Back in my day we used to chug gallons of milk
There was a fabled time when the internet was so new that it screamed at you, begging you not to force it into life each time you summoned it.
Does anyone *actually* dilute their cold brew when they make it?
We’re all just maybe using a tad more milk than normal and then downing a mug of the stuff, right?

You are at present involved in at least three separate fights online about the definitions of "putsch" vs "coup." Your Steam profile is on private because a coworker once casually mentioned how much time you'd spent on EU IV, and that was easily 1000 hours ago.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

I CANNOT STRESS THIS FOR NEW ARTISTS ON THE PLATFORM ENOUGH:
If you post work without Alt Text, a lot of folks *will not repost/comment on your work*. Accessibility matters a lot to many of us and we'll simply skip sharing if that's what it takes to encourage it. There are tools to help.

A family member in Portland Oregon died unexpectedly and left behind a 2 year old husky who is currently on a 5 day hold in a shelter while I try to figure out a way to get her to me here in Portland Maine so that I can adopt her...without it costing All the Money.

Does @yardcrow.com help you avoid troubled people like a traditional labeler. Well, No
But if the job is to build community and help make people cherish individuality of every human being... again, No.
If you want to one day be able to label yourself as a shitposting fucker, well, there you go.

@yardcrow.com is the most amazing and delightful labeler.
Does it do what labelers seem like they’re meant for! No, it is strictly a vehicle oh joy.
That said, if want to see a “what if a labeler was there to affirm happiness and delight” then I cannot praise it enough.
10/10, highest recommend

signal is the birth control pill of phone encryption, it’s 99.99% effective when used correctly. the only way to be 100% assured of fail-proof safety is to never use Phone, but abstinence-only education doesn’t work, so
i feel like every time i see someone calling signal insecure it only takes a few questions for them to eventually arrive at one of two conclusuons:
- encryption isn't real you idiot
- signal is insecure because someone can drug you and beat you with a $5 wrench until you unlock your phone
