SWEET! My license to conceal carry a firearm has just been approved!!!!

As someone who is acrophobic, I'm having a hard time with "Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom". There are some games where I can set this aside and remind myself it's just a game (like "Breath of the Wild"), but "Tears" seems to double-down on it.

Looking forward to an afternoon of quiet #book #reading. Where ever you are in the world I wish you a pleasant #Sunday.

It's trickle-up economics.

It's intriguing how overconfident house cats are against animals that are much larger than them

That... is... brilliant! Even if only to get them out of the regular lanes!

Can we please stop throwing around the threat of defederation?

Defederation shouldn't happen unless an instance is a cesspool full of terrible behavior with an admin unwilling to deal with it.

Annoyances like spam can be dealt with by admins without scorching the Earth and going nuclear.

Lets not turn the #Fediverse, where instance are supposed to be part of a larger collection, into islands of instances that have cut themselves off from others because of annoyances.

@freemo COVID-19 is one of those things that should not be political but for some bizarre current era reason it is. I fully understand laymen having wildly different views though, as some people are more risk averse than others. This isn’t necessarily political.

My personal feeling is that even if something is so freaking lethal that it will surely end up killing me I’d rather spend my few remaining days is peace not thinking about it 24/7.

@customdesigned @pidgin On UNIX like systems you should already have purple-url-handler installed which is already setup to handle xmpp: uris via the .desktop file.

@customdesigned @wordshaper @timbray One interesting aspect is that originally multicasting (to a considerable extent) was based on a typical "broadcasting" model of many people listening (or viewing) to the same thing at the exact same time. As on-demand, user choice applications came to dominate, this model became less and less useful.

I before E except after C, except when your weird foreign neighbors Keith and Heidi seize the reins of their eight counterfeit heifer sleighs from feisty caffeinated weightlifters

For all you non-native English speakers out there, “read” is pronounced like “lead”, and “read” is pronounced like “lead”.

I pour some water in a trough
I sneeze and splutter, then I cough.
And with a rough hewn bough
My muddy paddy fields I plough.
Loaves of warm bread in a row
Crispy crusts and doughy dough.
Ow, my final duty to do
And then my chores will all be through.
My lament is finished, even though
Learning this word game is really slow.
It is so difficult, it's very rough
Learning English is really tough.
If a trough was a truff
And a plough was a pluff
If dough was duff
And though was thuff
If cough was cuff
And through was thruff
I would not pretend, or try to bluff,
But of OUGH I've had enough...
