pol-adjacent, praxis, terminology 

Someone over on birdhellsite mentioned that they mentally replace “civility” with “obedience” to better gauge intent. Seems both accurate and useful.

Poll: Have you become more or less cautious about how you phrase things (or what you say) to friends since 2016? ( :boost_ok:

Just a theory of mine that I'm looking for some data on.

@chr I do not understand why they want to mingle these data streams, when “I am a dragon on the internet” and “I prefer siloing off work from my personal time” are not mutually exclusive profiles. They even give better results when catered to separately.

@chr The creepiest thing about tracking are the identifiers that are less obvious. Like having Google+ suggest my personal profile as “someone you may know” to my family, because of some combination of scraping, geolocation, and device login.

Which is more or less why I’ve fled those platforms.

I found out that Outer Wilds speedrunning has a category called marshmallow% where you have to roast and eat a marshmallow on every planet where it's possible

@mawr I also self-censor a lot more now in public spaces since then, though I can’t entirely disentangle that with my coping strategy from the fallings out. Not sure if I’d act the same way all other things held equal.

@mawr More. Though I’m not necessarily a good data point, given 2015 was when I fell out of my communities because of fraught issues that were, primarily, due to miscommunication.

Adjusting for that though, dropping social media for unrelated reasons counts, as does shying away from former friends that started using Pepe memes in group chats.

Breaking Bad AU where it's two trans women brewing estrogen instead because of the national (global?) shortages. The jaded elder biology teacher teaming up with a messy baby trans assistant and helping out the community who are struggling to fill their prescriptions. I'd watch it.

monster hunter, romance, spoiler-free 

Still wishing that instead of poking the monsters with rocks and sticks and explody bits, I could give them tea and romance them over dinner.

tiny mouse, ec 

Hello friend. You are really cute, but you should not be indoors with cats.

(They have since been let out into the forest, ahead of thoroughly rinsing off all the things.)
