I think we've all walked by a giant important point.

These nearly-all-male network state fans have such compelling ideas that women outside their immediate circles would rather Xerox "bits of their bodies" than engage with those ideas. Their outreach "embassy" attracts even fewer women every day. Possibly even an average number rounding to zero.

Right now it seems like their polities will be remembered in the same religious studies lessons that teach about the Shakers.

This reminds me of the reaction when I point out that to non-native English speakers that Canadian students may not have had as much English grammar instructions as they did.

Also this brought to mind all those times I've been taken to task about my own phrasing.

Gatekept by non-readers indeed.

Even just saying it was mescaline would help it make more sense.

People who seem impressive until you listen to their ideas are a real theme around here.

A really good lesson on offline backups of things like issue trackers, though.

I know that crowd's politics are ultra-reactionary, and yet it's still fascinating just how few ideas the tech revanchists have that aren't "this thing is bad and should be rolled back". Do they have any ideas developed from socially acceptable principle at all?

Is this stuff deliberately written to be word salad?

So pretty much like playing Hexen 2 on a P100 in 1997 huh.
