I find there is a tragic lack of transgendercirclejerk here

Wouldn't say it was stupid in that it was the result of me doing anything stupid, but it definitely felt pretty stupid when I managed to get myself a 4 inch splinter from a wooden guardrail fully embedded in my leg in a hospital parking lot of all places. The best part was, because I was just a kid, and the hospital didn't treat children, we had to drive to an entirely different hospital because of it.

Yeah they can, so my guess would be they just don't check everything that shows up (at least if it's not at the top) and hopefully once this comes to their attention it'll be promptly removed

I'm definitely not against it either necessarily, but there have definitely been some rather concerning cases in Canada recently

I feel like Twitter is just one of those sites where it's best consumed filtered through other people posting the good bits elsewhere

Strongly agree. Mastodon is alright and I use it a little, but the twitter-type format never really worked for me. I feel like when I have to follow individual people I usually end up either following no one or being forced to follow people who post things that interest me sometimes but a lot of the time post things that really don't. Following particular topics or threads just seems much more natural to me; I can look at exactly what interests me and nothing more.

Does that really make it totally apolitical though?. Like obviously it's not inherently attached to a wide reaching political ideology, but it still is political in the same way that any free software is kind of political.

Don't listen to anything on my phone but definitely agreed, I much prefer having the songs on my computer and using ncmpcpp to play them (and with a cool visualiser too).

I know it had its issues but I was pretty sad that the LG G5 sort of compromise where you got the removable battery while still not "looking cheap" never really went anyway.

Devs don't get paid less just because I pirated a game I would never have bought otherwise

Phone bad.

Like they're objectively pretty useful but I find the experience of using one to just kinda suck and I avoid it as much as I can. I'd much much rather use a laptop or ideally my desktop if that's at all possible. No idea how some people manage so much time using their phones

I feel like if you want to boycott a game but really can't resist the urge to play it the least you could do is just pirate it instead of buying it
