@half_rat There's actually a restoration device that worked sort of like that. It has two metal balls welded together with a rod, and you would tape one of them under the skin you have left to apply gentle tension using gravity, which promotes mitosis and grows new skin cells.

@citrustwee Sorry about that. I've seen that meme and others like it floating around, and the way it makes light of genital mutilation makes me uncomfortable.
Also, the star of David on the hair tie and clothing make me think it may have started out as an antisemetic meme. I have multiple Jewish friends who are against genital cutting without consent, and one of them pointed that out to me when he saw that same image on Telegram.

genital mutilation, suicide mention 

@citrustwee I have a friend who was circumcised against his will when he was 14, as punishment when his mom found out he was gay. He has attempted suicide because of that and other abuse, and he still has nightmares about it sometimes.

Rewatching Porco Rosso 

@uint8_t@chaos.social I downloaded that a while ago, but I haven't watched it yet.

tea is the ideal beverage for meticulously preparing, and then forgetting about, leaving it to get ruined by time

One of my #RedRaspberries has revealed itself to be of the ever-bearing variety, after I got berry educated and changed my care routine. Depending on the variety and your specific climate, ever-bearing berries may make fruit for longer periods in the summer or can produce a second/fall crop. These fruiting canes began to grow in June, when the canes that grew after last winter were fruiting.

@tom My FreePBX vm does that while it boots, and it's based on CentOS

Industry, climate change, and my politics 

Industry is not incompatible with ecology- and anyone claiming they are is either a reckless capitalist looking to consume the natural world for profit, or a luddite with a very poor understanding of what actually makes current industry unsustainable.

Every product must last, and be recyclable. We also need to capture toxic and dangerous byproducts: storing them if we can't use them. And at that we should be a lot better off.

Industry, climate change, and my politics 

You start making products that last. You stop making things that will break so another can be sold, you take control and build a more durable world that lasts for human use.

Then you cut out the industry that's not needed anymore. Once you're making housing and appliances that last decades instead of years you've already made a massive leap towards sustainability.

Opinions on cities and legacy 

@Deiru@gensokyo.social @Pyretta Like in Futurama with New New York.

i love rewatching stuff after i’ve gained some new context, and the scene from ghost in the shell where togusa and the major are discussing why the major put togusa on her team is pretty great for this. “organizations or humans, what lies beyond specialization is a slow death.” has another element entirely to it now

@haskal I have a couple plastic jellybean containers with flashdrives and other things like that in them.
