Speaking as a freelance worker, I love this experience. Loading up the App and seeing I’ve been paid by a few people and I’ve got more in there than I expected.
Even if I knew I’d invoiced the money, still lovely to see it in there!

- Comment on Choose to live in reality 3 weeks ago:
This view supposes we are external to reality.
From another view, our capacity to shape reality is limited and defined by the nature of reality.

I think you’ve defined the problem rather well there…
It’s not that Normies couldn’t use it, it’s that Normies won’t use it.

I can’t blame them, their cousins are hot.

Getting any printer to work is hard enough.
Getting an old, worn unreliable one is not a solution that would work for everyone. I doubt there would be enough of these for everyone who hates their printer anyway.
Also, printer nonsense has been going on so long, it’s probably impossible to totally avoid

Do they look like penis or just penis look like them?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
No, it isn’t.
Statistics are not value judgements.
They’re often used to justify racism but they’re still innocent.

The year you were born does not define your views.
But it can serve to predict it.
Whilst any individual within an arbitrary age bracket can be anything, trends and statistics for those age brackets can be measured and proven.
This is true for age with a much stronger effect than hair colour, because of the material impact it has on the cultural, economic and environmental factors which inform a person’s assumptions, experience and perception of norms.

There’s a limit to that with health anxiety for some people, they need to believe in the illness enough that they’ll find the listed symptoms or distort things to fit.
One of those things that can be good or bad, depending on the underlying process.
- Comment on Is anyone else worried about the dehumanizing memes about Mark Zuckerberg being exploited for anti-semitism? 2 months ago:
Honestly, didn’t know he was Jewish.
His own personal identity is strong enough that I don’t think the two things are gonna get conflated

- Comment on What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game? 2 months ago:
Mass Effect, almost certainly with plenty of honourable mentions to other games.
Peak is the Dramatic Scene at the end of ME1 after the final boss. Really really moved by events on Tuchunka and Rannoch.
Favourite moment outside Mass Effect, JC Denton saying “You’re gonna burn, alright”
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 2 months ago:
Absolutely agree.
One of the ways we’ve gone wrong so far is that people do need some guidance at least on what is possible and acceptable.
Just saying to young people “Be whatever you want to be” is unhelpful and confusing.
Role models of all kinds and representation matter so people who are figuring these things out as they grow have inspiration, ideas, can see who they are reflected in the world around them so they can put a name to the feeling.
If we can do that without shaming, blaming or excluding then people can find their way without the need of gender binary.
Caveat, not everyone is a suitable role model. Some people are warnings, not examples.

I do love those games.

Did anyone ever fill out those registration cards?
- Comment on Some Older PC games I have, just wanted to share. 2 months ago:
Exactly.
Old games come in large cardboard boxes to accommodate the manual, with disks rattling around inside.
And in one case, a vacuum packed t-shirt too!

Maybe the screen itself isn’t the point then?
