Dismantle capitalism! Establish gay space communism with blackjack and sex workers that are paid fairly and treated with respect!

Friendly reminder that you should never expect someone to pay for your food on a first date regardless of gender unless you explicitly agreed on that beforehand

what is especially frustrating is that we literally, across languages and cultures, have this saying that the least trustworthy people are politicians
so why do people just regurgitate politicians' words like they're fact!?
Sven Slootweg (soft-deprecated)

the place where this becomes extra relevant is in things like press releases, where people take folks' words for things way more often since there's this inherent trust to something being said in person, which, does not actually exist
it often manifests in this sort of "clearly the (president/politician/corporate executive) wouldn't tell an obvious lie" and uh,
yes, they would actually, and rather often too

honestly the biggest failing of modern society is convincing people that the internet is where people lie
people lie in real life, actually. and way more often, since on the internet there are way more people to see and scrutinise your words

Like, "is it worth the overhead to do community governance for this project" is a legitimate point of discussion, but also when that discussion *has already been had and concluded* years ago, and you don't even make an attempt to improve the governance process...
subtooty grumbling
"Community governance costs energy, so let's just make top-down decisions instead!"
I swear to $deity...

OpenCola reminds me of the work I did making my own Club Mate clone, including a delicious sugar free Club Mate clone.
The one thing I never cracked was Club Mate Winter Edition.
Maybe this is worth turning into a project?
ponderings about trauma and parenting
I can't help but wonder whether the widespread cycle of "trauma and abuse passed down through the generations" might have something to do with our collective insistence that children be raised by exactly one (1) set of parents, who generally have not yet learned to process their own trauma and receive no outside support
probably a spicy take in some circles
Poverty can be a form of disability; it can significantly impair your executive functioning, and make you literally unable to complete certain tasks
Fuck you, #Adobe, and the "open-use" you rode in on, for expecting bloggers to do your unpaid(!) advertising for you, and trying to dress it up as a courtesy
The internet works a lot better when you actually plug the fiber back into the modem

I went to my local coffee shop/roaster this morning and saw that they had a Sumatra available on pour-over, so I went ahead and got that because it's been a while since I've had beans from Indonesia (I grew up in Indonesia)
when I got home, I got an email from the roaster promoting these same beans, and apparently the local place was working with my old high school roommate to source the beans??

re: software design error
Recent offenders (not exhaustive):
- GraphQL
- Redux Toolkit
software design error
Every single data fetching library seems to make the exact same mistake:
- Realize that nested data retrieval can be reliably decomposed into multiple retrieval calls
- Settle on this approach in the library design and build around all the tools around it
- "Oh right, we need support for mutations too"
- Try to extend the existing fetching model with a 'mutation mode'
- Fail to realize that nested mutations *do not* decompose into multiple mutation calls... and end up with a completely bolted-on mutation API
Is this like, the data fetching API design equivalent of "forgetting to put on the heatshrink before soldering the connector every time", or something?
