dream logging, full on Nazi edition
Had a very long dream with multiple interwoven threads from the past and present. Mostly they focused around an event from an unspecified war and ethnic cleansing. There was even a nice scene at the end where the former Nazi sat down with his grandchild to talk about how the things people think are necessary at the time are often actually the wrong thing to be doing, and how he should have been a better person when he was younger.

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,
"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes
I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."
Me: so uh, couple of questions about character design, do uh, wheels? Exist in D&D?
DM: yes
Me: and um, physical combat?
DM: yes, obviously
Me: one last thing, do boots exist?
Dm: yes
Me: okay so that's all the conponents of roller derby, here is a roller derby elf.

"Surprise!"
"Is that..? OH MY COD IT'S A WATERPROOF E-BOOK!"
"I hope you like the books I loaded on there for you..."
She couldn't hear me over her broad translucent fins slapping the sand & surf excitedly.
"I can finally read in bed! Oh oh I can finally join a book club!"
"Uh, I dunno if there's any beach-side ones here..."
"My girlfriend will just have to start one, then."
"I'll look into it tonight, love."
"Yay!"

food mention, mainly about introverted polyamory wishes
@aesmael A variable distance relationship where time is the axis of travel (with occasional food).
@HerraBRE You don't even need a limit on how much you can fit in your head - there's 100% a limit on how much time you have in your life to spend learning things.
Time you ask people to spend learning your software is time they could spend learning useful things, enjoying their lives, or just having a nice nap.
Bad UX literally saps your life away.
@Leucrotta How much of this is because they're represented as transgressive compared to other mammals (especially in the same locales) in the same ways that human men are expected to behave within the framework of multi-generational toxic masculinity?
