In the “about” page linked at the bottom of the instance there is a section for “Moderated Servers” which may have a list of blocked and limited servers, along with reasoning.

Just as a heads up: .art also blocks a lot of the pro-trans and/or furry instances as well.

Could an ant sized lion actually hurt you? Their teeth are built to wrap around and grip thinner pieces of the body. If they are shrunk down, I don’t know how efficiently they could work their way through skin. It’d be like trying to bite a wall or something.

Anything involving safety.

As an example: Phone or laptop batteries.

Out of interest, why is being into computers/coding/linux/etc. important to you in a partner? Would finding a partner with different interests but an agreeable personality be that big a problem?

Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. Maybe you’re neurodivergent, maybe you’re not. The question I think that’s worth asking is “does it matter?” If it turned out that what you are going through happens to maybe 25% of the population (as I think is likely), will that change how you live your life?

I can understand feeling frustrated about being bad at things at first; I have the same issue. What partially worked for me is internalising that you’re going to be bad at something for a while before being good. It’s a tough lesson to learn and accept, but it’s important. Enjoy messing about. Go into things with the knowledge that you’re just practising and don’t put pressure on yourself to be good.

And fwiw, a lot of people fail driving tests on their first try. Don’t give up just because you failed once.

I know it’s probably too on brand, but maybe some kind of monstrous wolf hell beast thing. Maybe with a skull as a head and dripping flesh.

If I’m going to be a mindless killing machine, may as well have some fun with it. Better than being a slow shambling skeleton or zombie at any rate.

Bought a Steam Deck during a fit of depression despite not traveling much and having a full gamer PC.

Turns out it’s really nice for the few times I do travel (especially on long train rides) and when laying in bed after just waking up.

I use duckduckgo.

I want “duck it” to become a thing.

What do you consider “politics”? Trying to reject people’s way of life and reduce their agency under the guise of “politics” is a common dogwhistle.

Feeling spikes of being overwhelmed, anxious about the future, feeling bad about ideological clashes with a friend and trying to shake off the bad bedrot habit I’ve picked up. So just the normal.

Still, over the last few months I’ve pushed myself to do things I’ve not done before. So that’s good.

… Also, my work has announced massive cuts, but not how it’s going to affect us. I should probably worry about that. :D

Despite how you feel and what experts and friends tell you, you might be seriously struggling with mental health. One stiff breeze and the stack of cards comes tumbling down.

I can’t believe a woman that’s competing in the world’s biggest sporting event has traits that make her better at sports. /s

All women produce testosterone. Some more, some less. It’s just the genetic lottery.

Honestly the Steam Deck has made me realise just his much missed potential and poor design decisions the Switch had. Not to mention Nintendo being a scummy company…

So yeah, my Steam Deck has basically replaced the Switch for me.

Ah, right. My bad. For some reason my head was stuck on those solar roadway thingies.

Solar panels are very fragile; the weight of a car driving over them every day would cause them to break really quickly, not too mention the layer of rubber and dirt that will accumulate on them. I imagine the cost of installing and replacing them is also much higher than laying down a regular road surfice.

If they wanted to invest heavily in solar panels, why wouldn’t they just either put them on top of the shop building itself, or build a lightweight roof over the parking lot and put them on that?

So I can definitely imagine amicable breakups where there is still sexual contact (e.g. you don’t get along living together, but you’re both fine being fwb).

But if the first time you’re thinking about it is when you’re drunk, that’s not be a good sign. Sleep on it, then tomorrow think about what you want the “relationship” to look like going forward. If they’re likely to feel the same way (as a person that lives inside your computer, I don’t know them), you can ask them with a clear head (and not in a flirty way). Just respect their answer and don’t be a creep if they say no.

I’ve not been following the Ukrainian war recently, but wouldn’t the US surrendering Ukraine result in the erasure and eradication of Ukrainian culture. Which would likely result in more deaths than the war itself?

I’m not sure, but I think it makes it very unlikely he’ll become president.

Hope that important infrastructure like payment methods and social media end up heading to Europe. Maybe, if I can, let a particular friend from the States seek asylum and live with me.
