@Muddobbers @dangillmor I think it's simpler that that. It's not the owners behind this, it's the writers. The journalists do not get fellated and lionized here the way they do on the corporate social media sites. They do not get the immediate elevated status they have come to believe they deserve, just for publishing listicle round-ups of "here's what people are saying on twitter" and calling that writing. Here, they're just punters. So this does not exist.

It's just ego.

Has anyone tied to map out the Severed floor? There are lots of continuous shots of running down those hallways, and D&D has trained 3 generations with graph paper, right?

The evils of the boss/worker relationship aren't just wealth, it's the ability of the boss to take from the worker. Maybe they make you dress up however they prefer, maybe they make you perform humiliating begging rituals to get time off to care for your kids, maybe they make you scared to speak up when you know something is unsafe or morally wrong, maybe they make you work under constant surveillance, maybe they make you do things you're pretty sure are illegal.

It's not wealth, it's hierarchy.

Sono uscita dalla scuola da anni ormai, ma di tutto quello che ha detto di voler introdurre Valditara mi ricordo di averne fatta la maggior parte, inclusa la Bibbia (perché è *ovvio* che unə insegnante ti racconterà le storie della Bibbia se quelle hanno influenzato l'opera che ti ha messo sotto al naso) e il latino alle medie.

E questo mi sembra il problema. Sono indicazioni che nascono vecchie, evidenziano cose che si fanno già e non provano minimamente a espandere gli orizzonti.

Last August, Lynch (who had emphysema) said he might never direct again because of the "let it rip" covid unmitigation strategies adopted by governments everywhere.

Wondering how many mourners would willingly, and without prompting, wear a mask around people suffering from Long Covid, respiratory illnesses, or other immune dysfunction, out of respect for their struggle, instead of placing the entire burden on vulnerable disabled people.

Given Proton Mail’s fashiness coming out of the woodwork, lots of folks are looking at switching away — but they have a reasonable concern: Aren’t Proton Mail’s privacy features special, different from a normal mail provider?

AFAICT, the answer is yes in •theory•, but you aren’t giving up that much in •practice•.

Short 🧵 surfacing notes I put in a reply — and likely containing inaccurations about Proton Mail, so please correct me if you have better info!
