Yup. I don’t understand why people are talking like Harris isn’t also pro-genocide. Obviously more Americans are going to die under Trump and that’s a tragedy too, but why are people pretending the election was about Palestine?

Queer people who live in the bible belt still say “y’all”. It literally means “you all”.

Personal answer: I draw art for a stupidly niche internet community. I’m a less popular artist so I go wear the community already is. I found one other artist on Mastodon and several on Bluesky.

I maintain that what people mistake for porn addiction is just depression or possibly ADHD. Constant masturbation is a series of easy dopamine hits. If you quit cold turkey without making any other changes, you’ll probably just replace it with social media or gacha games.

Then you have the opposite end of the spectrum, people who don’t want you to talk about the legal risks because they think you’re trying to discourage them.

Fight the power, but know what you’re doing. That’s how you minimize risk.

Yooooo thank you for including audiobooks!

Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Sometimes my parents let me stay up to watch it, but they stopped after some dumb gag scared me and I started crying.

Is this bot generated? It has all the right words for a “wise” quote but makes no sense. Is the wise man also rich? Why are we specifically contrasting “the wise man” with “the poor man”?

Remember when people tried to make it an offensive gesture that he was just sitting there

For people with physical jobs, try a little weight lifting. You don’t have to be the best or lift super heavy weights for it to be useful.

It’s one thing to have signs up at work reminding you to lift with your knees. It’s another thing to really learn, through constant practice, how to move your body safely, and activate muscles you never thought about. You won’t need signs to remind you, and you’re less likely to lift something stupidly and fuck up your joints even if you’re in a hurry, because correct technique will be burnt into your brain.

I know it’s not exactly obscure knowledge but a lot of people don’t bother unless they’ve got some kind of body goal. I’ve found it to be an educational experience even if I’m not a bodybuilder.

This is nice as I have a ton of games I haven’t opened since my family accidentally broke my Switch. Never bothered to repair or replace it since I keep worrying that as soon as I do, the next console will be announced.

Half my customers want me dead and the other half don’t because they don’t notice I’m queer 🙃 I enable them to buy video games that fund transphobic campaigns, toys that fund Israel, and drinks that fund death squads. I could quit my job and die, but the machine would keep turning, I’d just be its latest casualty.

I’ve had mostly terrible interactions with doctors, including them trying me on random SSRIs for nearly a decade before they ran out of options and agreed to try ADHD meds.

I did have one REALLY good interaction with a guy at a walk-in clinic though. Felt my knee while I bent it and told me imaging wasn’t necessary because he could feel the tear. Multiple years of false answers and physical therapy that went nowhere and then I got lucky enough to have a doctor who had the same kind of tear and knew what he was doing.

Been playing Sonic X Shadow Generations after falling off Sonic in 2006 and every time a song from SA2 plays, every part of my brain lights up

I’m convinced it’s because we want to be loved, but most people will settle for someone just feeling positive about some superficial aspect of them.

Yup! We call it “the heads” in my area. I’ve also heard people joke about blindness from lead exposure from shitty DIY distilleries but I don’t know if that really happens nowadays.

Shen is constantly playing gay (and trans) chicken with himself. If he’s actually cishet he might be the second man in the world who had to come out as such.

Yeah, but depending on the state, they’re not widely adopted. A lot of people aren’t going to spend the extra money for reusable bags unless they’re forced to.

My local grocery store doesn’t have a self checkout and I swear they must assume they heard me wrong when I ask them not to bag things. :(

Is this a thing? I’d feel like I was punishing a kid for having broke parents.
