Today's tarot draw is Seven of Arms from www.neonmoontarot.com 

"Deceit or subterfuge is abound. Be mindful about harming others when using deception or trying to be sly, and be careful of others using it on you. Keep your values in mind as you decide on a course of action and watch out for situations where your morality may be compromised. The easy path forward may not be the best path, and you may have to examine if you should deal with your situation head on."

i spent most of today studying typography and deconstructing sci-fi/cyberpunk style fonts, because i needed to make my own

here's a couple of fonts i came up with

@not_on_pizza i just realised i can use a square "font" to represent pixels, and set syntax highlighting to display them as various colours
@zatnosk @a_breakin_glass by all means please do, but i'd rather live in a society where people don't need a system to support each other
@a_breakin_glass @zatnosk well, we both know the answer to that

@zatnosk @a_breakin_glass why is democracy succeeding (not that i think it is, just for the sake of the argument) in Sweden, but not in other countries with similar systems?

is it because people in Sweden are more aware of social issues, because they're happier, wealthier, haven't been screwed up in the past century by wars/crises (unlike most of the western world)?

can democracy handle a more generic case, or just a case which essentially handles itself?

@zatnosk @a_breakin_glass if you call democratic a system where the will of the majority isn't respected when it's stupid (which, on the scale of a country, it usually is), we're probably disagreeing on what "democracy" means

ftr, i don't oppose democracy (or any other system) when it's based on free association and informed consent

@a_breakin_glass @zatnosk name a historical democratic state with no institutional oppression
i want a vim for pixel art
