This is NOT the kind of thing I want to see when I open an otherwise perfectly functional menu.

I use software in order to be productive, not to get distracted!

"this leaves many white people open to a gross misunderstanding. Most of our encounters with black people are on “white turf” where black people present not as they are, but as they know we wish them to be – quiet, polite, humble, generous and always smiling. Paradoxically, most of our encounters with black people from a distance – through media or external observation – are of black people who are loud, assertive, self-possessed, proud and sometimes angry. "+

"I can be my white self when I encounter black people, aware that if anyone is going to have to adjust their behavior, it will not be me. They must make me comfortable.
This reality is central to our present racial divides. Those black people who bravely present as themselves often face censure, threat and attack. Therefore, most black people continue to operate in two worlds, of which only one allows them to be genuine. "

today on the hacker news variety show: in response to a confirmed report of a tenured academic being shitty and discriminatory in a career-limiting way because he does not personally like someone, let’s all:
• talk about the nature of free will
• blame the victim
• bikeshed whether blacklisting is really blacklisting

Why libraries are the greatest places on earth:

- books
- free!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- quiet, so quiet, so peaceful is heaven
- people leave you alone
- also movies and computers and things
- staff literally know everything and want you to know everything thanks
- you can stay the whole time they're open and not have to pay anything at all
- you can get lost in the big ones and that's cool
- mmm smells of wisdom

the bourgeois push the narrative that "no-one will work for free" (food, housing, leisure, infrastucture by and for workers/dependents = "for free") because they won't lift a fucking finger for anything that won't make them a profit. fuck that. selfishness isn't "human nature," it's a bourgeois class value

instead of "sir/madam", consider "traveller"

- gender neutral
- fun to say
- acknowledges the endless journey of the soul
- makes you feel like a medieval tavernkeep
- you absolutely can't risk misgendering a wandering swordmaster
