@FreyaManibrandr Diversity is the absolute bane of colonialism, is what I'm trying to say.

@FreyaManibrandr Agreed. And the caste system was also implemented by white invaders.

It's like, these people have resources and education, but don't see the benefit of either. Paid pennies on the dollar for the same work white people do and basically strip mined for eons.

And yet there's so much beautiful culture people don't appreciate. The dancing. Things like Holi. Even the food is approached as an "exotic."

like, we have an old cot in our house at the moment. it's from the fifties and is still solid. it looks out-of-date but a new coat of paint and some freshening up and it'll be good as new. my sisters friends who have had babies can't keep their cots because by the time the baby is ready to move to a "proper" bed, it's absolutely fucking knackered.

i don't think it's really fair that consumers get the blame for "disposability culture" or "throwaway culture" or whatever you want to call it when most stuff is made as cheaply as possible and absolutely *not* built to be easily repaired.

ah yes, the jank of srb2

there's a secret path behind this water fall that you're supposed to spin-dash into

problem: spin dashing on the adjacent wall also works????

"Requiring someone whose PGPs are situational to state definitive PGPs in front of a wider group than they are comfortable with only worsens the aforementioned lose-lose situation. Some people may not want to share their true PGPs with a crowd of people they don’t know yet, but would also like to avoid the dysphoria of misgendering themselves in their introduction."

Harvard Crimson Editorial:

"For those who are closeted with respect to gender identity, mandatory PGPs (Preferred Gender Pronouns) can force people into an uncomfortable lose-lose of either outing themselves before they’re ready or lying and feeling incredibly dysphoric. And while withholding PGPs can lead to others unintentionally misgendering you, self-inflicted dysphoria is a whole other beast, which, depending on the person, may be more painful than being misgendered."

“I created a free speech zone and it turned into a toxic stew of nazi propaganda” is shaping up to be the new “I presented as a woman online and got harassed and condescended to” as a discovery surprising only to white cis centrist men.

"We must listen to Indigenous wisdom and not interpret (colonize) it with the whitegaze. We tackle the hyper-popularized Malsow's Hierarchy of Needs and why we need to unlearn the individualism it promotes.

Is fiction writing sharing our life experiences in an evocative way as to bring out empathy through perspective?

Or is it explorative, where we play out pieces of ourselves that we cannot in reality for one reason or another?

Perhaps it is both....

@monorail Apache OpenOffice is basically dead. Not a single major release since 2014, taking months to release a security update (with existing patch!),...

All those volunteers they mentioned? Basically don't exist, unless they are counting pre-Apache times.

Help. I'm trying to figure out where the true hate and corruption is coming from this is hard.
