I really wish /e/os didn't insist on aesthetically pretending to be iOS. It seems like a lot of effort put into apeing the design language of another companies devices, and to my aesthetic sensibilities it's significantly less appealing than android looks by default.
Edit: I should clarify, the greater accessibility of Google free devices is still super cool
Like I might say be safe as like a wish for them to continue being safe and unharmed, rather than an imperative, like I'm instructing them to not do anything dangerous
Since they make the space around them cold I kinda wish you could get like a combination water heater and fridge, that way both sides of the energy gradient could be used. I just think that'd be neat.
Car companies realize that streets full of their products look terrible
As an art and design nerd who really appreciates cars as pieces of industrial design, that is an extremely succinct and perceptive criticism.
(Also it a lot of them just aren't that beautiful or interesting of pieces of design anymore which makes me a bit sad. Maybe it's actually always been that way. Regardless, that's really a different issue)
Thats gut-wrenching man, I'm so sorry, that's a horrifying loss
I have a sleep disorder that often leaves me very isolated in spite of my connections- feeling disconnected from anyone around you is brutal, it does rough things to your head
It doesn't help that making friends as an adult is incredibly hard. Most of my friends came from going to events in my local kink community and that has helped, but I've been trying to brainstorm more ways to feel connected to community when my sleep allows. The universalist unitarian churches seem interesting, they're essentially secular (I'm very much an atheist) and are very progressive. It might be kinda nice to pick up a hobby like martial arts or rock climbing but those cost money and I am very broke right for the time being 😅
I hope that in the not too distant future more good folks find their way into your life, isolation can take a very heavy toll 🫂
That sounds like an extremely good way to ensure they cling even tighter to the lies sold by the Tates of the world
Antagonism is extremely effective at shutting people off from change. If you antagonize someone and they actually change, they almost certainly could have been better reached through compassion.
And when, like the vast majority of people exposed to antagonism, they don't? You have now convinced them anyone outside their bubble is unreasonable and cruel, and given them a sense of persecution they will reflexively hide behind any time they're confronted with an outside perspective
There being causes for someone's cruelty doesn't change their responsibility for it, but understanding those causes is vital if you wish to do anything about the fact that it is a persistent societal issue.
I don't think ill socialized, emotionally unwell, harmful people should be fuckable, I think that we need to recognize that they are ill socialized, and emotionally unwell, if we'd like there to be fewer harmful people in the future.
