Today is not a good day, so I'm eating a chocolate bar for lunch. It helps a little.
Lately I've been in a position of Imparting Sage Wisdom To The Younguns', and it's incredibly weird being reminded I was a fuckin' idiot of a 20 year old.

It's unexpectedly tiring to constantly come up with new #DnD descriptions of "you hit the thing and do damage."

Pillars of Eternity 2 comes out in about an hour. I'm pretty excited, to put it mildly.
Hey folks just wanna say that studies show that Airbnb is contributing to rising rents in multiple major cities, so please don't use it.
Well, I'm now caught up (finally) with #criticalrole thanks to being stuck in bed. Unfortunately that means I need to find something to watch until Pillars 2 comes out on Tuesday.
Maybe D20 Babes (because Rat Queens yessssss) or Friends at the Table? Or I could finally catch back up on the new #AdventureZone arcs.
not everyone likes or plays games for competition or a challenge.
that’s why there are so many different types of games. that’s also why difficulty levels exist. and why cheats and god mode are accessible to players.
stop forcing your ideals on other people. it’s just a game. let people play.

today in things I don't have the coffee/fucks for this morning: explaining to fragile cis people why "cis gender" is not an insult
This morning, I am being prevented from grabbing coffee by an extra snuggly cat.
Someone send help. Or don't, she's purring really loud and it's super cute.
abuse/harassment/yucky stuff no one wants to read about Show more
So far the best part of wrecking my back is that my dog and cat are insistent on being near/guarding me, with extra cuddles. It's very heartwarming.
It's actively depressing to me how interchangable so many men seem to be.
I suddenly realized it after seeing "let me be that guy" and "well, actually" and "libertarian" for the nth time, that there's this weird desire by (mostly white dudes) to be a Social Philosophy Messiah. Except they're just repeating the same shit they read off some Reddit comment thread.
This is aside from dating teh men, which is a garbage fire of misogynists in C minor.
Amazon threatens to suspend Signal's AWS account over censorship circumvention https://signal.org/blog/looking-back-on-the-front/
Amazon and Google are both coming out opposed to people using their services for domain fronting, to circumvent censorship.
Note that Signal is actively blocked in Egypt, Oman, UAE, and Iran. So, that sucks.
I feel bad that we as Tusky were not prepared to take new users. We basically have no onboarding flow because we've never expected people to join mastodon through us. People are used to do everything though the apps, though.
Decade of training people to search things through app stores has huge effect. That's going to be a problem for PWAs too.
That's a big problem for free software.

I am still bitter that all the nice phone case options are iPhone only.
