That has:

• reasonably accurate heart rate and step tracking
• a way to view/export my data that isn't a pain, mainly so i can see progress/goals
• (this is probably the tricky one) has minimal/no need to sign up for an account somewhere, or less likely to use my data to sell me things

i don't know why it's such a surprise when someone bigoted in one way is bigoted in other ways too tbh

• In an extremely relatable fashion, Miéville explains he was so irritated at either bad faith or just plain bad critiques of the manifesto that he decided to do it himself

• While my dude is explaining he "doesn't get his knickers in a twist" about the fine grain semantic distinctions between socialism, communism and etc, there is a fight in the chat about the fine grain semantic distinctions between socialism, communism and etc...

• One thing that makes his promotional pictures so funny is that yes, he looks like he's about to throw down, but he's so soft spoken and does not shy away from earnestly caring about others: a lot of communism/socialism is about love and yearning for something better for people. "To be a socialist is to yearn"

• On why he writes nonfiction sometimes: "It's distracting to live in a shithole world. I would like to write silly books about monsters and try poetry and all that, BUT"

• hate is good, actually: "who would you be not to hate this hateful system?"

Also, ending on an idealistic high note, when asked about the practicalities of how realistic he thinks part of the manifesto are:

none of this is realistic and all of it is necessary

Shoutouts to my friend for waiting an hour before playing Strive matches while I finished this up. I'm surrounded by the best folks. 🥰
