This was in regards to Jade and Miles and the way they're trying to work out a fused form to avoid the problems that come with secondary fronting and the like. Right now, they both keep fading in and out with a merger between. Hopefully, they get this worked out soon. 🤞💗

@BalooUriza @cooler_ranch @melissasage Bad idea based on this: Instances can't use ASCII, UTF-8 or any similar common encodings and encodings between instances aren't converted, so if your instance is using Shift-JIS and someone else's is using Windows-1251, you get garbled shit.

Mid life crises:

Women: I've started taking art classes and learning Korean. I'm not very good at either yet, but its fun to learn.

Men: I bought a car I can't afford and cheated on my wife.

If I was a youtuber I'd end every video with a setup where you think I'm about to talk about one of the 5 companies that sponsors youtube videos but instead it's an alternative that's just as good but free

Like I start talking about privacy online and you think "oh it's NordVPN" but I'm talking about Tor. Or I talk about learning new skills but instead of Brilliant or CuriosityStream or SkillShare it's your local public library, or makerspace, or arXiv/libgen/archive.org/etc

I talk about struggling to remember different passwords but when you think I'm gonna say "try dashlane!" I just go "use your browser's built-in password manager. did you seriously forget about that? really? every single browser offers to remember your passwords for you, why are you paying money for this shit"

Your idealistic refusal to partake in electoral politics mean NOTHING when people are dying in the streets.

Obviously, this isn't targeted at anyone who wouldn't be able to vote. If you wouldn't be able to take off work (or doing so would mean the difference between affording necessities and not affording necessities), or if your state prohibits you from voting or whatnot, this isn't aimed at you. This is aimed at those who *can* vote, but *refuse*.

To refuse to vote for any democrat who isn't as far left as Sanders (say, Biden), is to passively condone a large amount of the deaths that will occur should Trump win reelection with a republican majority in both houses. Yes, work outside the fucking system, but if you can't be assed to take that one day to vote (assuming you'll be able to do so), your indifference to electoral politics is a part of the cause for many of the deaths that will result. Harm reduction, people. Use it.
