The look on his face was the biggest indicator for me.
It was totally a look of recognition.
The amount of how much we have been lied to about everything never cease to amaze me.
It is everything and it is always worse than I imagine even though what I imagine is so far out that I have to keep my mouth shut.

I didn't work in Mcdonalds for long enough to have good stories, but I worked in a book shop. Standing on your legs for 11h a day might not sound bad enough, but having to stand there, and do nothing was killing me.
It got to a point, where I would sleep deprive myself on purpose, so I could micro-sleep while standing... so the shift would go faster.
I hiked to the top of Huayna Picchu yesterday. It is the big hill overlooking Machu Picchu.
That's Machu Picchu down below me.
It was 2 hours of stairs with a few little stretches of steep hiking in between more stairs.
I hike a lot, and I'm in fairly decent shape after almost a month of hiking every day in Peru, but Huayna Picchu kicked my arse. My legs are Jell-O today. I don't know how some of those people on the trail made it to the top. I really don't. It was brutal. #PhotosbyRobertR
Sometimes I think back to that time that I explained git to a bunch of colleagues the way I would have wanted it explained to me.
It would become clear that nobody there wanted git explained to them that way.
"Another way to say that is: among people or communities who trust each other in these decisions, an act of self-defense becomes, seamlessly and invisibly, an act of collective defense. [...] shields-up means shields-up for everyone. Effective, practical defensive solidarity; it’s the most important new idea I’ve seen in social software in years."
I wrote this in 2020, and all the time I've spent since watching admins burn out and shutter instances saddens me.
It doesn't need to be like this.
