@evan that's a huge gap between twice a week and daily or more!
5-6 times/week. Basically every breakfast except weekends.

I think they mean "analog computers" here, not chips lol

@kate @mekkaokereke @KarenWyld it might not be what we'd hope, but defacto this place may end up being a channel for those who work in tech and can't stomach the Kool ade

@zens @JasonTrue Jason was in the same emigration wave as me from the bad place. Some came before, some came after, but it was easier to find people who plunged around the same time.

My younger kid has been learning drums for a couple of years. Within weeks of starting, he was watching Moffett Youtubes.
Dude's amazing.

@aral
I've been biting my tongue for fear of appearing centrist on this issue.
Here's what gets me:
It is possible to accept that yes, Trump would be worse for Gaza, yes it is a two party system so on voting day it's best to hold your nose and vote Harris..... AND to understand that voting is sometimes less important than street power, and that pressure before the election is worth much more than after, so we have to hold their feet to the fire NOW.

Sometimes the timeline just lines up perfectly

@tokyo_0 The Thursday suggestion is smart though and I will have a think about how to use that idea 👍

@tokyo_0 No he is quite far behind on the whole impulse control thing.

Tentatively set Mr. 13's Discord time to unlimited.

One. It was one.

@tokyo_0 Yeah good frame thanks. It's my awareness that it's not malice that's making me feel bad every time I judge them, whereas I should probably just be like "I shouldn't judge you, but I am".

What's a Buddhist exercise for forbearance around people who just aren't very competent at life

Warning, the bleak reality of being trapped in disaster capitalism will drag you down and crush you

Dominant result for #Putin in the #Russia election - he literally buried the opposition here.

It's both awful and dehumanising.
One can't refuse completely to participate, but every interaction with the shitshow leaves me feeling angry and complicit.
