God I love contronyms. Strike is also a fun one because it means to hit and also to miss.

I wish PSL would contact me a bit more tbh. I signed up for membership a few months ago and the only correspondence I’ve received was a text message asking for my address to send me materials which haven’t come in yet. Maybe I’ll reach back out to them since, up until this thread, I assumed it was normal to move a bit slow.
If your food, water, healthcare, housing, etc weren’t paywalled, doing what you love wouldn’t need to be commodified*. If people work on life saving vaccines, they shouldn’t have to worry about how they will pay for things they need. The builder that builds the house of the person developing vaccines shouldn’t have to worry about how they will pay for the things they need. The person cutting lumber for the builder shouldn’t have to worry about how they will pay for the things they need.
*the caveat here is that the work either has to be deemed by society to be necessary work or that this is the only work you’re able to do or if “the thing you love” isn’t writing think pieces trying to destroy this system of de-commodification.
Yeah my ideal scenario is something NFC based. I have a bunch of games across a bunch of launchers and emulators and I always get the ADHD issue where I forget I have certain games if I don’t see them. Little NFC cards with game box art printed to it would be amazing for this.
Man, when I predicted that libs will suddenly see Palestine as an issue now that Trump is in office, I didn’t fully realize that they’d use the fact that they purposefully buried their heads in the sand as proof things were better back then.
Hope that the work we do will over time become the shade of a tree our grandkids will be able to enjoy.
Whoops, I just double checked and I was mistaken. Ken Liu was the person whose story pantheon was based on (though it does look like he helped translate some of Cixin Liu’s works just based on the thumbnail of the post alone)
~~I’ve been interested in this author after I found out the show Pantheon, which I really liked, was based on his other works~~. (Wrong author) I haven’t had a chance to check out the three body problem, but I intend to soon.
Yeah I’m currently on sequoia. Setting it up was pretty obnoxious from what I remember. I had to do it 3 times before my computer recognized it, but if you follow directions better than me (and if your specific tablet is supported), you should be good! If you have a friend on a newer version of Mac OS, see if you can test on their computer before upgrading your own since it might be very difficult to downgrade.
I've had pretty good results using Connect My Tablet (app store link) to keep my Intuos 3 working on my M3 MBP.

You know how geese fly in a “v” shaped pattern in the sky? One side of the “v” is usually longer than the other. The reason for that is that there’s more geese on that side.
