@adeptomega Hm, an entirely different alternate track: maybe refined sugars? Might not strictly convince anyone I'm from the future, but is evidence I'm from a richer civilization.

@noiob ...good question :D

@noiob buddy i know if I click that i'll get amazon recommending related items forever.

@adeptomega That's a cool answer!

Downside of reading semi-technical works on sociology and psychology is that it seems easy for authors to become *way* too enamored with their own ideas, and it shows in the writing.

@indi @mawr "pretty sure it's not that, doc."

@mawr @indi I still giggle about that time an urgent care clinic asked if my abdominal pain might be menstrual cramps.

Switching from DuckDuckGo to StartPage as my search engine. DDG is okay but their results just aren't as good as The Goog. Startpage is basically a proxied google search. Slower, but better results and more privacy.

Aw heck yeah, gonna start a new game of Pyre on the True Nightwing difficulty setting.

I hypothesized that the game would read differently if it were harder, and now it's time to see if I was right :)

Todo today:

✔ Round 2 job interview

One of the most beautiful sunrises I've ever seen over Seattle this morning. A cloud deck lit fire from below, and all the buildings of downtown glowing reflections.

Hmm.

Bad question: "does there being so many people who identify with foxes make my identification with them less meaningful?"

Better question: "What is it about foxes that makes it so easy for humans in the cultures I'm in to identify with them?"

@noelle I'm older and wiser than I was five years ago, and hope and expect this trend to continue forever :)

@masklayer it's priced for companies, not people.

I was bad about this. *Most* people are bad about this.

Learning and internalizing nuance genuinely does take time, including exposure to different kinds of people within queer communities.

Request for trans people recently starting out:

When it comes to topics of activism and social justice, please be mindful that there's often a lot more context, history, and nuance to an issue than is immediately obvious. It's easy to be over-zealous.

For at least the first couple years, try to keep this in mind before getting shouty about topics of discourse. This is doubly true when it comes to castigating people or practice, or when you're talking to outside audiences.

My advice for trans people recently starting out:

There's a million and a half ways to deliberately expose yourself to the words and views of people who hate you. Don't.

Reading that shit doesn't make you any better informed, just more hurt and bitter.

"Dread Design" (music for the Pit of Milithe) is pretty atypical of the soundtrack generally, but gosh, those spooky synth hits give me feelings
