A parallel sentiment I've noticed is DSA members in labor-organizing focused spaces stating their goal is to "help labor." We are labor! We're not apart from it, we're trying to help ourselves!

I've noticed that mutual aid efforts in an org often focus on directing aid outside the organization, essentially operating as a charity. Additionally, many leftist orgs are quite small and could benefit from additional membership.

I'm wondering if it might be better for a mutual aid org to focus its aid efforts internally? It is mutual aid after all. Please understand, I recognize that helping one's community is worthwhile, but an org focusing aid internally materially benefits the self-interest of its members. If one sees material benefit to joining a group surely they're more likely to join?

Am I off base here? Seems like an idea worth developing.

yeah it's a wild journey discovering that the $pace shit-le sucked, actually.

it's design is very similar to that of the currently operating X-37, so it should be fine. it has neither of the US Space Shuttle's fatal flaws.

It will be hilarious if China builds the Space-Shuttle-That-Should-Have-Been, rather than the abomination that NASA was forced to build. Scale it up & put this on top of a reusable booster and you have a fully reusable system like SpaceX is currently testing.

EDIT: Ah I see this is small in scale, like X-37. Would love to see it reach the size of Dreamchaser or bigger.

 

Topical!

it's really fucking with me that neither axis follows a progressive ordering so I'm going to post a fixed (debugged) version. EDIT: lmao this is the most fucked up, inconsistent alignment chart I've seen. here it is fixed:

everything -> sometimes -> nothing

know -> not sure -> don't know

 

The full game is still yet to come. The project's intent is turn the Episode 3 story outline released by Mark Liadlaw (Epistle 3) into a game, resolving the cliffhanger ending of Half-Life 2: Episode 2.

the reverse (i'm using mathematical inverse here) of "Pull Pot" is "Push Plate"

this is a good point, but the abrupt change twice per year is harmful regardless of which ends up being the permanent time.

1 / (Pol Pot) = Push Plate

yeah this happened to me too, but at least i busted

that's totally reasonable. thinking about philosophy helped me grow a lot as a person as I unlearned YEC and learned the true history of the world so it's stuck with me shrug-outta-hecks

Sincerely, unironically, I love that for you.

religion had a big impact on my life without my consent so I have strong feelings about it. fortunately it doesn't come up much so I can also just vibe and not care most of the time.
