Awww, poor baby has had his fee fees hurt.

Caring face not found.

Sam and Dean using Holy Church flavoured Gatorade to defeat evil, then drinking the rest to recover their lost electrolytes…

Where I am, they won’t give you the vaccine until 50, unless there are good reasons for it.

Having shingles at 37 wasn’t a good enough reason, and now (over 50) I have to argue with my GP that I am since I am immune compromised don’t want it a second time.

I would certainly check one out. Federated instances are a good start, being able to curate my own feeds and interests (tags being hijacked is a PITA) but I hold concern of the eventual crap creep.

I think I am in my Old Person Yells At Internet era.

It’s not virtue signalling if you truly mean it.

Our feeds should be our own.

I quit Crackbook a decade ago over the algorithm forcing shit at me I had no interest in.

That’s when I learned what a dark pattern was. I started seeing it pop up nearly everywhere that used algorithms.

Did the same with Twatter a few years ago. Again, I was over being forced to see shit I had zero interest in. This time I removed my footprint, leaving a handful of posts.

No one noticed either time I’d left. (No one ever does. That’s a whole other rant about the state of anti social media.)

Never used Threads. Won’t even click on the ones that are shoved at me through Insta.

Kept Insta for patterns and recipes, and over time I’ve stopped engaging on the platform. It’s just as bad as the others for the algorithm and ads. Staying is on me, I know. Sunk cost fallacy or whatever. I didn’t want to lose my collection of patterns that exist no where else.

I started the process of removing what little remains of my presence on IG. Discovered I’m not allowed to remove likes ‘to protect the community’. Deleting my own content bugs out often. Removing saved bookmarks bugs out often. No way to keep the videos I refer to often to make things.

Damned straight I mean it when I say I will cease using Meta products. I am tired of being told how to use something, or how I should think and what I should believe.

Zuck can fuck all the way off.

Not too many games, but I played the hell out of a few. (So glad there isn’t an total hours played stat)

Would have more dwarf, but the guy I was playing with decided he was too good to play with me, and I got bored playing solo.

LOL. I found it offensive when it first aired. LTTP millenials.

We have the Poangs as well, and I can’t recline in them. The only comfortable position is to rip the cushion out and put it on the floor, and sit on the floor. >.<

I have the seatbelt cutting my neck problem too - and I’m not exactly short. :/

Too right. Hawai’i is far above him.

I should have been more detailed in my criteria. Uninhabited, no vegetation, maybe even only an inch above sea level.

I do like the raft idea. Drop him off with the flat pack, he can assemble it himself.

We don’t want him. Surely there’s an island in the middle of the ocean he can be sent.

And only pulled after some pearl clutching nanny noticed and decided to point out the original ruling.

Not the first time someone had a dummy spit over a game that is less problematic than the average M rated movie…

I have so far managed to avoid threads, but Insta is filled with ‘Comment forcedengagement to get the pattern/recipie/cureforthecommon cold’ or stolen videos with facts about some shitty car.

I block them, but that appears to count as interest, so I end up with more of that shit shoved at me.

I’m only there because the crafters I want to see are there, and none of them want to join anything federated. :(

I have ended every session of Sea of Thieves by setting my ship on fire.

I still feel bad for the two guys who were laughing as my ship burned (while on my ship) when the gunpowder kegs exploded and killed us all.

But only a little bad. They knew things would explode eventually, I was carrying a keg of gunpowder, and my ship was on fire!

We’ve been using it since it came available to test, and is such a lovely change from before. The check out system is so much cleaner than the old locked out of account while someone in the family is playing.

Looks good!

I had the Odyssey (with overlays). Regret giving it to a collector before I moved continents, I’d love to get it hooked up and working!

<insert flat joke here>

Again?

Right up there with the people who ignore me, leave me alone or exclude me when I’m down. I’m depressed because I’m being excluded and feel isolated, jackasses.

“Just show up and do the thing, you’re always welcome!” (Ever tried just showing up when you’ve been removed from being told where the weekly thing even is and no one answers when asked?)

The amount of oblivious hypocrisy I’ve run into while navigating the deep blue is astounding.
