@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz it's true that we're facing decreasing resources--but this has the potential to transform the types of people who *would* help, into the types of people who *need* helping

in our broken system, the most effective changes are in policy and organization--and i think those are the things we should fight for

but if we deplatform ourselves by turning everyone who could fight for these changes into people who can't even live, then i think things will get so much worse than they are now

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz this is true, but sometimes the trade-offs are also larger than people realize

guilting someone into overextending themself opens up the possibility for bad luck to literally kill them

i mean, i'll admit the best case scenario is better–but the worst case scenario is far worse than anything that i would ever want to be responsible for

that's why i disagree with encouraging people to go beyond their means

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz i don't know if i agree with this part--but mostly because not everyone can help others

everyone has a capacity for helping, and everyone has different needs--so sometimes the result of helping someone with less than you might actually end up damaging everyone more than it helps

this is especially true when you factor in things like disabilities

@mazzlerazz@yiff.life awww! really cute too..!

@ShugoWah@snouts.online
step 1) turn likes into retweets
step 2) remove likes because they're redundant for some reason

i like how i somehow developed the defensive habit of copying small, meaningless pieces of text after pasting something

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz HI AWAKE, I'M actually not gonna finish this bad post, sorry

@codl he'd probably be very good at singling opponents out

@tom well, each is a separate story

the first is like a classic DnD campaign, but it grows into a pretty elaborate story spanning multiple planes of existence, and ends up having some really fantastic production

it's a nice length too--69 episodes

after that, they do a few mini-arcs to try out different games--and finally settle on a more story based monster of the week game where they hunt down supernatural creatures while trying to keep their existence under wraps

@tom i'll admit it starts pretty slow, but the things at the beginning are important enough to start there

if you're wondering when things stop being so slow, "murder on the rockport limited" is about when things really get going! (and it gets better and better pretty consistently from that point--and becomes legit the best thing i've ever listened to!)

@sugar hee. i don't disagree

i think i mostly hung around each time more out of completion's sake than anything

@LongLevy oof, same

it's like dealing with clients--i'm not bad at it, but it's extremely stressful for me

heaven forbid i have to give a presentation to clients, yeesh :ms_confused:

@noiob @earfolds oh yeah! i got roflstomped by more than a few arch updates before i realized there was an rss feed i should be paying attention to

their design goals were for simplicity from a development perspective, which unfortunately doesn't always translate to users

pacman is extremely fast though, and their wiki is top notch

tbh, i didn't use arch for very long--but i do know a few people who like it a lot, despite its occasional update weirdness
