Almost a decade ago a random gal walking down the street with her friends told me that she liked my boots.

Now I don't hold back compliments cuz as long as it's clear there's no creepy strings attached, it doesn't hurt and it can make someone's day :)

it feels like old reddit

As someone who exclusively used old.reddit.com, this isn't actually a bad thing.

Also apps for the mobile experience, and I want to say alexandrite for the desktop experience?

Along these lines, if anyone craving Altoids sours of yesteryear, cracker barrel actually sells the spiritual successor.

This is adjacent, but it's worth pointing out that framework has recently started selling risc-v motherboards for their laptops for adventurous folks.

Reality has a left leaning bias. Immigrants have largely become normalized, so they need something else to scrape goat.

They keep you fighting a culture war so you don't fight a class war.

It's definitely worth pointing out that some styles have taken over 20 years to cycle back in, so I also definitely think the former is more practical haha

Fair enough. I made a wrong assumption about where you came from and was inappropriately hostile, my apologies. Hope you have a good weekend!

...yeah afaik there's pretty good evidence that trans folks wouldn't be culturally eliminated under the Biden administration. Do you disagree with that assumption?

And you've misunderstood me. I don't care that you voted third party. As I mentioned, in some contexts that could be viewed as admirable. I'm not trying to convince you to vote Democrat.

Just don't puff out your chest about having clean hands when, given the single most pronounced choice we have in determining government for the next cycle, you prioritized trying to maintain a clean conscience over keeping Trump out of the white house.

How about the start of two genocides?

You CAN argue that, but could you look yourself in the mirror and say that's a good faith argument when you don't know how I voted for the last 50 years? That's a good sign that your argument is simply deflection, by making up a strawman you're hoping to avoid admitting that you had a role in getting trump elected. Your comment here indicates that you know you played a part, but I agree with you, the Democratic party put up a shit candidate and played a much larger part. My heart fell when Kamala indicated no policy changes in Palestine.

However, folks who ignored the effects of fptp voting to vote (or abstain) for the sake of their conscience do not have their hands clean of all of this. In seeking to protest a genocide, they have invited the start of a second genocide on our fellow citizens, as well as accelerated the original genocide they were protesting. These effects could've been seen from a million miles away.

It strikes me as privileged to be able to ignore the predictable real world effects of a decision, in the name of maintaining a clean conscience. Sure, maybe in a few voting cycles, the vote made a difference. I hope so, but I don't think we've ever seen it happen historically. However, generally speaking, do not boast that your hands are clean of the trump administrations actions if your decisions (or lack of) in this election made it more likely for him to be elected. They are simply are not.

Oh I didn't say that.

I just find it amusing when folks claim that their conscience and hands are clean when they played a part in getting trump elected.

It was a decision telling of priorities, and sending a message, or maintaining a clear conscience, was likely deemed more important than the ramifications a trump presidency. That's why I mentioned the ivory tower - I assumed that you thought you weren't going to be too affected by a trump presidency? Either that, or you wanted to maintain a clean conscious despite that? The latter is admirable in it's own way, but i believe less likely when looking at entire populations.

This is prime "enlightened third party voter" meme material right here.

Must be nice in that ivory tower.

Hello fellow neutral zoner

Great, and I absolutely love scryfall, but in the name of sustainability, how do they get funded?

It sounds like you've found something that works for you, but if you're interested in trying other things obsidian stores and renders in plain markdown, and also has a vim mode

Hey but props to them for their swift action.

Thank you kindly!

I have no clue, I'm more utilitarian than fancy. I've tried fountain pens but found them to be too high maintenance. If it means anything, my second favorite pen is probably a G2.

The f701 is 8 bucks, a space pen refill is another 9 dollars or so.

So for 20 bucks you have a stainless steel pen that will last forever, while writing in damn near all conditions. Looks snazzy enough to trigger the "I better not leave this" for me, too.
