I think moral injury is a real thing. It’s been described since the ancient Greek philosophers.

But I think we all have it. In this world? Under capitalism? How could we not?

The only people who aren’t bearing moral injury are sociopaths.

Hey lovely Mastodon folk. I've just released an HP-35, HP-45, HP-80 simulator called HP-1973 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the HP-45 calculator. (Free) standalone versions for Mac and WIndows (no need for any Python installation or knowledge) & Python source for Linux. It's been a coding marathon, so it'd mean a lot to me if you could boost this post, so it gets in front of the right people. Download here: https://sarahkmarr.com/retrohp1973.html Enjoy. #retrocomputing #calculators #python #coding #rpn

†not the woo spiritualist magic thing, the philosophy‡ thing
