Data sadist. High quality, high variance, galaxy-brained takes. Urbanism, rage against cruelty and inefficiency, scifi/fantasy, shoegaze, stats and programming. I live in Denver, say hi if you're on Ikon.

Yeah if you're going to killed by the State, a gun is a good symbol of that. Quick and honest.

The one "parental estrangement" in my inlaws involves parents who are beginning stage Alzheimer's, a kid who is a high-functioning drunk, and just a fuckton of bad relationship management skills. The inciting incident was using the f-bomb on that sacred space, a golf course.

Yes pet breeding is so atrociously bad. It's all people who are either trying to breed a pit-fighting monster or eugenics enthusiasts who think the more inbred, the better. When most people need a chill good boy who is healthy, and doesn't shed.

It was exactly like this in 2016 when I got my dog. But I had to go to the county pound like 4 times before I got my dog. The first few times it was pretty much all pitbulls

I disagree. I think the podcaster/X/Tiktok political entertainment landscape selects for people who really believe the shizo conspiracy stuff. They aren't trained in argumentation but entertainment, which has much lower value on coherence or fidelity to reality.

I have 2 versions: - "Be back soon" = I'll return in 5 min or so. - "Gbye" = go ahead and take a nap. Might be all day or even a weekend.

Segregated social spaces all go insane; they turn characteristic virtues up until they become pathologies. Care becomes recursive harm-processing, masculinity becomes domination jackass, academia becomes trivia for status. Every scene becomes a safe space for a turbo-anima(e) demon.

Sometimes it's just "if my kid is an adult that makes me Old" But yeah if you view everyone else's life with disdain (so you can feel ok about your own life due to it being superior) it's easy to freak out about your kid not doing stuff the way you would do it.

He hates ffs for saving property from fires. I hate ffs because they demand big, expensive trucks, bad land use rules to accommodate said trucks, and evidence-free changes to building codes that make apartments worse. We are not the same!

A good chunk of these people have no faith at all (the words they use are not in relationship to a model of reality, to which they are faithful - I.e. good faith, or discordant- bad faith). Words are a game of inclusion, exclusion, and power only.

A lot of people are calling my view that Ohio peasants shouldn't be allowed to leave their ancestral steel plant to move to a borough "feudalist", but I also support multi-generational tenancy rights for specific ethnicities by neighborhood.

EA, utilitarianism, and communism have some good ideas, but are just varieties of the same problem: not appreciating the limits of individual knowledge.

I don't really think paywalls worked. News could be funded by private rich person foundation money, or as extensions of in-person social organizations (like the old union newspapers)

The hugging face incident shows why humans use ambiguous communication. It was a mob behaviour.

Everything in "social" media is just this. Finding the craziest person with a view you disagree with (on a bot) so you get angry at those crazies

Traditionally the way to get rid of a corrupt/brutal police force was to set up a second, concurrent police force to displace them and/or call in the militia against them

Well they probably would. Community meetings should just be eliminated or turned into reëducation sessions

Antagonizing assholes is both fun karmic godhood and a great way to get your teeth punched in. On a personal level, doing so is valid, but if you are "part of a community" maybe consider them.
