After 15 hours playing (supposedly), I completed the entire battle pass and got 50 Pokémon, but now it seems like I’ll only be able to get a few Pokémon per week even if I log in and play every day.
I guess it’ll improve in a month when the next battle pass comes out.

@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialTrump's promise to ship captains contemplating traversing the Strait of Hormuz: "Don't worry, if you die I'll compensate your boss for the value of your cargo!"
Somehow this hasn't been very effective at convincing them to attempt to run the blockade.
Of course, this message is actually aimed at said bosses, who Trump thinks can force their captains to go (might even be true in some cases). Literally asking civilians to put their lives on the line in service of "the global economy" to fix an issue he created.

- are you still talking about that weird Greeks -> Romans -> (white) Europeans -> American colonizers inconsistently ethnocentric idea of history?
"The arc of history bends towards material and sociological configurations which have long-term stability."
- true by definition
- highlights value of millennia-old indigenous sociological configurations and knowledge systems that are still around and which could reasonably outlast the current millennium-young self-destructive necropolitical mess
- applicable at any timescale of interest
- hard to say
Unfortunately, "nuclear wasteland" and "Venus" are both material configurations which have long-term stability, but history offers plenty of other options; not every human gets cancer.

@aredridel@kolektiva.socialBe careful. "It's AI slop" is turning into a thought-terminating cliche.
Even though it's true often, the actual use of the phrase is starting to be a shortcut to dismissing things without using our brains.
And that is itself a kind of slop.
Learn to notice it because doing it consciously is exhausting, but knowing when you're being cognitively lazy is a step to being a bit more resistant to bad ideas and being manipulated.

@inthehands@hachyderm.io5. Online spaces, including social media, are especially important in connecting kids who feel isolated with others who are like them. This has long been especially true for kids who are any and every variety of queer, and especially especially for trans kids. These kids may have no avenues in their own lives to even •acknowledge• their identity, much less find •support• for it. Sometimes online community can save lives.
Awareness of this puts 3 and 4 in a harsh and unfavorable light. Eroding child privacy in favor of parent control is extremely dangerous.

@inthehands@hachyderm.io3. Control is a key concept here. I don’t want corporations controlling kids, but I’m not keen on regulators doing that any more than absolutely necessary — or even parents! (And yes, I am a parent.) The goal of raising healthy kids should be for them to develop healthy autonomy.
True, we don’t let toddlers wander onto the freeway so they can learn for themselves why that’s bad — but if control has a place in caring for kids, it should be carefully circumscribed, and always pointed in the direction of autonomy. Beware authoritarian tendencies in the nurturing of children.
