tbh I think my brain hit the emergency shutoff on most of my emotions sometime in my early 20s and now I just operate entirely within the small range left over.

I haven't really used "meta" platforms in over a decade—are their users really not willing or able to just copy & paste a URL?

Doesn't surprise me at all tbh. Already moved to a fork as I was tired of turning off the stupid shit mozilla put in firefox.

Eh, if not buying a video game is a battle then that is a battle one can fight on pretty much infinite fronts.

My favourite part was how he doesn't really seem to think it's improving things, they're just doing it anyway lol.

But whatever, I haven't finished a Larian game since D:OS, I probably wasn't gonna buy more regardless.

huh, could be. I only found out by shaving my head so I never had to do more than wait a while.

Yeah but you do end up with more water running down in your face then, so at least short hair is preferable to redirect it.

Unless it's different in your own replies (idk why it would be?) you can still scroll down and unhide replies by accounts you've muted.

It keeps them and mentions of them out of feeds though so I mute people if I don't want to prevent all communication but don't want to see their posts either.

The world would be a very different place if we held people to higher standards in order to be entrusted with power, rather than affording them more leeway because they have power.

I guess if you hang up tatami on the wall...

what... are they just rolling that out everywhere now?

the day the VPN doesn't make it piss off anymore, I'm just not gonna log in anymore.

A lot of the replies here sound like they're mistaking it for something else tbh. Maybe because it looks vaguely like a puma?

Caracals get up to like 20kg and hunt small animals. If somehow you got one to kill you then you might well be the first person to ever do that.

Bullies are cowards. He'd never pick on someone who might pick back.

Aaron reminds me of being on small forums where the owner's friend gets given a mod role and goes full on Lawful Evil overnight. Apparently those 15-19 yr olds I didn't even trust to run small rp groups back in the early 2000s should have failed upward into corpo "trust and safety" positions.

kind of tangential to this but I still think of brown/sepia as inherently dirty because it tended to show up in a lot of old run down 70s and 80s stuff lol

I always expect it to smell like 8 years of stale tobacco.

which also makes me think it might just be a reaction to all of that, and will probably cycle back around at some point. In the 90s having a lot of muted, pale colours seemed popular with grandparents. So maybe that drove people to the bright colours which drove them back to muted ones.

tbh I don't mind it too much because for me growing up high saturation was mostly something I associated with an abundance of low quality tacky junk. Every plastic toy and junk food wrapper and ad and item of clothing had colours that would make an animal think it had 13 different sorts of venom.
