what if we all agreed to log off? we could do it. seriously. you know we could do it. we would be free. we could all go together

Why do people always out themselves by prefixing their statement with "AI says..."? If they're so confident the AI is right, then just say the thing. If they're hedging themselves against the AI being wrong, then don't say the thing. Either stand by your words, or shut up.

I've given up on #MtG with Hasbro's shenanigans, but I'll admit I would still pay way too much if they ever made a #Noita deck.

Posting about things that interest me and bring me joy: Silence "Rent is bad": 5684 Likes, 87 Reposts, 5 Congressional Medals

My partner: "So how was your day at work?" Me: "Well, it's a long story, but to keep it short..." (Proceeds to rant at length about every excruciating detail, progressively getting more vocal and animated as I recount my saga du jour.)

I have decided that I will kill the Master of Masters. Wish me luck -- I'm terrible at #Noita, so I'll definitely need it!

The horse is DROWNING in water and it still won't drink. We are literally pressure washing this horse!

I am a mirror reflecting Nothing.

Left the house for the first time in too long and brought this thing home for next to nothing. The 768GB RAM is a bit of an upgrade from the 8GB in my current home "server".

It's so nice that we've invented a machine to do social media for us. Now we're free to focus on what makes us human - connecting with people, gardening, baking, reading, writing, drawing, thinking, playing, laughing... All the important things the modern Internet quietly distracted us from.

Just saw a lady with long hair get caught in a strong updraft. Might be the funniest thing I've ever seen???

Pteradactyl? I 'ardly know 'eradactyl!

Oh shit, I forgot to pipe my life to an output stream.

Just found this Achewood song by Freezepop, and everything about it makes me nostalgic for the old internet. youtu.be/oTlzUpmp8sY #achewood #freezepop

Perpetual denouement.

I recently got back from a trip to Japan. In particular, we went to: Akihabara, Fujikawaguchiko, Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Shinjuku. #japan #japantravel

I am living under a rock, and I don't know how to lift it.

Do Do Do Do you want me to Spend some time sitting next to you Do Do Do Do you wonder why Is there more than meats

We got onto an air-conditioned elevator in Japan, and when we sighed in relief, a lady laughed and said "Canadian? Me too."

Dear BlueSky Artists, I'm sorry if you get spammed with notifications when I find your profile and spend an hour scrolling through and liking every single one of your posts. I literally cannot help myself, the art is just too good.

Went to a ToastMasters meeting last night. It was surprisingly fun, I'm definitely planning on joining.

Yeesh... so this is life, huh?

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

My personality can be accurately summed up as a writhing ball of anxiety trying to pass itself off as chill vibes.

Poor Leno... Where you'll be I'll go... Where you'll be I'll know... Where you'll be I'll find you...

Throwback to Mine Bombers, an incredibly fun 4-player DOS game. If you haven't played this, I highly recommend getting some friends around a keyboard and giving it a shot! It's almost like an "open-world" Bomberman.

At least cryptocurrencies were opt-in. These days every online product needs to burn untold amounts of fuel per click for some mandatory LLM "feature" I've never used nor asked for.

Reading the T&C for JR East, and apparently they aren't liable for damages if they accidentally send you an email that's too big.

Its frustrating trying to live a human life while being attacked on literally all sides. I just want to chill and create things, but I need to constantly be fighting back against people that want to destroy everything I love just so they can watch an imaginary line move slightly upward.

Just so we're clear here: the best music video ever made is My Way by SIAMÉS, and it's not even close. youtu.be/Z9ZlS7i2Xvc

MtG Commander decks now cost about 2x what they did when I started boycotting them - mainly due to the rampant and transparent price gouging. This wasn't even that long ago - like a year or two? This must be what "doubling profits" looks like at Hasbro, I guess. Gotta respect the simplicity.

My copy of the Obojima source book just arrived! The production quality on this book is insane, the art is incredible, and it's surprisingly thick, too. You can really feel the passion that went into creating this book. I absolutely can't wait to dive in! #obojima #ttrpg #dnd #dnd5e

Started today off with early morning skygazing. Too much humidity to get a good image of Saturn, but our moon was out in full force! 🌖 #moon #astrophotography #seestar #s50

Often I forget what I needed to do, but I remember where I needed to be to do it. When I get there I usually remember, but until then it feels like I've asked someone to do me a favour and that "someone" just so happens to also be me.

Just posted my BlueSky account on my old Facebook page. Could this be the stupidest thing I've ever done? Yeah probably, yeah.

Wild to me that people are talking about how to turn off the new automated doxing setting in Instagram, instead of simply uninstalling the app and never trusting Meta again. Maybe the frog really is that boiled at this point, I guess.

Is there a way to mute all accounts with an actual photo of the user in their pfp?

It's unfortunate that we live in a post-ethical society.

Ffs how many times do we need to shoot down this blatantly authoritarian powergrab. Way to take advantage of an already tumultuous time and kick us while we're down. www.change.org/p/stop-bill-...

Who on God's green earth wants a whole man after midnight. It's BED time.

I have a lot of thoughts about the way society* abstracts away our humanity, creating an etherial model of the world that can be bought and sold, and then imposing that model as more real than our visceral human needs and connections. (* Mainly -but not only - capitalism.)

Today is my birthday (turning 29), which is the only time all year that I ask for a repost 🌿 I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮

Every time people freak out about an online platform doing something blatantly anti-user, I'm over here like "You know you can just leave, right?" Maybe it's showing my age to say this, but at this point I've gotten used to websites being temporary things.

Something is preventing me from getting more into #VRChat, and I can't quite tell whether it's my social anxiety or everyone else's social anxiety. 🤔

A lot of people seem to hate when people pop into their comments from the Discovery feed, but that's pretty much all I do on this app. I try to gather a bit of context before commenting, but as someone without any "community" it's really my only way to interact here.

"Tis true without lying, certain and most true." Guys, I think this tablet might be telling the truth... let's hear it out.

The "feedback" form for #DuckDuckGo had a very restrictive character limit, so I guess I'll just post my feedback publicly instead. 🧵

Every time I reply to a post, my account gets a few new followers. I can't help but wonder how those people must see me based solely on that one reply.

There's a LEGO ideas campaign for the Hearthian Lander! If it can get 10,000 votes of support, then LEGO will consider making it a real set. This one's even got a ship interior! beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea... (Wait, have we done this before? 🤔)

Everyone on this platform is so good at art! I want to learn to draw, but I've never really even doodled before. It's like I want to have a voice, but I don't actually feel I have anything to say.
