this blackberry is JELLY but i wanted JAM

we can indeed reduce the “trauma” of the event by expecting it, but at the cost of a more just world

Show thread

kiddo the reason why trauma has been such a buzzword lately is because we are trying to point out that these stresses should NOT be considered normal

it is in fact possible to imagine a world without them

Show thread

remembering that time i saw someone on the TL say “what if we just normalized trauma?”

“the new hobbit movies weren’t supposed to be good because it was a childrens story” still remembering this wild take my brother had

@packetcat the Rankin-Bass Hobbit and Return of the King are way better though

plus a filesystem path is a much more human-friendly identifier than a UUID but this is the URL thing again

anyway the idea that Zoomers will replace the tree directory structure is kind of hilar; i don't think the author realizes that people have been trying to replace the tree directory structure for a half-century and the reason they haven't done it yet is that it's really fucking hard

if a tree structure is important for your data you can easily handle the problem by wrapping the data in a container and only showing the container to the user. probably a better solution anyway because it means that the computer can enforce good structure at the container boundary. who cares

however, there is one other domain where the concept of a “path” is relevant, other than the filesystem… and it’s kind of important…

@witchfynder_finder i literally think it is impossible for ordinary mortals to understand

if you crash on someone's house are they your household?? if you share an apartment?? if you have different apartments with the same street address?? where is the line?? is the line the lease/deed, because your name isn't on that?? is the line “where you sleep most of the time”?? what if you spend half your time sleeping at your girlfriend’s place??

:Eevee_confused: :blobmeow_spiral:

@witchfynder_finder the number one thing i want to change about forms is making them stop asking for gender information but RIGHT BEHIND IT is getting rid of all the assumptions which expect a nuclear household

@witchfynder_finder for the IRS etc, all the information i have seen is that a household is limited to spouse and dependents; for other things uhhhh i've never really gotten a good answer

your parents are effectively roommates in this scenario so??

@witchfynder_finder that dick’s?? idk probably

than mcdonalds?? no
