@halcy only once, because I'm a baller like that

Huh, apparently all you need for a bunch of white male USAians to give a tiny shit about massive human rights abuses is for a company from that country to give $150 million to reddit

@maple blorb

crochet pirate flags

they're made of yarrrrn

@noelle the Borrowers are baking again

@maple *charges bun with headpats*

@Taweret@octodon.social have you ever seen a software dev have half a dozen monitors on their desk?

it's like that

@evie it's a 5 second mini-trailer for ads and then the full trailer for those that want to see the trailer

they could split those into two videos so people didn't see mini-trailer then full trailer but they don't want to split the view count because youtube algorithm

@cassolotl the meds I'm on certainly do the trick

and even if I do have one then the witnesses are lot more concerned than I am

"ARE YOU OKAY?!?!"
"huh? yeah, where's nearest cup of tea?"
"YOU WERE OUT FOR AN HOUR!"
"oh yeah, does that sometimes, again, where's the tea?"

@cassolotl that's what one of the docs said when I first went to them for the symptoms, on my records I think they listed the whole catatonia thing as "non-epileptic attack disorder" which I believe is code for "nope, no idea, but it's kinda funky and we wouldn't mind poking about if we had the time"

@cassolotl with me the non-verbal is always a prelude for going catatonic if I don't get some diazepam in me so I'm assuming they're linked in me

and the "switch to a second language I don't know well" is just bizzare but it seems to work for me, idle speculation is that my brain stores languages I'm not good at in a different place than speaking my native language but 🤷

brains be weird

@cassolotl I get much the same thing, almost always stress triggered

I've found when the vocal subroutines crap out I can still write things down on paper or switch to a language I only half know

@noelle I'm pretty sure there are more exceptions to the "rules" of english than there are examples where the rule applies

@noelle "please clap"

@maple @Anarkat also the x61t is cool as hell, why would you want to upgrade from that?

@Anarkat I'm not even sure if it's a cash grab

Could well be just him deciding to make another "film" with the remainder of the cash from the D. B. Cooper incident

(which also happens to be my favourite theory of where he came from)

@maple oh god yeah, inkscape: it works but it's a pain in the arse

@maple bestest squobit!
