Today I realized that I cannot expect people on the Internet to have heard of the Geek Social Fallacies any more.
The Geek Social Fallacies are five things that geeks often believe about How Socializing Should Work, that cause a lot of conflict. I've found them to be pretty useful as a way to put a handle on certain concepts, and maybe even avoid going into bad situations.

(Looking at them in 2017, I find myself wondering how many of the GSFs the design of most social networks is running straight into...)
ooh, for the next hour the entire Avernum series is 75% off--that means you can get the originals (not the remakes (or rather, the first remakes?)) of all six games for $3.

Felthry had an interesting thought for a mathematical challenge yesterday: Come up with four statements, none of which taken alone can prove any of the others, but any two of which, taken as axioms, can prove both of the others.
I'm not as sure as it was that this is all that challenging, to someone more familiar than us with the principles of formal logic.
hot economic take
Minimum wage is a shitty basic income program that only covers people with jobs, at the expense of employers.
I’d rather we have basic income and no minimum wage. When “unemployed” doesn’t mean “starving and homeless”, it’s a valid competitor to “terrible underpaying job” and suddenly wages will correlate somewhat with suckitude of a job
There's a strange level of redundancy in the controls for Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete.
The L2 and R2 buttons turn on and off controller vibration and spell name display, neither of which is something one needs quick access to. The circle button opens the save menu directly (leading to a significant delay, since the PS1 is not quick to read its memory cards). Both the square and select buttons open the main menu, from which one can access any of these other options.
*gently leans against @Felthry and swirls its liquid form* Mrll, I'm glad to have you around. <3
