual world, and the players treated each other with respect. This research into the simulation of the end of the world can help scientists and sociologists better understand human actions during emergencies and global disasters.
Jazz BrinsonPublished 9 months ago in LifehackSubtle Forms of Discrimination and Prejudice are All Too Real
I need to start by emphasizing that I absolutely love living as an expat in Baja, California, Mexico. I love it so much in fact that I invested a ton of time, energy, and money into becoming an official resident of the country. I feel like it is my second home. The vast majority of the Mexicans I have encountered and continue to encounter on a daily basis are wonderful people and ninety-nine percent of my interactions with them on a daily basis have been positive experiences. They have been nothing but respectful, kind, caring, and helpful, and have treated me exactly as they would a fellow Mexican. Yet, there are absolutely a tiny minority of people that either out of fear, prejudice, plain old hatred, or some combination of all of the above, have not. The types of discrimination and prejudice I have experienced are not overt or easily visible. There are no American flag burnings, or anti-American rallies, or no US citizens allowed zones, or anything that obvious to suggest such sentiment exists anywhere in the region where I live. In actuality, it is generally quite the opposite. Most Mexicans truly, genuinely like US citizens and want them to visit and even live in their country. They recognize our shared borders, shared values, and shared economic interests. The few that do not, practice a form of discrimination that is as subtle as it is pernicious. It is so subtle that it is barely noticeable. So subtle, in fact, that it is easy to question the reality of it, and many do. But I can tell you from personal experience it does exist, and it is real, and it takes many forms. From certain gas stations where paying for 30L never seems to quite fill your 30L tank, to resteraunts that bring tap water to your table when everyone else (Mexican) in the place gets bottled water, to the just barely audible whispers of "stupid gringo" heard after ordering coffee at a local cafe, to the sudden and baffling inability to understand basic Spanish even when you are sure what you said was said quite clearly, etc. and so on.
