@kara_dreamer @mona@icosahedron.website Why not keep me as a politically themed account?
@KevinCarson1 @shoutcacophony @noelle @GinnyMcQueen@kitty.town @ghost Ugh, I had my belly full of the "MOST PROGRESSIVE EVAR" (i.e. a few more iotas liberal than the status quo left by Pres. Obama) warcry when it was all I saw from purportedly leftist blogs during the election.
@GinnyMcQueen@kitty.town While I am not from kitty.town, my own instinct is to relax on spoiler warnings after perhaps a year...but I still find people who haven't played "Undertale" yet, for example.
@garbados :=3 *tailswishes* What if anything this has to do with consciousness and free will, if anything, I have no idea.
@shoutcacophony @noelle @GinnyMcQueen@kitty.town @KevinCarson1 @ghost Offer of peace not redeemable in certain embassies.
@garbados The density can be known and accurately calculated but the outcome of any *single* interaction of individual particles can never be accurately known, only the average behavior of large numbers of interactions.
@garbados What you think of as "physical laws" have no definite existence. Just as the laws that we call "thermodynamics" can be derived from the statistical analysis of the motions of individual molecules of matter, other "laws" are simply the average behavior observed in huge number of interacting particles. Under the right conditions, even on the macroscopic level, these averages do not apply, and we get anomalous large-scale behavior that seems to "break" these laws.
@garbados It is baked in at the quantum mechanical level. At the most fundamental level, everything is a probability density, not a certainty.
@ghost @GinnyMcQueen@kitty.town @KevinCarson1 There is the vague hint of uneasy acknowledgement in the "You should see the other guys!" slogan, the ghost of a recognition that the Democratic leadership is really making a pig's breakfast of appealing to...well, anyone.
@jalefkowit @Riley Yes, indeed. I was there, as well, and while I did no real web development I still recall documentation of the sort I'd like to read now.
@ghost @GinnyMcQueen@kitty.town @KevinCarson1 these are difficult to imagine as successful bumper stickers, but I imagine they'd be suitable for printing on bespoke cornflower-blue paper napkins, for use at $5000-a-plate fundraising dinners
@jalefkowit Ah, excellent! finally a helpful reply.
@Riley Not funny, but thanks for the effort.
Is it in fact possible to find archived HTML references and style guides written in the days before Netscape tempted us fatally down the primrose way?

I'm about to make a research about #mastodon and it's community to also find out what should be improved.
It will basicly be a quantitative research.
What would you like to know from mastodons community, if there's anything?
Here're some questions I had in mind:
- why did you joined mastodon?
- are you thinking to switch back to twitter?
- in which way do you contribute to mastodon?
- In which way do you think of contributing in the future?
hrm. Garry Kasparov will be playing in a rapid tournament soon against a strong field of elite grandmasters. I must admit I am rooting for him.

@Elizafox Is your objection to the complaints about fireworks a matter of whether they're just, or merely whether they're effective? If only the second, then I am not sure what your complaint it.
@Elizafox Also not anything I want going on outside my window at midnight unless there's a damn good reason for it.
@noelle @DensetsuNoGomez I admit my own knowledge has faded with time, and I have some jaundiced ideas (particularly about Rome) not universally shared. I detest Augustus for example
@noelle @DensetsuNoGomez And I assure you as a one-time student of Classics, the general level of popular understanding of Greece and Rome is abysmal
