Any successful social change starts at the roots. Win local politics, build communities / working groups / unions, and then start aiming higher.

That is how socialism wins.

Just about every time someone said something dumb about me or other people, it had real impacts on their lives. Some asshole said I could read minds which drove away friends who believed that's possible. They also said I was a whore despite never even touching anyone until I was an adult; between me and others this happened to, it seriously harmed our ability to form relationships for years.

Ignorance and lies are not harmless.

Believing stupid shit like astrology actually affects our personalities and actions is not harmless at all.

If a hit of nitrous oxide is all it would take to knock someone out of a dangerous depressive episode long enough to get some treatment, that's a huge win.

Updated formatting because it keeps getting messed up when I paste it from my cookbook. (P.S. Microsoft OneNote RULES as a cookbook.)

I was using OneNote at work for a while and this is actually why I stopped. Nothing ever gets copied out with sane formatting and it was driving me mad.

For once a recipe gets it right and I don't have to add more. It's garlic chicken, not hint of garlic chicken.

Social media is shrinking our attention spans, but video games may be the surprising antidote in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Every study I've seen on the subject said it helps or that it doesn't hurt. Note that this tended to have a lot to do with the type of games and how they're played.

Mobile games and similar attention vampires are worthless. On the other hand are puzzle, strategic, and some competitive games that challenge the user the most. The more you have to think or the faster you have to think, the more good it does.
