dream, friendly/aggressively recruiting group mind
the group mind had gotten me with a physical virus, in the early stages of development (one of their "drones" had stabbed me in a fight). by now it was on the second stage of spreading, via memetic devices, both random (posters in public areas) and directed ("go tell all your friends!"). the hive node was preparing for the third stage of infection, which was happening in a couple of days--a memetic signal in a massively popular televised concert.

like the CW says. I'd been "recruited" into the group mind, but I was still in stage 1, my mind was being integrated but I was still individual enough to feel attached to my body. I came to the local hive node because I was feeling physically distressed, and they cheerfully took me in, wrapped me in a warm blanket (which felt AMAZING), and put me in a quiet room with other stage 1 semi-individuals, and we talked a bit.

@JulieSqveakaroo @001zlnv I would be very interested in your report of what is actually entailed!
TIL There are mini truck garden contests in Japan
The “kei” trucks are barely larger than city cars. The goal is to build the most aesthetically pleasing garden in the truck bed

@zebratron2084 and also fwiw HPMOR delves specifically into a lot of the ways in which the original HP universe is fucked the fuck up.

@zebratron2084 fwiw I don't actually like it much--I don't hate it, but I'm definitely not a fan. I'm just re-reading HPMOR and it's bringing up thoughts again. XD

A debate on IRC got me wondering: how is "guys" perceived, as in "you guys" or "guys" as the leading word in a sentence...
to me it's gender neutral but to many it addresses a group of men
so, to make a poll: https://www.strawpoll.me/15847774/
Also, this kinda came up, but not everyone using Masto/masto-like sites are tech savvy. Telling me to build my own instance or do _______ as someone who barely understand what it means and entails isn't useful.
Masto discourse is not accessible and some of yall are just hostile and annoying and condescending for no reason whatsoever.
