Drawing a sharp dividing line between "metaphorically" and "literally" is modernist bullshit imo.

@Azure Fair enough :)
What's your issue with Foucault?

Pol/Econ 

@Azure I am perfectly willing to think of Bentham as "probably an improvement over the norms of the time, not someone I want to use as a model."

Pol/Econ 

@Azure So I'll admit I know only a summary version of his ideas, but Utilitarianism is something as I see as a useful thing to consider as input data but a dangerous thing to treat as end-goal. A whole pile of it though is that anyone who thinks the Panopticon is a model of justice is someone I want very far away from me.

@packetcharmer@witches.town​ Hi!!! I thought I was already following you!

@green @Jssra Gosh I'm so glad that metaphor is getting as much traction as it is.

Pol/Econ 

@Azure I agree that private property is a mistake, but Bentham is someone I just have a visceral aversion to, and Foucault is probably one of my biggest influences :)

game recommendations? from Bandaza conversations 

@green The Long Dark, about surviving in the wilderness.

@Azure hoooo okay our ideological differences go deeper than I realized.

That's okay.

Hmm, appear to have set off the smoke detector even with the range hood running on low.

I think our alarm is just really overzealous tbh. There wasn't even any smoke.

Hm, I wonder if an emoji of the pleiades would actually look any good.

Problem with setting my locale to "awoo": want to say "boop!" aloud every time someone boops my snoot (favs) on here.

(this is not actually a problem)
