Once more for the people in the back:
Put content warnings on your politics posts. I come to Mastodon specifically to avoid the horrible things in the news.
I don't care how urgently you want me to see it. In fact, adding a content warning will make me *more* likely to care, because it will give me time to brace myself.

Your message will get further with a CW. By not CWing your politics etc., you're preventing people from boosting them, because people can't always deal with difficult subjects Right Now. Saying 'I don't CW this/that' gives the impression that you don't care about spreading your message in a meaningful way, you just want to force the closest people to look at it, whether that helps or hurts.
It takes a lot of us awhile to absorb this, but please, try to accept it.
please boost.

international solidarity
No matter where we live, working people have the same enemy: a ruling class that starves, abuses, exploits, neglects us and sends us to die in their ridiculous wars that have nothing to do with us.
I have more in common with any given clock-punching Iranian than I do with the bloodless creeps who run our foreign policy death cult. They're not my "team."

She saw on TV that ghosts made things cold, and she'd always had chilly feet at night.
So she found a stone with a hole through the middle and she waited under the covers until the chill made her toes curl.
Gently, she sat up, closing one eye and holding the stone up to the other.
Shimmering and thin as a beam of moonlight, the cat stretched and resettled on her feet.
She smiled and went back to bed, careful not to kick.
She'd always wanted a cat.

Can we please refer to the seemingly definitely coming conflict in Iran properly? It's not gonna fuckin' be World War III. It's gonna be Iraq War IV (the sequel to Iraq War I, Iraq War II, and Iraq War III: War in Afghanistan). And if you live in the US, no, you're probably not going to die. Unless you're forced into the army by economic necessity, you probably won't even see combat, and there's no fuckin' way this conflict will ever actually hit home.
There's my two cents.
birdsite link, uspol
An acquaintance of mine pretty much spot on with this take on the whole Iran thing:

I really really really don't get when people are like "fuck your self care, (important thing) is happening." Like, what do you think it means? It doesn't mean don't ever do anything, just be selfish. It means take care of yourself.
You literally can't do anything for any length of time unless you take care of yourself. You gotta care more about yourself than the people who exploit us.

fuck it.
all first person shooters should have unlimited firearm ammo
unless it is a stealth or tactical shooter FPS where teeny tiny little magazines and clip sizes are a part of the rules of the game
but yeah, HΞ»lf-Life, RAGE, BioShock, hell even Halo and Tribes should all at /least/ have official modes where everyone has unlimited ammo, provided you can possess the weapon
i think Tribes definitely allows you set the server settings to unlimited ammo, because Tribes is pure pwnage, but you get my point -
this is a piece of software, not a gun club, etc - you're not actually ''good'' at a game if you only shoot small amounts of bullets
(ffs, even Destiny - /especially/ Destiny!!)

"I use Linux as my operating system," I stated proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swiveled around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually," he said with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!" I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk: "I use Abyss, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but not GNU+Linux."
The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body began convulsing, he foamed at the mouth, and he dropped to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhed around he screamed, "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" In a cool fashion, I replied "Abyss uses the LLVM compiler suite, GCC uninvolved."
With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life was ejected from his body. He lied on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.

Thankfully, I seem to have a small hint from the two times these sorts of attacks have happened: confrontation in a high-stress situation. It's fight, flight, or freeze, but my brain has frozen wanting to flee, and my body's taken control and decided to fight. That's not the best way of describing it, but it's kinda along the lines of what's happening.
