I'm a climate scientist by trade. Interested in interesting things. Ecology, complexity, politics, social change, music.

  • Ruben Bolling is so damn good.

  • Maybe? But I'd say it's probably also quite common. Parent-child relationships are pretty intense at the best of times, and no one is perfect. No idea what your situation is, but it's worth remembering that parenting is hard sometimes, and it's easy to fuck up.

  • There are certainly less immoral companies though. Avoid arms manufacturers, fossil fuel, big tech, the police and chemical manufacturers, obviously.

    There's vaguely ethical jobs in manufacturing, retail, government (e.g. parks, urban maintenance), academia, the NGO sector, and many other spaces

  • I get the vibe that it's a lot easier if you're not in the US. I guess there are a few worse countries as well..

  • I don't?

  • That seems a lot like a reason to judge those accounts as not people? More than accounts that don't match that format, anyway... Who uses an auto-generated username??

  • Sorry, I was critiquing Betoota, not you

  • Some random things:

    • lots of René Magritte's work
    • F♯ A♯ ∞ by Godspeed You! Black Emperor
    • Gravity by Rone (the film clip)
    • lots of Lorn's music, in particular the filmclips for Timesink and Anvil

    Edit:

    • A Wizard of Earth Sea, by Ursula Le Guin. I think a lot of her stories have that vibe, but that one's probably the strongest in that regard.
  • Solid miss on this one.. Would have been more effective to just ignore it

  • Agree. That's not related to the point I was responding to though...

  • Because hosting was more diverse before, so when shit happened it took out a couple of sites, not a quarter of the internet

  • How about relative to the AI bubble?

  • I don't think the focus should be on the average current Linux user. Guaranteed that if Linux gained substantial market share, the fraction of tinkerers would dwindle substantially

  • Makes me wonder if there would have been much less internal political violence if these had been kept separate?

    I guess the same thing could probably be said of the US..

  • That's the first time I've ever seen a "law" called an "iron law", which is kind of wild for a law of political science. Kinda like they had insufficient evidence and had to resort to PR instead, like "look, it's an iron law, you have to believe it".

  • Good point, thanks

  • True, that's a great point

  • My partner just asked me this the other day. Answer is nope, never had a reason to want it.

    Never had a partner with a problem with it either. If someone was ever grossed out by something that's just the way I was born then they can learn to deal with it, or fuck off.
