@HauntedOwlbear

Kudos on cooking a meal you enjoyed. That's always satisfying

I recently found myself telling someone that, "I don't have any compassion left for terrible people", and I think that maybe those are words to live by

@Infoseepage That's pretty much what the white stealthmask is/was. They took their black industrial mask and changed he color to white, and yeah, the pink filters are a legal requirement in the US, which is why I mentioned the EU versions being white. I actually had an EU GVS for a while ( I used it up), and the white ffp3 fitler is a lot less in your face than the pink p100 (also MUCH easier to breathe in)

@Infoseepage i didn't consider rain on the pancake filters, because I live on a semi arid island that has months where it doesn't' rain, and can usually avoid going out on the days it does rain. I had a mutual on another social media platform from Seattle, who was also concerned about rain resistant filter housings, so that makes sense.

By the way, you might find it useful to know that, unlike NIOSH certified filters (which are bright pink) the European CE rated versins of filters are white (FFP3 is closer to n99 than p100 if that matters, though)

@Infoseepage north and 3m p100 filters are still like 8-10 bucks a pair?

@Infoseepage stealthmask has a similar design of eye protected masks that you might look at. They are also valved, but it's another similar option

@AnarchoNinaWrites My voting address is in a state that people just sort of stopped calling part the Midwest and started calling it part of the south, so I definitely can relate. When a mutual of mine moved to another state, I gave her my congratulations

@HauntedOwlbear Apparently, the incoming administration intends to classify any reference to trans people in media as pornography, and to ban all pornography, because that's the kind of country America wants to be now.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!

A reminder that if you don't feel like you would be safe at a Thanksgiving gathering you've been invited to, it's okay not to go. Keeping yourself and/or your loved ones safe is the moral and ethical choice, and you shouldn't feel guilty about making it

@DrPsyBuffy I can imagine, and, sadly, it's not just books, but other (probably all) media as well. I've read about some of their plans for video games, since that's my industry, and they are... not great.

I just coined a new term for people who are still making an effort to avoid getting and spreading covid. "Covid Rational." I think that I'll be using it from now on.

@HauntedOwlbear Thank You! She did mention that you enjoyed it, and I really do appreciate hearing that from you, especially since you're a writer yourself. I'd love to know a couple things you particularly liked if you don't' mind? Release week is stressful and it makes me happy to hear what people liked.

@HauntedOwlbear Also disabled people. One of those "anti-woke" curators complained that one of our games had a... colorblind accessibility mode"

A steam curator named "Woke Ccontent Detector" said the following about our game Kitsune Tails:

"Contains overtly pro-LGBT+ messaging. Features multiple lesbian characters, including the player character. Features lesbian romance."

It's great when a person really understands what we're going for and I thought it was a lovely review and wish more people could read it, even if they did not recommend the game! 😉

@HauntedOwlbear @eniko

I cant' speak for @eniko, especially since a lot of my family are actually pretty good about it, but I enjoyed your story about the printers, if that helps.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I was pretty dubious that the Dems would replace him, but that article made me reconsider, because you just don't' see a lot of articles that read like that one...

@HauntedOwlbear Those look similar to some of the lighter weight options from Stealthmask. They do look nice

@HauntedOwlbear Kind of. I think that it's not wanting to let people down? It's often easier to do things for others like that than for one's self

@HauntedOwlbear have I mentioned that you're an awesome person that I'm glad to know?
