Ok, so let me explain this to you. I'll try to be nice.

You are on Bluesky, which I refuse to interact with for obvious (by now) reasons.

You have clearly observed this, as you have created a standard Mastodon account to run in parallel.

Aside from being a bit stupid, whatever, it's just extra work for you.

But this is the part that you don't seem to understand: I ALSO will not click on the Bluesky links that you put into your non-Bluesky account. If I wanted to be on Bluesky, I'd be on Bluesky.

But I'm not just bitching and whining because I have a solution for you:

Make your primary posts on Mastodon, then link them to Bluesky. Voila! Now people that don't want to associate with Nazis aren't forced to.

Not that I know a lot of people or go out a lot, but something like this on your house would all but guarantee that you would never actually see me there.

@Urban_Hermit I'd like a tad bit more than that. Justice would be fantastic, but I'd settle for a hole in the neck.

@hellomiakoda My neighborhood has always been a bit sketchy. While there is no 'war', I will be happy to be elsewhere (France)

@hellomiakoda Hi!

I'm only here for another month or so but will probably have to come back in a few months.

I wonder who could have seen this coming except for everyone?

This is the first time I've wished that I could pin another person's post.

@br00t4c Why are these people always such lousy shots?

Maybe they should learn from Luigi and do it close up?

All because a bunch of bigots couldn't handle a woman of colour having power.

I will never forgive my country. Ever.

@br00t4c "How can these horrible people that I have enabled and supported be so horrible?"

They paid you, Joe. Take a nap on a pile of cash and wait for the next authoritarian that needs your support.

@br00t4c Her manager must be training to be a cop.

Oh. So the predictions that the progressives in Portland made came true?

Seems like they're probably paying the wrong experts.

@br00t4c Wow...the strongest worded one yet.

@br00t4c Huh. And ICE didn't find him?

Weird.

@br00t4c "the school district’s police force"

lol...I'm able to predict how this will turn out.

#ACAB

@br00t4c Are...is this happening?

I can't speak for "Democrats", being progressive and not at all wrapped up in the "take the high road" club, but from what I can see, just like when he was in school, nobody at all *wants* Elon Musk.

I'd feel bad for him but empathy is a fundamental weakness, apparently.

@br00t4c Pft..."exists as an image, so is not playable"

Once again, I had a dream (I seem to have a lot more of them when my wife's not in the picture).

I'm going to talk about it, even though nobody likes hearing about other people's dreams, because I'm told that talking about them tends to prime our brain to have more of them - and I love to dream (even nightmares are a lot of fun, usually).

In this one I was a prisoner. I'm not sure of which country or for what reason, but I got very strong "1984" vibes from the whole thing (presenting as a totalitarian type state).

I was being moved from one location to another with two guards. At one point, there was a door, and the door was broken. So the guards took a moment to try to fix it, while I stood idly by.

I indicated (there was no talking for some reason) that I might be able to fix the problem with the door; a big heavy metal door, like the kind that businesses use as their back door in sketchy areas. In the course of "fixing" the door, I disabled the latch, slipped through, and pushed the door closed behind me.

Then I ran. (I ran so far awaay)

I encountered what seemed to be an underground mall or something, escalators going down with lots of people coming up. Apparently there was some sort of crisis happening down so I figured I could get lost in the crowd. I think water was involved, but I'm not sure what the actual problem was because I just continued fighting my way through the crowds.

At some point the guards started to catch up, but I noticed that the general public surrounding me was making it easier for me to slip through than for the guards to make it to me. I periodically adopted or lost a hat, a shirt, a jacket, etc...anything to keep changing my appearance.

It was like the chase scene in Downey Jr's Sherlock Holmes, where everything was a "quick cut" and just rapid action.

Then my alarm went off and I was thoroughly disappointed with that because I really wanted to see how it ended.

#Dreams <--- This is the tag you want to mute if you don't want to read these.

@br00t4c Takes one to know one.

Anyone familiar with the Enneagram Institute or their testing?

Test costs $20 so I'm not super thrilled to take it without understanding a bit more about it.

Supposed to be a personality assessment, which historically haven't been fantastic, but this is supposedly "different".
