What if Jinu is Rumi's dad?

Me using a VPN is a literal (actually useful) piece of safety advice given to me by the police for people dealing with stalkers.

Using a VPN keeps victims safe, so I’m gonna keep using my VPN, thanks, and don’t you DARE try to stop me.

This is your chance to tell Nintendo what you think about Game Key Cards. Do you love 'em? Hate 'em?

Take their survery, they are listening: nintendoofamerica.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Both of these images cost money to produce and despite this person being asked to do the bare minimum to source their files, this is still happening without a second thought.

If you refuse to watch the opening acts at gigs you don't get to complain there's no good new bands

Read this and learn more than you ever wanted to know about the significance of horse testicles in art throughout history.

Is Bluesky search broken for anyone else? If I search for a tag or a word it shows a list of posts for about 1/2 a second, then switches to a list of people and won't let me go back

If you've ever considered encouraging people to keep their microphones on while eating in a lunchtime meeting (or any situation) "to give those lovely ASMR noises" you NEED to know about misophonia. You may as well ask someone to scrape nails down a chalkboard.

everything's a UFO if you're bad enough at identifying it, everything is fast food if you bring enough fire, everything is filler if you aren't paying attention, everything's a horror story

Please stop using Fandom.

It's a lot of work for us to gather high-quality images but admins on Fandom have been taking our content without any attribution, and we've been ignored when we reached out to them about this.

Fandom also prohibits linking to us so we cannot be properly sourced anyway.

If you're growing native plants please make sure they're from where you live and not simply sold online as "native" or "wild flower seeds" or whatever.

Also if you're going to berate someone for planting non-native or invasive garden plants you really, REALLY need to check where they live first.

"why doesn't Bluesky have its own Grok" well because the human users already bring up completely unrelated human rights atrocities in your mentions for no reason

Never assume someone can't hear you because they're wearing headphones, or that they won't understand the language you're using, or that they can't hear because they're using sign language.

Don't talk about people in their hearing if you're not prepared for them to hear.

Alt text us very important for people using screen readers (and you never know when someone using one will find your post), but also good for adding context to images to give people an idea of exactly what they're looking at and why it's included

"Please do not build the torment nexus." -> "We built the torment nexus but the torment nexus has produced a piece of work in your style that says everything's chill now!"

I wish Bluesky had the option to tell the algorithm you're not interested in certain topics. I don't want to mute the word coffee entirely, but I also don't need endless updates on strangers caffeine addiction

Other than muting words or users is there a way to tell Bluesky you're not interested in specific topics?

It keeps showing me random people's posts about beer but there's no common word or phrase in all of them to mute.

In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts.

The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails.

The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.

It feels like I should say something, but I have nothing to say, classic social media. I'm mainly here for updates from others, but if you've found me here say hi!
