re: Statement of the state of me, mh(-) 

@Phorm You continue to be fine by me. I wish I could help more, and if you want to talk, you know where my messangers are. If I'm not saying things here it's because chosing the right ones hasn't worked at the moment

There's a mstdn.social now. Seems rude to use a name so close to an existing instance?

@ElectricKeet wait what?! just .. how was that a reasonable thing to code

re: warning about HRT / Menopause 

@siege And in the short term you'll get things like hot flashes which

the name does not do justice to how annoying they are

@Tetanon No, this is a later thing. at the time of floppies internet wasn't reliable enough to really depend on. So you tended to get more disk 1/14 instead.

The installer which downloads the rest started like...late XP days I want to say?

Irresponsible things to do with a time machine, series ???? out of ???:

Travel back to the first person to invent installers that don't contain the entire program and wave a spray bottle at them while yelling NO BAD PROGRAMMER

I want an installer, not a bootstrapper. Because want real backups not something that goes *poof* when you update or the server goes down.

@kootenay I don't see any peanuts on that menu clearly deficient

@ElectricKeet and then they get pissy at people asking questions..

After re-watching this Tom Scott video youtube.com/watch?v=2tdiKTSdE9 I kinda want to see a SF story where the protaganists are uplifted hamsters, because that's who your starship crews have to be.

US Politics, all caps 

@mawr that last line is just...what?!

Eldritch abominations musing 

Occured to me last night that from the perspective of a sea creature *fire* might as well be an eldritch abomination.

Can't occur naturally
Curls and whips limbs in bizarre unpredictable patterns causing dancing shadows
Harms if you get too close even if you don't touch it
Being around it in the wrong space can kill
for some it brings annihilation, scaring for others, some untouched
Can be banished, but if the banishing isn't thorough sometimes comes back anyway

Random effect of movie watching: I have to suppress the urge to say "fuck you Mars" every time I finish drinking from a drink bottle

no coyote I did not need a dawn alarm clock today thank you

re: ridiclous RPG character concepts 

Necromancer who doesn't check how their target was burried so they're followed around by a pile of rolling dust.

cw: eating hot things, COVID affecting my body's capsaicin response 

@mawr that one is extra wtf o.O

(I like xkcd but that particular thing has always annoyed me)

Show thread

Had a thought of a social media site that allows you to send the same post out in multiple languages, for outreach stuff and heavily bilingual communities.

and then I realized like xkcd and alt text 99% of it would be another post in English as a joke

@Soreth what I want to know is where are all the toilet paper posts
