When you see someone appealing to "common sense" when defending prejudice/bigotry, they're encouraging people to suspend thought or criticism that might challenge prejudice, and instead, retreat unthinkingly to the comfortable inertia of the social norms which establish the prejudice in question.

"Common sense" is a thought-stopping phrase and concept. It is the same as saying, "Just go with cultural traditions which support prejudice and oppression because those are familiar and comfortable."

@hazelweakly
I’m a bad person with a short temper, who occasionally realizes his anger should be turned on himself.

But thank you for your kindness.

@grimalkina But also now as the opportunity (and as the saying goes) "What are you going to do about it now that you know this is the case?"

So positively I mean "now we know, we have the opportunity to solve it among ourselves / wait a few more / talk meantime"

BUT from 1000 of these conversations - very few want this and becomes the same as what many are complaining about (whatever it is and they don't talk deeper or audio chat more humanly).

So without antagonism, please prove me wrong !

➡️ 1st thing is to reply
➡️ 2nd thing is to audio chat about it with link and just try and let the Fediverse know my way s and suggestions work (safer open software which is like Zoom)

I can given you the easiest chat link in the world
-3 clicks, 2mins and you're chatting!
- no install
- no account / no reg nothing.

I don't even want your real name.

audio chats are for the way and speed... but yeah even text is 'too hard' for people and sticking to the same thing hard (unless it's hammering the Trump or Musk hashtag which shows with some direction they can stick to something!)

If you forget yourself here and now then you can feel less angry Cat as you might be similar to the rest (in some way, although I know you and many are unique here but still we need each other to keep in touch and nudge it seems).

Make sense...?

Said with love peace solidarity

I'm honestly really fucking angry I don't see anyone in tech talking about this, ever.

@hazelweakly Ok

I'm in love with this short post
(because I've also been saying it for all my life and it's short enough for those that need)

Can we (all that agree) do an audio meet up using a simple browser chat ? (1min to get it, no account, nothing but browser needed!)

Jitisi example

meet.nadeko.net/yourchatroom12

Seriously - like to keep talking about this weekly monthly and snowball people EVEN IF you can't make the 2nd one -

I can host (semi-manage) chats and show up ! ( audio only is ok with me, priority is to see if anyone else is out there - ok I see the people below

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are

1. Human communication
2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

Keep scrollin scrollin ?
What about 2-way talkin talkin ?

Teamwork as a visual...

THIS IS HOW WE CAN WORK!

@inthehands

Totally agree. This is why I argue for "non-autistic" in papers to describe research participants who are... not autistic, but could be unusual in loads of ways we didn't measure.

@inthehands @mmasnick Ok I'm with you

Without reading much (yes I know, maybe I will but to write you and not forget...) I believe we have to change the story to us (focus on something else like friend-making online while those people continue to do the same which eventually together will solve)

There's a difference between spreading their shit and over-identifying their method, and instead creating our own solution (increasing trust, risking in the right way, alternative currency, talking with the right people, working on whatever talent we have).

I'm writing because even if I might be wrong the context you're writing, I can't be wrong in the focus that nearly nobody is doing as a social movement (because frankly it's too painful / discomforting for them to audio chat with others AS THE and keep pushing personally so they wait for scale or state solution - noooo)... and from our own that all things open out like minesweeper game - you can open and complete things with more people and even mark those that are bad in a healthy way)...

We know the bad external far-away things, just have to focus on the good (people) 1 by 1 that are willing and accessible - to discovering more which eventually bring us all fruits 🟠 :raspberrypi: 🍌 🎃 - that is what I've done most of my life and it is getting easier

So let's talk.... and accept the weird too - they usually have a point if we care to discover, one by one or small groups... accept the energy people have and make with it....

If you care, that's the way (there's too much doing of the one-way informing - don't worry plenty don't care so let's focus / collect those who do like me)...

❓get it ❓try audio chat ❓more personal contact❓ ask ?

Enough rich-people bashing etc... at least they have a game between them, I feel we don't and need to come out of victim-modes and do whatever we can WITH each other, not moan alone... (again pardon the context of your post but I thought it better to write and see if I get any response else that is a good indicator of the one-way-ism we're suffering).

Peace, waiting for any reply even fast

@grishka

@kitkat_blue

or any one of these days plan a time... can't forget this one...

More info in this thread / my latest post,,, but this post also says enough to start working on this...

Mast Alternative money

@dansup CONGRATS - Next level up I think is about getting people to see that all money is a devaluing mousetrap, or there is a better pot to piss in.

In other words using less what abuses us, and using more what is like the software we use...

Money was 'given' as debt / created to oppress and devalue people... it's not a coincidence that all states copy the same template despite being smoetimes wildly different in traditions and culture... the culture of money is a monopoly to create devaluation in the power they give (and can take it away using %'s and regulators).

Time to think about our own Currency as the next level up / tool which will OPEN all other other "tech-tree" levels of the game between people in different ways (people using / abusing money too much means we need something else).

I can help develop something p2p-ish where we keep our own values with more like-minded people... to work for us overall not band and States who skim money from every transaction or remotely attack currency by adding to the pool to devalue it, speculate and gamble while adjusting rates all the while...

Another currency between the people.... Let's talk...

@Dan_Ramos Ok what's the model of this? Good to say / spread / buy!

@madcollector I was going to say "It's better to write at least one line about the video is about" but then I tried to play is and no idea how I'd describe it !

"Maybe a lady with fire" would be enough of a indicator! :) :nes_fire: (:

@lowqualityfacts There's something about this battery ratio hat might not bit far from reality now - i.e. you still need the same batteries / energy to throw away but it's just bigger batteries (but maybe same ratio.... to a battery and throw things away eventually!)
