How do you make them want you to come?

It truly is a curse

I’m American and your government paid me $50K to study there.

Wtf? Where do I sign?

The British government has not issued a formal, official apology for the concentration camps used during the Second Boer War (1899-1902).

:(

That’s the thing. I think FOSS’ main competitive disadvantage is the lack of money. Because money gets things moving/written, fast.

“Let me help!”

“Barks over phone”

Yeah, when I picture a society where a minority is being labelled and dehumanized then it makes full sense

Exactly, this is the viewpoint that I’m coming from – they were a good human and no labels are needed to qualify that. The comments from people in the US have made me aware of the need to counter anti-trans propaganda over there though. Labelling is unfair if only one side does it

Except that the benefactor of your oil wealth changed

I feel like mentioning they were trans isn’t really relevant here. It irritates me when they do this

Reminds me of the hierarchical enzyme classification codes

Essentially any enzyme can be categorised according to function

As if the deluded crazies on facebook werent already enough

They do seem like the OG liberals

Just wait until it learns to hack and socially manipulate

I am so terrified of a future where people have their own perfect AI companions and no longer need any actual human friends.

I’d actually quite like an overflowing cake thank you very much

This one for me: https://plurality.net/

Discusses how to strengthen democracy using the very things that are currently weakening it

I thought these were from Where The Wild Things Are

How do I know you’re not just cosplaying as your parents’ son/daughter?

My parents grew up under communism. How limiting that was depended on what you wanted in life/what kind of person you were. My mum didn’t even realize communisn was bad/not normal until after ot fell.

I think even just the fact that Mental Health is a topic that is discussed and understood nowadays is enough to make my life better that that of my parents. When they were small, the topic simply didn’t exost and any problems were drowned in alcohol.
