Is there a way to make favs of my toots automatically have expanded CWs in the notifications column? Getting multiple favs in a thread I need to click through to see which one, when I'm probably okay seeing the content since, well, I wrote it.

Hexagon folks: the very good minimalist reflex game Super Hexagon is only one dollar on Steam right now.

Truck Boy bet a dollar with me over who will lose first. I feel almost guaranteed to win the bet.

It's great if you want existing in public for a month to come with constant low-level paranoia!

Okay y'all, it's thanksgiving in the US, which means that it's officially time for THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY GAME.

You mission, should you choose to accept it, it to reach December 26th without hearing any version of the song "little drummer boy". When you recognize that you're hearing the song, you lose.

Full rules at littledrummerboy.info/

I win most years, but lost last season.

okay new proposal
since it's only an American thing we should call it "Yanksgiving"

instead of
where are you going

oh

ok

Duna and back using only electric power in stock KSP. Note: ion engines don't have enough thrust to reach orbit. Serious shenanigans are required.

gaming, capitalism 

Income inequality has created people who can afford to -be- whales, and the market has created commodities to suit them.

All of the devastated bank and credit accounts of children and vulnerable people are, from the perspective of the marketplace, either an undesirable side effect or pure gravy from a commodity being consumed by people outside of its target demographic, IE, people with mad stacks o' cash.

The FTL soundtrack really is sublime, y'all.

I highly recommend it if you like slightly-abstract instrumental synth, even if you have no interest in the game.

The game is great too though :)

I hereby propose a new Mastodon Slang Lingo addition: when u get boosted by Gargron it's called "getting gargled" now

Hey so how does the durability of vegan leather compare to actual cowhide? I need a new belt for daily wear and am wondering if vegan might be a good option.

(Love my chainmail belt, but using it as dailywear seems to mean it'll require more frequent maintenance than I want to deal with.)

Thx for your feedback, folks! We will improve the default privacy of toots so it will work like on web mastodon.

Oddities of English: tape measure ≠ measuring tape.

Muddy political terminology in the US also means when people say "I'm a socialist" without further qualifiers it's impossible to tell if they mean "we need to overthrow capitalism" or "I think the State should own the railroads".

Y'know what, in terms of political terminology it's super irritating that social democracy ≠ democratic socialism.

Key: social democracy is capitalist (think Scandinavia), democratic socialism is not (think DSA).

It's almost as bad as how ambiguous "liberal" is in the US.
