I fucking hate that my landlord put in these big windows that can't be opened. the only windows that can be opened are shitty and can't be opened easily. this house is a ventilation disaster

people will get really mad at you for being abolitionist. especially if you tell them what happens to prisoners. they want the convenience of the carceral state’s illusion of safety without the guilt of what they knowingly inflict on people

@sapphicselene @azalea @winter one of the things that caused me to lose my faith was the extension of the problem of evil

to what sort of actually-existing god that explicitly identified with the prisoners https://biblehub.com/matthew/25-36.htm

and who repeatedly accepts praise as someone who frees prisoners https://biblehub.com/psalms/68-6.htm https://biblehub.com/luke/4-18.htm https://biblia.com/bible/psalm/146/7-9

can let things get so bad that a huge critical mass of the leadership of his own cult would be the ones aiding and abetting the imprisoning

I was trying to take a nap, but I was awakened by a nightmare: in my dream, early-branching tetrapodomorphs like Acanthostega and Ichthyostega with 7+ fingers were denounced as forgeries of so-called "AI" and erased from natural history.

Like nearly all dreams, it didn't make any sense when examined in the cold light of reality. At least, I hope not.

@llewelly @gay_ornithischians it's gotten to the point where i'm doubting the value of any satire at all, except only as an unhealthy vice that we inevitably find ourselves indulging in from time to time

when has any satirical work, however well written and received, ever done anything but normalize the bad thing further

More seriously, can someone steel-man the case for executive power being less effective if subject to future evaluations and constraints?

I don't think I've ever looked at any singular leader of any organization and thought "the problem is they can't do what they want easily enough"

When I was younger I might have said that the director of a film or play can do better work if they are an unquestioned dictator... but I've grown to even reject that idea.

i'm setting up a vm in britain that's a bgp advertiser, so that makes it a networking device.

i name all my networking devices after demons, because networking is hell.

therefore, i'm naming this vm after a very well-known british demon, margaret thatcher

I’m very fond of stories in a universe where some advanced, but long vanished, race of enigmatic aliens has left behind strange artifacts: like puzzle boxes or dungeons for our heroes to explore and nearly get killed in. If not aliens let it be a lost human civilization.

I also like to think about those ancient people who built the ‘Temple of Doom’— for all of those traps to work so well after thousands of years they must have been very clever. What was it like to set them up?

apophis,
@apophis@brain.worm.pink avatar

@futurebird saw this and immediately wanted to come up with the opposite: a dungeon that's old ruins of an ancient civilization but all the traps are unintentional consequences of corruption, corner-cutting and poor design - stuff falling apart, former walls now floors with huge buttons designed in a "minimalist" aesthetic that now look like a path of tiles and it's really hard to tell which tiles are buttons and which are decorative, oozing rivers of gear-destroying toxic sludge that used to be part of the building envelope but the plastics have slowly reacted over the years to form this instead, AI smart electronics that interpret every noise the party makes in the worst possible way causing all sorts of automated stuff to happen at the worst possible time and place,...

@astrid i'm starting to think this is why imageboards and then microblogging and social media surpassed forums

places where shit is impossible to search, or old stuff is outright deleted altogether, so people with questions can be expected to just ask them and be treated like human beings for it
