@kingrat I skimmed the article but it sounds like the sort of legislative tactic that could work, sadly

@kingrat oh wow I had not seen that news. Definitely good morning to Dellinger

@kingrat omg THANK YOU yes that was it

I read something yesterday referencing theory that distinguishes between safe spaces and something maybe called "collective spaces"; I can't find where I read it.

It reinforced something I've been struggling with recently: we should respect others, but where should we draw the line on saying nothing in order to remain polite? Should people have an expectation that they won't be offended in public spaces?

I don't have a good answer to that yet.

@kingrat Yeah ever since I’ve had similar opinions I’ve been released from consideration for juries

@kingrat Thank you for your service!

Do you feel like justice was served?

@kingrat @scott So do Amazon shoppers

@kingrat I guess paper recyclables can be gathered in a paper bag, however?

For several months I was annoyed that SFPL doesn’t seem to have Robert’s Rules of Order in ebook form and then today I realized it’s public domain.

But then why doesn’t SFPL have dozens of ebook copies to lend?

@annika @gallego There was a Lancer TTRPG presence at xoxofest?

@scott I'm often one of your disappointments—both vehicles aspire to a science fiction world of wonders that is quite alluring, so I feel a frisson whenever I see one.

The reality of their science fiction futures seems more dystopian than what they try to signify, but I think in US culture we're wired to dislike the village/agrarian alternatives, too (which I only now realized while writing this)

@tito_swineflu I always wonder whether such assertions include the cost of engineers who can manage running their own hardware plus the extra costs and challenges of redundancy
