@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz nice! i'm still hanging around S+0

what kind of weapons do you like?

i used to use the luna blaster a lot, but i'm finding my classic squiffer game is getting pretty good, and the brella has some really nice utility

@sara jeez louise

that's terrifying

@sugar ah! i think i know where you're coming from

if this is about snouts.online and awoo, that wasn't actually because of a single user--it was because of a lot of harassment coming from snouts, and the moderators there ignoring it

(i agree it would be totally nuts if it was just an admin grudge--because that's really easily abusable)

@talenlee talen

@sugar i think it's more about being conscious about the company you keep and controlling your environment

if it doesn't bug you to be on an instance that doesn't moderate away nasty peeps, then staying on an instance that federates with everything is probably fine

but if it does, then whitelist-based instances would possibly be more your jam

in theory, the only peeps you can't talk with are ones who specifically choose to be on an instance that lets bad things happen

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz also, i know you're not thinking of learning japanese, but i highly recommend following the first chapter of textfugu: http://www.textfugu.com/season-1/hard-way/

it has a lot of neat tricks in it that can make you much more likely to succeed at following through if you decide to take the plunge

i know this isn't a sure thing, but whatever you end up deciding, good luck..!

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh! you can try different techniques for learning too!

the way schools teach language is not the only way to do it, and you might find other ways more effective or enjoyable

also, definitely look into spaced repetition, since it makes language learning significantly easier than you'll likely remember it being

anki (https://apps.ankiweb.net/) in particular has a really nice spaced repetition system

@noiob nice!

your color game ain't bad!

@poss_bot aww yiss

Training Daze and Go West Young Meowth are some of my absolute favs..!

ah yes, so that's how you do it...

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz the really tough part about it is that discourse is extremely effective at keeping kinks that aren't super-common from ever gaining any form of acceptance because the conversation can't be controlled by a group that's subdued

it's a perfect environment for bad actors to convince others of anything they feel like

@sara gotta get that Vitamin See

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz it's true... i haven't seen very many--but @Nystre is here occasionally!

maybe i'll start posting more art if i get into a good groove too?

i mean, this account is kinda halfway between a main account and an AD anyway, so i can do that!

@kotep best canon!

@Rosemary if someone legit karate chopped a fly out of the air, i would *definitely* be intimidated by their skill
