  • I've been screaming this at the top of my lungs for 20 years, and oh my god the "I told you so"'s I get to say now feel SO good.

    i mean, I don't have any friends anymore, so mostly im just calling up people who hate me now and saying "I told you so", but, like I DID, so, worth.

    I mean, not, like, 'worth' in the sense that anything in my life works or wasn't torn apart by my adherence to materialism and avoidance of dark patterns, but, like, you know, feels good for a few minutes when they haven't changed their number.

  • pissed? sure. 'murder someone about it'? unlikely. the things we get THAT upset about are entirely different.

    okay but we do have information. I addressed that in points one and two. we do have information. I told you what information we have. so I return to point five, and wonder if you need a hug.

    he searched for both biden and trump (and I think some others?) events because he didn't care WHO he shot, just that it was important. the kid was a right winger, in specifically the way that children can be, and that motivated that he did a shooting, but not who he shot. correct. this is what I said originally.

    I dont know if he knew what he believed

    that is what I meant by 'in the way that kids are'

  • okay I was using a specific example of an unnecessary app I used in the past week. never used the cemetary app, never had to deal with trying to when im outside of network range. still pretty sure it could be a website.

  • local elections SHOULD matter, but under the thumb of the government anything good you try to do will be banned. BDS stuff, muni broadband, walkable urbanism, whatever, will be banned at a higher level where it's more cost effective to buy politicians.

    you cannot win with electoralism alone. maybe it can be a supporting thing in a broader strategy, but it's worse than useless on its own.

  • plenty of people like to shoot guns. lefties, however, do not get butthurt because its a core part of our identities so when someone says 'you're so bad at shooting we dont even trust you to point that thing in the right ~120 degree arc to not risk shooting at us, go away'.

    you addressed everything I said. so... what IS up with you? lets go back to point 5. feels like that's more what this is about.

  • you're saying we should give kids cigarettes? or something like cigarettes? maybe kids don't need to be addicted to things?

    if you really need to keep this metaphor going, linux is, like, meditation or cognitive behavioral therapy or having friends, because its generally good for you, and doesn't lock you into a bullshit proprietary ecosystem like tobacco or macs do.

    see, the thing about lucerne milk is, if im making a milkshake, and I run out of lucerne milk but have an unopened bag of canadian milk, I can pour in the weird-ass canadian milk (spilling half of it because what kind of freaks put milk in a bag?) and it will work and be fine. because its just a company selling milk. all the milk is just milk. milk, in fact, is interoperable, and open if not free. hell, I can make milk if I really desperately want to.

    if I have an apple product, and want to make it work with a non-apple-approved product, im going to have to fight their engineers at every step. fuck, getting them to start using FUCKING TCP/IP was like pulling teeth.

    1. his social media accounts.
    2. journalists have talked to people who knew him. he was like a center right dude, in the way stupid teens sometimes are.
    3. the whole reason he decided to do this is because he got laughed off the school's rifle team for being bad, and was so upset about it he decided to try to kill an 'important' person to prove it to them.
    4. I think he said why? IDR the medium. I don't super care. look it up.
    5. why are you saying we don't know? are you just now stumbling into the fundamental limits of knowledge and epistemological uncertainty and having an existential crisis and getting an urge to build a time machine so you can go back to when kurt godel was alive so you can MURDER HIM and never have to think about this again? are you okay? do you need a hug and an ice cream koan? can I help? not with the time machine; kurt godel is one of like three mathmeticians whose work I actually like,but, you know, with your feels?

  • it's great that the corporate lawyers who do this shit get more of societies abstracted denatured fungible resources than any doctor, any engineer, any social worker. this fucking system is irreparably broken.

    there are things we can do though.

    we can exclude them from society; the entire professional apparatus of law that enables this. we can put bodily fluids (or random allergens) in their food and drink. we can treat them rudely and last at the hospital. we can lose their paperwork. we can slash their tires. we can spit in their faces. we can cut them off in traffic. we can publish the graduating classes of law schools. we can pick fights with them in bars. we can ruin their dry cleaning. I bet some of us could even fuck up surgeries, or just be a little slow with the jaws of life. we can even reward any children that bully theirs, encourage it, coach it, unless those children loudly reject their parents. we can undercut and isolate and torment them at every opportunity. and we can normalize all of this. not that any of us will ever see it happen, of course. I know I'm not going to see shit.
