People on Twitter will really be like "you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, assassinating a CEO" and then not assassi- wait, I'm receiving word from NYC.

spicy take, that shooting 

Honestly, the revolutionary potential in this event is immense.

spicy take, that shooting 

I think it's excellent, actually, that the cops and media are spending so many resources and attention on tracking down the shooter.

Because they're doing an excellent job at driving a political turning point and possibly a revolution, by continuing to keep the event and its motivation in people's minds for such a long time.

I have been thinking about this ever since years ago Julie explained to me that the reason she dislikes graphical user interfaces is they feel like prisons because to a much larger extent they are an experience fully orchestrated by somebody else.

We choose or are required to engage with a person, organization, business, government. They dictate what software to use for the interaction based on what is most convenient and advantageous to them.

The notion that people choose to use computer applications because they are useful at accomplishing tasks is extremely outdated. The vast majority of software use is not voluntary.

My life would be so much easier if things worked like in The Sims. Toilet getting dirty and instantly changing from the "clean" asset to the "dirty" asset? Nice, that's a call to action I can understand.

Meanwhile in real life everything just gets slowly and continually more and more dirty and my brain completely filters it out because it "doesn't look different from yesterday"

Do you ever look at the shape of a toot and go "nah, I'm not gonna read, that it has awful vibes" before reading a single word?

OMG OMG OMG, Kinners, ich habs! Die Lösung für das Congress-Ticket-Problem! \o/

Maskenpflicht! Das wird das Interesse am Congress senken. Und zwar von den richtigen Leuten! Everyone wins! Für dieses Jahr ist es zu spät, aber nächstes Jahr vielleicht? 🥺

that shooting 

Bunch of healthcare-related companies have removed the pictures from the 'leadership' pages on their sites now.

But like, quickly hopping back to Cyberpunk and taking a really quick shot in photo mode there... I'm kind of sad they're not planning on using this engine again because they have absofuckinglutely stacked it with ray and path tracing options. I think it's the only game I've seen so far that renders the screenshot. Even a quick and dirty half assed shot looks nice in this engine.

It's a pretty inexpensive way to freeze the world and play with composition and lens options.

I also kinda miss my widescreen monitor because it was
also a way to play around with very wide compositions. But hey.

Talk about family 

"Family" as some control freaks might see it: A group of individuals that you're probably at least somewhat genetically related to that "cares" about you so long as you make yourself fit into some arbitrary pre-determined box and every action you perform reinforces their biases and fragile worldview as well as whatever "news" they recently saw on TV or other hearsay that they're desperately holding onto.

Family as it ought to be: A group of individuals that you may or may not be genetically related to but you've nonetheless settled in with who really values your well-being, wants to see you thrive, and doesn't care about making you fit into some metaphorical box.
