@wintgenstein I heard you like postmodernism so I made a simulacrum of a simulacrum and then abstracted that 16 times in a way that if you look at it from the right angle on a Thursday night and it's raining outside it's a scathing critique of the neoliberal hellscape we live in

@lynnesbian what is it with capitalists and making everything a competition why is it always about fighting and never about being together and helping each other

I can't stop thinking how fucking insidious the brexshit referendum was. Like... making the biggest directly democratic experiment in the country's history be a binary vote between two nebulous concepts that didn't really mean anything by themselves?

What a fuckin way to divide and conquer, the british ruling class really nailed this one...

I wonder if part of this is the general stigma about bodily functions people in civilization tend to have

I mean, everybody poops, but no one wants to talk about it

so far so good, but the ribbon cable choker needs something else. I think v2 wants proper connectors in the front.

@dankwraith @garfiald Oh geez, I'm adding feyerabend to my reading list I guess. This is such an interesting take.

@dankwraith @Dayglochainsaw @garfiald I think it's useful to distinguish between science and ideological science-worship.

Ultimately "reason" and "logic" are aesthetic senses. When you hear a logical statement, you can sense that it is logical in the same way that you can sense a drawing is beautiful.

It has always been the case that religions and ideologies try to appeal to this basic sense as justification, by pushing scientific theories that support the ideology and suppressing theories that contradict

The 2009 Sydney dust storm looks like Blade Runner.

Additionally. I placed the track listing of each mix in a file called tracklist[0-9]*.txt so you can know what songs are in each mix.

Apropos of nothing: regular reminder, especially for people in IT/Eng: you don't make it anywhere by working 80 hours a week and being available 24/7.

Your org will thank you for your dedication, expect it from everyone else on your team, and call it "normal" from then on, not reward you. Not in any real tangible way anyway. I've seen it a dozen times in my so many years in the industry.

Overworking like this leads to the org expecting your co-workers do the same, and masks understaffing issues that lead to not having proof you need to demand additional hires to shoulder the load. You're doing yourself no favor and harming everyone else.

If you can't get your workload done in a normal work week that is a management problem. Make it a management problem as much as you can.

You are entitled to, and absolutely should, unplug when you go home for the day. If your org discourages this, that is a problem.

Demand security of your own personal time. If your job requires on-call, demand a clear on-call procedure and clear escalation policy that outlines WHEN and WHY you can be contacted off-hours. Push back on its necessity if you can and finally enforce it if it's comfortable.

If your org uses Slack or similar, set your quiet hours. If you have a separate work device or software, shut it off off the clock.

I can't stress any of this enough.

PS: Unionize, damnit!
