@ami_angelwings this also applies to Mamoru for Usagi in Sailor Moon. Dude is like a Junior in college, and starts dating either a middle schooler or a freshman in high school, depending on the version! The fuck?! Dude should have a restraining order.

Anyone know an easy way to convert a video on one’s phone to a smaller file size?

Recorded something today and would love to share it, but the file is too big for most platforms. Uploading to YouTube would mean figuring out having a YouTube channel, and I’d rather not bother yet 😅

@alice @altbot given that the majority of people are on the feddy because they have a problem with authority or people trying to control how they use things, it is literally the exactly wrong demographic to try to yell at people to change their behavior. Instead, appeal to their anti-authoritarian tendencies by pointing out how shitty mainstream social media spaces are to disabled people and you know this cool way people can stick it to Zuckerberg and Elon, and it just takes 10 seconds to do.

Does anyone know how to turn off or hide the AI summary of emails in gmail without turning off all “smart” features like sorting emails into the promotion or social inbox?

I genuinely think one of the most harmful things to my quality of life and mental health the last five years has been being forced to live in the suburbs.

It’s the little things - hours lost to traffic and driving that I could spend reading on a train or bus, being unable to just go outside and walk around, not having a cafe, library, or even non-sports bar open after 6 pm), and everything just designed to be as low stimulus and inoffensive as possible. For an ADHD brain, it just drains me of so much life. And I really do rely on having places outside the house to do things like write because of how my brain gets stuck at home and needs fresh stimulus.

It seems like we’re still going to be stuck in this situation for now, since I want to live with my wife (and can’t afford not to), which means being within roughly 30 minutes of her work.

I don’t understand why anyone would actively choose to live in the suburbs and really wish we had other choices available to us.

Anyone know of any job openings for someone like me?

Not a tech girlie, but have a masters in public policy and social research, two decades of experience in the nonprofit world with community and youth development, and I speak Japanese and Moroccan Arabic in addition to English. I am open to almost anything, at this point.

A thought that’s been bugging me since yesterday: in Christian mythology, God impregnates Mary with Jesus…but Jesus is also God…so Jesus had sex with his mom???

Is the fediverse dead or do we just need to get weirder? 🤔

I firmly believe we can shitpost our way back to a healthy social media ecosystem!

Oh, of course Gavin Newsom is against the tax on billionaires that is potentially going to be in our ballot this year. The same guy who fought for years to take it to the Supreme Court to be able to criminalize existing while unhoused. The same man that told lgbtq orgs a few years ago to stop asking for legislative help because he was going to veto anything beyond what was already in place, then started a podcast to talk about why he doesn’t think trans youth deserve equal participation in school life.

Tell me again why the hell so many Liberals like this man? Can we just not with the nepobaby frat bro that was bought by Silicon Valley billionaires ages ago?

Wait, what did I miss? Why is everyone talking about needing new alternatives to discord and other messaging services? 😅😅😅

Are we not using Signal? I thought we were using signal…did that get fucked up somehow too?

@skinnylatte my wife’s Filipino expat friends always plead for me to take them to Jollibee when they visit since we have two in the city. Always makes me chuckle how excited it makes them, but I know how wonderful a taste of home can be when living abroad.

Today’s my birthday! Now I’m curious: how old do my friends here think I am? 🤭

Here’s a recent picture of me absconding with a TARDIS for reference

It still gives me so much joy every time my mom sends me a message like this 🥰🥰🥰

So far, everyone is guessing me younger than I am…and I’m giggling,

For the record, I am officially 38 years old somehow! Hard to fathom, but going to celebrate every year I claw back from this world.

IT developers: If your website or portal setup makes me want to stab you or smash all your servers with a large hammer, you have fucked up.

I propose a new cardinal rule for IT infrastructure design: your website should not inspire the end user to want to commit felonies.

If you have ever had a social psychology experiment told you as a poignant story that illustrated a theory or idea, it has probably been debunked.

In the last 5 - 10 years, almost every famous 20th century social psychology experiment has been revealed to have been not reproducible, misrepresented, misinterpreted, or straight up wrong. This list includes:
-The Standford Prison Experiment
-The Milgram Experiment
-When Prophecy Fails
