Godwins law is when I tend to stop analysing people though. Even "cleverly" comparing people to Nazi's is normally insane hyperbole. 13:53:13, 2015-01-02
EG; The comeback to @PennyRed's geek privilage article that mixed nazi anti-jewish images in with pics of stereotype neckbeards. 13:55:45, 2015-01-02
Wow, that's oh-so clever. Let's imply talking about this issue is comparable to the persecution and systematic murder of ~6million people. 13:57:36, 2015-01-02
Unless you're discussing state-mandated mass extermination of a people or social group, inciting godwins law is self-entitled hyperbole. 13:59:04, 2015-01-02
I mean, good god, how up your own arse do you have to be? Which is why I stop trying to analyse peoples POVs once they do that. Not worth it 14:00:45, 2015-01-02
@PeglaSkunk I half want to say it's the niche for the internet pedant, but that role is often just reduction to the point of apathy. in reply to PeglaSkunk 14:03:06, 2015-01-02
@PeglaSkunk And yes, it really does. I would dearly love to be able to code the ideas I have for a better setup. in reply to PeglaSkunk 14:04:19, 2015-01-02
@ThatBint It's rare I've caught any argument on youtube comments that didn't seem purely there to cause rage rather than discussion. in reply to ThatBint 14:05:31, 2015-01-02

I've noticed a lot of people in geek & activist circles tend to hate bureaucracy. To the point anyone handling group management is reviled. 14:28:11, 2015-01-02
The argument tends to summarise as "unless you're on the front lines, you're doing it wrong". 14:28:59, 2015-01-02
Without needing to get into naming explicit structures; the more people in a group, the more specialisation will exist. 14:30:39, 2015-01-02
This works in industry, politics, activism and more. People find a niche as social space allows. 14:32:02, 2015-01-02
EG; qualifications seem to get ridiculously specific. This is because there are sufficient people in a field to allow specialisation. 14:32:59, 2015-01-02
In social groups it's the same. At sufficient size, specialists become apparent and begin organising. 14:33:51, 2015-01-02
I think anyone involved with cliques knows how some rage against groups becoming too big or organised. And the mess if they don't. 14:34:59, 2015-01-02
You're allowed to have fond memories of days when a group was smaller & more personal. But structure evolves on demand. 14:36:03, 2015-01-02
Your options are to grow & adapt, or grow & split repeatedly. Just growing without allowing structural changes invites rapid collapse. 14:37:33, 2015-01-02
"Engineering solutions to a social problems" are a common clique trope. 14:39:50, 2015-01-02
But would be nice if networking options allowed for these common group growth trends without loosing archival data. 14:40:26, 2015-01-02

@artsyhonker Would expect it to be more common in evolved social structures than directed ones. The social/"professional" crossover. in reply to artsyhonker 15:12:04, 2015-01-02

@artsyhonker Even directed growth still has to accommodate the individuals it's made of. Even moreso at the start. in reply to artsyhonker 15:14:26, 2015-01-02
@thepandalion Buy all the lattes? in reply to thepandalion 15:14:54, 2015-01-02
@artsyhonker Indeed. In fact I'd be very distrusting of any group that presented itself as being perfectly directed from the start. in reply to artsyhonker 15:17:03, 2015-01-02
As I remember to turn my phone's connections back on, I begin the receipt of a days worth of twitter notifications. 15:20:07, 2015-01-02

"Everybody is a specialist" is probably a good mantra to go into 2015 with. 15:25:24, 2015-01-02
Hmm. A relational database where entries are defined by reductionist categories. Not quite. Philosophical concepts may not be quite right. 16:01:49, 2015-01-02
At first blush, reductionist categories do seem a good fit for evidence gathering. 16:10:30, 2015-01-02
One of those oddly unmentioned bits of Americana always seems to be the way executive mugshots have their heads canted slightly to one side. 16:25:07, 2015-01-02

Pile of 4 laptops. Technically all work. Various issues though. Also all old. Sad but scrapping for parts seems best. 17:17:45, 2015-01-02
