Kind of, and it was a good way to keep trolls and spammers out of sensitive communities, but unfortunately with bots and astroturfing existing nowadays, karma incentives terrible behavior.

I usually feel this way, but I was at a pizza place a, while back, and the cheese on the cheese pizza just looked so much gooier than on the others… I still wonder how much better my life would be if I’d had the gooey cheese instead of the goo-less supreme…

I was a beta reader once and the guy rejected all my alterations where I fixed the quote punctuation. So maybe?

I’m with your girlfriend. I don’t find pineapple on pizza disgusting, but for some reason it just doesn’t gel for me. Same with sausage and jam on a biscuit… One or the other, please!

But anchovies on pizza… yessssss. Get them salty, grimy fuckers in there.

Never found the right balance. 🤷 I said “fuck it” anyway, because there’s a few reasons being less feminine is more comfortable for me. I like lifting weights but hate a sweaty scalp, so bye bye hair. I like the fit of men’s shirts more. And I realized that there’s a lot clothes and accessories that I find pretty to look at, but I don’t really get anything from wearing them.

It sucks because customers and family both make rude comments, but at least my clothes are comfy.

Too feminine: weak, controllable

Not feminine at all: ugly troll, clearly failed at being feminine and this is just cope

Never saw them in person, but man, I wanted a pair as a kid. I wanted to roll around at the speed of sound.

I think there is such a thing as lazy, but it’s when you push your responsibilities off onto another person solely because you can get away with it. The ex who leaves the dishes dirty and tells you, “I don’t know, they just come better when you wash them”, for instance.

I’m assuming CGI or something. They don’t immediately read as AI to me. I don’t see any torn/fuzzy edges, and while the shape of the bookshelf is obviously whimsical, it’s not the sort of nonsense perspective I associate with AI.

I could be wrong of course, I just don’t see the usual tells.

If people are actually protesting, of course I don’t consider it a joke. I just thought the one in February 5th was a joke, everyone was guilt tripping me for asking questions but refused to answer them.

Three different start times, two different addresses, and everyone pretending there’s a signal chat just feels like a trick.

50501 didn’t turn out to be a prank? My state’s “organizer” was a deleted reddit post with no other contact info, the posters named three different start times, and only two people claimed to have links to the signal chat and stopped replying when I asked for it, even though they offered.

I visited the subreddit three days before it was supposed to take place, and they were still figuring out basics. One of the top posts was discussing the dress code (consensus seemed to be wearing blue + American flag scarfs), and the one person pointing out how impractical and dangerous that was for a protest was getting downvoted.

Thats the reason I’m not protesting, btw. One protest in my area and it seemed like either a joke, a honeypot, or like a teenager came up with it.

Two very different answers here 😛

There are a lot of people who would rush me to the hospital but also voted to take away my rights and worse. I don’t know if I believe in good people these days.

God, infowars. I swear my brother bought coffee or something from them and it dragged my mother down the far right rabbit hole with him. I wish I could go back in time and do something more than cringe when he showed me the packaging that said “wakey wakey America”.

I have the aesthetics of someone with their shit together!

Nope. When I make plans with people, it usually ends with one of us giving a 👍. I thought it meant “we’re all on the same page”.

Anything tied to a movie or TV show is probably obvious, but I immediately thought of The Power of Love from the old Sailor Moon dub. I remember swinging on the swingset singing it with my bestie while our moms held a yard sale.

The last song from Garfield On the Town also immediately puts me in mind of being a little kid sitting on my brother’s carpet, since he had a VCR.

Morning:

• 5am: wake up in my gym clothes
• 5:05: drink my pre-workout and scroll for a minute
• 5:15: sit down to put shoes on. Cat gets on my lap

This is where morning turns into a choose your own adventure game!

• 5:15: sat cat on floor and go to the gym
• 5:30: weight training
• 7:00: shower
• 7:20: breakfast
• 8:00: work

OR

• 5:15: give kitty five minutes, she deserves it
• 5:30: realize I’m running late but now I’m in the middle of some stupid task on my phone
• 6:00: I’m not going to get a full workout in anyway, I’m just going to eat breakfast now and go to the gym after work
• 7:30: time to go to work! oh no I’m still in my gym clothes
• 7:40: time to go to work!
• 7:50: oh god I forgot about the school zone
• 8:05: I want to die and take everyone on this highway with me

Night

• what the fuck
• uhhhhh
• somehow falls asleep two hours later than planned in a spot other than my bed

But if you tell people “I wake up at 5am to work out”, they automatically assume you have your shit together. 😎

I like to follow a couple reporters directly as opposed to subscribing to the local paper and wading through the fluff pieces, so that means using Bluesky.

Back when I was still an artist for my super niche internet garbage, that meant using Tumblr, then after the Tumblr purge, Twitter. Then after Musk, cohost, then after cohost… I mean, I was done with art but I’d probably be on Bluesky for that too.

Not sincerely, nah
