Seriously, what the fuck is going on with my web-based social media at the moment?

Nord keeps detecting Twitter as a threat (I mean, it's not entirely wrong) - and images on BlueSky aren't loading.

I mean, it's possible it's somehow related to the social media ban. But I'm definitely not under 16.

I don't understand the need of some people to post images or statements that border slightly on the sexual only to delete those images or statements a few hours later.

Like, why bother posting them in the first place?

I know, I know... it's engagement baiting. But it's fucking annoying.

Do y'all remember how, when we were kids, we were convinced that a sneeze was 1/7 of an orgasm and if you sneezed enough in rapid succession you would cum?

Well I can attest that this is categorically not true. Sneezing that many times in rapid succession just leads to sore ribs and watery eyes.

Recent life updates:

1. My partner and I went on a 2 week cruise to NZ and are now art collectors.
2. We also decided to join a gym.
3. I decided to start learning Portugese.
4. I've also opted to grow a beard. For reasons.

I would appreciate the option to mute all of America for at least the next four years - if not indefinitely.

You can return to the Big Kids' table when you sort yourselves out. Perhaps the Red and Blue states should consider a divorce.

As the so-called 'leader of the free world' dismantles rights, decency, common sense, and the future, it’ll be interesting to see just how fast (and far) Australia’s leaders will bend over backwards to kiss his arse and lick his boots - Dutton especially, but Albanese won't be far behind.

About to head to bed and I can already tell you that I am 100% not in the mood for the next week.

5 minutes into Christmas lunch with Michael's family and I'm ready to go home.

Being the lone sober introvert amongst a bunch of loud, extroverted drunks is the opposite of fun.

Accidentally discovered that I can speak murloc...

Gotta hate waking up at 3AM and being like "that is the most incredible thought I've ever had, I should post about it the morning" (because you don't want to wake your partner at 3AM to post said incredible thought) —

Okay...

My mental health has been a little worse for wear this week - and I'm finally starting to realise that this is due to a tangle of thoughts taking up valuable real estate in my mind.

So this thread is basically going to be a brain dump just to, hopefully, clear up some space.

The most important question of the day - perhaps, of this entire age:

Why is things?
November 19, 2024 at 3:14 AM
Currently feeling lost, overwhelmed and like my might break at even the slightest thought.

So normal Sunday, I guess.

In other news, it turns out lopping off an entire branch of your family tree is surprisingly easy.

Honestly, waiting for people to get their act together and move here from the *other* site is painful.
November 15, 2024 at 9:33 PM
I decided that I would keep my account on the *other* site open for now (though set to private) so I hopefully don't miss any announcement of people I follow moving to here.

But honestly, trending stupidity like "Protect Australian Free Speech" is really making me rethink that position.
November 12, 2024 at 8:39 PM
So the question is, if I move back here - even semi-permanently - do I keep things as is with everything in one place? Or do I organise things into lists? Or are alts recommended? Sigh. The internet is hard.
November 7, 2024 at 8:50 AM
Not sure why people still insist on using #Threads.

Honestly, every so often I'll click into it (usually because of something on Insta and Facebook) and I swear it is like 48% bigotry, 48% "no one can solve this" posts and maybe 2% thirst traps.

Even X is better. And it has Elon at the helm.
December 24, 2023 at 3:03 AM
Wait... lists are a thing now?

Who wants to go to work for me so that I can start organising?
December 12, 2023 at 9:24 PM
Michael: "No gag reflex because... no gag."

Me: *PMSL* "That was a pretty good gag "
December 1, 2023 at 1:08 AM
Oh yay. Already being followed by what seem like Russian porn bots. I mean, they're probably (hopefully) just normal lovely ladies promoting their OF pages, but I'm just not here for that.

Saw a post on Threads where people were complaining about getting strikes on TikTok videos for using terms like "gay" and "bisexual".

Now, putting aside the Chinese government's blatant bi/homophobia, I only have one question:

Why the fuck are you even bothering with TikTok?
October 31, 2023 at 12:52 PM
I should probably consider actually posting here on occasion.
Like, once a month seems good. Right?
October 16, 2023 at 10:58 AM
Is there an easy way to find people I follow on the hellsite formerly known as Twitter without a) having to use Chrome (I've tried the Chrome extension - didn't like it), or b) putting my password into some random site because I have a brain and won't be doing that.
September 19, 2023 at 11:57 AM
Okay, why the hell did BlueSky just decide to toggle my "enable adult content" switch to off?
