“The alt-right are people who are just like us, so...”

WRONG: “...we should sympathize with them and try to understand their viewpoints.”

RIGHT: “...we should see their transformation into hateful monsters as all the more horrifying, and guard against that transformation in ourselves.”

Reminder: Whenever you go to apologize but then realize it isn’t something you should apologize for and you wonder what to say instead: SAY THANK YOU. Your apologetic instinct is to lower yourself to raise up someone else, and the raising is great but the lowering is unnecessary: Just give them the blessing. Say “thank you for waiting” instead of “sorry I’m late”. It works.

Drawing a sharp dividing line between "metaphorically" and "literally" is modernist bullshit imo.

@packetcharmer@witches.town​ Hi!!! I thought I was already following you!

Hmm, appear to have set off the smoke detector even with the range hood running on low.

I think our alarm is just really overzealous tbh. There wasn't even any smoke.

Hm, I wonder if an emoji of the pleiades would actually look any good.

Problem with setting my locale to "awoo": want to say "boop!" aloud every time someone boops my snoot (favs) on here.

(this is not actually a problem)

My experience in The Long Dark just before wrapping up the session:

Starting to get hypothermic and it's snowing, but there's a wolf shadowing me so I can't stop to try and start a fire. Didn't have any torches prepped. Just... keep walking and hope I can find some shelter and stay ahead of the wolf before I can't keep walking anymore.

Hey so it seems like The Long Dark is the survival game I've been waiting for.

Setup: First-person. Your plane just crashed in northern canada. Try not to die.

I'm a couple hours in and so far it's excellent. On sale right now!

ahhhh I'm eagerly awaiting lists so I can follow all the cool people without getting inundated.

My girlfriend, a couple of years ago: "I'm more butch than my boyfriend and more femme than my girlfriend."

Was 100% accurate.
