People still don’t know what Mastodon is. I mentioned it recently and someone asked, “isn’t it mostly white supremacists?”

Kind of, and it was a good way to keep trolls and spammers out of sensitive communities, but unfortunately with bots and astroturfing existing nowadays, karma incentives terrible behavior.

I usually feel this way, but I was at a pizza place a, while back, and the cheese on the cheese pizza just looked so much gooier than on the others… I still wonder how much better my life would be if I’d had the gooey cheese instead of the goo-less supreme…

I was a beta reader once and the guy rejected all my alterations where I fixed the quote punctuation. So maybe?

I’m with your girlfriend. I don’t find pineapple on pizza disgusting, but for some reason it just doesn’t gel for me. Same with sausage and jam on a biscuit… One or the other, please!

But anchovies on pizza… yessssss. Get them salty, grimy fuckers in there.

Never found the right balance. 🤷 I said “fuck it” anyway, because there’s a few reasons being less feminine is more comfortable for me. I like lifting weights but hate a sweaty scalp, so bye bye hair. I like the fit of men’s shirts more. And I realized that there’s a lot clothes and accessories that I find pretty to look at, but I don’t really get anything from wearing them.

It sucks because customers and family both make rude comments, but at least my clothes are comfy.

Too feminine: weak, controllable

Not feminine at all: ugly troll, clearly failed at being feminine and this is just cope

Never saw them in person, but man, I wanted a pair as a kid. I wanted to roll around at the speed of sound.

I think there is such a thing as lazy, but it’s when you push your responsibilities off onto another person solely because you can get away with it. The ex who leaves the dishes dirty and tells you, “I don’t know, they just come better when you wash them”, for instance.

I’m assuming CGI or something. They don’t immediately read as AI to me. I don’t see any torn/fuzzy edges, and while the shape of the bookshelf is obviously whimsical, it’s not the sort of nonsense perspective I associate with AI.

I could be wrong of course, I just don’t see the usual tells.

Meh. If you’re the sort of person who cares, you probably stopped using TikTok when they started sucking up to Trump. If you still use it, you probably support Amazon, too.

I dunno, I have a sibling I’ve never met because they were kidnapped before I was born. Teaching a kid to be safe doesn’t give them the ability to overpower adults.

I think when they get a little older you obviously need to stop tracking them, but I also don’t think it’s bad to want to know where your little kids are.

I do think it’s bad to use an app that has their full names and pictures, though. That’s common sense.

If people are actually protesting, of course I don’t consider it a joke. I just thought the one in February 5th was a joke, everyone was guilt tripping me for asking questions but refused to answer them.

Three different start times, two different addresses, and everyone pretending there’s a signal chat just feels like a trick.

50501 didn’t turn out to be a prank? My state’s “organizer” was a deleted reddit post with no other contact info, the posters named three different start times, and only two people claimed to have links to the signal chat and stopped replying when I asked for it, even though they offered.

I visited the subreddit three days before it was supposed to take place, and they were still figuring out basics. One of the top posts was discussing the dress code (consensus seemed to be wearing blue + American flag scarfs), and the one person pointing out how impractical and dangerous that was for a protest was getting downvoted.

Thats the reason I’m not protesting, btw. One protest in my area and it seemed like either a joke, a honeypot, or like a teenager came up with it.

Two very different answers here 😛

There are a lot of people who would rush me to the hospital but also voted to take away my rights and worse. I don’t know if I believe in good people these days.

God, infowars. I swear my brother bought coffee or something from them and it dragged my mother down the far right rabbit hole with him. I wish I could go back in time and do something more than cringe when he showed me the packaging that said “wakey wakey America”.

I have the aesthetics of someone with their shit together!

I wouldn’t touch it. I don’t trust anyone to use it tactfully. All the people I’ve seen say “I’m disabled so I can use it” art like, low support needs, average IQ autistic people. Someone told me I can use it since I’m dyslexic.

My aunt was diagnosed with that term in the 50s and she was never able to read or write, couldn’t be independent for long stretches of her life. That’s different from me getting laughed at when I read a customer’s order.

They’ll regenerate like starfish. Infinite switches!
