Traveler Farlander @twfarlan.bsky.social · 5hIf we're talking about harm to society, there's a case to be made that BDSM is more suited to the "serious" label than golf, which could be considered "deviant" thanks to its associations with exclusionary clubs, land waste, white supremacy, and skin cancer rates. 010
Traveler Farlander @twfarlan.bsky.social · 9hThat's how I came to be in Virginia. I saw the Atlantic for the first time in decades and wanted to stay near it. 020

Traveler Farlander @twfarlan.bsky.social · 10hI don't think it can. Cinema is the medium of visual communication. Not storytelling, but storyshowing. No matter what visual art you add, it's just added to the theater of the mind that an AP brings to life. 010
Traveler Farlander @twfarlan.bsky.social · 21hDepends on the interpretation of "weird." If "abnormal," the kindergarten. I was nothing like the other children and was separated from them further by the school's gifted program, which identified me quickly. If "odd," then perhaps fifth grade? I really did not think as others did. 050

Traveler Farlander @twfarlan.bsky.social · 12/10/2026So, let me see if I've got this: all the techbro assholes seem to want to associate themselves with the image of Saruman, renowned for his wisdom and power before ultimately falling to ruin by being duped and enslaved to Evil? And people think they're smart? 030
Traveler Farlander @twfarlan.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Me: Yes, that's when the dipshits in the C-suites industry-wide were cutting payroll to juice margins so the cult of shareholder value would give them outlandish bonuses. 060
Traveler Farlander @twfarlan.bsky.social · 10/10/2026For me, the difference is the emotional bond comes first, presaged by an interest in the person which makes me want to build that bond in the first place. I can't really feel sexual attraction for someone until I have established that bond. I can appreciate their beauty, but I don't wanna touch. 130

Traveler Farlander @twfarlan.bsky.social · 08/10/2026There are people who enjoy friction in a game's design, and there are people who don't. I don't, but if you do, that's fine. It's the people who insist on friction like it's a moral stance who get on my nerves. Or just as bad, the "Git gud!" crowd. Fuck off. 030

Traveler Farlander @twfarlan.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It's been said by others, but it bears repeating: what is the point of a job that doesn't let you support a basic standard of living? If a single job, worked at or nearly full-time, won't get you the essentials (housing, food, etc), then why do you think anyone should do it? Passion for the mission? 050

Traveler Farlander @twfarlan.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Attention people who make spending decisions on advertising: Stop. Seriously, just stop. If I see an ad for your product and wasn't already thinking about it, I'm not going to go buy it. If I see an ad for your product more than once in a week, I will NEVER buy your product. Ads ruin everything. 030
