    While I also occasionally suffer from the regular FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), I mainly suffer from KIMO (Know I’m Missing Out) about the following behaviors:
    - Belonging to a cult, whether it’s religious, sports or political.
    - Believing individual words have any inherent power.
    - Enjoying recreational drugs, including alcohol, smoking and coffee.

    And I feel it makes it harder for me to find a meaning for my life given I’m not experiencing the full range of behaviors it offers. 🤔

    @Brian Ó I expect it to last until my dying breath. It's a low-level upset that I can maintain for ever.

    My company's latest internal training about business ethics contains this uncut gem:

    Keep in mind...

    ... if you’ve indicated where you work on your personal social media, people online might reach out to your employer to complain about your online actions.


    Compared to the rest of the training, the more informal tone of this tidbit with the ellipses makes me think it was a last minute addition after Things Had Happened.

    Even if I know why it is that way, I’m still upset that at equal load, running a smaller engine at nominal capacity is more efficient than running a bigger engine at lower capacity.

    @Tek aEvl It's because @wilhelm is using iceshrimp. Friendica records the reactions but for now it isn't possible to leave them from Friendica.

    How do I know that a Meta engineer is working from home in my apartment building? Probably the unclaimed-for-days bubble mailer in the shared package room addressed to "[redacted] Meta Platforms, Inc" that has sticker labels on it saying it includes a Yubico pass key and an "Open Me First" document.

    German language capitalizes all nouns, sure. But why not go all the way in composite nouns, like ComicHeft or BundesDatenSchutzGesetz?

    Quoted anonymously because I do not want to hurt their feelings, to the question whether we’re the only intelligent life form in the Universe:

    […]the arrogance required to assume we're unique in the vastness of the universe seems deeply human to me.


    I’d argue that mainly basing oneself on a perceived humanity trait to answer a question that has been asked so many times that we probably have a pretty good statistical model for it seems equally human to me.

    Not saying they’re wrong, but the arrogant ones might not be wrong either just because they’re arrogant.

    I finally pulled the trigger and bought a second-hand copy of the #LEGO 71411 The Mighty Bowser set lego.com/en-us/product/the-mig…. And at almost 3,000 parts, it’s a hefty chonker. On the plus side, his eyes and eyebrows are posable, for delightfully silly effects. On the minus side, without the by-bag sorting of a new set, the paper instructions have a terrible color palette and I made several color errors during the build, which made me think I was missing more parts than I actually did.

    In the end, the set looks pretty close from the original #Nintendo subject and my main issue will be to find a spot in my apartment for this large and rather heavy model.

    @Brian Ó Sure, there can be willful or intentional hypocrisy, but I feel like it can be more accurately described by “lies”, “political calculus”, etc… As the person doing it is still internally consistent throughout the process.

    @Jonathan Lamothe Of course, but that’s subjective hypocrisy, you’re judging yourself based on your own values, which is fine by me. I do it too.

    @anubis2814 That can be an aspect of it, but then it becomes easy to switch from accusing people of hypocrisy to accusing people of cognitive dissonance and we've learned nothing. Some people just don't have the same core values as ourselves, and so judging their opinions based on our values will always yield a flawed analysis.

    Periodical reminder there's no objective hypocrisy in people, everybody is always internally consistent. So accusations of hypocrisy reveals more about the accuser who doesn't have (or doesn’t want to get) a grasp on this consistency than about the accused.

    #MiniReview #VideoGames Airborne Kingdom (2020) is a contemplative city builder with an Arabic aesthetic that works well without overdoing it. The city planning is pretty forgiving thanks to the move feature even if it isn't always free, and while the main story can be done in less than 10 hours, the optional content and the sandbox mode should satisfy any further desire to play.

    @Ed Right, I have had a newfangled interest for him since the midlaner tournament in BetBoom Dacha that he almost won from the position 4! I’m not familiar with his past though, please feel free to forward me relevant interview clips!

    Last week someone contacted me out of the blue in my #LEGO BrickLink store to offer me money for the design files of the Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) “Bigfoot” vehicle they found a picture of in Google Search.

    I was surprised because I only posted about it on here, and my Friendica node isn’t indexed by Google. It turns out Google indexed a copy of my post on a Diaspora server diasp.org/posts/22954129, and through the #LEGO hashtag it contained, found another post by me where I promoted my BrickLink storefront store.bricklink.com/MrPetovan.

    Here’s the thing, I can’t find this post anymore on my own Friendica node, which is a little sad and worrying, but I’m glad it lives on in the larger decentralized social media network it is a part of.

    I ended up spending a couple of hours cleaning the design and working on the instructions and I sent the result free of charge to the requester which made him happy.

    Here it is on my NextCloud server nextcloud.mrpetovan.com/index.… if you’re interested, the ZIP archive includes a Stud.io file and the instructions PDF. It’s loosely based on another MOC that I bought on Rebrickable so I’m not sure I can submit it over there but I can distribute it here.

    I didn’t include a separate XML parts list file since the requester didn’t ask for it, please let me know if you’d need it.

    I’ve long wanted to write a joke about object permanence, but I keep forgetting it exists.
