I keep thinking about this article.
"I Don’t Know How To Explain To You That You Should Care About Other People": https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/i-dont-know-how-to-explain-to-you-that-you-should_us_59519811e4b0f078efd98440

Congress yesterday: "Trump won't fire Mueller. It would be incredibly stupid."
Congress this morning: "Trump won't fire Mueller, we're sure of it."
Congress this afternoon: "We are begging the president not to fire the special counsel."
hot take: Masto should not focus on acquiring new users
it should focus on providing its users a safe, stable, reliable place to form a community, and allow users to join organically
trying to emulate other systems by incorporating their flaws is a terrible idea and guess against the whole ethos behind most people who came here

one thing i like about being an admin on Masto is knowing that I'm not doing free shit for a companies profit
like, it's one of the most frustrating things as a reddit mod, bc the site ultimately couldn't run without us and yet we make no money and get no respect. Facebook groups are the same way, as well as a number of other social networking sites

Hi! We notice you're driving past our bookstore!
That's great, but you have your car windows closed. Would you mind opening your windows? We'd like to fill your car with wasps and locusts.
Now just one minute. Filling strangers' cars with wasps and locusts is how we pay our bills. Do you want us to starve?
We understand you may have had some bad experience with other wasp-and-locust providers. Some low-quality locusts got in the mix. But that's all been sorted out now!
Window. Open it.
WoW grumbling
so after ALL THAT GODDAMN REP GRINDING I now have to go LEVELGRIND a character I'm never going to touch again on a server I don't use. /headdesk
WoW grumbling
last night I finally FINALLY finished grinding up the damn rep for Army of the Light, to make a shiny Draenei, and thought I'd treat myself by going over and rolling one right away. and I couldn't. because I didn't have the achievement. because in order to complete the achievement I NEED A LEVEL 110 ALLIANCE CHARACTER.
my highest-level Alliance alt is a 100 hunter. on a server cluster I don't use any more because it's effectively dead.
I FEEL THIS WAS NOT ADEQUATELY EXPLAINED.

tbh the giant rattlesnake dream was almost certainly inspired by the Glitch Mob cover art to "We Can Make The World Stop" https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/we-can-make-the-world-stop-ep/445708663
