My generation has faced way too many crisis in one life time: first it was a Bubblegum crisis, then it was a Time crisis and finally a Dino crisis... so think about that the next time you ask me how I'm doing

If you ever think to yourself, I want to chat with that person, but I don't want to bother them.

STOP, go send them a dm, they may also want to chat with you, but feel too anxious to send a dm.

In the worst case scenario they will just ignore you, it's fine.

Please do dm people

Men worried about depopulation, but also opposed to any effort to make a world into which someone would want to bring a child.

Men who worry about replacing old with young, who also blame the younger generations for the state of this world, which their own older generations created.

Men worried about depopulation because there aren’t enough people, and also opposed to immigration because there’s not enough room for so many people.

Men who want people to have babies, but also opposed to becoming the sort of men anyone should want to have a child with.

me making blanket statements such as "i am very comfy" and "i am going to nap"

Discord's new update has added a setting that allows people with your phone number in their contacts to add you automatically (thus outing you to acquaintances and colleagues)

AND some people are reporting this was enabled for them by default (unclear why; I cannot repro this in my own testing)

AND it uses the same account-level phone number as is used for verification and SMS 2FA, so you cannot just remove your number

absolutely god tier s-rank copper-bottomed shithousery. if users give you phone numbers so they can be safer when using your service, you must NOT then use those numbers for growth hacking. this is basic stuff. ffs.

strongly urge you to go to Settings -> Privacy & Safety and turn off all three boxes below, if any are ticked

also revoke the contacts permission from the Discord app in your phone's main Settings app

We had surprise visitors today, so I didn't get around to post the pictures of the finished ram until now. I had a lovely day looking after my boyfriend's young niece. She assisted me in making an owl for her. ❤️🪡🧵🧶
