• Gaslight
• Gatekeep
• Girlboss

Once there was mysterious gas arising from a crack in the ground. The gas was flammable, and when lit the light emitted turned anything illuminated into a female. No where else was this magic found, so fortifications were built around the crack to control and protect it, and they were staffed strongly and continuously. There was but one designed access point, and but one person that controlled the opening and closing of that access point: the girl-light gas-keep gate-boss.

Authoritarian means will not generate the anarchist ends.

I don’t think that’s 100% true. The guy that famously (posthumously) plays Yorick ('s skull) is not anonymous. (I just have problems with remembering names.)

Also, posthumous organ donation isn’t necessarily anonymous.

I think other Skongposters probably held off; I did a quick search of the thread to make sure I was at least the first person on my instance to mention it. 😜

But, you got me.

You could do it like a movie: I was a big fan of Steam Controller (2015) and saw it twice, but I’m not going to see Steam Controller (2026), at least not for a while.

Silksong release was still bigger. They didn’t sell out(*) and the store was down longer.

Same: Little brother got Bumblelion. Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure it got destroyed by a dog at some point.

I still have an Ele-roo stuffed toy in good condition.

Barney, I’m not introducing you to my sister.

the apartments’ appliances are designed to extract revenue. The fridge won’t chill unauthorized groceries. The toaster won’t toast unauthorized bread.

The DMCA makes it illegal to toast anything the software refuses to toast. This is legal reality today, despite being featured in (dystopic) science fiction.

I refuse to treat the lack of evidence the same as evidence. “Source: Trust me, bro” is not valid, whether “me” is “Internet Rando” or “Big Corp”.

I’ve never been very creative, but I loved playing the flyswatter game inside Mario Paint.

If you look closely, it’s hard to find a “border” in the picture that isn’t crossed.

Putting aside the problems in the current system, let’s not call Thiel’s system a justice system until we can see some results and verify they are just, 'k?

That’s basically the start of the Shadowrun dystopia. There were a lot of other things that “went wrong”, but when the government removed the liability from private security that has been protecting a hazardous materials transport from workers attacking it in the belief that it contained foodstuffs, it legitimized the “megacorp”: a corporation sufficiently powerful to impose their own legal system on their private real estate.

EDIT: In the previous histories the “Seretech Decision” was on 1999-10-26. Sources: 1 2 3 Looks like “6th edition” retconned the fictional history to start 2001-09-11 (Never Forget), so it’s unclear what and when the equivalent event is. Source: 4

Upvoted because the headline is funny, but it’s not true or at least hyperbolic. The third paragraph in the article gives it away:

The device, which resembles the lid of one of Prego’s pasta jars, seems to be more of a one-off doodad than an indicator that Prego is making a serious foray into being a tech company.

I strongly recommend finishing “She-Ra and the Princess of Power” and/or “Amphibia”.

I’m a sucker for a Strong, Female Protagonist, and really anything by Lee Ostertag (partner of ND Stevenson) or Brennan Lee Mulligan.

(EDIT: Updated name; didn’t know about the name change when I first posted. Added parenthetical connecting second paragraph to the first.)
