  • There’s a huge difference between hating an individual, and wanting the rule of law respected, I think. What’s going on now is hatred and destruction, which abuses the name of the law. But saying, “this person is self-evidently in this place illegally, they should be tried and ejected”, is not hateful. You can respect a person while saying they shouldn’t be in a place.



  • I use it occasionally. The problem is, most of my communities are on Discord. Plus, rooms not being permanent on the server means that bots have to be hosted by someone, plus there’s a severe lack of effective logging.

    Basically, all the problems that later chat programs solve, I keep missing on IRC. I want persistent rooms. I want federation & bridging between servers. I need trustworthy remote logs. Since I know a lot of that has been handled client-side, I don’t understand why it can’t be implemented server-side with IRCv4 or whatever is next.














  • First, you’re not alone. Second, it’s almost three years out from my Dad’s passing - the dreams are rare now, but still there. A month is no time at all to process. When you get past the probate (if you need to), and close the estate, that’s when you stop just endlessly grieving and start healing and moving forward.

    My suggestion? Fight the depression and other stuff holding you back. Form new memories, physical and social ones. Go hiking on new trails. Join a sport. Join an in-person RPG group. Do new things. Meet new people.

    By giving your brain more new stuff to deal with, you’ll have less time to dream about her.


  • I doubt that America as we know it can survive, period. There needs to be a change - whether that’s about wealth classes, political beliefs, or various -isms. We can’t use a system that was intentionally broken to fix things. The words of slavers from 250 years ago are too weak. The way that things have developed across the regions of this massive, unwieldy, federation needs amendment.

    Unfortunately, right now the pendulum is swinging hard in one direction. There’s no meaningful fighters on the other side. So us little people have to cling to hope - and that hope is increasingly looking like it has to come from force, and from the barrel of a gun.
