I don’t think it’s fair that all my grand/dad-coded friends are younger than me??

It's that magical time of year where all the Adobe apps play a little trick when you try to launch them because they've been deleted and replaced with an updated version that the system reads as an entirely new app.

I've been working on this MFF deck for like a month and it's both gratifying and a little frustrating to see people touching on points that I'm writing about because they're right but also I promise I wrote this before they said it

I agree with the sentiment but I don't think it's limited to a single generation; it's a skill you learn when you have interests that don't overlap with pop culture at large so you have to be able to shroud them in plausible deniability lest your "friends" use them against you
There's a whole generation that learned irony before sincerity and now they're trapped. Can't be earnest without a layer of self-deprecation. Can't be enthusiastic without signaling awareness of how cringe enthusiasm is.
The price of never being vulnerable is never connecting.

It's good to be aware of these additional moderation settings and make sure you update yours accordingly, because they're definitely an overreach and the fact that they're obfuscated as much as they are tells me Bsky knows too.
But also, if this is all you're posting, get better material.

This means if you are in the habit of saying things like "fuck Trump" or "I hope Cheney burns in hell", probably a good amount of your feed isn't seeing those posts because, unbeknownst to them, Bsky has shielded grown adults from "rude" "threats" like this.

Being part of the fandom does not exempt you from needing to follow good business practices
I had to do a chargeback on a furry “clothing company” and never once got emails replied to (via two of their accounts), OR social media pings responded to before I did it, super depressing.

It’s nice that we’ve reached the point where we can’t enjoy any random animal video because it might be AI

It's not that I think your character has to be wearing pants, but their outfit should still be cohesive if pants are not a part of it

Certainly none of this is due to Target's own dipshit business decisions that alienated their main demographic
Target just sent up a giant red flag about the U.S. consumer. A 30% stock plunge, collapsing store traffic, and margin pressure all point to the same thing: Affluent shoppers are rattled and recession fears are rising qz.com/tgt-wmt-earn...

Yesterday my dentist was lamenting the havoc Halloween candy has wrought on patients' crowns when trying to caution me about it but the joke's on her because I don't have any crowns
