We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

I have this idea for a “farmer’s market”-style arcade where all games all “locally grown”; written by people in the surrounding community.

To ensure diversity of games, arcade “farmers” hold classes teaching skills needed to make games (design, programming, music, etc.).

Imagine the kind of unique titles that would be created under these conditions, and imagine how many new voices and perspectives could be heard that are currently underrepresented in the existing commercial gaming industry.

I’m sick to death of people being precious about #GMO produce. Functionally there is no difference between a grape bred to have little or no seed and a grape that has been modified in a lab for the same thing. Y’all are just scared of science.

You wanna talk about #Monsanto charging for “licenses” for their crops, ok. Talk about agribusiness killing the planet, ok. Talk about corporations copyrighting genetic code, ok. These are all valid concerns.

But the science is sound.

Just thinking about Iran makes me angry.

The sheer /stupidity/ of it. Even if you wanted to pursue and completely self-interested foreign policy, the actions the Republicans have been pushing for and Trump gave him have /no upside/ for American self interest.

They can't be /that/ stupid. Do they just dislike anything vaguely secular and liberalizing and feel a kindred bond with the Theocrats or something? Helping some other religious regime strengthen its hold as a consolation prize?

most common question asked in a maths classroom: "why do we have to do this why can't we just use a calculator"

blatant lie told to every pupil since like 1980: "you won't always have a calculator available"

actual truth: "calculators are devil objects, none of them work the same, you'll only really be acquainted with how exactly one of them works across your lifetime and when it comes time to use it again you'll have forgotten how it works anyway"

If you or someone you love lives in the US and needs help accessing government services, I just found the BEST WEBSITE
https://howtogeton.wordpress.com/
This site talks about how to get disability, food assistance, medical care, affordable housing, all sorts of programs you may or may not have heard of, and how to apply, and how to appeal, and how to everything! It's great!

"The thing about being a kid in the American public school system is that every day at least five things are going to happen to you that, were you a grown adult, would result in criminal charges or at the very least a written warning from the human resources department, but as a kid you have to just sigh and go to algebra."

@garbados For power, they can't stop you from selling power to your neighbors, but in most places it's illegal to run power lines across a public road, so it's hard to reach a scale that would make it even close to economic. Batteries could change that, though. I suspect if you're connected to a neighbor's house the utility won't let you connect at all, too.

@garbados We're already at the point where local communities could run their own power & Internet utilities today. The main barrier is the existing monopoly providers. The fact that ISPs can sue cities to stop them from providing their own Internet is just mindboggling to me.

A town in Mexico overthrew their local government...they've kicked out all the criminals, cops, and politicians, things couldn't be going better.
