Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Yeah…

#Balatro is now rated 18+ 🃏 The game's creator fires back: "Since PEGI gave us an 18+ rating for having evil playing cards, maybe I should add microtransactions, loot boxes, and real gambling to lower that rating to 3+ like EA Sports FC"

I say to myself crying while I queue up for another game of league of legends

What we’re asking for is reasonable. #workreform #berniesanders #politics

The criminal justice system exists entirely to protect the wealthy from the people, and to legalize violence from the wealthy towards the people.

To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my doctor's office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for: 1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the doctor making the determination the treatment was not medically necessary;

Inaccessibility for colourblindness is caused by design choices. A design issue, not an engineering issue. The fix is design choices, not engineering workarounds. Filters are inherently exclusionary, they aren't the answer. Fix the design instead of trying to fix people's eyes.

Genuinely think anyone can “git gud” at any creative craft they are interested in. If we wanted to actually “democratize” art we would invest in housing, healthcare, food and education as human rights. All GenAI does is make people even more financially precarious and less able to pursue a passion

It's all tied together and don't let them trick you into thinking it's for safety

REMINDER

I was wrong, THIS is 2024 in a nutshell
