@Dee I don't know, it's tasted off for quite a few years already

Ecology without class struggle is just gardening - Chico Mendes

And lawful good, when they inevitably fail to handle chaotic evil, throw a wobbly if anyone else tries anything to fight chaotic evil, because by their yardstick, if you don't follow the rules, you're evil.
Lawful good will side with lawful evil before they side with chaotic good.

Thinking about how chaotic good is objectively the best real life alignment and how lawful evil is obviously the worst.

pain scale 

@julialuna@chaos.social So I have a very high pain sensitivity, and levels 1-3 just straight up do not exist for me... :/

"Calling someone a piece of shit for expressing an opinion is a little harsh, don't you think?"

Look, if your opinion is that a movie is bad or the color red is a poor clothing choice or that tuna fish is yucky, yeah, that'd be harsh.

If your opinion is that LGBTQ+ people are lesser people who should never be seen in the world, piece of shit is the polite end of the scale and you can fucking take it as such or I'll drop the filter.

@EU_Commission These claims go entirely against the consensus in the field.

The projected growth in AI, blockchain, IoT will lead to a massive rise in emissions, not a reduction. And contrary to your claim, none of these technologies is essential in reducing emissions.

Quantum Computing is unlikely to be mainstream by 2050 and has currently no promise of energy efficiency. There are much more promising compute technologies. Space-based services cause emissions in the upper atmosphere which leads to additional warming of those layers, making global warming worse.

Please check with experts before posting things like this.(fwiw, I am an expert in low-carbon and sustainable computing so green & digital transition is my area)

@vultureculture@toot.site I have, in fact, been accused of this just today

"This page looks better in our app."
It's funny how some sites try to present their failures as a good thing.

Talked to a lady who works for the tax authority yesterday. Based on her job experience, her take on the welfare state is something like this:
"Of course there will always be freeloaders. So what?! This is about dignity. Everyone has a right to a good life and to be supported when they're struggling. If you want that, you've got to live with the freeloaders. Leave them be. That's the price you pay for a society where everyone is taken care of. It's not like they're doing any damage in the big picture - I've run those numbers more than once. You'll always get more out of it for society at large when you're incentivising good performance than when you're punishing people."

I'm looking for examples of written institutional commitments to an LGBTI+ inclusive workplace, ideally in the research or higher education sectors.

Also ideally some that go beyond "we promise we'll obey the law".

Do you know of such examples? Boosts ok

Also maybe I should create a lewd account at some point

Some reasons:
- Much safer against chipped teeth
- Doesn't put pressure against palate
- Adjustable instead of fixed-size
- You actually get the full opening diameter, because your teeth rest *on* it, instead of *in front of* it like with a ring gag
- Which also means no unintentional teeth scraping on any inserted uhhhh objects :p

(Specifically I got a Jennings-style one, 'brand' is Kiotos Bizarre)

Got my (rubberized) mouth spreader, and am now 100% convinced that people should be using these instead of ring gags, the design just makes so much more sense, also from a safety perspective

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev ah okay, so not by the cohost folks themselves then at least

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev is this about the thing I think it is
