There's research that shows that people respond more receptively to social media accounts with more followers. I'm involved in the #SaveMills campaign both #onHere and on twitter.

twitter: @save_mills
fedi: @save_mills

It would be materially helpful to the campaign if you could please follow those accounts, even if you don't really use your account or even if you mute us.

Thank you to everyone! Boosts allowed.

I know it should be basic decency but I always feel so thankful and happy when people use the correct pronouns to talk about me. I want to thank all my friends, mutuals, anybody who have been supportive of me using neopronouns, it does mean a lot to me

Violent Language | Crypto Mining 

So looking back at the suffering I went through just to get mid tier GPU from 2016, and paying $205 for it. I can safely say that I sincerely hope that all crypto miners and GPU scalpers die of heat stroke this summer. Get fucked, you parasites.

Seven Emojis in a Trenchcoat

the discourse 

lemme maybe elaborate/make things worse

kink at pride is a bad faith argument

it is always about some hypothetical person somewhere who might be offended by some hypothetical thing crossing some hypothetical line, not an event that actually happened

if something actually did happen that made actual children uncomfortable... that's not automatic cause to stop, but it's no longer a bad faith argument

I feel we shouldn't confuse this with intergenerational culture war bs

every time I remember that FFVII is a game where:
-you join a group of ecoterrorists
-you commit ecoterrorism
-there's no both-sides-ism
-the planet is dying and you have to fix it, so you do

Okay so after 4 hours in the punishing heat, and dealing with the shop policies of not selling GPUs without the rest of the PC, I finally managed to snag a GTX 1050ti for little over 200 USD. I call it a win

Help me afford new glasses! Boosts welcome 

Hey there, I’m replacing my glasses and will need to pay 260€ for them.

This isn’t very urgent because I’ll be able to afford it either way, but some help would allow me to pay it in full once and have it have an impact on my fragile finances that would be easier to manage.

Consider helping if you can and want! But if you have more important places to put your money at please prioritize that.

Thank you!

like, even if something isn't common sense, a person who says that is trying to convince you it's how the majority thinks, rather than like, trying to convince you that the reasoning is sound and stands up to scrutiny

it's kind of funny how "common sense" seems to be held up to mean "sound, basic judgement"

but the way people use the term is way more in line with a literal interpretation of the phrase.

like, "common sense" really is just used to mean "most prevalent belief," or more to the point, "status quo"

Okay last thought before bed: virtue signaling 

I dunno where I'm going with this, it just wigs me out how effective it is.

After a certain point, you don't *really* personally know that, say, the earth is round. You're trusting what you're told on some level.

And if someone gets to that core, it reduces you to someone saying "Well Bill says it, so it must be true."

We so easily forget what proof even is. But it's about fitting plausibly among the larger contexts of everything else you know.

Okay last thought before bed: virtue signaling 

I feel like this rhetoric has a way of seeping in that goes unappreciated.

It's so common to see someone take offense to the accusation that they're virtue signaling, but taking offense in the first place means they've successfully made this personal. We know that issues go beyond us, so it doesn't matter what WE say this truth, the point is that it's a truth.

But this is an ad hominem that intends to force you to legitimize your argument

Okay last thought before bed: virtue signaling 

This is obviously bad faith arguing, but it's an especially unnerving tactic to me. It's abnormally open about the idea that motive outweighs action - that you need to be pure of heart to do good.

But as living creatures, everything is motivated, you can find a cynical reason for everything.

Questioning your intentions is good, but this gatekeeping only allows those who are 100% certain about anything, and that necessarily means narrow-mindedness
