Watching Twitter leftists/queers getting their accounts un-suspended by claiming they were "targeted by woke cancel culture for their right-wing beliefs" is hilarious to watch, but also a *really* good reminder of who gets a free pass on Twitter and who doesn't, and I really hope more people come to realize this and form community elsewhere. If it's willing to give a free pass just for *pretending* to be a right-wing chud, imagine what it's willing to actually let the chuds themselves get away with.

a big part of why i use actual physical bound paper to manage my life tasks is that no app designer can decide it's profitable to turn it into an attention gauntlet

i'm coining the term "attention gauntlets" to explain why my email inbox and similar digital environments are so unmanageable for me.

#solarpunk #gamedesign idea:

Survival game where you learn to be a part of an ecosystem and slowly abandon your unsustainable "tech tree" replacing it with sustainable, local solutions.

---

A lot of games are trying to replicate very expansionist core loops, be it Minecraft's, Factorio's and so on, which see the player as a force acting on the environment / ecosystem, not working together with it.

Why not change it?

Coders - sorry, but especially men - please try to be more conscious of how you're phrasing things when in conversations about how easy or difficult concepts are, to people who either don't code or are brand new.

Phrases like, "I don't see why that's difficult to understand," or "that's just obvious," immediately (and often completely) knock down the courage of the person asking for help (or even someone just listening to your conversation).

PSA: Big strike next #Monday in #Germany. There will be NO long distance trains riding. Frankfurt airport (and others too, I am quite sure) will NOT be handling passenger flights. Show some solidarity with the workers and begrudgingly accept this is happening and it is happening for the right reasons. #kthxbai

How about a vegan restaurant where fake meat is presented as mythical monsters. So instead of like "Oh it's pretty close to beef I guess" reactions, you can just claim it is dragon meat and tastes exactly like dragon. I feel like kids would love this.

I once had the unique displeasure of seeing Paul Graham give the worst keynote ever, where his thesis was that big world shattering ideas are like hot women and that the audience was all just impotent little nerd boys who wouldn't know what to do to a hot woman if they were alone together. Then he laid out his oh so big ideas that the audience was simply too cowardly to handle, which I shit you not were things like "replace email" and "make an app so he doesn't have to go to the doctor".

I've heard from some, elected officials especially, that Cop City is going to be built, so there's no reason to keep putting up a fight.

Let me remind you: the Atlanta Police Foundation said Cop City would open in 2023. But here we are, and construction hasn't even started.
