My mom introduced me to Napster. So at this point, it would be a family tradition.

Distribution of money and power is a facet of society.

I mean, not everyone agrees what the problems are. We can’t even approach talking about solutions until we settle on the problems. And that problem seems to be getting worse.

Anyone know how the subreddit hodling for DWAC is doing? I hope they’re okay.

Yeah, the wiki is a big help, as is being aware that any item that has ‘Material’ in the list of traits when you mouse over it, can be brought to the guide, when you talk to him one of the options is ‘crafting’, and the empty blue box in that menu can have said items dropped into it for a list of all recipes using it, along with what workstation it takes.

Doesn’t seem to be on the list yet:

Terraria.

I have hundreds of hours on my steam account, and I’m pretty sure it’s actually thousands. It’s a great game, and it’s been updated so much since it released. When you could buy and hold gift copies of steam, I used to regularly buy new copies to hang on to to hand out to people; I’ve probably gotten ten people into it. Currently doing a modded master playthrough with my family and having a great time.

They’re going to get fuuuuuuuuucked.

Poor bastards.

If anyone doing an arms race wins at AGI literally everyone gets mulched, so I hope nobody who is, does.

Decent article. Hope it makes some difference.

Civil vs Criminal. Trump got a disgorgement, it’s not a fine. He’s been ordered to pay back his ill-gotten gains, that’s not the same thing as a fine. Anyhow, a civil case can’t end in jail time. That’s not how civil cases work.

Yeah, life isn’t required to offer us remotely fair choices. For me it was a pretty easy one, to get surgery, it just took me more than 20 years from making the decision to being able to act on it.

When you have that kind of situation, where you know you’re going to have regrets whichever way you go, the best you can do is steer towards the regret you’ll hate the least, and practice gratitude and mindfulness around the parts of your choice that are good. I ended up with some numbness, I think downstream of some self harm I did in my teens, and I’m not happy about that, I don’t love dilating but it’s far from the worst, I get pains sometimes, and I could focus on those things and be miserable, but I consciously focus on not feeling the damned thing anymore, on clothes fitting properly, on the pleasant sensations I do get and the way sex, for me, is better now. That kind of intentful mindfulness is a skill, that you can practice, and doing so is my top recommendation to you.

Generally people usually it as a pejorative will include “radical”, like any MF who wants people to have healthcare is out here doing kick flips and grinds.

They really failed to be the people Mr. Rogers knew they could be.

What do you mean when you say “true AI”? The question isn’t answerable as asked, because those words could mean a great many things.

It isn’t obvious to me, and I know a lot of queer people and feminists (there’s a lot of overlap, since queer people, as societal outcasts, can see matters from the outside in a way people plugged into social reality can’t).

Not every change is an improvement, but every improvement is a change.

Unpack this, please? What is that agenda? How are trans people and feminists being used to push it? What does skin deep “support” in the form of lip service have to do with it?

Tradition effectively holds no weight with me. Is the idea worthwhile? Then why does it matter what people did in the past about it? Is it bad? Then why would I do it?

I’m not hearing how trans people fit into this. You know the Nazis killed a lot of trans people and the book burnings included the research of the time, right?

It does not help that NATO loves weaponising trans people for neoliberal white power agenda.

Yeah like the other respondent I am absolutely going to request that you unpack this.
