I hate this so much. Democrats and their fucking rule-following horseshit. Also Tim Faust is right.

I need like a therapist, only rather than helping me understand my problems, I've already got most of that sussed out, so someone who's job it is to help people figure out how to solve them, and then actually help solve them when the person can't do it themself.

It's the main reason why I don't go to therapists. I've had 2 in the past and I learned a little bit, but now I can just figure out what my problems are and their causes myself. I just can't solve any of them rip.

yo, i read an article about the psychiatric field that someone here linked months and months ago, and i'm trying to find it again? it was basically about how psychiatry (and capitalism in general) preys on the idea that struggles are caused by personal flaws instead of societal shortcomings and pointed out how many popular psychiatry related theories have been completely disproved but are still widely upheld. does anyone have any idea what it might have been??

i gotta say it's not looking good for team "maybe the system will find a way to effectively correct for this pack of vile shitbirds".

Weird how we've allowed privately held institutions to redefine "Open" and "Free"

Is there a #coop that provides VPN with Low latency to the Oakland fiber network?

My Ideal network topography let’s me VPN to my home office server, but I would rather pay a coop to manage the uptime than maintain the uptime myself.

"woo the internet is dying, now we gotta make a new one just for techies and nerds just like it was in the 90s" is a bad take.

the internet and whatever comes after it needs to be accessible.

"normal" people aren't killing the open web, capitalism is.

"Point is, there’s zero risk for Cook to openly associate himself with someone like Trump. Extremists will praise him, centrists will excuse it away, and the rest will condemn Cook, but keep buying iPhones and Macs anyway – and Tim Cook knows it....."

I signed up for fungi cultivation class. I got the last spot before it closed!

I told my partner and she was all,

"ooh I want to take that with you!"

"Sorry, it's all full. I guess there wasn't mushroom left."

It’s #InternationalMensDay.

Today, I want men to think about how they comfort each other when they learn that one of their bredrens is going through something. Often, what some men in our lives truly need is another man to talk things through with.

if your Linux "cat" command gets stuck and you need to cancel it, you must run "killall -9 cat" because the process has 9 lives

The Open in Terminal and .localrc bits deserves some explanation: I have bash configured with a custom shell function that runs from .bashrc. It looks at the current directory for a file named `.localrc` when bash is first loaded and if found imports it, then recursively climbs the directory tree doing the same until it reaches $HOME.

Since I use `~/Projects/$ORG/$PROJECT as my directory layout`, this gives me per-project custom shell environments.

the idea of childhood being a burdensome, selfish, and disruptive stage of life is actually shitty capitalist/fascist propaganda trying to convince us that kids are bad because they do what they wanna do, feel what they wanna feel, say what they wanna say, and value fun and comfort and personal agency over productivity and servitude
