The Handmaid’s Tale sounds practically prophetic with some of this stuff. I guess the peeps could be heard back in the 80s for some of these “Christian nationalist” groups.

Let’s call it what it is, they take Christianity and make it their calling card but follow very few, if any, of the actual calls or teachings of Christ. They want to attach to something which has meaning to validate and give authenticity to a meaningless, and destructive, endeavor.

This is good stuff, pretty aligned with what I was getting at here. I think this way of thinking has been running rampant for a very long time. Even at the time of Christ, there was a number of sentiments that ran counter to Christ’s teachings that ended up entwining with the beliefs of the church. No one is a perfect listener, some are much worse than others…

I just mean the trope of the blue-hair girl always losing, it hurts so much

So it’s true that SERN is using Pop!_OS as a way to tamper with the space-time continuum, I see. They probably have a steady stream from the ECHELON project of all time travel-related messages. Pop!_OS makes for a tricky OS indeed, I’m sure there are some very well-written IBN-5100 interfacing drivers available through the Pop!_OS Store.

I really didn’t expect Season 2 of Dangers In My Heart to be better than Season 1, because Season 1 was pretty solid. Season 2 has been amazing. It’s probably one of the more down to earth rom-coms I’ve seen, the first season really pushed the clueless MC but this season shows Kyotaro at least understands that his feelings are probably reciprocated.

The first few episodes of season 1 the MC is a chuunibyou. Yamada slowly gets him to shift his mindset. The first few episodes are hard to watch because his personality is a bit unbearable at first.

I hear so many people say people are dumb for backing into spaces, it makes me want to back into spaces more 😈

astraeus,
@astraeus@programming.dev avatar

How many people are commonly backing into spaces? I think the people I’ve seen or heard, online or otherwise, have just been the same people that don’t want to bother backing into spaces. I don’t think their logic is very sound, it’s just about thinking they’re wasting time probably.

Appreciation / shock at workplace IT systems

After self hosting several services for a few users, with SSO, backups, hardware issues etc, I really appreciate how good the IT was in my old company. Everything was connected, smooth, slick and you could tell it was secure. I had very few issues and when I did, they were quickly solved. Doing this all at scale for thousands of...

Who said security ever had to be difficult for the end-users? The companies that charge $15k per month per service to keep your company audit-ready. Oh and Microsoft is one of the more “seamless” providers for auth and security services out there, amazing.

Is Wired owned by Advance? The answer is yes. Condé Nast is a subsidiary of Advance. Advance has a 30 percent stake in Reddit.

This is why they call it “the Internet’s Greatest Authenticity Machine” because we know there’s nothing authentic about that cesspool. There’s even less authenticity behind a biased news article framing itself as disconnected from the subject. Not once do I see mention of Wired’s relationship to Reddit, if your owner has a 30% stake you should disclose that.

Edit: even more important is that Condé Nast itself acquired Reddit in 2006, which is where Advance’s significant stake comes from. Is that supposed to be inferred or understood prior to this article? News media needs to be accountable for this kind of reporting.

Not only a late addition, but purposefully not clarified or explicitly stated at the beginning, or even at the end, of the article. This is like fine print, tucked into the content of the article so that you have to read the entire piece to get that information. Even then, if you are in the midst of the article you might not even consider how it impacts the framing. They also use distancing language there to avoid as much as possible connecting themselves to ownership.

Modern non-stick is great, but you have to get the right ones. The cheap non-stick is terrible, stuff like Calphalon is great. You spend a bit more, but it makes cooking and cleaning so much easier.

Gonna have to binge the first season in preparation

Yeah, I enjoyed it but I wouldn’t consider it my favorite romance of this decade. So far I think Insomniacs After School took that spot for me. Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague was also a solid romance anime too.

astraeus,
@astraeus@programming.dev avatar

Dangers in my heart is so good! Insomniacs After School season 1 is pretty slice of life-y, the start of the romance happens towards the end. Season 2 is definitely going to be more about the relationship between them

Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you?

Someone recently told me that they sometimes feel gaslighted around me because I effortlessly make them question their beliefs and feelings. Hearing that didn’t sit well with me, especially since I’ve been pondering the question in the title for quite some time....

With a name like Thorny_Insight, I imagine you’ve already accepted and internalized the possibility that your internally critical mindset is equally external. This doesn’t make you evil, it doesn’t make you awful to be around, it just means that you have embraced the personality that you currently question, even if it isn’t who you truly are.

The world is becoming a very different place and the personality you have is one which is constantly questioned by people that think what is good is conformity and acceptance of anything and everything. There is no reason you need to conform or accept everything at face value.

astraeus, (edited )
@astraeus@programming.dev avatar

I relate to this. People who know me know that my thoughts and the things I say can be quite challenging. I’ve never been one to simply accept what’s considered acceptable. I always question everything, I’m always thinking about how things can change and be different.

I’m always hoping to help people see what can improve their lives, but sometimes it’s not our place to say things or do things to help other people like that. A lot of people don’t want someone who can see their weakness and try to show them a way to improve, it’s demeaning and insulting to most people.

I’ve always tried to have a positive outlook on constructive criticism, but what constitutes constructive criticism and something further is a lot different for one person than it is for the next.

Also, I should clarify that sometimes what we think is the right path to solving an issue isn’t always the right path for someone at all. It’s a huge presumption to think that we can analyze a person’s life and make the best choices for them. Heck, I can hardly even do that with my own life, let alone someone else’s.

It’s almost a guarantee that I have some form of ADHD.

Aoi Yuuki is one of my favorite seiyuu, having her play another season of Azusa Aizawa is awesome
