Doesn't mean that there are never problems or conflicts of course, but it does mean that we have the tools to deal with them in a constructive manner - like a 'voting sheet' of sorts for what's for dinner, and a sheet to claim and track chores being done, as well as constructive house meetings when issues need to be discussed
Just realized today that I have, sort of accidentally, achieved the dream of "living in a peaceful indescribable polycule of queer neurospicy folks"... and I didn't really notice until now

Dear authors, and if Netflix or whoever is listening, you too:
If you're out of fun ideas for historical drama, alternate history or the like, how about this: an all-female gang in a European capital, renowned for coming up on top against male gangs and taking good care of their members, and one which may have endured for generations. You don't even need to invent most of it if you don't want to. This gang really existed and they were known as the 40 thieves or the 40 elephants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forty_Elephants
Please write something in this setting. Please!
Why are the battery controllers in my Thinkpad such absolute garbage...?

Can anyone recommend small independent sources of information/news, either about tech, world facts, or both, that are in a similar ballpark as kottke and 404media, but they're not US-centric?
Anything interesting in Europe or elsewhere?

Stoppen zeg, met politici 'onnozel' of 'naief' noemen. Jemig, echt, dat zijn ze niet. Dat maakt het juist zo erg.

The greater point being made here was that voting is not synonymous with or inevitable in democracy, and in fact majoritarian (voting) democracy is an anomalous institution that purports to be a democracy while imposing coercive control backed by violence, unlike democracies by consensus like the Iroquois Confederation or Berbers that Western scholars refuse to call democracies. Per Graeber:
"Majority democracy, we might say, can only emerge when two factors coincide:
"a feeling that people should have equal say in making group decisions, and
"a coercive apparatus capable of enforcing those decisions.
"For most of human history, it has been extremely unusual to have both at the same time. Where egalitarian societies exist, it is also usually considered wrong to impose systematic coercion. Where a machinery of coercion did exist, it did not even occur to those wielding it that they were enforcing any sort of popular will."
