There's no anomaly here. People, globally, volunteer their time to powerful public goods the moment they're not actively terrified that they'll lose their home, their food, and their freedom. Which means that capitalism requires us all to live in fear, always - because it can't compete with free.

When people are comfortable with asking for things it gives off a good vibe. I like to see people have respect for their own desires and be able to use their words. no one can read minds.

asking for things builds trust when you show people you can handle the word "no"

To be 100% clear on this:

Emails cost them nothing. They can delete them, ignore them, forget they exist, whatever.

But there is a dollar cost associated with every single customer service call. That's why most phone trees are over-automated these days. Calling messes up the C/S team goals.

Currently on the phone with Visa

Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use

The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch

(cont)

This is your cue to increase the pressure.

Yeah, I worked in customer support and, if it's a 'peak' of one day, they will not care. They'll wipe their hands and say "ok, volumes are back to normal, it's fixed"
If after a week they are still receiving pressure... Then they'll begin to get nervous

Dont stop contacting Visa/MC, but Itch needs Stripe specifically pressured right now.

Heads up for my American mutuals! The American Civil Liberties Union is running a petition against Mastercard (one of the entities behind the censorship of NSFW games on itch). Let's do our part and sign!

It’s almost like actually humanizing trans people—letting us be in the room—creates real change and deescalates the culture war instead of treating as pawns to elicits support over, problems for being “too controversial”, or villains for being vocal about our issues to people who aren’t listening.

hell yeah

watching a few british shows and suddenly thinking how we really need more normal-to-ugly looking women in things, just ambiently and in general. normal looking women who aren't all from model casting agencies. Once you start noticing it it's impossible to not notice it and it drives me nuts

Overlooked and underserved "What do you know about us? Rattus faber, I mean." The Dreamer does not wait for an answer. "To most of you, we're either unusually talkative vermin, or useful labourers. We make things – and we make them well. We eat less than a human, and we can live comfortably in a shoebox." There is a rising note of heat in the Dreamer's voice, and she occasionally breaks into a strained squeak. "That is the story London tells about us. And if we don't have other ones to push back, it'll become the story we tell to each other, too." There is a deep weariness to her voice. "We're not just tiny cogs in the big machine. Being part of the machine is so tiring, so all-consuming, that it's easy to forget that. And I don't think we should forget." You are learning more about the Piebald Dreamer and her 'quest'.

I usually post Fallen London screenshots that are hilarious or disturbing out of context, but I gotta stress that there's just as many moments where it says something extremely Real, even when the conversation is with a mouse that I met on the far side of a mirror.
