You cannot hide this in the tags, bestie. This is too lovely to keep a secret.
It may not be apparent to everyone how to easily find out who wrote the poem in the tags, so: @mumblesplash
(an instant-classic example of a Tumblr thread where so many people add value!)
So wherever you look, be it near or far,
know Hope can be found wherever you are.
How do you know you're not Asexual? Maybe you just haven't met the right nobody.

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”
— The 40 Most Rage-Inducing Problems in Tech
Since you don’t respect my opinion anyway, quit pestering me to fill out a survey after every single consumer experience. I keep wondering who looks at these surveys. Is the CEO sitting in his wood-paneled office, reading each individual response on an old-timey stock ticker? If so, you can keep doing this. If not, I rate this experience zero stars out of infinity.

It's fascinating (and infuriating) to live in an age where almost everyone I know is languishing in Dickensian poverty but social media is slap full of professional-managerial computer-touchers who've never known hunger insisting that the economy is fine because their metrics say rich people are still rich.
A bad economist and a bad engineer are often bad in the same way; they're both people who, when reality doesn't conform to the model, decide to get mad at reality instead of adjusting the model
And they kill people
im being so serious when i say this but we need to bring back the "my genitals are none of your business" "if gender is whats in my pants then my gender is some loose change" mentality from the late 2010's because too many people on here are openly flirting with exclusionary people who spout enbyphobic rhetoric. stop caring about what people's agabs are you assholes. they literally mean nothing. they're not a zodiac sign or indicative of people's character. you are not wholly pure or wholly evil because of your assigned sex. you're just a person.
"what genitals do you have?" Is sexual harassment regardless if its from a security guard or a chronically online furry

And uh, what the absolute fuck was that?
I'd like to jump head first into piranha infested waters and add my two cents into discourse. specifically about transmisogyny and transmisandry. I think this also includes "tme" and "tma" and other terms and im not sure what any of the above terms mean and in no small part because I think ive seen conflicting definitions of some of them.
I do think that trans people of any flavour are going to recieve discrimination on the basis of where they started and where they are/ are trying to go because the real conversation is about power, not experience imo.
Most, if not all people, are going to want power over those they do not like. The degree differs for everyone, but I think this is a universal truth. If one person is trying to impose their power over another person, there is little to nothing that can be done within that interaction between these two people that will limit what tools the power-seeker will use to leverage power over the other. If there is any reason that the power-seeker limits what tools they will use, then it is entirely internal to them and has nothing to do with the identity or experience of the other person.
Trans people of any flavour will always recieve the worst of the discrimination against men or woman, and anything else that can be leveraged such as age, class, race, not just because someone else wants power over them, but because the power-seeker thinks they wont be stopped.
from a reply I gave:
Regardless of the reason *why* the person is being targeted, the power-seeker will use any tool they can to leverage power over someone, regardless of how relevant the tool is.
Now if this somehow does not cover transmisogyny, I would love to know; but I'm going to need some more information.
it's crazy to me that yall blame all the world's evils on capitalism when it's only so many years old, but people have been cunts since they invented being a human being. i think some people just suck and they don't need an economic model to be that way. they just do it for free.

whether they're Good Media™ or whatever aside, I think mainstream liveplay ttrpg shows have been a fucking disaster for the hobby. it's hard to imagine anything that could have fucked the expectations:results differential for people more than having celebrities do college improv with dice (and an entire media production team behind them) and telling a generation of new players that's what tabletop gaming is like
I am very lucky that my main ttrpg groups my whole life have been mostly made up of actual writers and artists who are already deeply invested (AND EXPERIENCED) in putting in fiddly annoying work to get satisfying results and in actively collaborating with others to keep shit fun and productive for everyone. the few times I've played with groups outside those circles have really driven home to me that those are all acquired skills, and they are not things it's fair to baseline expect a GM to compensate for. you HAVE to turn up prepared to pay attention and learn things and put in some effort. that's not a system issue, and it's really annoying that that's so often where the conversation goes because of these weird skewed expectations.
alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive
30-45, AI is a net negative
46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
18-29, more inclined

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!
