@aradinfinity it's fucking bizarre honestly
i think far too many people do stuff out of a sense that it's what they're supposed to do. you're supposed to have someone you're dating, you're supposed to get married, you're supposed to have kids. the real sad thing is that i think it cheapens the joy of these things, which can all be good and joyful, if people go into them just blindly by rote instead of consciously choosing them
i know it's such a cliche for answers online/in columns about relationship advice to be "dump the motherfucking asshole", but
a) people typically don't come to ask advice for genuinely good situations. it's a bit like diagnosing someone being wheeled into the ER as a bit sick perhaps
b) motherfuckers need to be dumped and i will stop saying DTMFA when they stop needing to be dumped
ok reading advice columns to argue with advice given is most of the fun, but
the bigger red flag to me honestly was husband totally agreeing to spending the money without asking his partner
$1,500 dollars is not an amount of cash to be casually pissed in the wind. that's a pretty significant chunk of change. i ain't saying you have to hold a full meeting with your partner every time you buy a coffee, but when dealing with joint resources, they are *JOINT*, not just one person's
ok reading advice columns to argue with advice given is most of the fun, but
i know you were trying to treat the issue with kid gloves, but "my husband is wanting to go away on a bachelor party in mexico and spend 1500 dollars to do so 3 months after i give birth" is something that deserves a harder line, especially if husband's argument is "but i wanna tho" to "honey i'm going to need you here to help me and we'll have drained our meager savings by then too"

fairly certain that if you had checked me with a surface temp thermometer this morning my bad shoulder would be a good 10 degrees higher than my good one, if not more so
bury me in icepacks and menthol spray please
@Sapphicgiraffic@snouts.online @robotcarsley @shifter@polymorphic.cloud @root for the area of green mystery, may i offer for your consideration: cheezy poofs
mostly air and cronch so solid-gas mix but not as extreme as a bubble
@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz don't worry, you can stand next to me, where i mumble stuff like "you guys know that miyazaki did some anime episodes for lupin the third? they're pretty good you know! there's even a movie!" and look even *more* ancient, so you will end up looking full of vibrant youth in comparison
hey guys, the uncensored music video for Pagan Poetry is up on YouTube again! i give it about 2 more hours until it's deleted

happy bjork o'clock
also despite the most explicit thing seen in this is an whole nipnop, it is one of the most unrelentingly erotic things i've ever seen and would be hard to explain to your boss, so: cw nsfw, piercing play.
and now a grumbly subtoot before i go put my grumpy ass to bed
"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
re: community moderation, asking for help
@ky0ko @Kat it sucks when someone is genuinely trying but also still genuinely hurting people. the idea of some escalating consequences i think is a bit more of a gentle discouragement than an outright block, and if she gets upset by it, point out that it's not your job to set up people for her to accidentally hurt - it's your job to take care of the *community*. and sometimes that might mean not everyone is welcome.
re: community moderation, asking for help
@ky0ko @Kat it may be that there's something not registering to them as A Problem because "well i just come back in a day after i get unmuted, no problem." maybe changing the time/length variable might make it clear that not only is the behavior bad, but it is becoming increasingly egregious for others to have to deal with.
re: community moderation, asking for help
@ky0ko @Kat as a stranger rolling by, can i recommend a 'soft block' by way of rolling/increasing punishments?
e.g. "listen, we have tried to fix this issue with you, and now we're instituting a new punishment. next slip-up of this is a temp ban of x. after that, it's a temp ban of x+1. after that, it's a ban of x+a week. we know you struggle but you are also hurting other people, and i want you to be able to feel the gravity of that."
@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
