rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I dislike that brown and blue on a dark background has become the defacto default color scheme of math YouTube. It makes telling apart the different styles of explanation that I can expect from the video thumbnail really difficult. 010
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 04/10/2026From the thumbnail I thought this was 3Blue1Brown, and was flabbergasted "3B1B made a shitty video??" And then I checked the actual channel that posted that, and yeah, mathslop. 120
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Holy shit, I think this post just changed my brain chemistry I cannot put into words how much this might affect my way of thinking 000

rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I do have a problem of constantly feeling the need to have a defense up against every possible accusation I can't shake off the feeling that the world today is waiting for a good opportunity to lunge at my throat 010
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Sorry, I am out of the loop, did Infected Mushroom do something bad? Please no... I don't know how many more of my favorite creators being revealed to be trashy humans can I take Their Wikipedia page at least doesn't have a controversy section, so that's a good sign I think? 100
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 19/09/2026In line with the stock asset comparison, would highlight the importance of proper licensing. It's something the GenAI space woefully ignores. Most GanAI products are trained on massive amounts of stolen artwork, with no reimbursement to the artists. 120

rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Inorganic chemistry is now considered inappropriate by Bluesky moderation What has our world come to 😔 030
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Ooooh, so like if you were to take a still screenshot of the gameplay at any moment, it would look fine, but playing it in motion would look all wrong? 000
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 04/09/2026It's nice, isn't it? I am very glad I no longer have to meticulously add [post x/y] everywhere 030
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 16/07/2026[...] maintained? If so, that's fine, you of course don't owe me anything, I am just confused as to what's the state of things, since all the repositories still appear active. (BTW I am asking here because your DMs are closed, and I didn't want to set up accounts on other websites for this) 120
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Hi, uh, may I ask, I stumbled upon your work when attempting to run VR on Linux (Bazzite), and as I had issues with them, I tried to reach you according to the instructions on your Tangled repository, but according to what you are saying right here, does that mean those projects are no longer [...] 120
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Spinal extension surgeries will be a necessary scientific advancement if humanity hopes to ever reach the stars 040
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I'd summarize this all as "Breaking the rules necessitates knowing them first". Really, art does not have "rules" as much as it has obstacles. Telling others about an obstacle does not limit their freedoms. Not knowing that the obstacle exists won't stop you from crashing into it. 040
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 17/06/2026I just realized what I wrote might seem unrelated and out of the blue, sorry I thought of that because I keep seeing a trend of marginalized groups existing within marginalized groups, it is a huge source of anxiety for me 020
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 17/06/2026If the media service you are using is done well, there should be an option for subtitles translated directly or subtitles that are a transcription of the dub, sometimes called dubtitles. 140
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 17/06/2026i am so fucking scared of my future because I see so many of my supposed allies backstabbing each other on the regular 150
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 10/06/2026*I* disagree with *it* (typo/pronoun fix) damnit I re-read this whole thing before posting four times, where is my edit button Bluesky?? 000
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 10/06/2026[8/8] Violence IS an option, but it is the last one. Be kind first. 000
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 10/06/2026[7/8] Then, if you do all of that, and someone still refuses to be open, try different solutions, and to even discuss the possibility of their wrongdoing, then your know you are dealing with an actual abuser. In that case, you have my permission to go full on guns blazing. 110
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 10/06/2026[6/8] Do not fall into the trap of aesthetics-based morality. Purity tests, dogmas, and thought-terminating clichés are the tools of the abuser. If you try those, they are sure to beat you with experience. 120
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 10/06/2026[5/8] There is no such thing as an "obviously bad thing". Bad things are bad for _reasons_. Usually those are something along the lines of "it is hurtful to someone". Knowing those reasons requires talking about them. And if you can't find any reason, well, then perhaps your disgust was misguided. 100
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 10/06/2026[4/8] If someone is problematic, try to bring to bring them up through good faith discussion, explaining the situation, de-escalation, and rewarding honestly, rather then bringing them down through purity tests. Unfortunately, that will involve conversation topics you find uncomfortable or yucky. 220
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 10/06/2026[3/8] Helping the victim needs to come before hurting the villain. Before fighting, you need to gather information, communicate, and most importantly THINK, which side should you be on. You say "show no mercy", but ironically, showing mercy is one of the best ways to do these things. 100
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 10/06/2026[2/8] If we tried doing this campaign, any conflict we would get into will inevitably be deeply ambiguous about who is the abuser and who is the victim. The user Dragonfly in this thread, while is disagree with them on how effective blocking is, had other good points. bsky.app/profile/drag... 200
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 10/06/2026The problem with starting a witchhunt against witchhunters is that you are creating the exact environment that allowed them to fester in the first place. They are experts in diverting attention from themselves by finding easier targets. [Long thread, 1/8] 100

rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Huh, what you are describing seems opposite to how I understand those terms. I've imagined empathy as the ability to model and predict how someone thinks, kind of like a weather forecast, while sympathy is internally experiencing the same emotions/opinions/qualia as the other person. 010
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 26/05/2026damn that's a really good use case of the "purpose of a system" quote, I'll make sure to keep that principle in mind for the future 0100
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Good god, if someone dared to complain how *I* decorate my *own* belongings like that, I'd throw hands 040
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 29/04/2026What's the premise of this BackUp AU? I tried finding context, but I couldn't. Is there some kind of introduction post/blog/website? 010
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 20/04/2026wait, i just realized that might have sounded a bit parasocial i didn't mean it if it came out that way 020
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 20/04/2026you are setting my expectation for how my communication with other people should look like way too high 😭😭😭😭 010
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Patricia I think you are the only person who if they were to criticize something I made I would take it close to heart and simultaneously not feel hurt about being seen as lesser 230
rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 20/04/2026years ago, a similar comment that fucked me up permanently was something like 'don't try to talk to loners, usually there's a good reason people leave them alone' 100

rargor @rargor.bsky.social · 18/04/2026Speaking to someone who's not a part of your in-group about a given topic, without the anxiety about if you should be talking to them if you are not part of the in-group, is a good thing I think. It helps you see people different to you as people. 000
