Tech bros are really friggin' problematic.
An industry that forces crunch-time slavery, is rather unstable to work for, and which for decades has been misogynist and objectified women as trophies and rewards has turned out to be a breeding ground for problematic entitled bro culture.
I really would love this to not be the case, but more and more individuals keep coming out as being toxic manipulators and abusers.
Of course, this isn't isolated to the gaming industry...

: Indigenous Terror
Treatment of native Americans for the last few generations
Thank you white people, for the systemic genocide of Native Americans.
Nb4 "what genocide?" I have these to show you
Boarding homes, forced sterilization of children, forcibly taking the children away and adopting them out to "good" white christian homes, destroying all treaties, banning languages, forced drug addictions, lack of resources, rape, murder, burning all writings, forced assimilation of children.
And more.

...or at least, the Marxist-Leninists I've run into creep me out. Maybe there's one out there somewhere with a shred of self-awareness?

Marxist-Leninists creep me out.
Also, the guy should realise that Git can handle multiple changes in one commit, yes?
Unless there's another reason for doing so.
Abolish the SCP foundation.
I think one of the ultimate acts of kindness is to buy a batch of broken items, repair them, and then give them away for free.

the fact that as a civilization we struggle just to have public clean water supplies while nearly everyone has access to a computer you can put in your pocket is pretty fucked up

tired: your anxiety about political contexts is a personal problem. nobody feels like this but you. stop worrying about it.
wired: we spend so much time arguing with people who refuse to examine their political context, whose ability to refuse is itself a kind of political power, that it’s hardly any wonder we haven’t the energy left over to advance the good things between us, to fight the good fight for that humane future-present that we all know in our hearts.
I've mentioned about MechWarrior, but also TTRPGs and Computer RPGs are my thing, too.

a note on keeping up with abuse or harassment allegations on here
It's hard to make evidence based judgment calls to mute/block/unfollow people when you're operating on hearsay, receipts are hard/impossible to track down due to (intentionally) useless search, the culture opposes screenshots and you're not active in any sub-communities or group chats. While it's sort of the job of mods to be aware of these things, let's be patient with the rest of people when they're not up to date with the latest goings on.

@I_am_journei The people starting the fires wouldn't be stopped by red meat being less popular; they'd continue with their intended investment and simply drive the social consciousness towards appreciating red meat above all other foods.
Y'know, like how they already did.

good morning, viable solutions to the current political situation must recognize that no single problem exists in a vacuum and your approach to any given problem must examine all the angles of oppression that affect that problem in the first place, especially in relation to how vectors of oppression affect PoC and indigenous people

✌️ echo chambers ✌️
why is it that the guys who say "you should get out of your echo chamber so it doesn't stunt your growth as a person" always wanna push some Jordan Peterson and/or NN shit at you
oh wait i know 
Lolicon mention, Discord
I need some good discord places that don't accept fascism or any oppression. A few places in the past even accepted lolicon, bleugh!
Tech babbling
I'm starting to migrate from Devuan to Artix Linux, since there is a possibility that Debian might cut off support for SysVinit completely. Not right now, but..I'm not a fan of taking chances.
Plus you have a choice of two init systems, OpenRC and Runit.
I know, I know, Gentoo has that and..systemd, but I would like to avoid that as much as I can. >.>
You know, if XBMC can change name to Kodi without calling everyone names, why can't that image program?

Bigotry isn't ok just because it's directed at a horrible person. Be careful about who you're hurting in the process

Broke: Fuck left unity
Woke: Fuck *sacred* left unity that puts an abstract over real concerns and dismisses conflicts that are necessary to address to build authentic left unity
