I was thinking I was being too antisocial cause I haven't checked any groups I'm in for a few days. Then in one of those groups, I saw people praising violence and the opportunity to murder someone if they caused $500 in damage.

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 1h agoThe U.S. has stationed weapons in Earth’s orbit, an air force official said on Monday. It’s the first such public acknowledgment by a Pentagon official after years of preparations to counter potential deployments by Russia and China.
It's fine to gate off arbitrary public areas and say actually you can't go here anymore.
TangentFoxOfficial@tangentfoxofficial.bsky.social · 2d agoIt's fine to be increasingly limited in what you're practically allowed to do.
Trans rights are one of those easy tee up "it is both moral and, also, your precious tactical thinking and triangulation is actually just you being an idiot who ignores the overwhelming data that the average American loves* trans rights" *is ambivalent to trans people but finds transphobes annoying
jenny tightpants@jtp.bsky.social · 15h agothis shit does not work on me. go try it on the centrists who call trans women "biological men."
Watching an informational video about a topic but there's no information in the video because everyone has to stay silent about it, because somehow an extremely open-ended patent was allowed to be filed that might make the design illegal, even though it's a unique design no one is using.
Fascism imposes walls which shrink the world, and people view their contentment as their relationship to those walls. Imagine a fish tank, and a fish which feels proud when it is big. If the tank is smaller, the fish falsely believes it is bigger, and thus more proud when it is less free.
You're watching a sand bubbler crab hard at work. And bubbler crabs have one job: make balls. Lots of balls. With your mouth parts. They're filter-feeders/detrivores, combing through damp sand for microscopic food & the balls let them organize the "cleaned" sand so they don't nom it twice.
I used all of my spoons today just trying to set up a dev environment because - LuaRocks doesn't work right - Homebrew keeps removing things people need and use just because they're old - OpenResty's environment is secure (ironically held me back because of the other stupid problems)
Contrary to what you might think, it is okay to say "Oh, my bad, I misunderstood you" instead of the more popular "repeatedly double down until everyone is staring at you like you just proudly shit yourself in a Chili's" option.
I can’t wait to see their reaction when the Big Beautiful Notification hits
kate bush’s husband@airbagged.bsky.social · 2d agoMy friend is a teacher and they told me that their students were JOKING the whole day. They do not give a fuck dude lol
It’s so exhausting watching everyone be so desperate to keep these jobs they were literally screaming about wishing they didn’t need to have in 2021 on r/antiwork Babes! There is so much more to dream of than labor in order to live! We can have it all!!!
hailey@hailey.at · 4d agoincreasingly it seems like the only real answer to this is to find ways of ensuring guaranteed income for people. imo we are reaching a point where people who want to build or do things will be able to - unrestrained by skills - and there will be a lot of people who will no longer need to work
It's fine to be increasingly limited in what you're practically allowed to do.

Still furious at Paypal for - telling me I'd get $25 in credit if I made a purchase - not giving it to me when I bought games on Steam - stealing money from Steam on my behalf when I complained, and thus I lost the game, and money that Steam got to keep above the $25 amount
Lol a genocide defender tried to say I would die instantly if the USA military was dissolved. You moron, you can't exploit people by killing them.
I think it's very funny that I finally feel like I understand what ASMR is through, of all things, the book @foldablehuman.bsky.social wrote to show what happens when you try to write a book in 25 days. www.patreon.com/foldablehuma...

I really want to listen to Rough Sleeper right now, but I can't. See, I use this song when I really need to sleep but am really struggling. It helps me relax and fall asleep. Because I do that, I either ruin that effect by listening when I'm not trying to sleep, or I make myself too sleepy.

TangentFoxOfficial@tangentfoxofficial.bsky.social · 6d agoAnyhow, I accidentally started writing a book. Don't ask. I assume I'll fail and give up quickly. If I don't, it'll hopefully be funny.
I have this fear that I won't be here in 2030.
Wikipedia was only considered to be not legit because it made it harder for schools and universities to sell their books.
P(aul) Frazee@pfrazee.com · 6d agoFeel like we've all memory-holed the era where blogging, podcasts, and wikipedia were considered the equivalent of slop
