is this anything?

a crude drawing of a girl with the title "NONVIOLENT DEONTOLOGICAL GF" with a number of quotes surrounding her:

I don't think that universalizes, anon. if we apply the second formulation of the categorical imperative...

*trying to choose a flavour of ice cream* hm, what is my maxim for picking strawberry...?

be careful that your revolutionary nonviolent action is consistent with your campaign, lest your message be received as duplicitous coercion!

let's be legislating members of a merely possible kingdom of ends together!

I got us vegan burgers tonight, anon! I was concerned that by eating beef we were hardening our hearts to violence

aww anon, you're my fedorovian common task 😊

is it not our duty to live by the rules of the world in which we would want to live?

Nobody could have imagined the future world that would find this funny and why

if you think no one could take them as serious consider that my housemate just said "christian baby scenarios are what it feels like to argue with my [religious] family"

i feel silly laughing about christian baby scenarios because they're all like, parody, and don't represent themselves as parody, and i think people think someone honestly asked them, but they're just so damn funny

i really should start working on the write-up tho

shoofle @shoofle.bsky.social · 3d

working more on the gameboy tarot. it's feeling completeable again. i'm halfway through the court cards and then it's just the minor arcana, music (which a partner is doing), testing, and packaging :)

given the happenings on bluesky lately i don't feel comfortable saying what i think should happen to them

shoofle @shoofle.bsky.social · 7d

my moderate compromise position is that all body modifications should be available for free at Claire's, and also everyone in the weight loss industry should be [redacted]

and if you're really buying the curvature description, then it doesn't actually matter if the ball stretches the trampoline down or up! the curvature is the same either way.

shoofle @shoofle.bsky.social · 8d

but this is also why my biggest problem with the "ball on trampoline" model is that it almost *does* work as a description of curvature... but you have to understand this weird thing about how stretching space like that affects straight lines

shoofle @shoofle.bsky.social · 8d

when the outside has to be longer than the inside, it curves towards the inside.

does this make any sense? this is how my brain reasons about it

shoofle @shoofle.bsky.social · 8d

now let's go back to relativity. imagine something has "stretched" an area of space around it, so that it has more "space". if we're drawing a trajectory that passes nearby, the edge on the outside is going to have to be "longer" to compensate for the inside going through an area with more space.

shoofle @shoofle.bsky.social · 8d

another thought about curved spacetime: one way of defining a "straight line" is this: think about the line as having a very narrow width, and ask "are the left sides and the right sides the same length?". if they're the same, the line is straight; if they're different, the line must be curved.
