“Rachel you’re from the US why do you say ‘rubbish’”
Because there’s no one word in American English that conveys garbage/trash + recycling + compost other than perhaps “waste” and that just sounds wrong.
Various states on the state diagram of living in an apartment:
* There is too much rubbish. This is going to take me months to take out without completely monopolizing the bins.
* Okay I finally got my act together enough to take out some rubbish, just this week’s priority rubbish…oh the bins are full.
* Oh the bins are mysteriously empty. Did they collect a day early? How much can I put in without being rude?
* I just needed 3 things shipped to me. Why is my apartment full of cardboard again?

Usenet: find your people! there are several dozen of them on rec.arts.funny!
Listservs: find your people! there are 100 of them on this obscure list devoted to Marxist cultural criticism
Blogs: find your people! each time one of them visits your site, your little counter will increment! look! it has reached four digits!
Social media: find your people! there are several million strangers who are calling you names!
Post-social media: find your people! there are several dozen of them!
You know, for being a writer constantly surrounded by murder, that Jessica Fletcher really has her life together.

big dalamud vibes on birdsite tonight
Holy shit, they did it. They actually got SLS and Orion off the ground. #Artemis1
sometimes I think about how nice it would be to use a text-based social media client, and about my great nostalgia for Usenet, but then I remember that I explicitly only use social media from my phone so that when I’m on a laptop I can be in focus mode and actually get things done

@arjache The [seg]fault, dear $USER, is not in our [GitHub] stars, but in ourselves
remember, if you find some small flaw in your pull request, leave it in, lest your reviewers are motivated to find fault elsewhere

CyberSpace must not become just another power-oriented frontier fraught with struggle and violence. ↯92MAR

Freedom Planet 2 is finally released on PC! It took 7 years for us to fully realize the scope of this project and I couldn't be more proud of our team! Check it out if you're a fan of speed 2D platform games!

I'm looking for sites where I can get anime pictures for my computer. I am new at this so don't be technical. ↯94SEP
why did jurassic park have such a banger soundtrack. it didn’t need to. we all would have loved it anyway; it had dinosaurs
a fun thing I’ve started to do when I’m on my own: every time a piece of technology does something infuriating like interpret a stray gesture as a request to pop up a modal dialogue, I’ll yell NO in exactly the same tone as a disapproving toddler
I completely forgot I have a Mastodon app on my phone with an account and people I’m following and everything
if anyone would like to feel better about their own technical skill, it took me months of occasionally playing FFXI and thinking “I know this is a 20 year old game but it looks like it was rendered on an N64” before realizing today I’d set the game resolution lower than the window it was playing in
Duolingo (which I haven’t used in years) sent me an email in Japanese accepting a translation between Spanish and Italian.
a hypothetical person trying to talk to me about video games: so Epic…
me: Epic MegaGames?
them: well, anyway, their CEO Tim Sweeney —
me: oh, the guy who wrote ZZT
them: I guess? but then Cliff Bleszinski —
me: the creator of Dare to Dream, right, go on
