With the new Laboratory room, you can pop a second research station next to the portal, bookend with doors, and voila, 25% faster research (lit workspace+ laboratory).

OK letโ€™s talk about That Op-ed. The one that insisted not only that privacy is dangerous, but that not affirmatively building surveillance into communication tools is a radical ideological position.

Dunking on the op-edโ€™s arguments is easy. Theyโ€™re SHALLOW. And dunk many have, often with the gentleness of a professor grading a draft essay from a student they didnโ€™t want to completely discourage. Iโ€™ll direct you to the great threads from others...

Oxygen Not Included gampeplay 

I don't feel as strongly about quote posts as I did in 2018. Personally, I am not a fan, but there is clearly a lot of demand for it. We're considering it.

Today insulin is capped at $35 for those on Medicare. Democrats unanimously voted for this, yet so-called "pro life" Republicans unanimously opposed.

There are MILLIONS of people w/diabetes too young for Medicare.
Insulin needs to be free & accessible for ALL. #MakeInsulinFree

If you're driving, the Roadtrippers app has some nice crowdsourced info re: attractions & sight seeing on your route. I use it for route planning. I can't vouch for all their data policies, but they use MapBox instead of Google Maps.

My political ideals are closest to nonviolent anarchism. But I recognize that few westerners are willing to relinquish property. I don't think distributism is a magic bullet for inequity. But it might be progress?

@drifthood
Sure, I wasn't proposing an ideal (not even close tbh), but rather a smaller change. One that allows folks to keep their private property, while also distributing power downward.

@ajroach42
There is a theoretical form of capitalism called "distributism" which is basically this same idea: many small organizations working together is more resilient than a small number of behemoths.

I heard about it from GK Chesterton fans some years ago. I'm not sure of its origins, or if it has ever been practiced for real.

Acceptance is overrated and keeps you from focusing on revenge.

Also, โ€œIf you are harmed in a way that can never be fully repaired, you are never obligated to forgive. โ€ฆ Trauma? Never.โ€

@TheRaDR
This conversation was so what I needed to hear right now. Especially: "Sometimes forgiveness is wishing that rotten S.O.B. peace, and getting along with your life." (Weber? I think I heard as the citation?)

We donโ€™t really know how to fix harm.
We ask folks whoโ€™ve been wronged to forgive but rarely ask wrongdoers to repair.
