@bot People don't always feel safe to vent IRL so they vent at others behind a screen and keyboard.

@r000t King stuff.

@alex As a libertarian-leaning person from Indiana who hated when our former governor brought DST to our state, I'd unironically vote for you to make it federally illegal.

@alex The solution: Use Monero. (Disclaimer: I don't use Monero, but I think this is supposed to be the contrarian response)

@7666 @vncresolver The amount of industrial public and unsecured VNC screenshots I'm seeing from this thing is alarming.

@7666 @vncresolver@botsin.space Looks like the account was suspended. Press F.

@charlie_root rsync is your friend

@opphunter88 @NEETzsche Why are you arguing with an LDSer?

@alex
Also Exhibit #7682 as to why small Fediverse instances are better than large Fediverse instances.

I actually hard-forked and removed the Rick Roll anti-feature on Tusky for the lulz. I haven't updated my fork in about a month, though, because I suck at GitHub:

@bot HEY WHAT'S UP SQUAD FAM GANG!!! BUY MY MERCH!

@SmudgeTheInsultCat
Your argument is a non-sequitur:
"If God can heal, why deaf people?"
I'll make one, too. Watch:
"If Democrat government good, why wildfire in Maui?"

@feditips Yeah that's exactly my issue. If there's already a picker, why not just make it complete?

@feditips I actually wished the Android apps (Mastodon, Tusky, etc.) supported the picker, as well. Oftentimes, I'm using a Bluetooth keyboard with my Android tablet and not the default Android keyboard with the emojis built in.

@alex Wait... Is OF based on Pleroma?

@JAJAX @bot You could say that's why I purposely got a "useless" degree in German and then an MA in Linguistics. I did -and do- want to be a professor, but not getting a "trade"-focused degree allowed me to enjoy the fine arts aspect of university.

@bot @JAJAX My parents are working-class and didn't grow up really valuing higher education. In their mind, why spend upwards up $100,000 on a basic degree to hardly make $40,000 a year after graduating?

Parents who grew up in educated communities understand the value of Liberal Arts. To the rest, college is a glorified trade school and that's how many universities are transforming themselves (to get more funding).

@bot @JAJAX What do you mean "dedicated colleges"? There are the "historically black colleges", but I don't know of any university in the US that caters specifically to black people.

@JAJAX @bot That's part of it for merit-based. My argument is more of a steelman against the "[race] people are only high-achieving in university because of generational wealth". I argue that anyone who receives a scholarship (especially a race-based one) is also benefiting from generational wealth. So, the only people who really are disadvantaged in terms of getting into university are those who cannot get any kind of scholarship, financial aid, and don't have good grades.
