  • It's a shame, too. If "states rights" ended up being the fatal flaw in a neo-Confederate coup attempt, that would be just desserts.

  • In a frittata, I can probably go six ish at a guess. Just fried on toast, assuming they're the big ones I'm just having two.

  • I remember the moment I realised my fancy new Walkman could read data CD-Rs and I could fit all my mp3s into one 700mb disc. I felt insane, majestic, limitless.

  • It's difficult not to mouth off, but perhaps worth the effort.

    My 6yo will look for an object for approximately 0.25 seconds before yelling to ask where it is. Sometimes he can't even spot things I'm pointing directly at.

    Other times I'm taken off guard by his quick wit or long memory.

    Wisdom always comes at a cost. We should not shame those who are still saving up for the down payment.

  • I was writing in the midst of a morning torpor, and could not think how to put such a fine point on it. You're spot on.

  • I don't want to discourage you, she seems like a worthy candidate. It's this "even if they did nothing" talk that grabs me. The average dem voter is so accustomed to weakness that we're starting to sound like a battered partner.

  • You're not wrong. I didn't have a good solution for this, so about 4 years ago I emigrated.

    Mind you, the UK is no slouch in the xenophobia department, but some extra distance between my family and the broligarchy has done us good.

  • It's the alienation of modern living. Helping and getting help from perfect strangers is the most natural thing in the world for humans. We get a buzz off the altruism. They say the kindest thing you can do for someone is to accept their help.

    In this modern society we've created there's this artificial sense that there's no social fabric, only stranger danger and it's bullshit. 97% of everyone is basically a good person being buffeted about by situational factors, so maybe it's hard to see that they're good. Just hard enough that you're never sure if you're seeing one of those 1 in 40 people who happen to be a pure monster.

    The scariest threat is an ambiguous one, so it's not hard to see why we're like this - but it's much better for you and society if you can find a way to trust and lend a hand with each other. Hell, some of them will even tell you their name and remember you next time. Sooner or later, you've made a friend.

    There's always the rare actually horrible person out there to be aware of, but most of us are basically fine I think.

  • It's not federated, but something like BookStack could be an option for self-hosted collaboration.
