not enough body horror in pokémon

@aescling you just gotta jump in lol; i can help point you in the right directions but i think mastodev is easiest to learn by doing

pick an issue you want to accomplish and ask me about it, and i'll give you some pointers. then by the time you're done, you'll be familiar with that tiny piece of the code.

@aescling honestly i’ve done next to nothing so there's plenty for you to do

« Eat the bread during cooking to ward off hunger. »

@KitRedgrave heck you could throw together a command line interactive script that prompts you for a URL, comment, and related tags and pops out an XML file with a hotlink and appropriate metadata in a couple hours

add an index page of some sort and bam! you have something you can browse locally or publish to the web

@KitRedgrave you can probably do it cheaper and simpler if you’re willing to get your paws dirty with a little XML

@KitRedgrave i think leftism has a way of being anti‐expertise, like, pretending the only two options are dictatorship or total democracy, but like

you can call in experts, use their expertise, and still have their decisions be subject to the will of the people at the end of the day. you don’t have to get rid of specialization just because you want to have a people’s government.

@KitRedgrave there’s a difference between having every person with a stake actively contributing to a solution, and having every person with a stake voting on solutions and offering feedback to designers and implementers, and it’s acting in bad faith to use the failure of the former as a justification for not doing the latter

@KitRedgrave good design isn’t done by committee but it is approved by committee

if you got that far you might as well just guess on the rest of it

« “Yeah! Uh, Glory-something!” » no offence but how many names start with those two syllables

they called it pokémon master journeys and so you think it’s about training to be a pokémon master but you would be wrong

it’s about training to be a leek master 🥬

@monorail oh i didn’t mean competitively, there are definitely non‐competitive pokémon

goh really just stole one of team rocket’s pokémon

:Eevee_yelling: there are no bad pokémon, only bad trainers!!
