@johnrandom@cryptids.online Karl can't help how his eyes are, the orb.

@johnrandom@cryptids.online Thank you, the orb, I'll try to be there for you going forward.

@johnrandom@cryptids.online In my defense we've only known each other through silly internet conversations over the period of a couple of months. :(

Also, I'm sorry.

@Trillenial it is terrifying to think about java servlets with intellect and the ability to learn.

@peterdrake Were they all your teeth, though? Or was it like you just grabbed a few loose teeth on the way out?

@readytherhinos @Ophillous you can only sell the insides. The skin isn't stretchy enough to cover the genitals of serial killers, and isn't strong enough to hold liquids.

@dantheclamman Yeah, the one local to me (Again, in Tel Aviv) also has frozen shrimp (Both cooked and uncooked) pretty much all the time. They do not, however, have clams that I am aware of.

With all the rain and chill in the air I was reaaaallly wanting some New England style clam chowder.

@brainblasted They're both fantastic bands! You might also want to check out Kudasaibeats if you haven't. He's also that sort of lofi kind of loveliness that's great to just have on.

@brainblasted In love with a ghost is fantastic. Also Snail's House, they've worked together.

@dantheclamman Oh, bacon is easy. Go to the russian stores. It's not the same as US or English cuts, but it is bacon and it is good.

@dantheclamman What I'm trying to say is that I'm craving clam chowder and it's hard to find here in Tel Aviv. :P

@dantheclamman How many of those PDFs contain Clam Chowder recipes?

@arteteco 'I crave star damage' is one of my new go-to phrases, too. :D

@arteteco I keep them on my phone. It is completely random and I post whatever I think might bring people a smile!

@arteteco
For you.

@arteteco Yeah dude, maybe I just walked down the wrong path or something.

Truthfully, the majority of my interactions are quite nice. But, damn, I had some really toxic encounters that were just way beyond appropriate.

@tjemni I use Discord to speak to Specific People that I game with online, so it's more real-time chat between people I actually know for my use case. These are people I roleplay with via TelNet servers/Mush/Mux/Mu* worlds.

Before Mastodon I was never active on Facebook, or twitter- despite having accounts. I still have a FB account that is specifically to receive pictures of my niece and nephew from my sister. I don't use it for anything else.

I sometimes look at forums, and am a member of some small forums- but all of that feels less toxic than what I've gotten the last two weeks on Mastodon. I'm seeing some of the dark-side of social media, and I really don't like it.

It's as ugly as any other kind of hate I've experienced, and it comes from so many directions. It's really very confusing to me- I don't understand how so many people are so angry that they lash out at anyone who talks to them that isn't part of their 'social bubble'.

I'm not about to lash out at anyone, but I'll probably be less interested in posting in other communities going forward. #QOTO is good for me. I like the people here and I like the conversations I've had, regardless of opinions. We've got a mostly good crowd here, imho.
