Spouse and I went to the store, and were wondering whether the cats would be a. frantic/anxious/panicked when we got back because OMG HUMANS GONE AGAIN or b. asleep on the bed.

they took option b. I know, big surprise. XD

They're callin' it Mannequin Poppers. Somebody slips it into a kid's drink, next day he wakes up at a T.J. Maxx covered in Cheezits.

Hey US trans people:

If you're tired of getting deadnamed by PayPal, just change it into a business account, no actual company required.

Then you can use whatever name you want. You'll see your deadname on login, but no one else will when they give you money.

Lab says she was wacked out on some new drug called Robo Madness. Found her naked at Hot Dog on a Stick screamin' 'My name is Guy Fieri, welcome to my kitchen!'

Spouse saw Mastodon open on my desktop, asked "is this twitter for dragons?" 😂

also after over a week of Disneyworld, Universal Studios Theme Park And Humungous Outdoor Mall is... a definite downgrade. it's hard not to notice the differences.

(plus I want to go do the Flight of Passage thing again because SERIOUSLY I COULD LIVE THERE FOREVER EEEEE)

idea: make a fursuit that looks like a Star Wars stormtrooper, but extra-fluffy and padded, as a "Snuggletrooper."

Tech writer: mastodon will never kill twitter

Mastodon users: meh, that's okay, all I ever really wanted was a place where I wouldn't be relentlessly attacked by nazis, ads or nazi ads

Tech writer: and therefore Mastodon sucks and is doomed to perpetual failure

Mastodon users: maybe you want to double-check your metrics of success, bud

Tech writer: dooooooooooooooooomed!

This is also how websites (the average person doesn't see "web apps") are seen by most people.

Why should everyone have to be an expert? Just so the beneficial social effects you insist have to happen come to pass?

Maybe hold engineers accountable and build products for human beings, like we do with cars. We build cars like people's lives depend on it, and we should do the same with software, because people's lives *do* depend on it.

You know how most people pay someone to build their car for them rather than try to do it themselves? And then usually pay for the maintenance rather than do it themselves? And only the enthusiasts and workers do it themselves?

Computers are like that to most people.

I collect decks of playing cards.

When a friend travels someplace and asks me if I want anything, I always ask for a set of playing cards that depict that location. It's small to travel with and inexpensive.

If you would like to add to my collection and help it grow, please PM me. I'm always appreciative of new cards!

public Nazis, ethics, doxing, question 

serious question to which I would like serious discussion/answers: is it ethical to dox Nazis? like, taking pictures of the Seattle Nazi crew (and their cars, and their buddies), posting them to the internet, finding out where they live/work and posting that to the internet, that kind of thing?

I'm fine with Nazi-punching, and in practice doxing has worked to silence them. I'm curious what y'all think on the subject.
