Someone remake “It’s a Wonderful Life” but Mr. Potter believes that hoarding is morally required so he can devote resources to delivering a far future with trillions of humans while George Bailey is like, “Gosh Darnit! What if taking care of people today is what takes care of people in the future?!”

The bitter edge of hedonism is that, sometimes, healing involves discomfort, or even pain. The "pursue good feels" mentality collides with the necessity of discomfort, struggles to coalesce things that seem fundamentally at odds. "Shouldn't feeling good be simple?" it says. "Not always, I fear."

Went to a Stardew Valley Orchestra concert tonight and I have never in my life seen that many "enby and their boyfriend" combos in one place. (he went with his enby spouse)

Cannot believe I have to make the case to a bunch of career scientists why percent change should be expressed as a vector instead of an absolute value. Whether the number changed by getting bigger or by getting smaller is relevant, right?! That *does* seem important, right?!

So, I do actually think Silksong overdid it slightly with Bilewater. I think this is an instance where the dial was turned past difficult and into the territory of tedious. Pick 2: demanding/ long runback, gauntlet, boss. When you employ all 3 at once... eh, I kinda think that's jumping the shark.

It’s funny seeing all the right wing talking heads try and condemn violence, only to be reposted with screenshots of their own calls to violence. Your ethos means nothing if your praxis contradicts it.

Realizing if I prop my head up with my palm while my elbow is resting on my lab bench, the hum of my mass spec vibrates a B-flat through my body and into my ear. Also, I think I might be autistic.

Agreed. I find that it's either the cold, clinical output you describe or, fittingly, reminiscent of the "dancing around" that plagiarists use to reword a stolen phrase with ass-backwards syntax. And this is coming from someone who writes, like, technical stuff you try to reduce writer's voice in!

If there was any game that was gonna get me to stream again, it'd be Silksong but realistically, if I make any kind of content out of it, it'll be recorded and edited offline. Either way, I cannot wait :):):):)

Even backing up a layer, I... am not seeing this alleged disinclination by progressives to include men in sex lol A vigilance towards *people* who haven't done that unpacking? Certainly. Aaand cis men are heavily overrepresenting that category. I wonder why that could be 🤔

Stringbean 🌱 @profstringbean.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

This was part of my gut reaction, and I think the way you've phrased it really effectively gets to its core. It's "objective-based sex" 101, centering sex around a personal acquisition, rather than something that considers the humanity or interests of the other individual.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

The bank statements, the texts, the broken promises - these aren't personality conflicts. They're receipts of exploitation. No amount of minimization changes that.

It is not cyberbullying or brigading to stand up for yourself or your friends.

"If you wield your public influence to trash someone for sympathy donations, you have forfeited the right to say it's a private matter that's gotten out of hand."

Catching heat online because you treated people really poorly and don't think that's your problem is not the same as being cyberbullied. Someone having an impulse to hurt you back after you've shut off all personal accountability but deciding better of it makes them the adult, not you.
