-> file: fediverse/1253 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-883 Okay! I'm doing chores, setting up RTSP (almost done btw, pretty sure), playing a turn or two of Dominions 6 every once in a while, hanging out with my cat, eating nachos - not yet, gonna make them now >: ) and reading stuff on Mastodon. Not too much, I don't have to many people I follow, so it's not an un-ending torrent of content. Just like, 10 minutes here and there. I'm definitely down to watch BGC later : ) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1254 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-889 I'm always here if you need me.

I'm Ritz Menardi, I'm a little strange. I sometimes post scary things on here. I try to put content warnings on everything intense, but sometimes it gets a little out of hand and I forget... I'm also a poet. Spiritual at best, a little schizophrenic at worse, but at all times I try to be true to myself. If you don't like the vibes I 100% won't be upset if you unfollow / block me ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1260 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-898 good luck finding a match for me >: ) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/249 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── I had an idea for a proof of concept for a typographic layout - basically it's a mono space font that renders with typical kerning but the space between the words remains constant. The best of both worlds, as you can align things while also "tokenizing" words for our brains by smushing the letters together. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1261 ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ sometimes I run this WoW server with only like, 10 username and passwords.

Except, backwards - I'd argue with American conservatives (nobody more extreme than that) politely and kindly, using logic and empathy. I'd cite their sacred documents like the bible, the constitution, or even just the founding fathers. I don't know if I ever changed any minds, but I represented my ideas as honestly and clearly as I could. I can't help but hope that some people saw them and considered them. Sometimes all it takes is a push, and they'll start thinking on their own. Like a thought that doesn't go away, they can't quite forget how they couldn't find the lie in what you spoke. Or maybe I wanted to believe my actions had value. Post-hoc justification. Who can say. At least my intentions were honest. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1265 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-904 if people follow me I assume it's an invitation to comment on their posts.

Just as my computer inspires me in ways that a tree, a brook, a cloud alight might not. though the future may be terrifying, we're here for it together. And nothing has changed in our humanity, save for our slight addiction to social media. frankly I'd take social media over leaded gasoline any day! ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1272 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── get yourself a fedi friend who knows everyone and boosts the cool people ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1273 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-883 @user-450 I knocked, spoke aloud several times, poked my head in, and slowly and carefully looked around for signs of a struggle. There was a bath towel on the kitchen floor, which was weird, and their oven/stove was off, which is good. I spent less than 30 seconds in there, and then I waited out front for ~15 minutes. I also asked the neighbors and notified maintenance, who came over and shut the door. That's all I know. I hope they're okay. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1274 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: patriotism-mentioned-meanings-of-words-sorta-pol │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ if you're upset about how they twisted the meaning of "woke" just wait until you hear what they did to "patriot" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1275 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── Our chances may be far from pioneered but our chances may be in our favor ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1276 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── I think my boyfriend is a shapeshifter but he's too embarrassed to tell me T.T ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1277 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-913 If you switch "Application" for "Program" it's still just as bad ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1278 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── I found a new hat in the dumpster today!
