I have a new friend who has a prosthetic leg. What should I know? Anyone know of articles etc I should read, so I'm not accidentally ableist?
Any help greatly appreciated.

@cassolotl@cybre.space bleary eyed, comes downstairs to the kitchen, picks up unfamiliar instant noodle pot thing to read instructions, utters "okay noodles, tell me your secrets". 😂

I just saw a penguin fart. 😌

Can there be something better than GNU/Linux please?

Thanks

1. Spend as little time and energy as possible obtaining enough money. If you can possibly get state benefits, do so.

2. Provide products and services free of charge wherever possible/practical.

Context: on a train with @cassolotl

Cassian: can I send you off to find a bin for this stuff?

Me: only if you acknowledge my humanity.

Cassian: hello human, how are your organs?

Sometimes I feel sad to be not to be more connected to the fediverse (Awoo only federates manually with specific, trusted instances).

But then sometimes I see evidence of friends caught in what looks like an intensely frustrating and stressful conversation. And when I investigate, I inevitably find that the source of the ablism/elitism/whatever is a user on an instance Awoo would be unlikely to ever federate with. 😸

A good strategy for furthering a liberal agenda:

1. Get all liberal parties to not ever run against each other in the same constituency.

2. Form many new parties with many variations on conservative policies, and run in every constituency, thereby splitting the conservative vote on each seat so the seat goes to a liberal candidate.

3. Profit (all seats sat in by liberal MPs)

Just found out my last remaining grandparent died last night, aged 100.

We have an antiquated First-Past-The-Post voting system, so don't forget to vote tactically!

#lgbt #webcomic Always Human is at times completely adorable.

It also has a nonbinary character, although I don't know how much they are featured as I'm not far in.

I wish the "show replies" toggle filtered based on whether the toot starts by tagging a user, instead of based on threading.

@cassolotl@cybre.space: wormholes are one-way.

Me: How do you know wormholes even exist?

Cassian: because you can see them, they are like a black dot because they suck all the light in.

Me: that's a black hole.

Cassian: a wormhole is when you have two black holes that are connected.

Me: I think you may be conflating science fiction with science.

Cassian: I would never.

For price of postage from the UK... (otherwise, free)

Wireless keyboard and mouse. Cherry eVolution ORCA

Unwanted because wireless has downsides, like needing to replace batteries.

It's a bit dirty, but it works. It's been packaged up and ready to send for a while.

@setavulos@cybre.space I just want to say that I love @secretgarden@botsin.space

Wondering why hentai is almost all child porn, I went investigating. Wikipedia offered some interesting facts about Japanese censorship law which:
"forbids the publication of obscene materials. Specifically, depictions of male-female sexual intercourse and pubic hair are considered obscene, but bare genitalia is not."

So... were they like "I know who doesn't have pubic hair: prepubescent children; let's depict them having sex with tentacle monsters! That's much less obscene."?
