Drug humor
@angrboda As long as it's not because of weed, sure. *grins*
@irisjaycomics A jelly donut is a dessert sandwich.
@irisjaycomics @fluffy@queer.party Twenty-somethings who'll do your shopping, cook you a meal, listen to you complain about the Kids Today with mumbled apologetics and sympathies about how hard it is to remember which button on the remote erases your prom dancing video and which one just tells the microwave to reheat your coffee, help you sort your mail, carry out the trash like their own spawn never would, wash up, and lock the door when they leave. Indefinite childhood and boomer care as day labor.
pol, frustration
@noiob I did warn you.
pol, frustration
@irisjaycomics @emanate Same, though. It's been a learned skill for me not to do it, and it's _hard_.
@tastymochafox Some kind of weird primate-derivative custom species, they look like? Are humans the new sergal? "Original character donut steal!"
@neonNeptunian, @Oneironott, @KawaSeadrake, @indi, get the welcome fronds and cue the song. We got another homecomer! =n.n=
@tastymochafox Halcyon's a place. Specifically, a reframing of Neptune (psychic seapunk aesthetic) through a bunch of communal development. We're a strange and creative bunch, we are. =n.n=

@tastymochafox Oh Great Work that's a familiar feeling. My pre-transition self eventually became a character as part of my personal path. Sympathies. Hopefully the drop into new self and new headspace is more comforting and comfortable than the old.
@tastymochafox Have you been introduced to Halcyon yet? We have many glowy otters to share! Other good, glow good. =n.n=
@tastymochafox Inspired: the subtle bondage of very pretty but delicate outfits and freshly-painted claws.
@srol This is why we have sandbox environments.
@skolli@mastodon.social Autechre is simultaneously amazing and incredibly _itchy_. Like, I love listening to them in some states of mind, and a few of their tracks are great regardless, but there's so much of their creative output that I have a hard time even classifying as _music_. It's _good_, but it blows my mind.
@Fuego I got the same impression when I went to Ft. Lauderdale. South Florida is just... one giant Miami Vice episode.
@indi What I really want, and may one day design if never implement, is a three-tier system of posting, tagging posts, and concurring/disagreeing with the tags others have left. And then filtering systems set up over who has permission to leave what tags, or respond to what tags. It all looks very complicated and makes parts of my systems-driven head very happy, all while terrifying Elbey staring at this nightmare of data tracking and weeping into his paws.
@indi @Lobst Generally speaking, I understand "like" to be "non-specific noise of support of you as a person to have produced this thing." In a social media landscape as dominated by gamified systems as we've all come to expect, and with as limited a set of tools as we have to express ourselves in that space, it's about the best I'm going to get, and I've learned to stop worrying and love the Like. I can still dream of better interfaces, but I'll take what I can get in the interim. :)
@Lobst All communication carries the risk of miscommunication. The scale of miscommunication is relative to the connotative gap between parties, and generally inverse with the simplicity of the medium. Your likes don't mean what my likes mean. My likes today won't mean what my likes tomorrow mean. Functionally, "likes" are meaningless because of their deliberate ambiguity, but we're implicitly encouraged to assume they carry a consistent communicable value. I don't like them.
