The fact that third-party vote pisses off both democrats AND republicans is a good enough reason on its own!

You couldn't pay me enough to vote for trump. There's not enough money in the world.

That orange pos, thanks to man, is way ahead in the polls. Biden needs to drop out now and let someone run who can beat trump. At this point, almost anyone else would be good.

Biden's ego is going to get us trump. Just like Hilary's did

@freemo 2 whole seconds?? At that point just take a picture, it'll last longer :P

The general rule is "If the amount of time you're looking would damage your retinas from looking at the sun at noon during summer, it's too long of a glance". There is a difference between "noticing", "looking", "staring", and 2 solid seconds is straddling the line of the latter two, and the first is universally fine, but that's like 0.5-0.75 seconds.

As an aside, nearly all (more on this below) women know what they're signing up for when the go out dressed a certain way, so don't ask, don't stare, but a passing glance, even if she notices, is likely acceptable, though this depends on the woman and her understanding of male psychology as a function of her dressing habits.

I had to have this conversation with my (then girlfriend) wife about how she was drawing attention to herself with her very tight fitting crop-tops and short shorts. Her mom did some strange parenting to her daughters, so my wife didn't know until I spelled it out and then she was mortified at how men were looking at her. She just thought they were "being friendly" 🤦‍♂️

I think I'm gonna go with a #space / #alien planet/world theme for my MMO

There are too many jungle ones already and this way I can mess around with awesome monster enenies later 😀

Either some of the fixes I did yesterday wound up addressing the latency problem we had, or it was intermitten. But everything has been operating fine for the last 12 hours or so. I will continue to monitor the situation but for now everything is in the green on #QOTO

Assuming no more problems trigger we and the team are continuing on building our beta environment which will enable for smooth update role outs int he near future. We have about 5 updates we developed in house we want to apply in the near future.

@QOTO Please be informed that we appreciate all of your effort.
Keeping the (qoto)server up and running is a work of love and dedication. I have to commend you on that. Thank you for your hard work. 🙏

One problem fixed, another crops up...

So while that last fix did make things better, there seems to be a bit of lingering slowness for a few things, but things are mostly working.

I worked all day(and its midnight now) to bring up some very extensive monitoring tools for the team for us to help diagnose the issue.

I will work through the weekend to help improve things further, though I may need to get some sleep before I can fully resolve this. At least things are working other than a slight bit of lag. I will keep everyone on #QOTO updated.

Toxic Admins of Fediverse instances can cause more problematic situations and insult people with their ignorances, paranoia or short replies.

For example: Accusing my innocent attempts too early of xyz or too wildly reacting without much reasoning to back it up.

I mean WFT sometimes - I wonder how they do so well with other people but have to conclude it's like they think they know others or profile seems to fit better (or others don't ask questions AND lack any depth and so don't bother anyone).

People trust maybe the meme and non-serious type things from others. So strange. Not fun perhaps so it's more the comedy cathartic stuff with their computer-only life style.

When support is not just computers or money, and more talking to people then what people are looking for will happen more often (for them and what they say they want, not just me).

And probably running a tight instance (kinda sole authority and captain) means you can get away with it. So being good in that way helps but maybe more 'benevolent dictator' style if not feeling the need to interact with others though I only contact those that are that good and for the good - so it's a constant awakening of how much further we have to go to accept other people in whatever strangeness (friend you haven't met yet) from Fedi (which I think is measurably much safer >70-99% are pure gold people) and not something we can't see from posts and interactions.

Actually staying constructive or just progressive-neutral would be better, instead of over-exposing their fears (feeding it too to others) and suppressing people while wasting their own time replying (and sometimes claiming their busy to reply) while a bunch of memes are spread and real talk not read - #QOTO is not included in this but support has to become more human and trusting profiles can be a start to snowball trust - or just not over-think things).

THAT LAST SENTENCE IS ENOUGH

MORE OF THE SAME BELOW
FOR EXAMPLE...

@eriner who I respect(ed - (now less) but smelled me as a corporate journalist somehow from contacting him just because of some yes / no questions and even explaining... but will not even read 1 paragraph of my profile (even if it's a wall of text) to find about more about me. Just reading a bit would do to answer his question / doubts
or... JUST NOT BE THE WAY THINGS START AND END!.

It stops conversation dead after leaving it VERY unjust / negative experience. I really have to stop the injustice / hate filled feeling in it's place or even just medium insult after hopes of 'finding a good person' again go down the toilet 🚽 and avoid thinking too much about forcibly getting some respect or progress. It is hard when people don't play fair / nice.

Anyway I'm sure this is how enemies are created so mention it. If it was face to face maybe they wouldn't get away with it so easily (negativity can be done too easily). It's definitely not all about me here, after our own admin sets good example, and I might not even have to be in the equation so heavily or at all to respond practically or without such paranoia - Am I going to tell you I'm a corporate journalist anyway Eric?
So a lot of stuff is being sent out already so it's strange to ask or doubt AND broadcast you're whole life and then not even accept the answer from the good / non-harmfully intentioned guys 🤣 🤣 or even check the obvious existing content on profiles as I've been invested in for long time _0_🖕 - but really the quality of person today is low - don't expect admins to be otherwise. While do keep trying but we do have to solve working together.
