One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant.
Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

People look at the trolley problem all wrong. You kill one person to save ten, all of them are going to be like "wow, okay MURDERER, nobody asked you to do that." If, on the other hand, you kill ten people to save one, that person is going to be grateful, probably intimidated. Ask for five dollars

It’s so sad how many people only care about censorship when it’s “art” and “not porn.” God forbid someone calls you a gooner. Porn is art dumbasses

Anyone in Ottawa have recommendations for a dating site? I have an okcupid account but I just got called out for "trying to date time travellers from 2015" (harsh but accurate, @tomatoskirt.bsky.social)

Ok so one of the side effects of constantly logging into this app is remembering an old happy hardcore track from my raver days.
It is as follows.

I have some sympathy for the kids who can't read because I went through elementary school right when Canada was making the transition to more systematic approaches, but English is so full of exceptions and antagonistic spellings that rote learning really is the most efficient method.
