things we don't think twice about now that our successors will one day look as monstrous
Hm. Wrt slavers, I think we can either excuse them because of moral relativism, or not, and say they should have known better.
Do you think we ought not to be excused for our follies on this principle?
Or maybe we should know better about certain things, making our behaviors inexcusable. Then I would wonder what these are as well.

I didnt know about a lot of these things.
As for burgers I prefer them well done, but everyone should be able to have the cchoice. I'm more concerned about getting sold some cloned beef nonsense.
going to jail for buying raw milk
I heard the way around this is to buy/sell "cow shares."
someone breaks into your house and you go to jail for defending yourself
Outrageous.
Seems like, as for most countries, the solution is in organizing private citidels. People coordinate resistance much better in small groups.
Anyway, thanks for all the contribution you've made for the space.

aha! of course, isn't that why we are all here!? (yea, yea -- pay2post, I get it Darth.)
I am wondering whether there is a potential synergy to be had with some burgeoning talent who wants to grow their personal brand.

I took the idea of my book on a coffee date
I really like this framing. First dates have a way of setting off so many mental fireworks.1 I will try this over the holidays.
It's good to hear other people share my sometimes-lukewarm relationship with writing. Having external bosses can be a damned good motivator, as you alluded to.
I do get quite a bit from leaving the ideas to stew with negative capability, though, while I'm pulled by the reins of my life obligations.

Footnotes

  1. these are the questions I imagine I might ask myself: Does the book like this place? Should I ask the book about its past? Should I ask it out again? Am I being awkward? What if the book and I don't get along? What if the book gets away? is the book thinking about me now? ↩

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @billytheked 9 Dec \ on: Do you prefer ebooks over books? BooksAndArticles
I prefer paper. But when I don't have paper, I usually rip it from offline and stick it on an old kobo. djazz.se is a good tool for getting ebooks onto your ereader. Reading from any screen irks me, but eink is tolerable.

This was really depressing to read:
Over a fifth of people (22.9%) who died by euthanasia in Canada in 2024 had "isolation or loneliness" recorded by a medical practitioner in their application for euthanasia. Significantly, 44.7% of those on Track 2, whose deaths were not reasonably foreseeable, experienced isolation or loneliness.
The total number of people who died by euthanasia under Track 2 increased by 17.12% from 625 in 2023 to 732 in 2024.
