As a Texan it is really sad to see this shit happening. The state used to be all about personal freedoms and staying the fuck out of your personal life, but the political theater has just been “own the libs” for the last decade.

FFS the clowns in charge just tried to pass a law that would neuter the larger metropolitan areas’ ability to pass their own legislation because even gerrymandering the high hell out of the state we are still turning purple. Unfortunately, the state is held hostage by rural communities who are afraid of melanin and think Jesus was too “woke”.

Can’t be Houston, he said 7 lane highway not pothole ridden, Mad Max hellscape

The only confusing part was when people were speaking (until I turned captions on).

I swear Nolan needs to listen to his audio team more often.

If DARPA was Lawful Evil

My go-to is “It didn’t quite hit for me, but that’s the beauty of the reader’s perspective. What stood out to you?”

As someone who has read a lot of absolutely shit-teir books (think the zombie obsession circa mid 2000s), I’m ok saying if something didn’t resonate with me.

Arguing about which instance is best / instance superiority / complaining about users from _______ instance.

My friends, we are on a collective group of web pages being hosted an run by individuals as a fucking hobby. Shut. Up.

To the admins, thank you.

Pick one:

“Sarge, Pvt Snuffy borrowed my fursuit and returned it all crusty”

Or

“Sergeant, why is half your unit in AA?”

As a left leaning individual with multiple firearms and plenty of ammunition for them, might want to consider there are plenty of us are part of that 47%.

Obviously a sample bias, but quite a few fellow veterans that I went to college with could put my meager collection to shame and share similar viewpoints.

That being said, your doomer outlook and gross oversimplification/assumptions are a joke. There will be no civil war, assholes will continue to be assholes, and you are still making this shit up as you type. Most of these Meal Team 6, cosplaying motherfuckers are too chickenshit to have an altercation where they aren’t the only one with the scary broomstick, and 99% of the blowhards wouldn’t last a day in an actual combat scenario let alone a “war”.

Bigots are bigots and will constantly attempt to suppress that which doesn’t align with their narrow minded worldview, however a civil war is not on the horizon… JFC get over yourself.

Which is why it is amazing

Not even gonna mention the masterpiece that was Tremors 4?

The Fediverse is already fractured and niche, are you saying that someone should fine the perfect 36 user community, that only those subscribers are knowledgeable about, to post this to? Or perhaps news about the global platform might be relevant in the largest technology community?

2 years ago Twitter was where news broke, now it is where we get to watch a billionaire go broke in real time.

If it bothers you so much, block all mentions of the platform, person, etc.

I agree with you. Personally I like seeing the meltdown without having to actually visit the site. Same reason I appreciate seeing how Reddit has gone full Digg4.0 but haven’t visited the site since the 3rd Party Apps died.

This is/has a significant impact on technology and media.

Gerber Shard multitool. Thing has come in handy so many times.

Bonus: Only useful multitool I’ve found that the TSA won’t give you shit over.

Eh, I think it is more the fact that men aren’t willing to open up about shit when it is bothering them and they want to share. I don’t want to have a 30 minute share session at the start of all conversations, but it should be normalized that when a close friend asks how you are that you can say “Honestly not good because of X, Y, and Z and this is how I feel” without being made to feel like a freak.

Possibly, but could also just be a regional/being an ass thing.

I’m in the Southern US and if you don’t sidestep or flat out get out of the way of someone (not just a woman) with a “pardon me” you’re seen as a jackass.

However, I’ve traveled the world and as a 6 foot tall, 200lb man I got a wide berth when walking down the sidewalks in a lot of countries, have to get out of the way in others, seen people cross the street when they saw me, but then have some 5’ nothing dude with a chip on his shoulder try to start a fight with me for existing in Boston (note this is just a very Boston thing)

I mean, there was this one perfect instance that it didn’t, however the 25 on the second attack downed me…

Man, I had this happen back in college. Went on a date where she thought tiramisu sounded gross because of “lady fingers”…

So she ordered the “cream brooly”.

That’s not creepy/scary AF

Did you buy it the day it released?

Want to continue to be a pedantic jerk?

Want me to share a receipt?

Sorry you are butthurt people are enjoying a thing. Now shut up
