Which agenda is it they’re pushing this time? Inclusivity? Diversity? Permission to pee in the streets?

While I’ll be the first to admit that DISCO and Academy was not for me, it’s more due to it departing from the format and world I enjoyed than anything else. Star Trek has always pushed the envelope when it comes to equality and representation, that’s not new.

I’m still on the old micro plastic edition, will this still work, or do I need to upgrade to the nano plastic edition before seeing the benefits?

Love how they chose Valve specifically. I’d think it’d be better going after the companies making those games rather than a distributor.

Not really gonna discourage the game creators from making loot box mechanics.

Though I will say that I think any and everyone profiting from loot boxes should get fined wherever and whenever possible. I’d just start somewhere more impactful.

Last time I had a proper surge of emotion I got angry that some stranger forcibly pushed me on public transport. I struggle enough standing on public transport with low grade cerebral palsy.

I did not like emotionally responding like that one bit. Spent days trying to figure out why I got so upset by someone acting like an ass. Did not care for it. The idea of wanting to elicit that kind of emotion is just unfathomable to me. I prefer when everything is just kind of muted.

Not the guy you replied to, but I’m both intrigued and horrified by the idea of having emotions working like that. Honestly haven’t even considered it.

Thank you for this, it made me do a full stop and I am left confused.

Can you use multiple tags? Say someone who’s an excellent coder and an arsehat, do they get both or does one have to win out? Alternatively do you make a new tag for them? Excellent arsehat?

I’m honestly curious, I’m haunted by people using too many, too varied, and too generic tags in DevOps and am doing anything to find a way to remedy it.

Or Heyerdahl… Definitely a Christopher though!

Scarecrow coming in here and stealing the farmers award. And field. What’s next?

I love that sentiment. I feel learning about things I don’t have any familiarity with, be it cultural, historical, physical, or anything else really helps me understand and empathise better.

Celebrating, or hating,someone for characteristics outside their control is really weird to me.

Sites like the one mentioned aren’t worth giving time or attention, even mentally. My mind short circuits into thinking the same about sites celebrating the same.

I’d be awfully annoyed if someone went around celebrating me for having brain damage, as if I’m some prop to be hoisted around.

Instead I’d prefer we’d focus on building sites and communities where such things don’t matter, and where we can all give each other enough leeway to get along amicably.

I’m aware it’s a pipe dream, and people just aren’t good at that, myself included, but the idea is dear to me.
