A year ago the CEO of X confidently stated that by today over half of the world would be using X's financial services.
Raise you hands. C'mon be loud and proud if you're doing that!

My first steam game ISLANDS & TRAINS has just released!! What began as a tiny hobby project has grown into something that I'm so thankful, excited and proud of.
It would mean the world if you could give this a repost and try the game on Steam 💌🌻 s.team/a/1957760

All of these AI companies standing up and declaring they are ready to buy Chrome if the DOJ breaks up Google, it's confusing to me. Can't they just vibe code their own competing browsers over lunch?

Been seeing some rude comments lately, so:
- If I am praising a game, don't reply "If only it was good". Instead, try asking what I loved about it.
- When I share an indie, do not say "nobody's heard of it". Look them up, you might find your next favorite game.
It's easy, I promise!

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.
