Can we at least make offices into VR so I don't have to put on pants in the morning?

@green Seattle Times estimated the original rally as “a dozen” people. By their own reporting, there are literally more student groups planning counter-protests than there were people in the original rally

@KawaSeadrake Broadly, yes. I’m uncomfortable with plans I’m hearing folks make regarding attempting to physically prevent people from voluntarily attending the original rally or physically interfere with it taking place, which is what prompted me here. But I am totally 100% on board with loud and passionate protests against it.

I am very much in favor of free speech, even that which I vehemently disagree with, because it drags idiocy out into the open. I am all in favor for protesting offensively bad and dehumanizing ideas. I am completely against violent means of spreading a message, regardless of how much I agree with the message, and I am completely against trying to "de-platform" someone scheduled to speak at a publicly-funded Federal facility because I am of the opinion that the First Amendment matters.
@Finfell@dragon.style can we trade? I've had too many where I can remember mine.
Imagine how much energy we could save if we invented light bulbs that only emitted photons that someone would meaningfully notice

"conspiracy theories"
the fact that even suggesting the possibility of state involvement means that you have to be careful not to look like a "conspiracy theorist" suggests that there is a particular role the term plays in discourse
cointelpro is something the fbi *admitted* to and liberals still dismiss it as a conspiracy theory
A lot of TV is very different when you think of it as a series of avant-garde music videos for its own soundtrack
@Jacel That almost sounds like a a disappointingly easy time. Hee. Congratulations on a thorough success!

@Finfell@dragon.style Imagine how much easier internal medicine would be if humans had panels of subsystem status lights.
@JulieSqveakaroo yikes. I hope you can find a way to rest your back soon.
@JulieSqveakaroo Unless you specifically injured yourself somehow, that sounds an awful lot like a heart attack. Get it checked out immediately.
Confession: I am very pro-launching-cars-unnecessarily-into-space. We need freight launching tech to colonize another planet, we should never use technology for the first time on something we can’t afford to lose, but if it has no sentimental value, will the researchers be adequately emotionally invested into “just another test”? Eventually there is the “landmark test”: the first test that is truly 100% intended to succeed

The "predictive keyboard memes" keep showing me that my phone keyboards have learned an appalling amount of judgmental, negative self-training and groveling apologies for perceived flaw

anxious introvert frustrations
where have all, the forums gone
long time passing~
no seriously what the fuck happened do introverts no longer exist anymore?
do people no longer lurk before posting?
do communities REALLY need to know every single time someone new arrives so as to shower them with greetings?
(yes I realize the hypocrisy of saying this while having a discord server of my own - there's all of nine people there, though, so my point is "hush, aunt lexi's ranting again")
