just me
goodness how i despise power tripping moderators.
i’ve been a mod in one pretty large and active online community and somehow power has never gotten into my head, but i’ve seen so many completely trip out over the smallest non-issues, fucking bizarre
& “apple” used to be a generic term for fruit
iirc an “apple” in both French and English used to just be any fruit. And over time it shifted to mean just the most common one
and you know the french, always very poetic, of course they’ll call a potato a fruit of dirt
I think patreon recently add an option for creators to make a free tier. Which on one hand could work, but on the other - we’d be constantly bombarded with “to see this video upgrade to the $10 or more tier” which would personally bum me out
let’s make it a drinking game! Every time you hear your aunt from across the table say that global warming is fake - take a shot!
eh, on the off chance they aren’t, why not. I don’t see those ads anyway and I do enjoy being a nuisance, even if a minor one
writers of black mirror’s 15 million merits laughing crying maniacally in the distance
you’ll enjoy a fun browser addon then! - adnauseum

that’s a very grim way of looking at goodness. Of course doing things you believe are making a positive change makes you feel good, of course helping your community makes you feel good, and it does feel nice to be recognised and known as a good person.
It’s a strange ambient idea in our society, that to be truly good you must suffer, and never find joy in the good things you do. Not to turn conspiratorial, but to me it sounds like a cope from actually selfish people who look at people who do nice things and think to themselves “they’re only doing it to be popular and feel good about themselves, why else would anyone do anything”
with that camera lense it better be capybaras that are about to fuck or the camerman’s getting mauled
at least welsh and polish actually read the letters that we write down, unlike some languages
I’ll take 8pm vacuuming over 8am vacuuming any day
istg i have to write those words into every reply i give. Do people even read the words i write? Can they read? Should i give up?
fuck it’s so hard to resist the urge to mimic (though probably poorly) the writing style of the book i’m currently reading shakes fist at neuroplasticity
do not right click inspect element on the paywall window and then delete the code & re-enable scrolling (i always forget how to, but don’t google it)
the downside is that sometimes half the article is neutered anyway
