@dimpase Certainly -- I feel like anyone who has spent minutes in GUM looking for the other shoe in a pair would be able to attest -- but nobody came to your house to take away your PC because it was the Means of Production.

@Loki_Leigh I feel like this isn't even the first time I've heard this story about K-Town. All's well that ends well though :)

@karen @waifu hivemind??

@waifu with soft plastics like that, if you trust yourself to take it apart, you can clean it with a baking soda paste scrub. but I wouldn't do it still attached since baking soda in the moving parts is no good

@Shonalika I think this to myself every time I scroll from Large to Medium buying compression shirts, and regret it about an hour into wearing them

@greg yeah, I'm not saying you're wrong, generally, there's a reason that one was interesting and different

@greg was Life Is Strange a self-insert story for straight guys going through their teenage bisexual girl phase?

@kai blessed post

Their argument fails to distinguish between "private property" as the result of alienated labor, and "personal property" which, in the Marxist sense, actually encompasses labor controlling its means of production nearly. I call this one the "communists are coming for your paintbrush" argument.

I was writing a reply to some free software guy who made a "communists are coming for your toothbrush" argument about PCs on the public timeline, but the web view crashed and I lost it. If anyone sees the post in question, feel free to tag me in for some "free as in free beer" leftist education

@gewt feel better soon :<

There's a lot about The Way Things Are that sucks. But I'm not a mouthpiece for any kind of underprivileged person. As long as I'm not visibly queer I'm the spitting image of privilege. You don't need more activists like me. You need people like me helping people get on and stay on their feet in a world that makes it hard to live as yourself. So that's what I'll do.

Hey if I got my DNA sequenced like 9 years ago and want to look at my data for a specific mutation is there an inexpensive way to do that

Trying to figure out if it's worth shelling out for a glycogen storage disease test by looking at the data myself

@maenad being excited to meet someone at a convention only to have them recognize me from a paper the first time was surreal

one day when one of my books or albums does blow up, my paper thin Internet (musician/author) persona will gather the clout, and I will be free to live out the rest of my life like a normal person
