Just a fun-lovin' guy lookin' for fun-lovin' friends!
@derwinmcgeary Give us a couple of years to correct last November and make our old people politically irrelevant
He was totes happy about fascist defeat in France though! 😁
Spent some of the night talking to a Norwegian dude, older gentleman, who seemed pretty happy with the idea of Scotland as part of a Scandic alliance. Not necessarily EU though.
I could be down with that. EU is great, but it's not the only way to be part of a European alliance. The important thing is to work together internationally and for the good of the population nationally.
The rest is details.
Good deal, France. Congrats to all our French fellow Mastodonians.
Two week notice dropped. Everyone gas been super nice. Ain't that always the way it is?
@jason We have some designated trout streams around where I live, but they are too choked for fly fishing. I'm going to try the "put a worm in the stream and let the trout grab it" technique.
@jason Yeah, I've gotten progressively more miserable since being transferred to that place in December.
@jason Also, excited to go fishing on the odd Sunday night again.
@jason Yes. I don't have a permanent job lined up right yet, but I've got a seasonal. So, yes. Plus, more time to work on building up my freelance writing side.
I am putting in my two week notice at my shitty, shitty day job today.
Today at the garden ... volunteer squash.
@shellkr Social media, dude. Social media.
@paco Yes, at some point users have a responsibility for what shows up in their feed. That doesn't excuse harassment and/or people making shitty, inappropriate comments. And, if you witness that happening as an individual, you have an obligation to step in on the victim's behalf. But, policing that doesn't rate setting up a self-appointed council of behavior police to issue edicts about who is okay and who isn't.
@shellkr I think that's overthinking this whole social media thing. I think the whole UN analogy supposes that some people are natural authorities on how people are to behave when it's really just a push for conformity.
@Isotopp The remedy today is that individual network mods enforce their own rules and individual users get used to blocking people they don't like.
@shellkr Or, since, one instance can't invade and conquer another instance, just everyone stick to their own rules.
@Frankenbeans Yeah. I seriously don't get it. Block people/instances you don't like. I thought that was the entire point. We aren't all the same. We're not all gonna agree. We're gonna federate. Whole dumpster fires can be blocked off or not. But we don't have to all live in the same dumpster fire.
@Frankenbeans They just want to be the ones to define the central code of conduct.
