I have questions...
* Does it come with a tool for converting my old analog air?
* Will it fry all of my air, or just the air I've digitized?
* Does it use DRM so I can only use their brand of air?
* Has it been tested to make sure it won't install a rootkit that gives it control of *all* the air?
* (most important) Can it be gendered? (I need a pink version that's safe for my daughter to use. I'm sure you understand.)

Mister Maslow
Bring me Esteem
Give me self-respect
Like they've never seen
Help me to turn, a new chapter over
And show them that my doormat days are over!
Mister Maslow? ("Yesssss?")
Please hear these sighs
I beg you, help me, self-actualize
Does that contradict theory?
Mister Maslow, bring me Esteem!

autism awareness, autism acceptance, anti-autism (boost with CW)
From @maples in https://preciouslittle.life/@maples/101855105375425273

hey, its autism awareness day! here are some things you need to know about it:
- awareness doesn't mean acceptance
- many people are aware of autism and refuse to acknowledge us as equal people
- the wear blue campaign is headed by a charity that sees autistic people as a burden
- don't celebrate autism awareness day
- instead celebrate autism acceptance day and wear red https://www.autismacceptancemonth.com
Based on an idea I had last night.
Description: An animated gif (very slow animation, no flicker) shwowing a (mocked up) difficulty selection screen from a video game.
It cycles through "Medium", "Hard", "Impossible", "Skip combat" and "Easy", while the description box to the right says "Play the game as it was meant to be played.", no matter which difficulty is selected.
Original file (not ugly-compressed): https://f.d9.lv/difficulty.gif
Patreon (?)
1. Patreon screws up and betrays everyone's trust, people abandon it in droves.
2. Patreon rolls it back and promises they won't do it again. Some people fall for this and return.
3. Patreon doubles down on the screw-up with an even more dubious promise that if folks join now they might not get screwed later.
4. Suddenly everyone's tripping over their own tails to take the bait early.
I ask: How does this make any sense? What bit of logic am I just not seeing here?
Medical industry (-) and sarcasm (+++++)
I guess I should be happy they're paying for my TMS—
Wait, no. I'm not gonna praise an exploitative system just for getting some things right. They're still capitalist leeches.

I'm really glad I have Kaiser Permanente medical insurance, 'cause otherwise I'd be paying so much more for my meds!
They're only four times more expensive through your pharmacy than anywhere else I've ever gotten them from. What a savings! I feel healthier already!
