@freemo @icedquinn I remember at least 3 decades ago, many deaf people want to hide they're deaf. They were ashamed to even use sign language in public. My generation or the one right before mine might be the first ones who are like 'eff it'. Still a bit ashamed for people looking our way but also recalcitrant like staring back and then smiling ridiculously and waving back so the hearies all just look away, embarassed themselves.

It's (asymptotically) done!

You can now play an early access version of our second earthquake game, Cascadia 9.1, free on the web:

Please give it a try and tell us what's still confusing or broken.

(We're not looking for design ideas at this stage, but we might be when we start designing the third game in a matter of weeks.)

The FCC is accepting applications for new, low-power, community radio stations the first week of November.

This is huge, you guys, this window rarely opens (the last time was 2013), and as you know, KUZU shows one way LPFM can be a foundation to build valuable community information resources.

The Grassroots Radio folks are holding a conference in West Virginia to help folks out with this.

Please boost and share.

@freemo Yeah, if that's the current state of affairs (i don't follow celebrity events and frankly don't care to research them), then i agree.
Rape must be taken seriously, and for that to work false accusations must be taken seriously and not accepted. The sex of the people involved does not matter for this part.
If someone gets away with false accusations while someone else does not, that's clearly both a double standard and it has the effect of supporting rape.

@freemo @Wolven just wrote what I had on my mind, they want to nullify the student loans and debts, but who’ll pay for it? and what freaks me out that if you disagree with this - you’re “racist, fascist, far right supporter” etc…

@freemo Just FYI, this isn't really a Buddha quote. It was written by an American Secular Buddhist, Jack Kornfield: https://fakebuddhaquotes.com/in-the-end-only-three-things-matter/

@freemo
> violence is only a last resort and one I've almost never had to use even when justified.

Yeah, this looks like "I feel like i won if i took a hit and solved it without hitting back"
That's the stuff.

@freemo Ah, the engagement i hoped for, and i hope you value the reply with my own thoughts:

To love, i improved. I did badly, maybe was clumsy and incompetent, but i improved. Especially in the sense of loving without a personal connection, to love for "i think this is something special", not because there was someone close to me.

To live gently, i improved. I was rather angry (rightfully so, but it was not helpful) as a youth, but i think i am getting the knack of not pulling someone who is not directly responsible into my outrage.

Things not meant for me? I really struggle with this one. What does it mean? Is living in a world where people work together instead of competing not meant for me? Who would decide what is meant for me?
Maybe this is more of a translation error, it would make more sense to me if it was "let go of things where consent is not given". That i would be able to say to "i improved". I do conscientiously check if something is where someone else has no obligation to me and back off if i get told no instead of trying to make everything right even if someone does not want that.
