I literally don’t understand the idea that explaining jokes makes them less funny

I think it’s cool to explain jokes even if people get them. sometimes, you’ll find that they interpreted the joke differently than you thought. so now, you have two ways of laughing at the same joke, which only makes it funnier, to me

Drew this trying to think of something more elaborate, like a DM screen or module cover. Then it became practice for doing up something *big* with comic book styled cut and grad shading. This is far from perfect, but I still think I learned a bit from this.

don't forget that "malleable" literally means "should be hit with a hammer"

we have a lot of malleable technology in this world

also "ductile" means "can take it with you crawling through an air duct" and "tensile" means "makes you really tense if you hit it with a hammer while crawling through an air duct"

Two from a couple of weeks back which I really worked out today, one drawing completely from today. Also I’m still really into Oingo Boingo.

~ The Fediverse safety feature cycle ~ 

Users: Hey if Mastodon did X, it would make it trickier for abusive people to do something, which would prevent some abuse

Weird dudes on github: It wouldn't *prevent* anything. With a great amount of effort, you could work around this, and then anyone could have the information you're trying to hide, as long as they know Ruby, Python, Perl, Haskell, Fortran and punch-card—

Pleroma devs: We already built a feature that automates the abuse you're afraid of

If you haven't yet, I *highly* recommend this Crash Course on Navigating Digital Information: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8d

The stages of ADHD. 

1: While sitting on the throne, realize that I forgot to move the towels from the washer to the dryer. Resolve to do that once finished with... biological obligations. Bio-obs. Biobs.

2: While lying in bed six hours later, realize that I still haven't moved the towels, but now I'm too tired to want to deal with it. Resolve to re-wash them in the morning. Feel like a loser, sleep anyway.

3: While sitting on the throne twelve more hours later, realize that I yet again have forgotten to handle the towels... but this time, manage to keep the thought in mind long enough to make it out of the bathroom to do the thing!

4: Find that I forgot to put the towels in the wash in the first place, then forgot that I forgot.

5: Post on Mastodon before washing towels.

Ah, it'll be nice when my medication refills arrive.

me, writing an email:

hi. sorry for not getting back to you sooner. i hate replying to things. that doesn't mean i hate you! but i do hate your emails, because i have to reply to them. theres nothing wrong with the email. in fact i was overjoyed to read it! but now i am dismayed, because i must reply. it takes a lot of energy to write a reply to any email, so please dont take it personally. in fact i believe i am out of energy now.

yours sincerely,
josef
