-> file: fediverse/2702 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── hobbies are for getting better at something, not consistently accumulating more stuff related to it. you engage with a collection hobby by learning more about it, like paleontologists who study fossils. if every (dinosaur) nerd was a collector, there'd be no such thing as a museum. much better, I find, to centralize the storage of precious irreplaceable pieces and study them from afar. hence, tool libraries as the more ethical form of "means of production" dispersal. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2703 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── I like to listen to people the same way I like to listen to birds sing ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2704 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── @user-1209 I sometimes do that ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2705 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── find the people who, when given power over someone else, nurtures and cares for them in their service. for those who hurt instead are reliably the evil sort of person, and evil has to work twice as hard to justify it's worth. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2706 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: politics │ └──────────────────────┘ feds will "break" into your house noiselessly while leaving no trace when you're confirmed to not be home and photograph EVERYTHING. if you have in-door camera systems, they can disrupt those and they give you false confidence. EDIT: also they're trained to always check after opening a door for any fallen markers and such - like, leaving a piece of paper between the door and the frame and if it's fallen when you return home, you know someone has been through that way - and if they notice anything like that they replace it. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2707 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── @user-1209 sometimes I feed the nearby wildlife, and sometimes I don't. I don't want them to grow reliant on me, but I want them to have a nice surprise every once in a while. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2708 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────────┐ │ CW: capitalism-mentioned │ └──────────────────────────┘ @user-1209 people have been pretty stingy lately with hot dogs. kinda makes a racoon guy think there's not enough "pork" snacks circulating in the economy. oh look turns out like 50 people own 90% of the buns, which is why nobody can make anything edible anymore. yeesh how's a cool cat supposed to make money if people only offer you "jobs" that make "dollars" - what good is a dollar, and why do we need so many of them? I just want a house, just want food for myself and my cat. surely there's nothing wrong in that impulse, the desire to be as I am? people tend to work best on what interests them, and the hardest when they're otherwise bored. capitalist enslavement provides neither of those. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
