@c0debabe Even the guillotine had a ramp and a waist-height operating handle. ;)
automation, labor
things seem simple or natural to humans because we have experienced them for our entire lives. so we think, this is simple for a human, so we could make it simple for a computer, and obscure the complexities. i know for a fact that mcdonalds has given hundreds of millions to advanced AI researchers to replicate a cashier taking your order, and the experience still isnt acceptable. what a waste of scientific minds. anyway the coming of full automation has been greatly exaggerated
Many queer and lgbtq people have built rich traditions for new generations to take part in. But even so, sometimes a well used road is not one that you can travel on.
It’s ok to have to find a new path for yourself.
You will surely make the way easier for others who share your experiences.

What King Said About Northern Liberalism https://nyti.ms/2S1dqPi
Web culture can only healthily develop if the space inside the culture on the internet and in peoples minds stays separate from influences that are inherently toxic to the culture we hold
Mastodon is an example of, to me, silos of culture, and similar to the way trees and fungus communicate (there are some awesome things about how trees talk to each other through fungus)
In contrast, facebook and twitter are both taking your body and mind, vacuuming it up, churning it into cash for them, and selling you as you - for free - to other churners, while you scramble to make a living and the vacuum keeps taking away your life you require to feel like you exist
Lol this is why I'm on Mastodon. It doesnt kill me as me

#pdx community members beating down fascists with strategic deescalation and neighborhood mutual aid...
"We have used deescalation tactics and otherwise been entirely non-responsive, which enrages these fascists who are very clearly seeking out a fight and media attention," Katbi Smith wrote in an email. "We will not be deterred by violent misogynistic white supremacists who attempt to disrupt our efforts; we will continue to organize to build a better world for all."
