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
Personal, Pol
I can't keep backing away whenever I end up being sad..I just need to push through, a lot of people depend on it.
Nazis are everywhere, and the planet is in danger.

We trust you have received the usual lecture from your local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Women, especially women of color and trans women, built the foundations of most of your digital life.
#2) Before you try to help someone with a problem, make sure they actually asked for your assistance.
#3) Others' needs are more important than your convenience.
Personal Toughts
I felt like Brexit itself has destablised reality, causing all kinds of absurd things to happen. I'm not liking it at all.
Some unreality is good, but when it's most of the time, you have no reference point!
Elon Musk Discovery, Aw man
I discovered that he developed an online finance system, X, which became PayPal.
The more I learn, the more I begin to think that it's harder to escape the dystopia of rich white cishets.
I, personally, would just post Switch screenshots manually, really.
I can convert them to PNG and make them less of a pain to download over slow connections.
Capitalism, thinking
Isn't it a bit backwards that some people value things over lives?
If a fire broke out, some people would gladly try to save things, as opposed to just..getting out of the building.
Is this what Capitalism brought upon us all?
