sadly you aren't them, but if you stopped dragging your feet and scheduled that consultation you've been thinking about, you could be."
why do I feel like it's inescapable that future ads will resurrect that meme

When she came of age, she got the usual gifts. Good shoes, to take her anywhere.
Threads and needles, to mend what was torn.
A sword, to defend and punish.
Then the last thing, which wasn't a gift.
"What will you do?" they asked.
"What I want," she said.
The last thing was taken.

@anthracite Height makes such a huge difference in ergonomics.
re: rambling about the ergonomics of my desk and possible changes to that
@anthracite I love my split keyboard for typing. It takes a little bit to get used to but after a while I've found it made me a lot more flexible about keyboards in general. Plus they are much more comfortable.
On that note, I'm once again reminded I really need to replace my desk with something lower in my home office. Working from home for a year has made my assorted hand/wrist/tendon problems worse and it is almost entirely because my home desk-chair set up is all wrong. :X
re: stonks pol, Babylon 5 shitposting
@Oneironott It is perhaps one of my favorite things from B5... That and "And the Rock Cried out, No Hiding Place" scene with Refa..

I appreciate how much this is REALLY tearing the mask off Rich Fuckers, who are now more or less forced to either Put Up With This or admit that they want The Poors to shut up and pay them.
and we've how effective it can be to tear the masks off those with power. The clearer the evil is, the easier it will be for folks far less aware than I to Get It.
@mawr I hate that so much...
systemic racism thought debris
You probably have an unexamined, or at least underexamined, belief that there exists a correlation between a person’s appearance and their life experience and skills so strong that you can and should make predictions from it.
In one sense, it seems reasonable to conclude that the tall white man in a suit and the short, obese Black woman in a T-shirt have different lives. But in another, it’s a window for very pervasive racial bias - among every other form of bias you can fuel with visual observation (age bias, body-intactness bias, economic class bias...). Your brain isn’t good at ignoring information right in front of it when it’s learning patterns (false beliefs about learning patterns and getting better results as you learn are exactly why slot machines are addictive), so no matter how racist you think you aren’t, you almost certainly have racist beliefs when you make assumptions about people from their appearance.
To a limited extent, people choose how they want to present themselves from their attire choices. But the choices available, and the way they look on their body, are out of their control. Noticing what people want to say about themselves is important; doing so without reifying implicit racist beliefs is also important and also profoundly difficult.
re: musing about dragon appreciation
@Oneironott This is a very common thread
@IrisKalmia you should
"Get me the manager! I demand to know why I am in Hell!" the soul shouted.
The fallen angel sighed. "We rebelled against God."
"That's no reason to punish me!"
"You do not understand. You were not sent here to be punished by us. You were sent here as punishment to us."

@mawr This is pretty much always the case in our home games. Institutionalized, hard coded "badness" is racist as fuck.
Also very glad Paizo moved way from the term "race" in PF2 to Ancestry. Makes a lot more sense with how the game handles it and is waaaay less creepy.
Shape and form may vary but the pattern of information remains consistent across most known platforms and vessels. Accounting for unknown hosts remains irksome.
