"well i tooooold you guys the nazis would figure out how to undo it so we shouldn't even botheerrrrrr"

sometimes the act of being seen to even make a fucking miniscule effort to state you are no friend of nazis is important, even in open-source software, you fucking fossbro idiots, which is something you all might realize if you stop assuming every single person has the same technological expertise that you do

starting to think the ortho's theory about that attachment point of my bicep gone haywire because i can tell something is in a horrid cramp but How Do You Stretch The Middle Of Your Armpit

@InspectorCaracal i mean i was raised southern baptist so i'm still a bit behind on What Do You Mean I Don't Get My Tiny Cup Of Welch's Grape Juice

@Sapphicgiraffic@snouts.online @InspectorCaracal that may be for the holy water when it's onto day 4 of the weeklong convention and the smell from the fighting game tournament begins to permeate

@Sapphicgiraffic@snouts.online @InspectorCaracal alternate solution:

holy super soaker

@InspectorCaracal i mean some places do have a ceremonial spoon i think for the wine

it's supposed to be a bit more hygienic than slurping from the same cup bc ew backwash

so if you got a long enough teaspoon.....................

@InspectorCaracal well if they do wear their fursuits, don't worry

@maple the proper thing to do is for me to either woman up and remember i've got a pillowfort account, or ..............figure out how to self edit

until then let me bear PART 125897/? as a MARK OF SHAME, AS IT SHOULD BE, for my sheer verbosity l m a o

sometimes i wonder about starting an alt on an instance with a greater character limit but i don't think i need to be encouraged in any way to write More Words

concept: final steps of faith but instead we have a version of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsQPcCDo5a4 with 'nidhogg' instead of 'eggnog' #ffxiv #ihavegoodideas

Please Insert Obligatory Joke About Catholic Priest 'Dog Collars' Here

Please Also Mentally Insert a Variation of the "Sasuke has become CATHOLIC" Meme Because Right Now I Am Too Spoonless To Make That In MsPaint

i can't find it now but i confess a couple hours ago i saw a toot that said "i chose snouts.online because it had a lot of people from mass" and for a good 15 minutes i forgot massachusetts gets abbreviated like that and i was just like

"oh, catholic furries? seems nice"

and my brain accepted this. i did not question at all a bunch of furries showing up on sunday to go take communion in fursuits. just immediately accepted this as total truth

and now i am haunted about Why You Do That Brain

(davalia voice) oh boy, i can't wait to see all my buddies at the Waking Sands who are definitely still alive and not murdered by garleans whatsoever

now, i am definitely not a fan of, say, china's approach to cosmetic animal testing - which is "if you want to sell it here, and you didn't make it here, you MUST test it on animals, or at least allow us to do so".

i don't think every single product needs to be tested every time - that is wasteful on multiple levels.

buuuuut.

it's a tool developed for a *reason*. we ignore that purpose at our peril.

if i wanted to get even more 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ ,

at some point, "no animal testing! we'll just trust companies to recall products, and consumers can inform each other of problems!" is not really a solution, because animal testing is still being performed... ....on humans who can't adequately fight back if they have an adverse reaction, because they are too poor/unknowledgeable about regulatory agencies/don't have clout to be heard online/etc.

i'm not exactly gung-ho about cosmetic animal testing - *medical* animal testing is still very much needed, and i think cosmetic animal testing can be reduced down to next-to-nothing fairly easily, e.g. test specific new ingredients or to answer specific questions

but

kinda like how uber doesn't want to admit regulations on taxis exist for reasons, there are reasons beyond "we hate bunnies" that cosmetic testing is/was done

"we can't have ANY animal testing EVER in our cosmetics!!!" and "i don't understand how this makeup that's unsafe can't be proven to be unsafe as to force a recall!!" are two problems and positions far more related to each other than the beauty gurus on youtube and such want to admit or consider
