@Gerrytheicecube @robbystarbuck That logic is fine when talking about something this meaningless, but that logic is often used to allow harm to continue because of stupid fears over a safer alternative. Don't advocate for ignorance-based decision making if you actually care about anyone, including yourself.

@TangentFoxy @robbystarbuck It doesn't matter if you think it's safe for other people. Those people are the only ones who get to determine that. Not you, and not any government or corporate entity.

Dubai airport looks like an apocalyptic movie. Videos of the flooding are insane. I’ve seen some blaming climate change when the cause is actually from the use of weather modification. Cloud seeding where chemicals are sprayed in clouds to create rain caused this. We recently banned this practice in my home state of Tennessee. Anytime you modify the weather you open yourself up to unintended consequences.

I mean seriously, what the hell were they thinking with this design?

@Toyota What is the point of an MPG gauge whose maximum value is lower than your average MPG?

I keep trying to download my Twitter data and block the fuckhead, but it keeps redirecting to a random website instead. -.-

@myrrlyn This alone made it worth it to accidentally open this website today. Thank you for redeeming my mistake.

@tudsworthington @HatokTalk But bypassing those systems for backups is explicitly legal.

that nintendo copyright thing is so funny what do you mean "Nintendo games are simply above the law"

I don't have an account on a website called X, yet somehow it shows me logged into an account. Weird.

@HilaryWollis @bettersafetynet It's part of why we're targeted. A community of people who insist that everyone be treated fairly that ALSO contains very technically competent people unafraid of being hurt for revealing truths is an attractive target for people who don't want those truths to be public.

@bettersafetynet Weren’t a group of furry hackers recently responsible for accessing some very important information about the Heritage Foundation? Like the extent of foreign influence at play behind #Project2025 ? I think people should live their true lives AND know they are safe.

I'm floored that I'm feeling compelled to write this. Maybe some folks don't realize this? Furries. The community everyone loves to rag on... they're a major player at tech orgs. Let me start by saying I'm not a furry, and personally I don't get the scene... but I respect 'em 1

The irony of a vexatious complainer not understanding what that term means, while vexatiously complaining about it is just so tasty.

@leng_cath @bettersafetynet How can you link to an article talking about how accepting the furry community is, and how it allows people to cope with negative aspects of society, and then turn around and say "this is harmful"? Did you actually read what you linked to?

@bettersafetynet Here is a link about furries and the TQ+ sgn.org/329501 Encouraging children to think they can become anything at all, unbounded by reality, which is what queer theory does, can lead to lifelong harm to those kids who (think they) want to be the opposite sex.

@LichRowling @bettersafetynet *noms your packets*

I particularly enjoy when platforms I use remove features I like.

@MikeCapone15 @althafrafianto I think you're just restating what we all understand to some degree or another. What's the point to you? Give up? Make it worse? Help each other? Be selfish and hope you survive? Like, I get it, things suck and bad things are coming, but there's more to living than just doom.

@TangentFoxy @althafrafianto Societal collapse is imminent. Every civilization since time began has ended up on the trash heap of history. Civilization failure is a built-in mechanism of civilization success. The Egyptian, Greek, Aztec, and Mayan civilizations all kicked ass until they didn't.!

@_celia_bedelia_ I can't fathom why you would shoot anyone in this situation. The bear doesn't want anything to do with you. The man may or may not mean a damn thing in this situation.

Men are not okay, y’all.

@althafrafianto Are you saying you want societal collapse? That you don't believe people in a wealthier position are capable of helping poorer people? Or something else?

@TangentFoxy @d_feldman @quantadan no thanks

@LordRavenscraft I'm currently watching the videos you produced on Animorphs and I just wanted to say thank you for making them.
