it would be SO nice to be able to scan my brain and know what gender I am. It's
confusing up there!
when I said something similar on Reddit tho people called me "truscum" and
"transmedicalist" >.>

I can 100% relate, to all of this.
we are multifaceted. all people are.
on social media, you follow someone for a particular facet, and if they don't
like your other facets well then it wasn't meant to be.
there's also no shame in pruning people who post things that upset you or that
aren't interesting.

I think, on this particular point, you are wrong, because you are already
effective, and even if you did half of what you do you'd still be effective.
sure, the tasks may change, but the spirit is what counts. the spirit drives
you. the spirit guides you and keeps you on track, and you got it kid

ah but you see when "maximizing profit" and "maximizing value" sound like the
same thing to those directing the corporation (as is the case anytime they have
greedy shareholders) then "maximizing profit" doesn't have to be very efficient
at all, as long as it's extracting the most "value" for the stakeholders (which
to greedy shareholders is the same thing as profit)
and honestly, who would invest in a company that isn't eternally growing as
fast as possible? that's just bad business acumen, gotta pump those numbers up!

easiest way to solve an entire class of accessibility problems: in the
tutorial, instead of having button prompts, have keybinding confirmations.
"what button do you want to use to jump?"
"super triple mega backflip spin-dozer needs three jumps and a kick"
"use the boost to get through! [game pauses] (which button do you want to use
to boost?) [displays a map of previously bound keys]"

cops thought "enforcing the law" was their job when really it was "keeping the
peace"
and like, yeah, sure, laws define how they optimize for
but sometimes the laws are just out of reach.
(though such an impartialized system is also pretty flawed in it's own unique
ways, like for example the enforcers of the law would be able to apply their
law *selectively*, which... would not be great.)
downside is... how do you dissent to those who cannot hear you? you have to
break things
which is why I believe that breaking things unnecessarily is unethical.
sometimes you have to do a MORE unethical act in the pursuit of your goals,
however nefarious or not they may be, but as long as they are done in pursuit
of a greater grander truth, then... the ends justify the means? right?"

ah, but to be our own gods would surely be fine.
nobody believes we should terraform the universe into a massive collection of
computationally examining forward thinking thoughts?!?
oh but that's just the beginning, because with this UNPROVEN SCIENCE of mine,
everything that has been known upto this point - IN ANY CAPACITY - could be
un-known. We have no way of knowing when the BARENSTEIN BARES swapped
