This weekend I realized why I found it so baffling that no one else likes the motion controls in Mario Odyssey... They have full right thumbs. I don't.

I'm physically incapable of pressing more than two buttons at a time, because I'm missing the top 1/3rd of that thumb. The _only_ reason I can play Mario Odyssey is because of those motion controls replacing the 3rd button in combos.

Or, as put so delightfully succinctly by @thefishcrow​, motion controls are an accessibility feature for me.

See this is why I like the idea of they/them pronouns.

What gender am I? What if I don't feel safe asking for female pronouns? What if I'm agender? What if I'm a plural system? Do I actually need a potentially personal chunk of identity defined every time I get groceries or buy coffee?

They/them for everyone as a nice formality - a little like referring to everyone as -san or tovarisch - sidesteps issues.

y'all wanna know why I like sci-fi?

go here. watch this.

dont ever learn about computers, their history, how to code etc, because then youll see the massive gap between what they are and what they could be, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days

I still maintain that a “soy boy” should theoretically actually mean something like a “po boy” and therefore be a little like banh mi only with fried tofu and maybe chili garlic sauce, which I think would go really well with fried tofu.

the tesla semi truck looks cool but if elon musk gave a shit about anything he'd be spending his money on making rail infrastructure and public transit a thing in the US instead of mostly making wildly expensive luxury cars

I've said it before but it bears repeating: the use of ad-blockers generally DOESN'T reflect a desire to not see any ads at all. It reflects a desire to not see ABUSIVE ads.

Pop-up ads, ads that redirect our browser to other sites, ads that flash and dance and play audio and video, ads that cover the content: this is what we're trying to avoid.

You won't get us to turn off our blockers by complaining about revenue streams.

Promise us your ads are SAFE and we'll disable our blocker for you.

i should write a thing that replaces every word with its longest equivalent from a thesaurus and call it "text to speech"

Thinking about the quality control department for the makers of those zippers that break off at the start of every fursuit TF.

Anarchists: So most of the work force fucked off to fight WWII and we still fed and clothed everyone and made bombs and boats and planes... Then they came back and we still think 8 hours is necessary?

Me: *mind blown*

Why do we call them narcissistic popufurs and not clique bait?

does it count as saying thanks very loudly if you just link someone to the THX sound, asking for a friend
