something I never considered before: in countries with regular earthquakes you have to over-rate your lifting straps and chains on cranes so that earthquake shocks don't cause a failure mid-lift.

One of my problems is that "marketing" is the same term used for Unilver to trick billions of people into thinking they're ugly without buying their chemicals, as it is used for me trying to find those few people who would truly enjoy my books.
The evil of the former makes it really hard for me to do the latter.

Considering making "how are conflicts in the community handled?" my new initial screening question when evaluating new tech and projects, instead of anything about the tech itself

I love it when people say shit like "In my culture, food is very important" or "Where I come from, children are a central part of life". Please drop by some time and pick up your medal for having a culture with such unique traits

Afijn, dit soort gedrag vanuit partijen is waarom ik het totaal niet serieus kan nemen als mensen zeggen dat grassroots bewegingen samen 'moeten' werken met politieke partijen om iets te bereiken. En al helemaal niet als die partijen zelf roepen om 'linkse eenheid' e.d.
Want in de praktijk betekent dat vooral dat iedereen geacht wordt zich aan te passen aan de koers van de partij. Dat is geen samenwerking, dat is ondergeschiktheid. Een samenwerking werkt twee kanten op, en daar staan partijen duidelijk niet voor open.

Om het even toe te lichten voor de mensen die er niet zo bekend mee zijn: "solidariteit" gaat er voornamelijk om dat je elkaar helpt *buiten* je gebruikelijke sociale kringen.
Dat mensen die elkaar misschien niet zo goed kennen, elkaar toch ondersteunen. Dat organisaties met een andere koers en andere waarden, toch gedeelde doelen vinden waarop ze elkaar kunnen helpen.
Niets van dat alles is hier van toepassing. Als je je partij combineert met een enkele gedeelde koers en besluitvorming, dan ben je nog steeds alleen maar aan het 'ondersteunen' binnen je eigen kringen. Dat is nauwelijks solidariteit te noemen.

En dit moet dan doorgaan voor een spicy take binnen de contreien van GL/PvdA. De partij die maar door blijft praten over 'solidariteit' en, afgaande op hun meest recente schrijfsels, een partijcombinatie ziet als de implementatie daarvan...
Die hebben het dus echt niet begrepen.

Dit artikel laat mooi zien wat mijn probleem is met de gevestigde 'linkse' politiek, maar niet helemaal op de manier die de auteur bedoelt: https://www.wetenschappelijkbureaugroenlinks.nl/onderzoek/linkse-samenwerking/een-nieuwe-linkse-beweging-verdient-nieuwe-waarden-en-woorden
Als je het artikel aandachtig doorleest, wat ontbreekt er dan? Wat wordt nergens genoemd, en op sommige plaatsen (zoals de politieke veranderingen rondom klimaat) zelfs schijnbaar bewust buiten frame gehouden?
Juist ja: alles dat er bestaat buiten de electorale politiek. De protestbewegingen, de participatieve organisaties, alles dat er niet uit ziet als een verkiesbare politieke partij.
Het hele artikel is geschreven alsof al die dingen simpelweg niet bestaan, en geen enkele rol spelen in de politieke wind in Nederland.
Alsof de partij het enige is dat telt.

fash furs, 2gryph
i am not even angry or sad at this point. i am just looking down on so many furries for trying so hard to please others instead of being themselves. "no we are not perverts, we are not interested in sex, we are not into pride, we are not into drama, we are not political, we don't wanna be animals, please please please please don't hate us"
just losers. most furries are losers and that's the truth. they're like footballs being kicked around by corpo liberals and rightwing bigots

i am genuinely burnt out and sick of furry spaces because they try so hard to pander to bigots and normies and indulge in corpo consumerism that furry culture becomes just a costume
it's like the whole thing with "clean goths" and "right-wing punks"
kinda wanna echo Steve Ignorant of Crass and just say that furry is dead. because it kinda is.
Ik tel welgeteld 3 serieuze attracties op de lijst, en allemaal standaard spul
Nou, zo te zien wordt de kermis in Rosmalen weer helemaal niks dit jaar...

Little NASA comparison from the first stage of the Artemis test.
- Only one test
- Successful launch and orbit
- Established a lunar transfer trajectory (went to THE MOON)
- Deployed a full sized human-rated capsule
- It did a flyby of the moon
- It re-injected itself in a return trajectory
- The capsule returned to Earth
- Re-entered the atmosphere, landed safely.
A flawless, multi stage, full test in a perfectly executed mission by NASA.
But, government is inefficient, etc.
