@delca seem to be loading for me! can you try from the web client?

@dpiepgrass yeah all this stuff is very much a matter of opinion; some tribes on here skew very conservative with CWs; it very much depends on who your audience is and what your attitude is towards potential upset. my policy on this instance is that CWs are never required besides for explicit content, users are encouraged t decide their own CW policies. other instances can do as they like towards us as a consequence

@delca he's like, the most boring kind of right. yeah, that analogy works. but as you said, there's no real path to a universal ban

@empathy2000 also hi cam

@empathy2000 I'm working on a set of principles but in short, yeah! it should only be a last resort, and the most I've done so far is exclude porn instances from showing up on the federated TL, but yall still free to follow those if so inclined

@empathy2000 we have the power to change this with every toot

@empathy2000 you figure out what it is you actually want; if it's social validation, you decide to be okay with explicitly going for that instead of getting it thru proxies. if smth else, no amount of social validation will fit that need

@cosmiccitizen I see the logic, but this isn't true in my experience; I regularly both see others organizing meatspace phenomena and also do so myself

@dpiepgrass unfortunately so, yeah. QTs are a major area of controversy amongst Masto users. we may be able to change this eventually by switching to a different frontend, but for now it is what it is

I've found much utility in the litany of gendlin reframing: I've been wrong the whole time, but admitting it gives me a chance to become right

this is precisely my attitude towards software bugs, and why I make a point of being HAPPY and excited to find them; they were already there, but now that you've become aware, they can be fixed! I find this a powerful mindset shift to teach to neophyte engineers https://twitte…

if only epistemics were immune to the fallacy of the excluded middle

all too often there's a massive chasm of confusion to be crossed between realizing you're wrong and finding what's right

this is why we're so loathe to admit this, bc then we risk having to wander

an underrated thing about admitting you were wrong is you immediately become right

@easoncxz great idea but all my hooks are already occupied; altho could be a great incentive to minimize the reuse queue...

is it that Proper Adults don't seem to have this problem? and, perhaps this is true, as I don't recall my parents having a Chair; why is this so? do they truly not re-wear clothing? or do they put it back in their closet and don't differentiate between unworn and worn but clean?

I've recently taken to using a dedicated shelf just for this purpose and it's been Quite Nice; instead of pretending this need doesn't exist I explicitly acknowledge it and designate a staging area

why are we generally so unwilling to do this? so many people have The Chair

all too real and speaks to an unsolved problem in the wardrobe design space; how was this addressed in the past when laundry was a much bigger deal? how did handmaids handle this for their clients?

No mom it's not a "messy pile of clothes on my chair" it's an L1 cache for fast random access to my frequently used clothes in O(1) time. It needs to be big to avoid expensive cache misses (looking in my closet). I NEED to be min…
