Sexy Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Friday, 17-Jun-2022 18:35:29 UTC Sexy Moon @clacke from my perspective it was on almost nobody's radar until after 2012 -
Sexy Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Tuesday, 14-Jun-2022 12:17:17 UTC Sexy Moon @clacke oh i also agree that "meritocracy" is a terrible model for explaining success. -
Sexy Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Tuesday, 14-Jun-2022 12:04:13 UTC Sexy Moon @clacke the reason I don't care for the analogy is not the analogy itself i'm thinking, it's that it's often used to hand-wave away the requisite hard work. I understand perfectly that hard work doesn't equal success but it's a prerequisite to it 99+% of the time.
in my own life it was an observation that some people just seemed to be lucky but i looked closer and the people that got lucky were people that 1. showed up and 2. kept trying consistently. also maybe 3. didn't fuck it up and were able to keep the ball rolling. -
Sexy Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Tuesday, 14-Jun-2022 12:03:00 UTC Sexy Moon @clacke what I mean is, there's kind of a difference between angel investors and entrepreneurs. angel investors have a ton of money and they spread it all around because risk is just part of the game. the angel investor almost can't lose. but any individual business, the person starting it is taking huge risk. even then yeah the successful people are serial entrepreneurs that eventually hit it so the analogy does match that very well, you can be a serial entrepreneur if you have a lot of money. regular people opening a restaurant or whatever, 80+% are just going to fail and they go back to their regular wage job. -
Sexy Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Tuesday, 14-Jun-2022 11:49:48 UTC Sexy Moon @clacke @noelle good explanation, thank you. That makes perfect sense. although I think it's generally understood by people (at least business people) that most businesses fail. -
Sexy Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Tuesday, 14-Jun-2022 11:20:36 UTC Sexy Moon @noelle this only works if you already decided that it's a game of chance. analogies are good for illumination, not argumentation. -

Sexy Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Sunday, 12-Jun-2022 12:49:36 UTC Sexy Moon @lain I used to think the bad art was a cope at not being able to do good art, then I matured a little and realized there are a lot of different art styles and it was good. then I matured more and realized the bad art is a cope at not being able to do good art. -
Sexy Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Sunday, 12-Jun-2022 12:34:59 UTC Sexy Moon @chjara @Edent I've implemented bots for IRC, MSN Messenger (yeah a long time ago lol), Matrix, and Discord and IRC is kind of shit but easy to implement. Discord was the easiest and had the least problems. Matrix was a nightmare. -

Sexy Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Sunday, 22-May-2022 04:33:27 UTC Sexy Moon @lanodan @JulianOliver this is a pointless argument to have with a graphic designer, they will always insist it is necessary. -
