@lain yeah just keep joking like this and Garfield will become a God of the post-apocalyptic world
cat aspect: pro-locality, pro-patriotism, pro-food security, anti-rodent "find a home and stay there"
fat aspect: pro-food security, abundance "have a lot of the necessities"
lasagna aspect: pro-luxury, anti-lactose-intolerant "have good things and avoid people who are incompatible with good things"
sad aspect: pro-seriousness, anti-illusion "don't follow people who promise a utopia"
sleep aspect: anti-avarice, anti-exploitation "don't work 24/7. stop and enjoy things"
hopefully the dog abuse and "orange cat? like orange man?" don't make it into the mix -

Pippa: buy a real bed. Just buy one. A real mattress and a frame.

people need like 20 hours of guided TikTok instruction and a Discord helpline in order to understand that prior generations settled on certain technologies for lots of good reasons. -

@coolboymew and if you want to complain about their behavior later, #2 is what I'd focus on. They should know you well enough to know that you wouldn't be shouting at them without a really good reason.
This reminds me of a case where my family split up at a movie theater to watch different movies. I went to one, my sister to another, and my parents to a third. When I came out, I checked on my sister and found that her movie had ended already, but I didn't find her in the theater's entry area where we should've met up. I thought she might've wandered off and checked just outside, and gradually I panicked: I thought she'd been kidnapped. I checked the theater multiple times, I was running through the park that we were in, and later I got to back to the theater to find my sister and our parents waiting for me. I went from a 4x heartrate to a 1x heartrate in an instant, I was overcome with relief--and then my mom gave me a angry harangue, because while I'd been panicking about my sister being kidnapped, they were going through the same experience as I had, about me.
And she dressed me down similarly to how your dad reacted: it was supposedly *wrong* for me to have desperately tried to look around for my sister. I should have done *nothing*, just sat there and waited. That was frustrating enough that I occasionally remember it and seethe all over again. -

@coolboymew Suppose you'd averted the glass table disaster by shoving your mom away from the table, and so hard she fell down the stairs and seriously hurt herself anyway. In such a case you'd agree that you were in the wrong even though none of the facts about the glass table change. Therefore, the disagreement is not about the table - despite your dad's reflexive-sounding support for glass injuries - but about how bad your preventative actions were. What I imagine is the case is just: your parents don't like you yelling angrily at them. That's easy to understand, right? Even if you were unrelated, a grown man's yelling puts other people on edge.
Maybe if you'd cooled down faster once the table was definitely not getting sit on, they wouldn't have reacted so badly. Maybe if you'd *sternly* said "mom don't sit there" instead of yelling, they would've reacted better. Or not: parents also don't like stern commands from their children.
But, mainly, your parents should
1. have been more mature, since they literally are more mature
2. know *you* well enough to know that if you're shouting it's because there's a serious problem that they should be aware of. You're not a stranger that's yelling at them!
3. have calmed down faster once the problem was apparent. At least be calm enough not to reprimand you for <<<trying to save your mom from a serious injury>>> as such. A minor complaint like "you didn't have to yell", or "you shouldn't stayed so angry after yelling", that'd be less frustrating to receive. -

@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew nah they should be taunted, not just listened to.
Try this: "hey, you've noticed that Marvel and DC have started simplifying costumes to make them easier to cosplay. Isn't it funny how people would rather put incredible amounts of effort into looking like a well-written character, and ignore this invitation to put in almost no work to look like a sack of shit?" -

@ArdainianRight @olmitch I don't think it's a blindness for the bad representation, but an appreciation of it. If you hate your father, then you prefer to be exposed to what your father would protect you from. -

@ArdainianRight @olmitch these are the same people that took the monster from Stephen King's "It" as their mascot. There is actually nothing weird at all about Cartoon Network using Him this way. -

@ArdainianRight @Xenophon in my preteens I had occasional bouts of intrusive thoughts about (literal) shit. It was just some kind of mental vandalism, part of my brain messing with me by showing me images I'd find disgusting.
I suppressed those thoughts until I stopped having them. But today it'd be possible to
1. hear that suppressing stuff is BAD and you shouldn't do that
2. very easily find some kind of scatsexual community
3. be groomed by people would say "oh yeah you're definitely a level 1 poop acolyte in the making. We'll help you level up!"
4. be immersed in an illusion that this is a real thing that people really do, despite 100% of the community only spending a few hours a week on a fetish that they're only pretending is an entire way of life
i.e., literally the same thing as transgenderism -

@xianc78 @ArdainianRight mod_security isn't a solution for 60Gbit/s of garbage hitting a <60Gbit/s pipe, and even if the pipe's large enough the data center isn't going to appreciate that. mod_security is a solution for layer 7 attacks that rely on the target site being incredibly inefficient -

@SnugSmug there's a joke here about the CIA agent that trained his whole life to infiltrate some community, only to be *immediately* sussed out as a spy because he was black.

@idea_enjoyer @sickburnbro
>Owen was happy about the movie
Owen's first sentence is not celebratory. He's mocking people for being happy about that. The movie being successful is the same kind of activism as taking pictures of private jets at global warming meetings. It is inaction that feels like a slam dunk. -

@idea_enjoyer @sickburnbro people who weep at the first sign of a victory are always wrong. Victories are victories. They're actually very moralizing. Just by showing that it's possible to put films in theaters that aren't complete poison, more people will want to try to do that. There are literally no negatives at all with people talking about a child trafficking movie apart from doomer storytelling. -

@Boomerman @sickburnbro what's a more fertile ground for a movie about sex trafficking in LA?
a. there are no movies about sex trafficking in theaters
b. there is one movie about sex trafficking in theaters and it did these numbers that you can budget against -

@ArdainianRight I feel like free speech in general is like Roman ruins. It's still around, we still use it, but it's a product of an erased people and any maintenance will be in the direction of changing it drastically. What gave me this thought specifically is someone's proposal to burn the Koran to own the libs: that's not going to own the libs, that's going to lead to blasphemy laws, because the only defenders of free speech permitted in the public square are those who already support blasphemy laws for issues like the Holocaust, FBI stats, etc.
The open internet and its protocols are another Roman ruin. Anyone can escape from social media hell to post their own content on their own website? Not until
1. you gets DDOSed
2. cloudflare refuses to protect you
3. the EFF refuses to call cloudflare out on not protecting you
4. all other DDOS mitigators do likewise
5. if your datacenter doesn't kick you, your datacenter's peers do
6. if you flee to tor or similar, the devs start updating the relays to fight you
