  i was flabbergasted when i first heard americans have security & armed guards at schools. the closest to that any of the schools i went to had was cameras watching the doors and overweight PE teachers

  “stan” to mean “obsessive fan” hasn’t entered the vernacular usage of the internet too long ago. the meaning of words change, langauges are fluid, the living almost entity of a language does not care you dislike how the word is used, if it catches on it’ll keep happening until you accept it or grow numb

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit lost it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  oh we’re like half a step away from that. hasn’t the CEO of openAI recently started to lose his mind? apprently, he was asking his AI about government secrets or other conspiracy shit and the AI, lacking actual government secrets, dished him out SCP foundation creepypasta presented as facts, and he thought the AI has trascended something and now knows everything

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mandatory self-reflection hours⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  langauge can mean whatever we want, stan wasn’t even a word 10 years ago

  let’s go with stAIn then

  lmao very fitting because she was referred to as “13” for most of the show, i think her real name was Remy? she had Huntingtons

  coffeine makes me sleepy so energy drinks only give me placebo and it doesn’t matter that coffeine barely affects me, could not care less about the caffeine, but

  one can usually has an entire day’s maxiumum amount of sugar for an adult in it, that is an insane amout to drinking in an hour or so. and that’s not to even mention that whatever they put in them seems to enjoy making kidney stones!

  those things should not be a regular part of anyone’s diet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An alien invasion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  this will sadly still create power vacuums that the first moron who thirsts for power would leap at :(

  just killing isn’t the solution, we need an already oiled up machine ready to take that space the instant they’re gone, you’d have maybe a week to figure all things out before people start grumbling about how things were better duing [regime] because at least they knew how to handle power

  oh dang i misread the prompt. hmmm, well, if i can understand Davinci’s Italian then him, if not, then Skłodowska-Curie. though we have many Davinci’s journals time is time, things get misplaced, lost, forgotten, i’d love to know if he’s written something nobody’s ever found. Skłodowska-Curie as amazing as she is has written down all of her work, no mystery there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's hear it, little lemmings.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Davinci, Einstein, and Skłodowska-Curie

  i want to have a walk with Davinci and see how he sees the world

  i want to vibe with Einstein and see how well we click (i think he’d be a good friend)

  and i want to chillout with Skłodowka-Curie and chat in Polish about stuff

  i like science, but i’m nowhere near a level where i could make a conversation about their passions they’d find interesting, so i’m happy to listen and see their mind work

  there’s 11 pages of results if you search “gun” through Modrinth, you’re absolutely correct

  the marketplace is “curated” mods, if the guy wants to make paid mods that go against the “curation” he’s gotta make a patreon or something, and handle his own marketing for it

  and linguists will be first to tell you that languages are living, fluid, and made up for the purpose of communication

  and yet people started getting mad at the mere concept of pronouns

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah i’m not the biggest fan of the seasons made by americans, they feel strangely hollow to me most of the time. the first two seasons has all my favourite episodes, and by favourite i mean the ones that made me weep for the future

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  some episodes of Black Mirror struck terror into my heart like no other. They were grim warmings for the possible future masquerading as fiction, as grim warnings often do. Though what the show could not forsee was how fast it would come true. And it could not forsee how wide a scale would be affected, those were singular stories from those worlds, the effect of the technology showcased on the lives of a few, a pinhole view into the dystopia

  if you haven’t already, watch the episode Be Right Back. you better start believing in sci-fi dystopias, we’re in one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marie Curie⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  hi hello it’s me, part of the horde, a polish person has been mentioned so we need to do the ritual:

  POLSKA MOUNTAIN RAAAAA 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🦅🔥

  (also folks, don’t forget to include her Polish surname there as well! It’s Maria Skłodowska-Curie. when she was alive Poland wasn’t recognised as a nation, it wasn’t even on the maps for most of her life, so her choice to keep her polish name after marriage is a deliberate action to honour her Polish heritage and keep the national spirit of Poland strong despite there being no official country Poles could call home at the time)

  which is doubly so sad because rats don’t even live that long :( if an experiment lasts 1,5 years an average rat will only live for 6 more months. a rat retirement home wouldn’t even be a big commitment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐀🔥🔥🔥⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  in the past i thought eating spicy food made me look cool and manly, but then i realised i’m missing out on the flavour of foods and understood i was being silly. so now i mostly stick to mild foods, with the occasional spicy food for varity’s sake but only if i can actually taste the flavour of said food through the spice

  but that’s just me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dirt Man⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i don’t know if it was intentional, but one of Expedition 33’s endings gave me vibes of that story

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dirt Man⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i recently read through the series and now i only have the last short story left– and i don’t want to finish it becuase then it’ll be over :(

  so few authors manage to make me sad this way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did you ever use your Toe to turn one of these on or off?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i used to but then i was told that it’s unhealthy for the system so i shut off from the OS side now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨change_org⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  i think there are at least two things at play here

  1. can i do something about this?

  2. does it affect me?

  if the answer is “no” to both then focusing on that just brings misery about some bad thing happening somewhere, not the best idea mental health wise. if the answer is “yes” to both then you’ll see plenty of action.

  if we have yes for change, but no for being affected then it’s up for the good heart (and time and money) of any individual to make a choice to help. and if we have no can’t change, but yes it affects me, then we have depression.

  NSFW bans affect everyone using the internet, and they’re created purely on moral grounds, so your voice is just as loud as every other voice. if enough people complain, maybe it won’t change anyone’s opinion, but the likelihood that those in charge just give in goes up, it boils down to which side complains louder pretty much

  wars, misery, mistreatment, hate, bigotry, clearly have gone well past the “let’s sit down and talk about if this is the best way forward for us, and if you disagree with the majority opinion we will be very annoying”, there’s just– not much even combined voices of millions can do here, as evident by the world around us

  so in my conclusion - people are more likely to fight when they have some reasonable chance to win said fight. we have in the past successfully made companies undo things we didn’t like, we complained, and we got what we wanted. but how many wars have we stopped this way?
