  • Different people don’t like it for different reasons. Some people don’t like it because they think it has CIA financial backing (nope), and some people don’t like it because it requires your phone number, therefore it is not private (the privacy it provides is more than sufficient for anyone not actively being persecuted by a Five Eyes state), and some people don’t like it because it feels corporate (it’s a 501c3 nonprofit, and how corporate it feels is subjective).












  • i have to admit i wrote it in like ten minutes because i was Inspired and didn’t think too much about the symbolism, but i think it gets the message across and i’m really glad you like it! the message was something i’ve been trying to put into words for a while but found it really difficult to do before i made a poem out of it. it’s funny how some ideas are naturally suited to expression through poetry

    i have an account on Habitica. it’s a todo list with RPG mechanics (or an RPG game where you gain XP and level up by doing things in real life) and it’s really helped me keep on track. i’ll let my competitive instincts kick in and i’ll grind for gold or try and level up quickly or whatever, and i’ll get everything i need to do that day done within like the first two hours and i’ll be disappointed i have nothing else to do. never underestimate the power of gamification

    upvoting moves the post higher in the Hot, Active, and Top views.

    technical details

    the value of upvotes decay logarithmically over time in the Hot and Active views. new posts and comments have quite a bit of an early advantage, and since upvotes decay, popular old posts and new posts are on roughly equal footing in the Hot and Active views.

    here is the algorithm, where R is rank, s is score (number of upvotes - downvotes), and t is time since posting in hours
