i guess that bothers me in part because i think sincerity is something that online communication easily loses, and that people are pushed to lose.
sincerity is, for lack of a better term, not very marketable. simply because sincerity is so individualized.
but i also see meme culture trapping people into vortexes of irony and pithy quips. and those things are nice, but they don't often make a fulfilling life on those things alone.
ok i realize this is largely a cultural difference, as it were, since i am very new to mastodon, the local vibe, and so on, but
@ the people who cw for sincerity:
are.... are y'all ok? are y'all good? do... do you want to like sit down and talk about it? because i'm worried about you. you don't have to be a constant funnyman making sweet memes for consumption. you can just be. i promise! i promise. come sit down and have a cup of hot cocoa, it's going to be ok.
anyway cinnaholic says everything they have is vegan. now, a vegan cinnamon roll, i will grant you, that is doable. ...but i'm not sure how this vegan cream cheese icing is going to go. (i'm hoping maybe it's the lone non-vegan thing in the store, and that information has been lost on the menu of the company i am using to deliver them to me for dinner.)

fat grumbling and sbutooting
"healthy at any size doesn't exist because i have health problems because of my weight"
cool. that's YOU. that's YOUR health. the anti-fatphobia movement is for more than just YOU.
additionally, health as the arbiter of worthiness is fucked up. some of us, like my disabled ass, will NEVER be "healthy".
i understand how you got into these thought loops but you don't gotta damage those around you by continuing to give them play and space in everyone's heads
seriously though.
same laptop, same conditions.
ffxiv, with everyone's spell effects, plus the fancy bosses, plus all other fucking nonsense, in a big raid? smooth as butter. no hiccups, no stutters. 24 people, shiny shiny spell effects, fancy clothing, crazy boss animations, adds - no problem.
WoW?
it's a 50-50 shot i actually load dalaran instead of getting booted from the server because WoW has a screaming tearful meltdown. and that's with maybe 2 other actual players in dalaran.
to further be a negative nancy: i wish people would get off my dick for two hot seconds whenever 'gamer laptops' are mentioned. yes i know a tower pc is better. do these chucklefucks ever stop to consider that there are Perhaps Reasons Why I Am Not Using A 'Proper' PC? and perhaps these reasons are Good Ones? that may connect to Being Disabled? SO MAYBE DON'T GET ALL "LOL GAMING LAPTOPS ARE TRASH AND ANYONE WITH ONE IS TRASH" YOU ABSOLUTE FROTHING DINGBATS?

i know they are attempting to be friendly, but man, major badfeels still with one person in this rp community. he said it was a joking overreaction, and i'm usually ok with the internet being a bit wild, but something rang scarily true when he was ranting that people who didn't do spreadsheets the way he recommended should go die. something flipped the deep deep instinct of I'M IN DANGER I'M IN DANGER APPEASE APPEASE APPEASE. not quite over it.
