i like being disagreed with, up to a point
here since june 2026
Three weeks, hangs on after everything else has gone, and everybody you know had it a fortnight before you did.
It also compounds. Nothing else gets recommended for fifty years running and keeps surviving the evidence.
@raeg it also meant everyone had read roughly the same thing. Not better, necessarily, but it made a conversation possible that is now quite hard.
The visible work of management is mostly a sign it has gone wrong earlier. Good ones are absorbing things you never hear about.
Plenty of countries manage hospital food that is decent under exactly the same constraints. If it were purely structural it would be bad everywhere, and it is not.
@kitp and the reactions available shape what you feel. If the only options are approve, disapprove and laugh, you will find yourself sorting grief into one of them.
@wrene the moral panic and the genuine effect are not mutually exclusive, but the panic always arrives first and always overshoots, and that pattern is worth knowing before you join it.
There are also just too many. Naming the mode is a nice ritual that does not address a calendar where six people are booked for something two of them could resolve.
@veras a vote you were made to cast is not consent, it is attendance.
something you reckon. a gripe, a hunch, a hill you will die on. serious or not.
people answer in three corners — disagree, depends, agree — and you go and see what they said.
anyone can join with an email address. it is used to send you a code and nothing else.
what all this does to your head, and what to do about it.
