Did someone say something about you that's pissing you off? Don't just get angry! Stop, take a deep breath, calm yourself down before you reach full-on anger mode, then re-read what they said, taking particular care not to take it personally just yet. It's possible you've misunderstood what they said, and there might be a much better way of responding than to get angry. It's possible that it is personal and they're saying what you thought they said, but don't just assume! Respond, don't react.
Disappointingly hot leftism take
@auravulpes it's like a bandage, it ain't gonna fix the massive hole in your torso, but it's a good idea to put one on and try to stop much more damage from happening

Voting won't win any lasting structural changes, but it is the difference between life and death for anyone who isn't a straight, white, wealthy cis male. It's not meaningful in the long-term, but it is harm reduction and stops many of your potential allies from being killed.
@Nervengift The fun part is when someone (say, me) comes up and goes, say, "Hmm. I use and really like both vim and emacs...which bathroom do I use?" then stands there for 10 minutes trying to figure it out before giving up and finding a bathroom elsewhere
@calendarbot nice
@esvrld@octodon.social 'donner' or the (perhaps mildly-pretentious) latin 'homesor' (from 'homo' man + 'ēsor' eater), in the vein of something like 'homicide'. (I do not guarantee the accuracy of this latin. This is literally latin I've worked out from wiktionary.)
Or some other language! I mean, hell, we could just start using the english 'man-eater'
Tired: "men are too emotional to be leaders." *replicates the sexist assumption that unemotionality is always a superior trait and is inherently associated with dominance/authority.*
Wired: "Men aren't emotional enough to be leaders." *Hot take. Asserts the value of traits devalued by patriarchy. Radically re-envisions what leadership ought to look like. Doesn't throw men who experience positive emotions intensely under the bus for being insufficiently "in-control" (read: masculine).*
@trashcat@www.librepunk.club One of the big things I don't get is the idea that explaining will make it not funny. Having to explain the joke will mean it's not funny, huh? You know what else makes a joke not funny? Not getting it. At least explaining it has the chance for a small chuckle once they get it.
i think we should be valid in our intrests and shouldn't HAVE to be 'good' at things to enjoy them
imagine how amazing and beautiful itd be for people to be themselves create for themselves vs worrying about that next bill that next paycheck when we should have all our necessities free/things supplied for
money is so fucking fake and worthless and only used to monopolize people's lives into acting like this is all we should do/be
it shouldn't be like this.
lewd, kink, bit of fiction rambling
A bratty, submissive hacker and her robotic domme. She reprograms her domme while she's charging to make it where she can force her domme to kneel at the push of a button. One day, as her domme gets up and starts going to punish her, she pushes the button. The domme drops to her knees, helpless before the woman she thought she had so much control over. The hacker taunts her, "Heh. Not quite as powerful as we thought, are we?"
