it’s absolutely fantastic, my friends and i joined a steam family and they finally have 0 excuses to not play the games i’ve been recommending them for year (and neither do i)

Well i’m very happy for you and for them, but my 76 year old Polish grandmother - who got her first mobile phone at the age of 60ish, probably doesn’t even know what image quality is, definitely doesn’t know the difference between android and iOS, and has recently called me panicked to ask why all her photos were on Facebook, they weren’t, she was looking at her gallery preview through the Facebook app - is not going to be very enthusiastic about learning to use an app only her grandson uses.

so I’ll just stick to messenger

if someone is like, half of the described vampire i don’t mind. Honestly it feels strange to have our ancient way of finding things out (asking your friends if they know) be somehow seen as wrong nowadays. I want to learn from other human being, not disembodied pieces of information oftentimes tied to ads for driver updating software

call me a normie but I do like having contact with my family. And though I’d love to move somewhere where my privacy is respected - there’s no point in using a messaging app if you’re the only one there

and no I can’t convince my 76 year old grandma to move to signal, she barely wrapped her head around Facebook

Every work of artistic expression, from painting, through photography, all the way to fantasy improv, is a little window into who you are

the imaginary you is being put in various situations, mysteries, plots, and they have to figure out their way to victory! (and at the same time reveal exactly how you appraoch problem solving, how your logic works, and what assumptions you make)

it’s like the random shapes test but you don’t even realise you’re doing it

though it could get significantly harder to see through the layers of fantasy if you’re dealing with experienced roleplayers playing their 50th character

with that camera lense it better be capybaras that are about to fuck or the camerman’s getting mauled

“Molly” is a common nickname of the drug Ecstasy (MDMA)

“time for molly” kind of implies you’re off to get high

I’ll take 8pm vacuuming over 8am vacuuming any day

istg i have to write those words into every reply i give. Do people even read the words i write? Can they read? Should i give up?

😔 whack

fuck it’s so hard to resist the urge to mimic (though probably poorly) the writing style of the book i’m currently reading shakes fist at neuroplasticity

can i see a flowchart of that please? it’s 4am

but forgot a button hole, we can still fight them, though the battles are getting harder

is occasionally going feral and unhinged still something that proves i’m a human on the Internet? or has my job been taken again? :(

Well yea it’s the same thing to me. The built in browser adblocker is great but never fast enough to block google’s (and especially youtube’s) bullshit attempts at trying to shove ads into our faces

nah i’d not trust that, if chromium itself gets invaded by forced ads no chromium based browser is safe

huh interesting! is it chromium based too though? I think at this point i’d mostly want to make a switch off chromium browsers with all the rumoured forced ads nonsense

nah it’s not rationalising, i really just don’t care. I mentioned it there because the second i mention Opera anywhere the first reply is always “but did you know it’s Chinese spyware?”

I like Opera’s features like workspaces, tab islands, built in adblock, built in vpn etc. it really suits my scatter brain self

thank you ❤️
