@eris I wonder if I'd have this perspective if I hadn't lived my whole life in the deep south. I suspect not. you can't run solo forever waiting for the perfect allies to show up.

@eris people in social justice orgs that actually do things out in the material world are actually pretty good at meeting people where they're at, especially relative to the online discourse machine. after all, ya can't build solidarity by alienating everybody

@eris same! Its a little tricky to make the economics work but I think any promoter who actually cares about making a sober space can make it happen at least monthly.

@SuperDicq you're totally correct on that front. even stuff like gran turismo 5 that had optional online stuff feels a little limited. I couldn't play ps3 online until a couple years after I got it, so most of my experience with the system was offline

@SuperDicq @lyza I feel this in some ways, but it's also pretty smooth to play ps3 games that didn't have network features off of the hard drive or a network share. it felt like a standard retro experience when I played time and eternity, and I bought this console new in 09!

@killyourfm and that number gets a little higher every month

@natalie wait what should you use then

idea: urban fantasy setting where magic is real but only accessible via phone phreaking

you either die a hero or start just using ubuntu on purpose

@DoctorDeathray @ajroach42 @RussSharek @phwolfe940 @djsundog @connor_dylan @CaptainUnderpants @TaxDan @Ethancdavenport @jess this is so fucking cool

oh, you're trying to connect two different kinds of magic?

you're gonna need an abracadaptor

the fucking gas pump played a cryptocurrency ad. I hate it here.
