Personal, Pol 

I can't keep backing away whenever I end up being sad..I just need to push through, a lot of people depend on it.

Nazis are everywhere, and the planet is in danger.

portland / bigots / safety 

there is a big white nationalist event this saturday in Portland, and there are reports that two queer folx found molotov cocktails sitting in their yards menacingly. stay observant and safe everyone :antifa:

We trust you have received the usual lecture from your local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Women, especially women of color and trans women, built the foundations of most of your digital life.
#2) Before you try to help someone with a problem, make sure they actually asked for your assistance.
#3) Others' needs are more important than your convenience.

Personal Toughts 

I felt like Brexit itself has destablised reality, causing all kinds of absurd things to happen. I'm not liking it at all.

Some unreality is good, but when it's most of the time, you have no reference point!

Elon Musk Discovery, Aw man 

I discovered that he developed an online finance system, X, which became PayPal.

The more I learn, the more I begin to think that it's harder to escape the dystopia of rich white cishets.

I, personally, would just post Switch screenshots manually, really.

I can convert them to PNG and make them less of a pain to download over slow connections.

Capitalism, thinking 

Isn't it a bit backwards that some people value things over lives?

If a fire broke out, some people would gladly try to save things, as opposed to just..getting out of the building.

Is this what Capitalism brought upon us all?

Facism, what the? 

So, I've just got Tower Unite, and what on earth?

Yeah, the honkler model is in the workshop.

Just reported it.

Okay officially asking for a bit of help. Though I'd have decent housing when I landed in #Portland but only had enough for one night and I got like five days before I am in on. Anything to either cash.me/%24jackyalcine or to a housing setup would be dope

Meta, don't think I don't know what's been going on 

I see you, Gab, I see you, Fedilab, among others, I'm not completely out of the loop here!

If I have to use that Desmond Tutu quote, then I swear to freaking cat god, I will..er..

...I don't know, honestly. A lot of words I could use would be ableist and insulting, so...

Yikes! I..huh, it seems to be a moth that's hiding under one of my game console.

Very odd as to why it's hiding in a dark place, but..eh.

Oh, don't go onto the floor! It's dangerous!

Reminder:

Evading blocks on here is shitty.

Making new accounts to follow someone who blocked you is shitty.

Finding their accounts on other websites so you can message them is shitty.

I don't care why you want to do it, don't.

"Just wanna check up?" Not your job any more

"Wanted to let them know I've been working on the issue" good for you, they told you that for your benefit, they don't need to talk to you

For Fediverse admins, recommended block/mute 

This PeerTube instance - used by a single user - hosts violent/killing/illegal videos there: libre[.]tube

I've been contacted by a German canton's police to take one video down on my instance as it was a murder of a young woman.
A quick search of the owner's username reveals he's been already banned from many video platforms for the extreme and conspiracy content.

Firefox, Mozilla, big oof 

Well..they say that now, but..give them a few months, and it will be just like Chrome...

This, in case you're wondering:
news.softpedia.com/news/firefo

Any other alternatives that aren't Chrome or Chrome-Lite(Mozilla)?

so you can be auged to hell and back and still keep your humanity if you're in hock to an employer or benefactor, but fully organic rich people run the risk of going off the deep end at any moment too

a cyberpunk pen-and-paper system where your character has a running "net value of personal property" stat that's inversely related to their humanity

Well, I've been recording a new BBC drama for the past month or so, called Years and Years. I get the feeling, from what I've seen, it's a warning to us about..you-know-who.

Ouch, ouch! Okay, Stress brings on Concussion symptoms..best stop on the Pol ranting for now.
