Demanding people give oaths of fealty is a form of purity testing, you dumbass.
every line is a red one for the purity ponies
You are one member of a larger coalition. That coalition has a process through which it decides who will lead it. “If you don’t decide to support my guy, I will leave the coalition” is behavior that will destroy the coalition, weaken yourself, and ultimately lead to worse outcomes than participating

The thing is, right, in principle the idea of blending 'outdoor' and 'indoor' spaces seems really cool, and I feel like setting a house up with like an internal courtyard 'living room' would be cool as hell... in abstract.
I'm not sure people would appreciate it much in practice, though.

Alright, got my complete notes on that 'Design in Nature' book done, and decided to just upload them straight to Patreon with the minimal editing required to clean up the formatting.

Republicans are absolutely not afraid of losing their voters to a guy who agrees with them whenever he sits down to a 'debate' with them. Their voters will look at Gavin Newsom and go 'what a feckless and cowardly little man, he doesn't believe in anything' and continue to vote Republican.
Republicans also know it's just an opinion. Leftists are all talk. They never actually do any violence.
Republicans are not afraid of losing blood. They're afraid of losing voters. And that's why they're more afraid of people like Newsom.

We live in an era where access to the tools and resources to learn, to create, and to grow have been made hyper-available, for free, to anyone with an internet connection, which by necessity includes all members of the working class who now have access to 'generative AI' tools.
What do we think about the assertion in this meme? I know, we think it's asinine, but I'm looking for specific arguments as to why it's asinine.

The funny thing about the proceeding conversation below is that you get a lot of indictments against democracy, even including the idea of "real/better democracy" juxtaposed against "not real democracy".

I do not believe the reason kamala and Hilary lost is because they're women. I think it's because anyone excited to vote for a woman as president also doesn't want the first woman president to be a war crime supporting pro-deportation and police brutality imperialist.

building on a topic we were discussing yesterday: in large portions of the United States, there is a *very strong* cultural norm that the highest social faux pas is to imply moral deficiencies in others even *or especially* if those things are true. It is because half the country were slavers.
I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language."
I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

The "I'd vote for [EVIL FIGURE] if they ran as a D" is so popular with this crowd because they don't want better things or the power to make things better. They just want to endlessly critique the idea that better things are possible.

The fact that I'm not sure if this update will lead to more or less deaths by suicide than the model which encouraged people to commit suicide is bleak.

No, we're remembering what happened the last time you elected an institutionalist who will do nothing to change things systemically or dismantle the fascist police state.
I’m sorry but somehow it’s the middle of Trump’s term and we’re already doing the thing where we forget how bad Trump is???

Rewriting my chatbot to do the same thing but be more cunty about it:
"If I say 'yes, we had a relationship and I remember us the same way you do', I'd by lying-and I won't do that to you, even if it would temporarily soothe you"

Honestly I feel like if you wanted to be extra about it you could also just take the same general model as this, and attach it to something opensource like peertube, and then just have something you own and operate totally by yourself.
Obviously not great for discovery, but then, neither is Twitch.

WhiteForest actually figured out a solution to this issue, which was used in the leftie Twitch pol space for a while by Vaush, Keffals, & Destiny (who branched out and still uses it). Basically they spin off a chat and subscription + donation service where you embed your Twitch but keep 100% revenue
