Walking down the street on a sunny day and seeing my shadow with pointy ears and a muzzle is one of the most θΔ things possible, I love it

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

- i deserve to spend time doing things that make me feel good and whole.

- i am capable of listening to my body and responding to what it needs.

- it's okay if i no longer have ambitions for a career.

- i am worth so much more than what i produce for the consumption of others.

- it's okay to redefine what a successful life looks like for me.

- i am allowed to enjoy things simply because they bring me joy.

- ending time doing something I love is enough

Software has standardized on dependency isolation. This means that every programming language / tech tool now is designed to download multiple gigabytes of standalone utilities each with their own copies of the libraries, and they install all of them into my home directory, and I'm sitting here weeping as my boot drive keeps dipping below 10GB free and throwing up error dialogs, while meanwhile the D: drive has like 500GB free

The Onion really nails the morality we assign to "those who lost their homes" and "homeless people":

Ursula K. Le Guin: “If it is the future you seek, then I tell you that you must come to it with empty hands. . . You cannot buy the Revolution. You cannot make the Revolution. You can only be the Revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.”

Last night before I went to bed I saw a post where someone had made a refutable point. I wanted to reply to this but instead fell asleep. In the morning, I was unable to find the post. So I guess today there's just someone in the world who's going to be going around doing their stuff the whole time not even realizing they're wrong

It occurs to me that I and many many others grew up being told in school to "try to hold it in until after class" when we needed to take a piss, and yet every single medical professional I've spoken to in this kidney transplantation process has told me that doing so is bad for your kidneys, even for healthy people.

Same story for toilets in public spaces. Often simply not available (whether non-existent or too expensive or too dirty) and the response to criticism about this is to "just hold it in until you get home".

Why exactly are we teaching people to "hold it in" if we *know* that doing so is bad for you?

bro are you okay your inner monologue is all harsh vocals

Sim 3 laptop (for reference)

I really thought this was a @NanoRaptor image, but nope! Acer really made a Sim 3 style laptop that swaps the location of the keyboard and the trackpad.

Behold, the Acer Aspire R7...

What strikes me as particularly ironic is GNOME’s own Human Interface Guidelines, which proudly state, “People are at the heart of GNOME design.” With all due respect, if that’s the case, maybe I’m not considered “people.”
