@Patricia @dfeldman I’d never heard of jsonld before but it appears to be different from JSON Schema, and now I’m about to fall in a rabbit hole 🙃

@dfeldman definitely important to keep some nice hoodies too! ;)

@arossp I always wondered why they push the app so aggressively on mobile when the desktop web client works fine…

@Patricia @bradleythughes The UI decisions on here are wild (see also the DMs pulling in people who are mentioned, and preferring screenshot gossip to QTs)

@bradleythughes @Patricia the “I don’t want search it violates my privacy” is security-through-obscurity nonsense.

@Sunfishstanford depends how big the particles are? For me it’s mostly (c), but if something really big (corn, bit of steak, etc) is in there it can push the teeth apart a bit, and then I think it’s usually (a)

"The fact is, you can meet internet trolls in real life, and they will be just as trollish in person as they are on the internet. It's just that, when someone starts screaming at you on the street about their crazy conspiracy theories, you can walk away."

I feel like this thing I wrote ten years ago aged pretty well...

@adrian this is the way! and it doesn't have to be pumpkin either, butternut and hubbard both work well (and probably many others)

@TarkabarkaHolgy shades of Patricia C Wrede’s “Dealing with Dragons”

I want to tell you the story of Vivienne Malone-Mayes, Texas-born mathemetician and professor, but I don't think you can understand her journey without talking about the #AcademicRacism in which she existed.

@arossp @mlaursen “the government overreached by doing x, now it must also overreach by doing Y to compensate” is certainly *an* argument, but it’s not a libertarian one.

Though if you find a Volokh Conspiracy article making that argument I’ll be both interested (and disappointed) to read it, as their legal analysis is usually quite good.

@wilbowma @koronkebitch the secret is to get in a leadership position in at least N-1 of the N activities you participate in so you get to lead the consensus process

@mlaursen @arossp either way the US government has no moral/ethical justification for passing a law prohibiting a strike (and libertarians have no business rooting for them to do so). Being forced to sign a “contract” and made to work involuntarily is tantamount to slavery

@fakegreekgrill @thomasjwebb on threads where I’m the OP I’ve had good luck using hashtags to try and bring in a wider audience than just my current meeps

@fakegreekgrill @thomasjwebb still just warming up (still less than 20% of the accounts I followed on birdapp have made it over) but honestly the engagement hs been much better in the threads I’ve found

@arossp """It would obviously be preferable to see the two sides come to an agreement that does not require further intervention from the federal government. But there's no doubt that the unions are playing a dangerous game by putting a strike back on the timetable."""

Like, is a libertarian publication really siding with the feds over some people exercising their right to voluntary association?
