yo wtf music is just wiggly air

CodeAnywhere sounds like something that would be handy to me but the moment I see that I have to pay >$10/mo or $84/yr for TFA - a security feature that should be standard (or even mandatory) in 2018 - I immediately say "Fuck that noise" and look elsewhere

sleep deprived take: games should have jump buttons even in the absence of any requirement to jump, because jumping alleviates the inherent stiffness and inflexibility present in the overwhelming majority of movement systems

@devurandom @KitRedgrave no discourse or discussion please

I think that's the milquetoast leftist way of doing "diversity"

we often talk about unity. what we don't talk about is how unity often leads to putting the opinions of people we "like" more over the opinions of others because listening to everyone and weighing every option is "too much work"

this can be solved by having smaller groups that all come to their own conclusions and then meshing together to make bigger decisions.

but instead, we insist we gotta do things like simplify decision-making into reductive shit like voting. "majority vote rules"

touchn't

like...there are a lot of things we see in shows like star trek where "oh well, they made this decision and everything turned out great, must be the best decision to make irl too"

except the writers of the show purposefully wrote things in a way that would make that decision look favourable. they are not displaying reality, but their imagined idea of how they'd like that situation to go. the conflict and resolution and everything in between, are fabricated.

we will never achieve a 100% perfect piece of media that is the objective guide for how we should live. so never consider any piece of media you consume to be the ultimate authority on any ideas.

at the end of the day, there are people behind that media, people that are flawed just like the rest of us. people that want their ideas to come out on top, want the audience to feel/think the way they do, and they will set up their media to achieve that.

it sucks

It was much easier, pre-technology, to rent a cabin on the shore of a cursed lake.

Used to be families could disappear, but you and your terrified community knew you could continue to appease the lake because westward expansion would continue to deliver new renters.

These days, you spend all your time politely responding to AirBnB reviews like "Thanks for the feedback about the missing children. We did mention that risk in our listing, but can offer a 10% rebooking discount for next time!"

If it sits on someone's hard drive inaccessible it's fucking useless

And having it on a billion different computers isn't really an improvement

"You don't have to live in public on the internet if you don't want to. Even if you're a public figure, or micro-famous like me. I don't follow anyone on my public Instagram account. No shade on those who follow me there, I'm glad you give me your time - but I need to be in my own space to get my shit done. You want a "hack" for handling the internet? Create private social media accounts, follow who you want and sit back and let your bespoke media channels flow to you. "
