‘Silver thread and golden needles’ is a terrible material choice, clearly you want silver as your needles for rigidity and gold thread for ductility. You cant mend your broken heart because you suck at industrial design, Wanda.

Apropos of nothing: People with narcissistic personality traits are very sensitive to ‘injury’ from defeat. They may feel humiliated, degraded, hollow, and empty. They may react with disdain, rage, or defiant counterattack.

I understand why we stopped using master/slave terminology in relation to drives, but why didn’t we switch to sub/dom?

The words came to me in a dream: "Goonsday Preppers"

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

No, it wasn't that kind of dream.

The words came to me in a dream: "Goonsday Preppers"

Megan Aldrich, 33, was shocked to discover that, despite a long history of debunked headlines, Snopes-worthy urban legends and baseless moral panics, confirmation bias is still alive and well in people who really should know better.

But hey the good news is I got to learn a legal term I had never encountered before: “promissory estoppel”

I’m *still* feeling the effects, financial especially, of that decision some asshole suits made. They should legit count themselves blessed that by month 9 of unemployment I had not self-immolated on Riot’s front steps. But the studio made an enemy for life and I will die spitting venom about them.

That got me an answer, at least: it was nothing to do with me and everything to do with the studio’s ontologically evil c-suite acting without thought or care to whose lives they ruined. And they *had* ruined mine. I’d end up being unemployed for 9 months as the game industry burned down.

They did not tell me why or what happened. My recruiter’s boss simply had a video call with me where he told me the position was no longer available and they would “try” to find me something else. No one from his team would ever contact me again, even after multiple followups on my part.

I could not get my old job back. Riot had forced me into unemployment in what we now know to be the worst job market in industry history. I finally found Riot’s Head of People on LinkedIn and sent her a 2000-word message explaining in detail how badly they had fucked me and asked them to explain.

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment. 2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

Maybe it would help if I framed things as "what supports humans thriving" instead of what is natural to us because people get really distracted by that wording, and fair enough. But we are animals with specific needs, so: eating rocks, polluting water = bad for us helping each other = good for us

Many things are natural and we can have debates all day about the existence and benefit of aggression but the core of human nature is that we survive together and we die alone. We are not solitary primates, we need each other and the fallacy of competition these guys are chasing after is killing us

Listen everyone gets mad at me when I try to talk about human nature but someone has to counter these maniacs who are going to keep saying this shit about dominance and hierarchy being "natural"

please don't do this. MAGA hats are made from an acrylic blend, which will release toxic chemicals when set on fire, potentially harming you and downwind woodland creatures

I wouldn't be here today if not for the internet, the friendship, the spaces, the communities, I've needed it. The internet is a tool for us to come together, to find each other and ourselves. Censorship will take it all away from everyone.

As a victim of CSA and sex trafficking the fact that @jay.bsky.team and @aaron.bsky.team are fine with suspending people who speak out against CSA and abusers like totes gives off Mundus sine caesaribus vibes. ✨ Great job girly pops.

I Am Lucifer, the Devil, AMA "Which of your many accomplishments are you most proud of?" The idea that once your body is done growing, so is your mind. "Wait, when is our minds done growing?" You were never meant to be done growing, learning, examining. But you could be persuaded to give it up.

I want to reiterate the “mountain of salt” comment here. No idea if this is for real, policy from the top, just someone’s opinion. But it’s kind of intriguing.

A wild rumor I heard: US agencies that purchase vulnerabilities have explicitly told their vendors *not* to bring them vulnerabilities in encryption protocols (like Signal or WhatsApp), unless they want those vulnerabilities disclosed/fixed. (Take this with a mountain of salt.)

The pony is irrelevant to what they voted for. They voted FOR THESE POLICIES. They voted for this. They fucking voted for every fucking INCH of this. Fuck them. Let them suffer.

Ditto for the mortgages, the national debt (which they always confuse with consumer debt), and the rich farmers. However ridiculous and nonsensical they were, Trump made those associations very, VERY clear.

EVERY person who voted "for the ponies" did so with the understanding (mistaken as it was) that the ponies would be a result of poking immigrants with hot pokers. They knew that. They understood what the policy was. They knew what would happen before they could expect their fucking ponies.

No matter, though. Maybe we can't get MAGA to understand object permanence, but we have everything we need to understand their votes.

Their minds are still set to "ponies". They voted for an outcome, dammit, and they didn't get that outcome! They are unwilling or maybe even unable to pry their eyes off their desired outcomes long enough to consider them in the context of the associated policies. I don't think we can fix that.

They feel like they're morally in the clear because, well, they voted for the PONIES, you see. Trump didn't give them ponies; they were duped! It's not their fault that all this BAD shit is happening! They didn't vote for that!

You and I look at it, and we say, "No, dumbfuck, you DID vote for this. You were sending me mocking text messages on voting day about how awesome it would be when you could feed rocky road ice cream to your brand new pony." They wanted the immigrant-torture ponies. They got the immigrant torture.

Now they're saying they "didn't vote for this" because they're facing the ACTUAL consequences of Trump's policies, not the crazy shit he said would make it happen. The consequences we predicted. The consequences we WARNED them about. The consequences they MOCKED US for predicting.
