Something that just occurred to me: a lot of people identify with and cheer on the protagonist in movies who knowingly takes a difficult decision at great cost to themselves or even others, a potentially destructive or violent one, which they know must be taken for the greater good.
And yet, many of these same people will immediately condemn radical direct actions undertaken by activists under exactly these circumstances, where they only see the outcome and not the process of careful deliberation and consideration that went into it.
medical, neutral-ish, caffeine (2)
(It drops it by approximately 10/5, to be more specific)
medical, neutral-ish, caffeine
You might know that the right amount of caffeine helps as a focus aid when you have ADHD...
But what if I told you that that amount of caffeine, for me, also consistently drops my blood pressure into a healthy range, when it would otherwise be too high due to my kidney disease?
request for information, abuse allegations
Does anyone know more about the history of Chris Boden, AKA Physicsduck on Youtube, formerly involved with the Geek Group?
There are various stories floating around on Reddit about them, enough to raise serious questions, but at the same time it's all mired in ableist commentary and it feels like the story is more complex than it seems on the surface.

gun mention
@paintedsky@mastodon.gamedev.place I'm reminded of that interview someone did with... I think a writer from maybe the Sopranos? And the interviewer asked if the writer was interested in an LLM, and he was like "fuck no", and then the interviewer pressed a little more and was like, "if you were stuck on how to end a scene, you wouldn't consider asking ChatGPT for ten ways to end this scene?" and the writer responded "I would rather put a gun in my mouth and pull the trigger"
and I think about that, a lot, and how basically while obviously he was exaggerating, I do think that level of vitriol is appropriate. We're burning down forests for fucking nothing. Complete trash.

every time I see someone online mention a new movie they like my first thought is no longer "aww cool someone liked a movie, maybe I should go see it" it's instead "wicked, looks like WB paid for some bots to shill their new movie in the comments, luckily *I'm not falling for it!*"
It's bleak out there folks.

Why is gender even listed on ID documents anyway? The only way to check that is to grossly violate someone's right to privacy and bodily autonomy.
It's as utterly pointless to list as someone's outfit.

physical health for transfems
If you have long COVID, it turns out that the effects on transfeminine HRT aren't understood basically at all. Go get your levels checked if you haven't recently; just did mine and they were way the fuck off for no apparent reason.

"Would you prefer if sites were funded by ads instead of paywalls?"
No Mr. Bond, I'd prefer those sites to die.

Just saw a "Tim Walz is one of the helpers Mr. Rogers promised us" post
and I must once again emphasize that Mr. Rogers said that to children. Because children often can't be helpers in these big issues. He wasn't talking to adults.
Adults, you are supposed to be the helpers. Politicians will not save you. There's no one size fits all way to help your community, but you're not the ones that are supposed to be looking for the helpers.

Have you ever wondered how to drink tea in style whilst cruising through the Eurotunnel?
Well, I have answered that question for myself.

I do like systems that randomly have to come up with underground station designs, only to be used once. In Bergen, this would be Haukeland sjukehus station, which is the only underground station other than the airport station, which is more in a cutting than anything.
Quite a striking design and deeep deeeep underneath the surface (it’s underneath a hill) and connects the university hospital and other health centres with the rest of the city.
