Book review, writing, Malcolm Gladwell 

Wrote up a review of Malcolm Gladwell's latest book, "Talking to Strangers." This is why I don't read self-help Ted Talk esque books anymore.

Donating to a charity organization vs that of individual asks 

@Bashabez5@radical.town So once I had money to give to other people, I started donating to orgs, but I got to thinking about how I had been treated when I needed help, and past experiences my friends or acquaintances had.

Trying to access help from an org can be really difficult, and the people running things at many nonprofits loathe to hire from the communities they're "saving".

So I'd rather just give money to an individual at this point. 2/2

Donating to a charity organization vs that of individual asks 

@Bashabez5@radical.town I've been thinking about this a lot since I started a job that pays me a lot more money. I initially donated to orgs every time I got a paycheck, but I've switched to direct giving because I feel it has more of an immediate impact for people.

When I was homeless, I was unable to access groups that claimed to help people like me, because I was so busy trying to go to school and work and live my life. 1/?

I'm a writer and a coder, I spend most of my day on a keyboard that work gave me and that I don't even like. I really just want to know what to look for without having to resort to 4chan for some ungodly reason.

Fuck, I'm looking for the best keyboard to type on, not the best keyboard for viciously harassing people when they insult my favorite burly pecced super guy.

Lol, I was looking for reviews of mechanical keyboards and stumbled on the reddit group. The FAQ they devised includes a guide from 4chan. Definitely gonna take the opinions of jizz-soaked anime nazis into careful consideration when researching which keyboard to buy

If I had a giant, singing plant, I would simply let it eat my boss

steam is discontinuing the Controller it seems, so they're fireselling them at $5 a pop.

FOSS drivers in linux already so you don't have to worry about them stopping working next month or whatever.

Boost for your friends to get in on some cool HID devices.

info on why sociopath is an outdated as fuck term:

a sensationalist hack psychologist in the 80s used the term sociopath to justify the death penalty in cases where insanity would provide a stay of execution

the term is much older than the 80s, and has been used in more legitimate contexts. but robert hare is the guy who invented the "sociopath checklist," which was a huge hit in a courtroom setting, and subsequently in a lot of yellow journalism and IDTV "documentaries."

everyone really needs to stop calling folks narcissists/sociopaths when the people they're referring to aren't diagnosed and are really just known abusers.

abuse is not inherent with cluster b personality disorders.
