Hey everybody, see this patreon here? patreon.com/SFtheWolf

It's significant because it belongs to:
A- Someone I care deeply about
and
B- Someone who makes incredibly rad game dev middleware and music and such that subscribers get all of at no extra cost if I recall properly.
The production of said things is currently stalled out because she went heavily into debt on a new computer, sold the old one to help cover that, and then the new one proved to have a broken everything (video card, monitor, fans, USB ports) and funnymunny mines ruined the market.
So if, say, a whole bunch of people reading this were to kick in a bit of that patreon cash to her, even if just for like a month or two, you'd first off get access to a lot of currently existing rad stuff, and also help jump start her out of this debt hole to get back to work.
... Which would then mean more rad software and music and such you'd suddenly have access to, so... really it's a pretty good deal for you if you place any value on any of that sort of thing at all.

Plus, again, helping someone out of a nasty poverty spiral. Who I'd bail out if
my net monthly income weren't a decidedly negative number (which, hey, mine is linked in my profile but it's a much better deal since I don't give a damn thing to patrons and just toss stuff out for everyone when I can).

So... yeah. Please toss money at my friend, or at least RT
that first post in this little ramble. I'd certainly appreciate it. As would she, obviously.

It's really easy to make fun of blithering idiots with fantasies about colonizing other planets and hand-waving away insurmountable problems they don't actually have a solution for. It's also entertaining so keep it up.

But it's also easy and fun to pick on them for the obvious
flaws they've thought way too much about.

Like the basic fact that literally the only reason anyone has ever had or ever will have to set up a colony is to get access to the sort of cheap labor you can only get by enslaving or at least thoroughly exploiting native people you're
very cool with denying basic human rights for and killing now and then. The colony itself you see only has value because it's in a place remote enough that people with morals and legal jurisdiction and such can't see what you're doing and/or can't easily stop you from doing it.

This (and the rest of the thread) is a point I see brought up very often (because it is plainly true and basically impossible not to observe), but I feel like people (as I'm seeing in the comments of this thread) really drop the ball on where all this externalized self-loathing
comes from.

Way too often, people look at these pathetic wretches and go, "ah, I know why they seem to hate everything about being a woman! They're all actually trans men in denial!"

So, first of all, this is one of those things where I think we all learned the hard way that
things go really badly when you make the wild claim that all the people who hate group X are secretly members of it. This happened with being gay for a good long while, and it lead to a lot of "allies" making shitty gay jokes about right-wing lawmakers and religious cranks, and

So I think I've touched on this a bit, but the attack being made fun of here is actually a bit scary in just how baseless it is.

The degree to which extreme bigots, and I always hate to use this phrase, control the media narrative on trans people is such that not only does their
hatemongering go completely unchecked, their straw men get to speak on behalf of all trans people.

The narrative being pushed here, which based on celebrity reactions is a pretty good recruitment tool, is that trans women are out in force trying to compel everyone to never use
the word "woman" again.

As people keep pointing out, that's completely ridiculous, clearly not happening, not something we'd be in a position to do, something that in fact goes very much against our collective interests, and is of course projection, because this is a hate group

Like aside from the general Libertarian paint-huffing and thinking the company is based in Wisconsin somehow, there's really not a whole lot to sell.

"Name recognition" does nothing, because 3rd parties are allowed, encouraged even, to slap that name on all their stuff...
the "more business-friendly labor market" being speculated about here simply does not exist. It's a weird niche little industry here. Everyone with the actual qualifications to do what the new union here does either currently works at Paizo, or are already pretty comfortably

Seeing a few people on the ol' TL today wasting their time trying to have reasoned arguments with anti-vaxxers. I still maintain that the best response to bad-faith arguments is never to engage, but should you insist on doing so, I highly recommend you ignore their talking points
and instead lead with an argument phrased something like this:

IS THE WIDDLE CRYBABY SCARED OF A TINY LITTLE NEEDLE? WAAAAAAAH! WAAAAAAAAAH! I DON'T WANT AN OUCHY FROM A TEENY LITTLE POINTY! I NEED EVERYONE TO LET ME JUST HIDE UNDER MY BLANKIE AND PRETEND NOTHING'S WRONG! WAH!
Should the person in question attempt some manner of counter-argument, you might then respond with something like:

WAH! WAH! THE WIDDLE CRYBABY CAN'T HANDLE A WIDDLE POKE YOU CAN BARELY FEEL! WAH!

And I want to stress that I am actually being completely serious with this advice

Hey anti-vax weirdos. You got a ton of vaccinations when you were a child. Nothing happened except you didn't get any horrible plagues from not having them. Millions of people have gotten the ones you're worried about and had no problems of any kind after, they can just live life
and the big scary looking needles you keep seeing in news stories are ridiculous props from stock photos. The actual needle is so small and so thin you literally don't even feel it and there isn't a single drop of blood. At worst you're tired for a day.

Every other scary thing
you've heard is a ridiculous story someone made up because they're a whiny little baby looking for an excuse not to get jabbed with what they imagine is a giant needle and the crap they make up is absurd if you think at all. A few drops of what's mostly clearly clear water can't
