@Co Only if you are a woman :)
The #Primus version of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" is and always will be the best version. Prove me wrong.
Personally I feel handiness is a choice a person should be treated by whatever hand they wish to identify with. Even if you convert later in life and are trans-handed you deserve the same respect.
I really wouldnt know if people who are right are treated any differently. I've never been anything other than right so I dont know how I would be treated if I werent.
I'm sharing my recent Krita brushes, I hope you'll like them!

@davidrevoy Thank you for this. I just downloaded krita for my laptop which has a digitizer. I might need to snatch these!
@Oblivia good morning fren hope your doing well.
A demo I did a while back showing what it looks like when I write in Copperplate Calligraphy form.
@freemo @icedquinn Another plot twist:: misinformation about rods go viral, making people believe that they're divine gifts from God that will teleport you to heaven once it hits you.
An expensive religion is made based on people praying that giant metal rods will fall on them from space.
That is very true. In fact I tend to have such an aversion to group think if I find the masses are starting to say or support something I have in the past said or support I start to doubt my own assertions and reevaluate.
So yea its fairly rare for me to post a controversial meme that is being posted en masse (though i have been guilty of it at times).
@icedquinn Plot twist, rich people find a way to harvest the energy of the tungsten rod and sell it back to the grid to make even more money.
Ohhh counterpoints was mirroring to it.
What i want to know is how are all you guys getting locked out of twitter and I am not. My account here mirrors **everything** I post to twitter. I also have over 1K followers on twitter (maybe 2K by now)... I have said some brutally awful things about Biden and have never been locked or reprimanded by twitter even once!
What am I even doing different I dont get it.
Yea that is a bit sleezy I must say.. its like saying "we will only let you in if you promise to apologize" :) lol what are we toddlers?
Wait I thought you **run** counter.fedi.live.... how did you get locked out?
What a horrific excuse to lock a twitter account... Dont get me wrong i do disagree with the posters stance on some level. But hardly reason to silence someone.
@Pat ahh ok :)
@Pat satire aside, what is it that you disagree with... If anything what i just saw int he video seems like something you'd get behind (the idea that we need good vaccine coverage)
All else aside, the people on QOTO are STEM professionals. We come here because we expect people to have intelligent mature debates with a scientific mind. That means studies and peer reviews, even when controversial, are how we debate fringe ideas more or less.
The last thing anyone on this server wants is an endless stream of conspiracy theories that claim the entire scientific community is wrong and then spew a bunch of "facts" that are easily debunked by even high school level understanding of statistics (as we covered with your earlier mention of a 60% figure). The issue isnt that you dont know the statistics, but rather that you didnt state your case from a perspective of learning, you stated it as if it was some sort of evidence.
Its really the same reason a flat-earther has no place here. Its not their views, its the fact that a flat-earther is more anti-STEM than a part of STEM.
Personally I dont know why you would want to be part of the QOTO community when your whole focus right now seems to be some notion of a massive STEM conspiracy...
So some friends and I were talking about #StarTrek and I ended up finding out via Wikipedia that there's an #espresso machine on the #ISS. Its official brand name is ISSpresso.
The machine's delivery was announced by a real astronaut, Samantha Cristoforetti, dressed in a Starfleet uniform, tweeting out "There's coffee in that nebula," a quote from Captain Janeway from Voyager.
