Another option that has actually happened in other places: sue them into compliance! It doesn’t even matter if you win or not, what matters is making people look down the barrel of legislative costs while you have infinite money!

haha, this goes along with my husband’s comments when I asked him this question too. He said that nobody does documentation the first time.

Okay then YOU set the standards of proof. Anything other than a direct experience, what would you consider credible as a source of counterargument?

If the consistency doesn’t take dosage into consideration does it take frequency? I’m curious about that part. I only partake 1 time a week (generally) but I do that every week so my consistency is high.

Fun fact the jury nullified on her felony counts.

Prosecutors had initially charged Woods with seven felonies, each of which were nullified by the jury. Instead, she was found guilty of four misdemeanor counts of assault and battery, as well as two counts of reckless assault.

Not to mention the federal level bill that is so sweeping it applies to virtually everything.

Suddenly reminded of an article I saw from like… TEN years ago talking about anti-surveillance makeup and haircuts. It was just like painting block shapes in multiple colors on your face haha.

My thoughts were that now they can ID people tagged as “dissenters” to widen the net.

While I don’t entirely disagree, I also think the amount may be a bit more than you think. Just to go off of the backlash Discord faced forcing them to wait a few months in hopes nobody will care later. If absolutely nobody was against it for them, they wouldn’t have bothered with even that much. Then again, that’s PC vs Console, so I’m not sure if the demographics would be drastically different.

It’s kind of sad in hindsight. I remember around 8-10 years ago or so a conversation about unionization amongst programmers came up and almost universally the response was “lol why would I ever unionize? Just hop companies.”

Welp.

Really enjoying Kvaesitso!

Webrings are very nostalgic and recently a TTRPG-blog based one got started up, so that’s pretty cool! https://rootr.ing/

They are referencing this.

What kind of content do you watch? Some of the stuff I enjoy watching I can definitely get my fix from elsewhere (educational, food/cooking/recipes, tech news); some of it is very person-specific so I would miss out on their specific views on things but I still would have other sources to turn to if I could disregard that (essays, reviews, comedy); and some of it is like ‘well my choices are basically youtube or twitch’ (let’s plays/other video game content)

(EDIT: Reviews not News. I hate watching most news tbh.)

This definitely has been the narrative recently. Not just from Bland Altman but also from other billionaires it seems.

Perhaps he could take a page out of the book of authors and publish a new game under a non-de-plume?

I particularly like using it to capture a snapshot of the website for, say, my paid newsletter subscriptions that I might want to read later. That way if I do let my subscription lapse, I can still access the content I already paid for.

In their heads what they’re actually saying is ‘moral rights.’ As in “I have a moral obligation to destroy trans kids.” Everything else is, as you said, a dog whistle. But if it’s a MORAL right, then it doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing because they are wrong and an enemy.

He’s pretty active on Bluesky if you want something bad but not AS bad to follow on.
