Fellow #WisCon people take note: No more stuff at Michelangelo’s.
I mean I know once we have WisCon again it will hopefully no longer be a time where we have to wear masks everywhere, but I am perfectly capable of bearing a public health grudge and so should all of you be
Companies and establishments that disregard the safety of their employees during a plague should know that we are watching and we won’t forget what they do now.

This looks like everything I want. Mass Effect but it’s Skyrim. Nothing emotionally challenging, nothing uncomfortable, just a story people put 1000s of hours into which I’ll immediately ignore and Todd Howard gently massaging my brain for months of my one wild and precious life
Given how relentlessly committed to fucking myself up I am in terms of my media, I reserve the right to lust for comfortable undemanding sandbox SF
Oh god the modders

I am going to make this the most overwhelmingly horny space game first chance they give me, I’ll tell you what

It’s really important to note this—and to understand, again, that the hypocrisy is not accidental. It’s not a bug.

The flex of not having the rules apply to you is meaningless unless they still apply to people you don’t like.
Trump cult members actually love rules and norms—as tools for the capricious application of power, to constrain and oppress.

And of course, the rules still would apply to *them*, but Trump allows them the vicarious thrill of not having to worry about that.
It’s the same thing as the right wing obsession with “law and order”; deep down—and sometimes not so deep—they love cops not because of any notion of public safety or justice but as a violent fascist paramilitary force that targets everyone they dislike or fear.

This is actually the thing I can’t get over in terms of why tech is still trying to make this particular brand of fetch happen—*people do not like it, for very real and deep-seated social reasons*.
One could argue that eventually people will feel differently as this kind of tech gets normalized—but the thing is that in order for it to be socially normalized, people need to adopt and use it in sufficient numbers first.
This especially is key, I think, for why using this kind of device is different from looking at your phone when hanging out with a friend.

Those of us who are heavy phone users have incorporated it into our system of social cues and signals, and it wasn’t that hard to do so. First, it’s easier to visua...

I’m really tired of comforting myself with “well hopefully more Boomers will die soon”, it feels shitty
Want to emphasize that I am not actively choosing to comfort myself with that thought, it’s a function of recognizing that a particular demographic subset of a particular age cohort has been clinging to power and obstructing progress for decades
And they’re clearly not going to stop of their own volition.

Not saying Millennials and Gen X are great, but we aren’t overrepresented in government, at least not yet, so the situation is what the situation is.

Y’all, this is another reason why masking needs to be normalized. This is just how summers are now, all over the country. If you don’t hate your lungs, watch the AQI and use respirators accordingly, this is so fucking basic
The present we’ve created for ourselves in the past means that wearing KN95s/N95s as needed is just going to be a normal feature of your life if you give a shit about your own health, I don’t like masks either but suck it up
