@KawaSeadrake @Valerie_Elysee It's eminently MST3Kable, I'll say that.

"You just told me you aren't interested in my primary hobby and we've known each other for two minutes. Let's exchange phone numbers, since we're both tourists in the same country."
@Valerie_Elysee: "Who knew that this would end up being more like No Exit than anything else?"
... and now we're off to Akihabara. Oh, joy.

@irisjaycomics So far it appears to be PORQUE NO LOS DOS while I do a kickflip off of a gargantuan copy of Elements of Style and double-flip-off my editor, then fall flat on my back and break my collarbone on my own hubris.
Critique
Next up, Sergeant Pupper's Lonely Hearts Club Bland and the Lord Pompous Plair, the Guardian of the Trolley Problem.
And... nice job. Caylen just outed the whistleblower while confronting the Trump-alike. To say nothing of the potentially complicated gender politics that have just been engaged.
... but what in ANYONE'S NAME did that segment have to do with the previous story?
Critique
"Earlier that day,
In the courtrooms of Terra.
A planet far from Earth;
Yet closer than was known to any."
WHAT IS WRONG AND WHO DID THIS TO YOU?
Critique
"Maid Cafes?
Those were much like restaurants in western culture.
However, your waitress actually stays at your table.
You converse with them, play games, get to know them..."
THIS IS AN EXACT LINE FROM THE ACTUAL GAME. HOLY BLAP.
Critique
"Only given the concrete details last week" for a life-altering tour? An NDA for a publicity tour? This isn't a tour; it's a self-kidnapping.
Critique
Could someone please pick a tense and stick with it? I don't care which one. Just pick one.
Critique
We're at the first possible narrative split and we've decided this has to be the Furry 4Kids dub.
Critique
I'm going to watch @adeptomega play Major/Minor and critique the narrative as we go.
Great Work help me.
@Soreth Depending on how you categorize 'kin, quite probably.

@ElectricKeet just made me spittake weedsmoke.

@indi Orientation class, perhaps. Welcome new and returning students.
@Xkeeper Legit! I crosspost to DreamWidth, to be sure, but most of the people I knew who used LJ disbanded from long-form media when it died, rather than transition. The ones who made the leap weren't enough to sustain a community there, and now most of the people I know are more skittish of "centralized ownership" than they are of "writing more than 140 characters at a time."
@Xkeeper I spent a long time beating Wordpress's privacy tools into submission using a plugin that the developer keeps trying to kill and seemingly can't because the thing he wants to replace it with is paid-for-basic-features and his old one is free. Can confirm, it's highly unpleasant.
On the flipside, my content is now mine and I don't have to worry about my hosting service going away when the Russians buy it. I just have to worry about being undiscoverable on the internet.
@Jssra To call it a "list" implies I successfully organized. I just have a massive list of email addresses to which I add over time. I can forward you the invite, certainly. What's your best email address? I'll forward it over when I get home.
@abbenm Land before Time and the Herbie series.
"Herbie Goes Solarpunk," in which Herbie meets Littlefoot, learns where oil comes from, converts to solar panels and electric, and goes on a madcap adventure to stop the harvesting of dead dinosaurs for their spirit power.
@chuckwendig At least, that's how I try to explain it to people. I have no idea if that's helpful, but that's the closest I've ever come.
@chuckwendig "Instances are like mail servers. When you log into Google, you send mail from Google. When you log into Microsoft, you send mail from Microsoft. When you log into your work account, you send mail from your work servers. Maybe your client may let you log into more than one mail server at once, but you have to log into each mail server locally. That's how federation works. You can have multiple local accounts and toot from each of them."
