Eesh. sorry you got that. Glad you caught it before they did something nasty.

related: I've been pretty happy with my decision to require approval for follows.

@hellomiakoda seconded.

That being said, i have seen 1 (and only one) good use of them. https://rain.thecomicseries.com/ had a drawing of each of the characters holding an umbrella in the colors of the character's respective pride flag. There was one straight person and because the straight pride flag existed, he got to have an umbrella that wasn't just blank.

But, I don't think that's a good enough edge case to justify its existence.

@hellomiakoda I kinda love it. It feels playful.

I like it when people play with the language

An old coworker said “People fear, public speaking more than they fear death.”

She was trying to be empathetic about people’s fears of speaking, but honestly that’s how it should be. Death is inevitable and unavoidable. There is nothing you can do to prevent it. It’s coming.

The only rational response is to accept that and deal with the things you can control, like public speaking.

Yes, fearing public speaking more than death is a very reasonable and healthy perspective.

@hellomiakoda I don’t know what Chronos Time is, but I’m pretty sure I don’t wanna play it now

@hellomiakoda @meadow yeah. My wife only does light roast lattes with plenty of steamed milk, and they still taste burnt to me. Stout beers taste like burnt bread to me.

@hellomiakoda @meadow it just taste burnt to me. It smells delicious though. And my wife is a coffee snob with a really high-end machine and really picky about her beans. I am reasonably confident I’ve only tasted the good stuff.

On the other hand. She thinks my tea is just as terrible as I think her coffee is and I’m a tea snob. I don’t understand how people can go without drinking this delicious brew.

@whitequark A. wow. B. Are you getting paid for this work? I’m really hoping you are.

@selzero @codinghorror No. They never show. It's literally just a handful of characters waiting around for Godot and saying mostly boring shit.

It _could_ be cool if they said anything that really made you stop and think about your life, or the world, but they don't.

@selzero @codinghorror why do people keep putting this play on? It’s like the most boring pointless play ever.

@hellomiakoda @pete haribo gummies aren’t stiff enough for your liking?

Anyone seen an #ActivityPub library written in #Scheme (any flavor) or #Smalltalk ?

I'm not finding any sign of either.

@regtur of course @cwebber ‘s the one who wrote it. Kind of silly of me not to just CC her on my question in the first place.

🙇♀️ thank you Christine

I keep seeing memes about #ActuallyAutistic people loving trains.

And yeah, a lot of autistic people do like trains, but we're not a 🤬 monolith.

It's like saying that "allistic people love sports."

We each have our own special interest, just like you do. We just tend to get more intense about the things we love.

It's just frustrating. Even more so when it's other autistic people not recognizing that we're not unique individuals.

@gianmarcogg03 I'd add that it's not only morally correct to block ads but that being able to is part of the design of the web. Web sites have no control over what the client will render. Search engines don't ingest ads, and you wouldn't want them to. blind people don't see them in their browsers, command line browsers don't see them.

Layout and visuals simply aren't relevant in various contexts. We're SUPPOSED to be able to choose what we see of a page and how we display it.

#LGBTQ pride humor.

I've put together a list of the ~75 books I've read so far this year (mostly sapphic romance) with quick thoughts on each.

Doctors: I've got a patient with a genetic disorder that results in serious executive dysfunction and memory issues that will never go away, and they need drugs.

Politicians: Cool, but there are bad people in the world so we're going to require your patient to remember to call, and then overcome executive dysfunction to call. Meanwhile we’ll convince therapists and pharmacists that the drugs are "as bad as meth" & ignore reality

Doctors: Uhh.

Politicians: cool. The law just passed.

#ADHD

@JessTheUnstill @lisamelton TIL some guys bitch about women with vocal fry.

Dafuk is wrong with men?

#ADHD Torch Theory

I like it. Unfortunately the name is catchy but misleading here in the US. We call them flashlights
