Hint: https://mastodon.social/

You have to pick a microblogging service. What’s the difference? Truth Social is just a mastodon instance, but it’s commercial and it has marketing. That’s all that’s “missing” from any other fediverse instance, and thank fucking god.

It’s the raison d’etre. Saying “don’t federate” is like saying “don’t put images and rich hyperlinking on the WWW, just make it like Gopher.” If you don’t want to federate, don’t. But saying that it was a bad move for ActivityPub is just nonsensical.

Jesus you people are so insecure. And I have relevant childhood trauma. Work on your shit.

If you view spending time with your son in the Maldives as a chore getting foisted off on you, then yes, you certainly should not go. Or really even have a lot of contact with any of them.

This isn’t FOR the wife. It’s FOR the child. The wife doesn’t get anything out of this. It isn’t rewarding her. Do you think SHE wants the ex there?! This is just broken thinking. It’s not anyone’s job to teach the wife “the right lessons” or make sure she doesn’t get rewarded for the wrong thing. I think you are covering for more primitive motivations.

Good advice. I have cultivated a positive relationship with my metamour and it makes a big difference.

I’m opposed to human reproduction. But maybe I adopted. I’d go if I thought I could cope emotionally. I feel like a lot of things would be better after such an experience, it could be genuinely positive for you and your child. Get two rooms, have the kid stay with you. But maybe just for a week. Three weeks, seriously? Get unnecessary room service every day.

People are less tech literate and considerably stupider than they were 20 year ago. It’s shocking.

When I go running on country roads in spandex and sandals, the hicks in the trucks go by real friggin’ slowly. Like, aggressively slowly.

Not everything. But you might have pathological difficulty grasping irony.

No one has ever used GDP as a metric for “societal health.”

I’m currently dealing with a regression on my laptop introduced a few months ago in a recent kernel update, where closing the lid kills the keyboard until you reboot.

Yes, and all other people who put capitalism ahead of humanism.

Intentionally causing a person to fear harm is assault. Greentext is committing assault. It might not be possible to convict for it, but it’s still assault.

Today we are all biracial.

The politics in these videos is very interesting and regional shit I don’t really understand comes up a lot. There’s a lot of “things are better now, the cops are no longer corrupt”, there’s a bunch of messaging I can see but not really contextualize.

Are you not aware that the more meat you eat, the younger you die and the more major diseases you experience? Meat is toxic, people are not better off for having any amount of it in their diet. Plants are made of protein. Calorie for calorie, plants are a superior protein source. There is not one major health consequence in the world today caused by too much not enough protein. The leading cause of death of all humans on earth COMPLETELY GOES AWAY without meat consumption, and so do several others. The idea that a lack of vitamin D and protein is a major health issue for humans who eat mostly plants is ridiculous, and any consequences can be easily mitigated. There is nothing you can take that will prevent meat from killing you.
