I haven't properly announced this before, but given the light of today's events, here we go: my game engine is ✨open source✨

if you're ever feeling experimental or just want to dive in a lot of nerdy code, here it is: github.com/isadorasophia/murde

it's fun and it's free and it's dotnet 7!!! (soon to be 8)

"In [non-Western] cultures, they might have never used terms like 'plural', because they don't need to. In a culture where they have a concept of self that is not singular, they have the language they need to articulate their experiences. And if you refer to people in other societies who experience something like we do as 'just plural', you are not better than the people in psychiatry who say they 'just have DID'. You are superimposing your understanding over their own, and claiming its superiority. It is the same bias that prioritises Western explanations and insists on looking at things through Western eyes."

[…]

"Even though I think the study of plurality is fascinating, even though we have DID and have found the psychology surrounding it to be helpful, most of us don't use those labels at all anymore. We don't want to be validated by psychiatry. We don't want there to be a rational explanation. We want to be respected as people regardless."

I found some pouch lipo batteries in a project box I haven't touched since before the pandemic. One was looking a bit inflated so it's gonna go to the recycling center with my 3S. But the other looks fine. However, it's charged at 3.8V, which has me worried considering it's a 3.7V battery. Should I recycle that one too?

the absolute gall they have when they say you need a specialized doctor called an endocrinologist to help you transition because a gp couldn’t possibly know about all of that, and then the endocrinologist literally doesn’t know a single true fact about anything and doesn’t care to learn

Bicycle wheel design is way more complicated than I'd ever expect (I never gave it a thought tbh)

medical stuff 

I've been suspecting i have some form or another of EDS for some time now, I tick most of the boxes of the diag sheets including bad wound healing

I started electrolysis sessions last month, the first one was already pretty bad but for the second one (last week) I reacted so badly I ended up in emergency care

so I'm curious if people who have EDS have similar experiences or if it's something else

Hey so this is probably a really niche and maybe weird question but are there people on here with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (or other similar ailments) who also get hair removal treatment by electrolysis? How is it going for you?

boosts very welcome

(Exception: they can shuffle hours to other weeks to make up the weekly contracted amount of hours. As long as it works out to the correct average in the end. But as we've found out, it is by no means guaranteed that that actually happens.)

Well, today was mostly spent talking in Dangerous Professional to the manager of the local McDonald's, to get a friend of mine the salary they are entitled to. Things set in motion, and now we wait.

Speaking of which, if you work for McDonald's in the Netherlands and are on a part-time or full-time contract, check your pay slip. They *should* be paying you for your contract hours plus overtime, *not* for the clocked-in hours. But according to the local manager they always calculate by clocked-in hours (as per head office policy), which is illegal.

Ik vind het wel bijzonder hoe Albert Heijn nog steeds heel hard probeert te adverteren met "wij als theekenners" alsof ze de thee zelf produceren, terwijl ze duidelijk exact dezelfde leverancier hebben als Lidl

Oh hey, even the HN crowd seems to have finally caught onto the fact that the people controlling the US government are fascists. Or some of them have, anyway

they should make an internet that's usable on a quad core 1.5 ghz processor with only 4 gigs of ram without grinding the entire system to a halt

you know when i was a teen a 1.5 ghz 4 core cpu with 4 GiB of ram would have been an absolute monster of a computer. the rpi's gpu would still have been complete dog shit by our standards back then though. i've never seen a computer struggle to run kobo deluxe before

If you roll your eyes at people asking you not to use ableist slurs and don't really get what the big deal is about 'whatever ableism is' anyway and think we're all just over-sensitive or some shit and tend to skip past threads talking about why you shouldn't be ableist, yeah this one's for you. Read up, fucker.
