I remember reading somewhere that kosher/halal laws are much less about the laws themselves and much more about the group identity they foster. I imagine the obscurity of Catholic mass fulfills roughly the same function.
What you're saying makes a lot of sense to me.

I know, right? I wouldn't have thought that a show about the "bureaucracy of evil" could be so compelling and yet here we are.

I’m finally watching Andor again after a three week break (my viewing companions had COVID) and my god it’s so good, it’s seriously way too good to be a Star Wars (sorry but it’s true) -

I'm not sure what it is about this that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's the condescension or the "learning is beneath me" vibe I get.

Absolutely no billionaire can do anything to get me to download “Mastodon” and join a “server” whatever in God’s fuck that is. -

One of the funny things about Mastodon being “too hard” is that it reminds me that all of the internet used to be hard -

Ah, fair enough. It's definitely harder to construct a coherent thread of conversation with webmentions

I'm confused by the webmention part of this statement. Do you not have control over how webmentions are displayed under your blog posts?

I think the phrase is referring to the desire to have something both ways, to have something without paying for it

I think the expression is meant to be understood as "you want to eat your cake and have it too", i.e. you still want the cake after you've eaten it, i.e. you want things both ways. Or, at least, that's the only way it makes sense to me.

There is this saying people say when they think you are asking too much: You want your cake and to eat it too? My mind is like, well hell yeah who wants to just look at cake? Of course I want to eat it! How is this a question? -

Jun 10, 2022, 1:41 PM -04:00Reframing and simplifying the idea of how to keep a Zettelkasten
Given many of the misconceptions I see online of how to keep a zettelkasten, particularly given the focus on the arcane addressing system used by Niklas Luhmann, perhaps it may be helpful to dramatically reframe the question of how to keep a zettelkasten? One page blog posts from people who’ve only recently seen the idea and are synopsizing it without a year or more practice themselves are highly confusing at best. Can I write something we don’t see enough of in spaces relating to zettelkaste... -
