do you ever just want to pet and hug a bat

@heatherhorns about the only ads we're still exposed to are junk mail and junk email we haven't yet gotten around to unsubscribing

and the occasional spam phone call but we don't get a ton of those
-F

@heatherhorns we somehow manage to avoid ads pretty well

always wear headphones when we go out (music helps with anxiety), have everything locked down hard with adblockers, we don't watch tv or movies so no ads that way

we don't see or hear ads most of the time

@typhlosion i guess it depends on how it's prepared?
-F

@Nerts maybe humans have a centaur upper half
-F

@KinkyTurtle I dunno whether Beekes has any idea what they're talking about though

then again, i dunno whether i do either
-F

@heatherhorns what's crazy frog?
-F

@KinkyTurtle @Austin_Dern Cerberus is also named Spot (The Greek Κέρβερος means "Spotted")

@hi_cial it's not a bug--it's the level at which the pokemon is caught that matters, not their current level
-F

@hi_cial we checked a couple of charity stores today but neither of them had any VCRs

though one did confirm that they do still accept VCRs and they show up from time to time, so we'll check in there occasionally

might also ask our coworkers if anyone happens to still have one
-F

@packbat @Roxy it still just kinda bugs us, possibly because we know the etymology and that -o- is always the linking vowel used in this context, but i dunno

it just bugs us! i don't want to be prescriptivist about it but it bugs us
-F

@iBolt07 oh! i couldn't understand what the text was supposed to be, and we live where snow isn't very remarkable so didn't even notice it in the image
-F

@sharkNserg to the point that we had to look twice when we learned that dragon quest had *four* entries on the NES--we just thought of rpgs in sets of three
-F

@iBolt07 what's this?
-F

@trysdyn it's easier to just be open about things and get the awful people to avoid you, than it is to hide things and then be betrayed by someone you thoguth was a friend when you tell them
-F

@Oneironott thank you!
-F

@Roxy why do people misspell it all the time anyway? i get why people say mastodon instead of fedi but why the spelling??

@solarmerps it was part of an electrical engineering/physics dual major degree, there was one mandatory programming course and several you could take as an option if you wanted to specialize into computer engineering

we think computers are too cursed for us to study (programming is hard) so we just did the one mandatory one
-F

@solarmerps yeah we're not too familiar with what's normal, our classes focused on hardware, not software
-F

@solarmerps the one programming class we took, we were required to use linux for it. is that that weird?
