Trust is the whole game. It’s a tremendous act of trust to hand over control to another person. You deserve better than someone who doesn’t understand that responsibility and treat it as the precious gift it is. A dom who doesn’t care if you still want what they’re doing to you is just a rapist.

ATTENTION!!!: NEVER TRUST A DOM THAT MAKES YOU FEEL BAD FOR USING SAFE WORDS, HAVING LIMITS OR SAYING NO!!!

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there

So what can you do? 🤔 1. Continue pressuring your lawmakers, let them know how unpopular and dangerous censorship and surveillance bills are. 2. Spread the word! Many people have no idea the internet they know and love is under threat. 🗣️ 👉https://www.badinternetbills.com/#online-id-checks

I love how comedians have gone from “it’s a big club and you ain’t in it” to “I’ve had the club members on my podcast and they’re actually really nice so everyone should just do what they say” fucking pathetic

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️ But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold. So take care of yourself. Your soul is beautiful.

It's now coming up on a month since I filed my issue with @blueprincegame.bsky.social and there's been no response on the ticket, even after I escalated. Is there anyone working in your support department, @rawfury.bsky.social ?

I've been waiting for a response on my support request to @blueprincegame.bsky.social . What's going on, and is there anything I can do to hurry it along?

Today I tried to run @blueprincegame.bsky.social on a second machine, and it created a new, blank save file which steam cloud then happily synced back to the original machine. I lost over 100 hours of play. Reminder to back up your steam saves. I'm kind of crushed.

See they get it

"Wargaming as a hobby is incredibly cloistered, a series of rituals performed by robed adherents, and the systems broadly share so many concepts that you often draft on one to learn another.

BIG AGREE. Right on red makes sense if there's no one you could be cutting off by turning red --- ie in a world with no pedestrians or cyclists. It's a dangerous law that drives more people into cars because anything else is unsafe.

My incredible colleague @asted.bsky.social has one hell of a report on the recent goings-on at Pixar, particularly behind Inside Out 2 and some of the studio's other bizarre choices. Please give this a read: www.ign.com/articles/ins...
