@indi @starkatt soooooo many people came to alt.fan.dragons with "I just really like dragons and I can RP a dragon here?" and left with "yeah... I'm a dragon." we didn't have much in the way of philosophical/spiritual discussions (that I remember) out in public... it just sort of happened. repeatedly. XD

thoughts on "metaphor" 

People tend to think that something being "metaphorical" (like furry/kin identity, or mysticism stuff, or lots of other things) makes it less real.

That's kind of deeply missing the point. Our brains are *entirely* metaphorical. Our perception of the world passes through billions of years of evolutionary processing and filtering, and is only tenuously connected to a deeper fundamental truth. Approximations are all we have.

forget flying cars, I want to know when technology is going to give us the most innovative, groundbreaking, revolutionary technology in human history: effective self-cleaning litterboxes

I have tried several different kinds of self-cleaning litterboxes and they all have a common design flaw: cats

@typhlosion I suspect a lot of people were taught that too. I have a theory about--how information is handed down, why we have this inherent bias--but it's less important than the hope that humanity is maybe finally getting away from that dangerous mindset. XD

@typhlosion when I was a kid, I was told basically "anything in a nonfiction book (assuming subset of 'acceptable books') you can take as a factual source." that was kinda painful to deprogram growing up. :|

Safe space talk 

So... Safe spaces. This sort of thing has been on my mind for a long time. I remember an experience I had around a year ago with a chat server that ended up being a very bad fit for me. This server was protecting extremely vulnerable, harmed people. There were triggers relating to affection and love that needed to be carefully handled.

Safe space talk 

@BigFatFae tbh I would use the shine off a "public on this instance" privacy setting...

@Jacel (or I will come visit you or we will meet up somewhere) <3

non-topical reminder that

"X is a social construct"

and

"X is fake / bad / irrelevant / without merit"

are not equivalent statements
