@petercoffin He who fights with BrandTax™ should look to it that he himself does not become a BrandTax™. And if you gaze long into Brandless™, the Brandless™ also gazes into you. #brandlesslife
My video on Szechaun Sauce did quite well, which means I am terrified to follow it up. You'd think after more than a decade uploading videos, it would be easier to accept when something is well-recieved. In truth, it flares up all that good ol' crippling self-doubt.
I mean, good problem to have, but still is difficult to handle good receptions for me.
So is .social, I guess the "main" English speaking instance?
Want to thank everyone who joined Mastodon from my tweets and followed. Was not really expecting it. 🙂
@petercoffin There. I joined your alternative to twitter what looks like discord and has something like 500 characters? I don't have to break up my sentences? I can actually post whole and complete thoughts without worrying about one of them being taken out of context and used for tomfoolery?
HUZZAH! HUZZAH AND GOOD DAY! AND WHAT A GOOD DAY IT IS, AH HA HA HA!
@petercoffin Serious answer: Just commit and stay. The biggest hurdle to any adoption is the chicken and egg problem, not anything technical.
Tusky is genuinely a much cooler app than Twitter. It's more slick. It's nicer. There are no nazis.
I can write as much as I want here. It's enjoyable in a way Twitter really isn't.
Yet if you told someone about it who has never seen the dark side of Twitter, they wouldn't give a shit.
Hello again, Mastodon. How do we make you into something people who don't understand what is wrong with Twitter would move to?
Automation under socialism = liberating people from labor, fruits are shared among all.
Automation under capitalism = labor force becomes disposable, capital is liberated from labor and then can dispose of the former working class.
It recreates the resource curse in societies that did not already suffer from it.
Why Criticize Capitalism? (VERY IMPORTANT DOCS №8) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZnHwc6TfB0&list=PL9oHQnEByWyXObkJN9YYQS9hxBjpN8RLG https://mastodon.social/media/HeyzU8_0mR_1yNK92Ns #creative

Time to make coffee and edit some anti-capitalism ON MY WINDOWS PC BOUGHT WITH MONEY MADE BY A COMPANY ON A PROGRAM MADE BY ANOTHER COMPANY!
Individualism exacerbates the problem presented by postmodernism: that your reality is up to you. To some degree, obviously we all have personal truth. But individualism has created an environment where it's normal to go much further.
It's hyper-individualism. Obsessive individualism. The Religion of Me.
I think postmodernism is 100% correct about there being no objective reality. It doesn't exist. Perspective affects all input, period. BUT This is not just "how things are," this is a problem that denying the existence of will never solve. Saying "I don't believe in postmodernism" doesn't solve the issue that all people see things subjectively.
Collective reality is the closest to objective reality we can get. Yet so many shun collectivism with all they have.
It's interesting because postmodernism is correct, it's just destructive because it stops there.
Deconstruction with no reconstruction.
My book is going to piss the Richard Dawkins types of the world off badly because I believe they are postmodern as hell.

Family stuff today then tomorrow I'm going to hammer away at that doc. With any luck both the doc and Adversaries will hit before July 4th.
More disingenuous "SJWs" (who the actually voluntarily, unironically says that?) on Twitter.
Headache today. Wee.
I hope people aren't partying too hard the Senate delayed their health vote. House did it too; waited until the fuss died down, made minor changes, re-submitted to CBO and passed it before a result came back.
