Void Chickenpropaganda doesn't work by convincing you of something new. it works by confirming something you already feel and then sneaking extra payload in alongside the validation

@genericgeekgirl "this is going to upset the delicate ecosystem of the little free library"
@chrisamaphone wow comprehensively BURNT
@genericgeekgirl I wound up telling him he could ask for a hug and it was okay if the answer was no, which is not super actionable for him until he learns to say any of those words lmao
other kid: no (explanatorily) I'm not feeling well
me: oh no!
him: I have a cough
other parent: you're getting OVER your cough
other kid: [coughs in my face]
do I *have* to socialize the baby, or
nobody tells you when you have a kid you're going to need to learn social masking all over again cause he's gonna run up wanting a hug from some random five-year-old and you're gonna be like "sorry random kid and other parent, I have zero idea what to do in this situation, I only learned how to like go to the bank and shit, can we all just pretend he's trying to hug his way into opening up a money market account"
@simrob [receiving divorce papers] wow what a paradigm shift, better adjust my priors
Jim StormdancerUpdate on "explore a maze where weird shit keeps happening," or XAMWWSKH, pronounced "exam whiskey," widely understood to be the perfect video game genre. Our symposium in the park at GDC has uncovered an important variant: if the maze is not a literal physical place, e.g. Her Story, the correct genre name is "explore a labyrinth where weird shit keeps happening" or XALWWSKH, pronounced "exhale whiskey."
