another example closer to the spirit of the original conversation might be the leftist who is too preoccupied with general horror and living paycheck to paycheck to give themselves the space to grasp in fine detail what is actually going on.

and that's fine, i've done the research and i can give them a personal lesson if they're interested (and i do regularly in third spaces i haunt).

if they grasp it and step up, i'm glad; if not, then yeah unfortunately history will trample them one way or the other (re: i care more about being loud than being understood at this point)

also, i'm just leaning on a common example in the wild of "anarchists" using big tech platforms for their organizational work and data storage, not at all saying that being liberated from mainstream social media is some kind of anarchist dogwhistle (if i can use that term in a neutral sense?)

@are0h nowhere in that conversation did i say "nah there isn't systemic hatred and oppression", i literally said your average streetwalkers are 1) indoctrinated into believing evil, often by other names, is on some level necessary, and 2) more complicated than you make them out to be; and here you go making a caricature out of _me_ and putting words in my mouth? i was just trying to have a conversation and you just haaad to have the last word, and then do something like this? not everyone is going to take the same hardline position as you; i should know, i'm often in that position myself. but it doesn't give you a free pass to just be confrontational and make these kinds of accusations about people's character just because they don't 100% agree with you

@are0h @tychi it's delusion that people aren't one-dimensional? i'm often the first to argue for a systemic explanation in general, we don't disagree there; but i never said people are unaware, just that they're more complicated than what you're painting them to be, especially when it comes to the existence and nature of evil

@are0h @tychi i'm not saying anything about the system is an accident, i'm just saying your charicature of the average western streetwalker is incomplete; but yes if you'd rather not we don't have to keep talking about it ><

@jbcrawford pretty :D where is this?

@are0h @tychi some understand, many don't. part of the narrative being played out is evil hiding in plain sight, to the point it's absolved by being labelled as things that are less overtly insidious; and many people _do_ believe this. in any case, what i'm referring to in both cases are the people we are in direct contact with in day-to-day, as this is where our primary influence lies

@are0h i think what @tychi is getting at is more that the "normal" person doesn't even understand the depths of depravity and darkness that have gotten to the heart of our society.

i tend to agree with you Ro, that rehabilitating the masses shouldn't be our concern, so much as just building our communities and trying to thrive in this space parallel to the mainstream; be loud - be heard - but not necessarily worry about being understood, cause if we're too concerned with the everyday person then we go too slow and we lose our chance to make it real; if people don't get it yet, at this point they're digging their own grave more or less literally

@astraleureka ooof, yeah post offices be like that

lazy girl who should have broken main.js into modules from the beginning; it's approaching 1k lines ^^;

@astraleureka wonder if they would even care if you just pwned the thing at this point

@neauoire @_@

re: Vent, processing, introspection.

@june oof, that hits me in the feels girl D: you got this. by looking it in the face and leaning on your friends who love you, and on your true ineffable self under all this, you will find peace and hopefully also comfy expression <3

@gosha tidy up the house, make some tea or coffee, and put on some music usually ^^ one of the reasons i like working at the kava bar is at least 2 out of the 3 are taken care of for me, heheh

@neauoire whoaaaa o.o

@neauoire ohhh i love this, been a minute since i read it - thanks for bringing it back up from the depths ^^

@irisnk i was rollerblading and getting really blazed around monterey county and building a freebsd gaming rig, wasnt ready to be a teacher of children lol

@ddlyh @neauoire another thing you can do is send binary messages to your uxn instance via stdin

@clarity hallucinating hardcore rn x_x

@256k yeah i think the t420 is the "quintessential" but anything from the t400, t500, or x series should have excellent hardware support (i use a first gen x1 carbon and it is very good to me). i would stay away from the p series as ive seen them shit bricks at work too many times

@BowieSpace welcome :3

@d6 whoa this is freakin coooooool :D

@june yeahhh T-T

re: unspecified horror

@jalcine GTK has supported these kinds of things for a while :> GTK4 docs on this are here: https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/css-properties.html

@june curious what you mean by this? i have a similar thought often but possibly with different meaning and implications

@irisnk hehe yeah :> draws on u

@irisnk but, if you do that, then mommy will, ummmm...
