I've been trying to get my most favorite person in the world (my closest friend) to join QOTO.. I think I might have convinced her :)

I can't stand Twitter these days, and while I have strong political views I'm not gonna waste energy in shouting matches. I'm here for STEM, and cool people. Which is everyone on this platform.

to all our new users, if you havent already read out about page to see several of the additional free services we offer. Everyone is welcome to use them and we can offer some pretty generous quotas in terms of space (next cloud) or processing power (gitlab CI)

@freemo, I had a little conversation with a USAmerican who I (still) believe to be sort of a role model for intelligent online conversation and a leading authority about Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act,
that left me firmly convinced that The Medium Is The Message,
i.e., that the social dynamics of conversations in Social Media make even the best of us overlook the most obvious facts in all the incessant partisan bickering.

We got into a bit of a dispute about the proper context of Bret Stephens's New York Times OpEd article,
80 years after 1 September 1939.
At some point the USAmerican got annoyed and blocked me,
which prompted me to shoot back at around 05:45 his local time, immediately before boarding the plane for an extended USA trip.

Long thread, and twitter tries very hard to censor the thread for hate speech (which is technically correct) just short of blocking it,
but maybe worth the read precisely because of that:

In a case of ridiculously unlikely serendipity, I met the guy, immediately before boarding the plane for the return trip from LAX to Germany:

@IntegralDuChemin Have you tried being a decent human being and approaching them like equals? I hear that's their kink!

I swear to god americans have gotten dumber since i left. Its at the point they seem to be struggling to follow along in even simple conversations anymore. I keep needing to repeat myself and they just hear something totally different.

The USA Freedom Act is an acronym for "Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ensuring Effective Discipline Over Monitoring Act"... Essentially the "USA Freedom" act is an acronym for "An act that violates your freedoms"...

You gotta give the US senate this, at least they have a sense of humor when they are raping our freedoms.

Fuck people who show up early. I wasnt planning on putting on pants for another 2 minutes and 17 seconds!

I've been in the ocean with countless Octopii before. I have also seen a ton of evidence of their intelligence. Not one bit of this would surprise me honestly.

So I just had a huge plate of improvized keto friendly Chicken Parmesan. Basically just took some grilled chicken, threw some left over sauce, some hot sauce and spiced and a bunch of cheese on top and heated it.

Ya know, while the breading would have been nice it really wasnt bad at all! Maybe I can do this keto thing afterall all. Even had some left over!

Here's an XPath rule that can be used in a compatible adblocker. It works, but causes a bit of flickering as the blocked post loads and is removed in a fraction of a second. Of course, if you want it to affect a different website than QOTO, you should change that.

qoto.org##:xpath(//button[contains(concat(' ',normalize-space(@class),' '),' status__content__spoiler-link ') or contains(concat(' ',normalize-space(@class),' '),' spoiler-button__overlay ')]/ancestor::div[contains(concat(' ',normalize-space(@class),' '),' status__wrapper ') or contains(concat(' ',normalize-space(@class),' '),' detailed-status__wrapper ')])

I grew up on Saved By the Bell so I probably find this a lot funnier than most people do.

Zack Morris is Trash: that time he orchestrated a car accident and almost killed his girlfriend he forced into being his girlfriend against her will

Just had to reject an application to join QOTO.. Had this in the application and I loled:

"3. What's a Stem?"

When I read things like this my first thought is "Post hoc ergo propter hoc"?

While I do think cannabis may induce anxiety it could very well be that those prone to anxiety are the ones more likely to consume cannabis in the first place. there is no way of knowing from this set of data which direction the association goes.

this is why double-blind studies are always critical and any conclusions drawn from data that is not double-blind in nature should be considered highly suspect.

Step 1. Burn down your own neighborhood because you are angry.
Step 2. Business owners and basically anyone who can help it leave your neighborhood because it is unsafe.
Step 3. Decry the lack of safety and ask for increased police attention to your neighborhood.
Step 4. Things get better for a while.
Step 5. The police kill someone in your neighborhood. Go to Step 1.
