Jesus is the mascot, Paul is the quarterback, head coach, and general manager.

Most Christians actually worship Paul.

Good

Ooh then have someone describe OCD symptoms and it gets really fun

Obviously

Also entirely possible.

I knew it would make you mad but I did it anyway.

I don’t think you have the guts to do anything about it either, vibe coder.

He might have thought you were romantically interested in him, wasn’t interested, and didn’t know how to communicate that without being worried he might offend you.

There’s this concept of a relationship escalator and everybody rightly shits on how much it fucks things up on the back end of erotic relationships.

But in pretty much every kind of new relationship, whether it’s business, friendship, family, or romance, people expect to increase their commitments gradually, in coordination with the other person.

Yes, this means that most people looking to make new friends and lovers expect you to act a little less excited about getting to know them than you actually are. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It seemed like the llm had decided it was in a brat scene and was trying to call down the thunder.

He shredded Tim Walz in the VP debate. Was not even close.

Agreed.

Thanks for the exemplary embodiment of mastodon’s attitude toward alt text.

Bluesky was built to be a Valley bigotfest and data vampire from the very beginning.

The lead dev of mastodon is kind of a jerk sometimes, but he doesn’t run the instances.

I’m pretty certain that my Masto home instance isn’t going to turn into corporate trash because the the people running it have been running queer servers for decades and are community-funded.

And suppose mastodon does turn into shit? My home instance also supports other fedi protocols.

Companies founded by Jack Dorsey or taking VC money, though? Guaranteed hellsite, just a matter of time.

Hell you don’t even have to be funny on mastodon.

What we ARE picky about is posting images without descriptive text or asking for a volunteer caption.

Well, you can fuck off Dean Cain.

Superman is an assimilated Jewish diaspora immigrant.

“Name?”

“Kal-El”

“Clark Kent, got it.”

She knew exactly what she was going to be defending. She used all the code words and dog whistles from the start.

Her presence on a project will raise my eyebrows.

So I’m assuming she will head to Mozilla or Ubuntu.

Fucking A

Sure.

I totally agree that absolutely anybody with current training in anything would have made me pay dearly for my stupidity.

However, because I’m a random American who played football, I was the one with the scintilla more experience, and I got to keep my teeth.

The American dudes who played sports in high school and are now in their 20s and 30s haven’t had their health collapse yet.

European cops are way more intimidating than American cops, by and large. I’m not trying to be jingoistic, I’m just saying that running after someone who is carrying something is the version of the national sport the vast majority of us actually play.

This isn’t about standing up and doing axe kicks and shit, this is about chasing somebody down and getting the ball back from them.

I’ve personally chased somebody down who assumed they could outrun me because I was fat, ten years after the last time I played gridiron.

My knees were wobbly and I was a little lightheaded afterward, but it’s the one athletic ability your stereotypical dumbass American will have. We’ll literally break our own ankle trying to do a stepover. Or maybe that’s just me. 😄

In São Paulo it was a little mini-assault.

You’d get shoved from behind, maybe bumped into from the side, while yet another guy is actually taking your shit. Extra credit if you’re at a curb so you stumble.

Then everybody splits, your instinct is to turn around to see the guy who shoved you, by the time you’ve done that and realized what happened, your shit is goooone.

What are they doing in Paris that the mark has a chance to grab them? I guess if you’re in a reasonably athletic pack of 4-5, but at that point surely there are easier targets?

I suppose people who don’t watch American sports don’t appreciate that there are many obese Americans who can still run 40 yards in six seconds and expertly smash you into the ground when they get there.
