Car discourse
Not got much to say other than I feel "ban cars" and the subsequent backlash shows the need for us to not try to compress politics down into as small a soundbite as possible. Like, I doubt anyone saying "ban car" wants all cars gone tomorrow without properly implementing public transportation everywhere. But, the nature of politics today is to have compressible soundbites, so even "ban cars *after we get good public transport*" is too much to say.
Urgent, a real revolution
Hey Mastodon - so we here are going through a real student movement in India. If you can help tell me:
- alternate domains for email, docs etc
- alternate ways for quick comm during internet shutdown
- ways to protect your identity from online surveillance
- ways to keep yourself away from getting the right wingers attention on Instagram
- what else is needed for a revolution? IDK its my first one.
All help, is going to be rewarded with blessings. This thread will be shared with other protestors.
self-harm (+)
Aw, shit. I complete forgot that yesterday marked 2 months since the last time I self harmed. It's honestly a little hard to believe that I've managed to make it this far on my own. The only other time I came close was when I had a roommate. I didn't figure I'd be able to stop without the fear of someone walking in and finding out, but lo and behold, here we are. I'm proud of me. This is an accomplishment, and I should celebrate it!
...Unfortunately, I'm broke.
The Story of Texas in one sentence, but more succinct
A bunch of white guys moved here then kept getting pissed about blacks getting equal rights (or even "status as more than just chattel")
The Story of Texas in one sentence
A bunch of white dudes moved to Mexico, then got pissed when Mexico's laws changed forbidding them from owning slaves, so, rather than moving back from whence they came, they stole a good chunk of Mexico and later decided to join the US, where they'd later get pissed about the US doing the same thing.
Things that make me go "Gods. fucking. damn it. You had ONE JOB."
Turns out, blocking someone on FurAffinity doesn't stop their art from showing up on the front page. Good job!
You had *ONE JOB* and you completely fucked it.
*Grumble grumble* why do i even bother with this site anymore *Grumble grumble*
Gotta say, I kinda like ebay sellers who don't actually understand what they're saying and are kinda just putting keyword spam in. They're amusing. Like with the "Military 1W 532nm Green Laser Pointer" I found. Do they realize that 1W puts it at being firmly a class 4 laser that *ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A LASER POINTER*? No. No, they do not.
(And, ofc, going by the reviews (and some "common sense"), it's not even a 1W laser. My guess? Maybe low power class 3B (~5-25mW) *at best*)
Plural, context
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. 🤞💗
Enbies: Sadly, we don't have enough data to build a statistical model yet, but we all know they are going have a better one than men.
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"
I have a hard time explaining this to people. Even my therapist
