arctic. i think it's been abandoned sadly

4get https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get https://4get.ca/instances

lots of public instances which tend to be very stable + it's extremely easy to self host. in my experience it's significantly better than every other proxy search engine

:(

4get is my new favorite

my understanding is that:

• nonbinary: identifies in any way that falls outside the woman/man gender paradigm. this includes but is not limited to agender people, and some other examples are genderfluid, bigender, and xenogender identities
• agender: lacks gender entirely or does not identify with any particular gender

so all agender people are nonbinary, but not all nonbinary people are agender

i think synapse is just kind of awful. i'm running a continuwuity (fork of conduwuit) server, and it's been incredibly straightforward and painless compared to synapse

also colorado here. just rained where i'm at for first time in a couple weeks, still getting above 30c most days

Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

yeah exactly. i find it really interesting how some people just can't separate understanding a text from internally picturing it. it makes me wonder if there's some legitimate difference in information processing, or if people who can visualize tend to associate understanding with imagining even if they're actually unrelated

as a reader and writer with aphantasia, it's literally never once mattered to me. i love a good fantasy and just don't consider visualizing an obligate part of the experience. though i could definitely understand how it might be helpful

no i don't think this is real. all his truth social posts are archived here, and it doesn't seem to be listed

i like it. helps dilute all the depressing politics in my feed

i think it's easy to forget that nazis have been in america for a while now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_Nazi_rally_at_Madison_Square_Garden

yeah i love doom eternal and you're completely right here. i think it's definitely more noticeable at higher difficulties, but the game absolutely demands a certain rhythm

i don't know it feels a little picky for you to only be happy with death or complete societal collapse

Hi there, gen Z person here. Things are bad but remember that, as always, you only see and hear about the vocal minority. No matter how poor American education standards are, it is irrefutable that Trumpism could not exist without idiots from all generations. The education paradigms we are emerging from cannot possibly be worse than those which produced tens of millions of conservatives and hundreds of millions of nonvoters. This is specifically because of those gen X leftists and millennial teachers you mentioned. We aren't competing as generations--failures of the past become the lessons of the present because older generations also have smart people. So how do you know gen Z won't do even better? Everything else aside, growing up under fascism creates widespread discontent. I'd say from personal knowledge that for every one gen Z kid that believes in the system are five who at least recognize it's broken.

Now, I won't pretend to be particularly optimistic either; things are bad. However, I also want to believe that we can and will do better. And maybe I'll be wrong, but at least I haven't given up hope.

works for me with protonvpn

how lovely. i've always hated corners

i tried this with a real version of gemini by editing its initial response with yes and asking it to continue. interesting response for sure
