Underage developers are ripe to exploit since many don't understand the true value of their labor, have far more free time than adults and have less sense of "am I being taken advantage of by this company or my community?" 040
nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I recommend this 2021 PMG piece on Roblox. Later pieces touch on CSAM and SA, but this piece touches on Roblox's predatory monetary system, lack of moderation and HOW underage developers get locked in and exploited. EA and many other companies (especially in AI & Crypto) look at Roblox and think:youtube.comInvestigation: How Roblox Is Exploiting Young Game DevelopersYouTube video by People Make Games 140

nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 07/10/2026What makes studying queer polyamory tricky isn't just small sample size or outright hostile oppression, but stuff like: "I can't sign up as the third parent" "We are three queers raising a kid and the clerks gave us the stink eye" This is an added bureaucratic filter out selection bias. 000
nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 07/10/2026To me Negativity Bias is more "I observed today in equal measure 5 good things, 5 bad things and then conclude my day was TERRIBLE." 110
nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I think that's Failure Bias. > Failure bias is the logical error of concentrating on the people or things that failed to make it past some selection process and overlooking those that did, typically because of **their lack of visibility.**en.wikipedia.orgFailure bias - Wikipedia 110
nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Also going back to this old thread - potlucks are an excellent way to start a union. 041
nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 06/10/2026This really helps b/c it makes the structure flexible, durable, doesn't lump it all onto one person (usually the host who has to commit an enormous mental load) and also encourages more and more meets. (Rotate, choose outdoor venue or park instead of a home etc.) 140
nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 06/10/2026This is why I got annoyed (in an otherwise sympathetic story) by one of the NYST that said "Either invite me for dinner or don't, but f*** your potluck" Potlucks are an economically and labor cheap way to host a dinner party, and crucially spreads out the burden and forces community participation. 4721

nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 06/10/2026...John Harvey Kellogg, weird crank and eugenicist, initially came into the modern cereal business because he believed that humans were born with a set amount of 'vital' energy and bodily pleasures of any type would reduce that energy to 0 and then you died.

nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 06/10/2026...What's funnier is when Shredded Wheat was first invented it was still too moist, meaning it went moldy and wasn't shelf stable. The initial plan by Henry Perky was to mass produce the actual rollers. "HERE! You can roll and make the shredded wheat yourself at home or your restaurant!" What fun! 110

nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 04/10/2026There isn't a mass political movement to advocate for this type of global all encompassing transformation since e.g. small grumblings over sustainability or child labor means the industry gets better at obfuscating and hiding.

nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Calibrating the entire clothing and fashion industry away from fast fashion towards sustainable long termism means means you'll get higher quality products, more ethically produced, more sustainably produced, easier repairs and adjustments and tailoring, and a lower need to keep replacing or buying. 100
nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 04/10/2026True, but it is a better investment long term. Right now your clothes degrade fast, you can't get them repaired easily b/c the materials suck, and the velocity of clothes and fashions mean you're pressured to keep buying more and more crappy products. Your lifetime expenditure is far higher. 200
nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I suppose I'm vindicated somewhat ever since that Honey fiasco where I am immediately skeptical of mass marketing budgets being applied to YouTube, TikTok, podcasts and other content creators. I hate that we need investigative journalists now on every latest trend to figure out WTAF is happening. 000
nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 04/10/2026*sigh* I guess this is more of a grumbling against our current consumerist, capitalist, PE esque culture where we are rotating every 5 years: bad market > good company > good company enshittifies > bad market > good company I guess enjoy it while it lasts? 110
nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It however is long enough for Quince, Shein and so many other types of these companies to make it big, sell off to a big brand, the founders get millions and then the brand almost immediately enshittifies. So just about every tech company nowadays. 110
nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social @nimbleasanimbus.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Which is kind of unsustainable long term b/c if a massive part of your D2C marketing analysis is scraping for actual human reviews, as the internet enshittifies with more AI slop, as geopolitics makes things unsustainable etc. etc. etc. all of this becomes much harder to do. 110
