People still don’t know what Mastodon is. I mentioned it recently and someone asked, “isn’t it mostly white supremacists?”

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

Oh shit, I hope you’re doing okay these days!

Mine are occasionally sore, but most of the time they’re just tender to the touch. They are pretty hard, too 😬

Thanks. I’m just getting discouraged because conversations fizzle out eventually, or things go well at first but then they stop texting back. It takes so long to get to know people and it feels like it usually goes nowhere even when I think they’re really cool.

Rough. Can’t find any jobs in my town besides factories and trucking, so I guess I’m probably gonna go work in a factory.

Lymph nodes been swollen for three days and I can’t get to a doctor for nine more days, so that’s frustrating.

I feel lonely and detached all the time. I miss when my friends and I were close. I’ve tried meeting new people but it’s not the same.

If I’m not too tired after work tomorrow I’m planning a solo trip, just for the evening. There’s a park an hour away where I’ve heard you can see the stars, so maybe I’ll hit the local shops and grab an ice cream or something and wait til sundown. Maybe that’ll cheer me up.

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’m a lesbian, I’m not changing my label to pan because I’ve dated trans women. Most people who feel attraction feel it before even learning what genitals the other person was born with.

Sure, but a cis man could also be dating a trans woman in any of these scenarios, and no one would say “heterosexuality” was what was preventing him from becoming a dad.

When people joke about lesbianism = no pregnancy, it’s because they’re assuming all lesbian relationships are between the same kinds of bodies having the same kind of sex.

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.

Meh. If you’re the sort of person who cares, you probably stopped using TikTok when they started sucking up to Trump. If you still use it, you probably support Amazon, too.

I dunno, I have a sibling I’ve never met because they were kidnapped before I was born. Teaching a kid to be safe doesn’t give them the ability to overpower adults.

I think when they get a little older you obviously need to stop tracking them, but I also don’t think it’s bad to want to know where your little kids are.

I do think it’s bad to use an app that has their full names and pictures, though. That’s common sense.

Bad. Tired. There are 2000 picks in the system at any given time and I’m not making a dent in the work and they’re guilting me for not working over.

I just feel really emotionally unstable and all my relationships stress me out.

I tried AI once but it just kept telling me to call the hotlines. Useless.
