Photos like this are the best 🤍

it drives me nuts how few people i know have hobbies.

its so easy to have a hobby! literally start doing anything that isn't watching tv or browsing the internet and boom, you have a hobby.

i started baking when i decided i wanted to be that lady who brings food to work. I didnt even have measuring cups.

i started knitting when i was 19 working at a craft store, i saw pretty yarns and so i bought some cheap stuff and learned.

seriously, whatever craft you think you wanna do, just get the cheapest possible version of the tools you'll need and start working on it!

If a woman complains about mansplaining anything you say to her after that is now mansplaining, I'm sorry I don't make the kafkatraps

Some of you are saying “fr” ironically and I just want you to know that one day it won’t be ironic anymore

replacing "drug" with "hug"

nine inch nails - you are the perfect hug

Ian dury - sex an' hugs an' rock'n'roll

etc usw itd

The weird little cults of personality that develop in academia are disgusting to me.

There are a couple profs in my department who are minorly "famous" (I had never heard of them before I joined the department as they are only well known in their own specialized fields -- and even then, not particularly so) and so there are always a certain number of grad students who come specifically to work with them. And these grad students just follow these profs around like a train of baby birds, refusing to speak to anyone else, parroting everything the prof says, to the point of being completely incapable of original or critical thought.

Beyond being sad and annoying, this also causes all kinds of problems, as it creates relationships of power that are rife with abuse and exploitation.

Anyway, the lesson here is that the best way to prevent being abused/disappointed by idols is to not idolize people in the first place.

lost another friend to weed my poastfriends, I wish I was joking when I said he's already lost all motivation in life and just sits around smoking

@sfr@ralsei.moe @schratze@todon.nl @kayden@fedi.nullob.si honestly im not sure if "somehow people have created terminal emulators that somehow run at less than 60" or "some elite gamer out there actually notices their terminal running at 59fps" is more concerning

I remarked something weird.

@arefgee @bonifartius @atoponce I'm fine with them having a female CEO, that's great, good for her! but this shouldn't take priority over Firefox improvements and innovative projects.

while people switch to Chromium because it's better and Google gets a bigger grip on the internet, Mozilla kills its only innovation, and raises the salaries of their chairs 400%!

https://calpaterson.com/mozilla.html

@arefgee @bonifartius @atoponce lol I'm far-left, hate Joe Rogan and tech influencers, and still think Firefox is misplacing resources. instead of funding and advancing technological innovation, they decide to run it into the ground with obviously performative gestures like funding "social causes", making useless services like Pocket and Lockwise, shutting down actual innovations like Servo (memory safe browser engine), not encouraging choice (barely any Gecko-based browsers exist)

There is a difference between pointing out the unethical practices of a company, and using this information as leverage to actually hide and spew ones bigotry.

@arefgee, how does one hide and spew bigotry at the same time? To quote the first post in this thread that you replied to,

at least they got female ceo who works for a fraction of the usual “compensation” in the industry so we should be grateful they killed all technical branches of mozilla and bought shitty services like pocket instead, so progressive.

it would only be bigoted if you are unable to sense sarcasm. To rephrase, @bonifartius meant to pick on the two excuses used to defend the corporation:

The CEO is a woman, and thus it is progressive, regardless of how dispensable labors are treated.
The CEO is doing humanity a favor by accepting a relatively low compensation, despite it being multi-million-dollar and her and managements’ execution of shutting down multiple important division such as servo.

More importantly, this was not your argument to jump into. Even if it was public.

Are you acting this entitled like you are a higher class of human being just because I am from a third-world country or that is how you treat others in general? /s

Of all the other replies and original post, this is the only thing that attracted to you reply.

I jumped into where I jumped into because later down the threat it became mostly personal insults thanks to your trolling and escalation. How could you keep calling names without proper justification while pretend to preach against bigotry?

In the end, what you have done just now is to help an individual begin to form a mob.

I hope you are just trolling, because otherwise you are the one radicalizing others against progress by channeling resentment and being unlikable. I am ashamed that there exist people like you also claiming to be leftist (or against right-extremist), while all you seek is provocation.
