The single dumbest thing one can say when asked if you can speak with their manager is "I am the manager" (unless of course they are actually the boss)

When it comes to war movies that are kid-friendly enough to show to the whole family, Sgt. Stubby: An Unlikely Hero (2018) was actually enjoyable. Not the greatest visually but a fun true story to help kids get a grasp of what was happening in WWI.

"Guns don't kill people; people with guns kill people" is a fair point about gun violence.

But then why do we say cars kill people?

The graphic design chops within the indie music world never ceases to amaze

Since the invention of tools we have been going from learning how to do a thing to learning how to do a thing that does the thing. I don't know where I was going with this but hey

Some don't seem to realise that Amazon is a shopping mall. It's not helpful to treat it like it's some niche boutique that one doesn't often consider. "Five finds from Amazon" or "I bought it on Amazon" are not very useful comments.

@sabbatical @freemo I have to guess many users have abandoned their accounts and stopped checking every day, unlike you and I

Stuff like this exists. Tell me again how podcast dynamic ads aren't vulnerable.

My society needs to get its act together and agree upon how urgency is defined across communication mediums before people hate me for not understanding them correctly

News stories about people winning lotteries weird me out. They didn’t do anything special, it publicly labels a newly-wealthy (potentially easy targets for theft or swindling), it encourages more of the lamest form (IMO) of gambling, and feels more like advertising than anything else.
That being said, I wouldn’t complain about a “XYZ Charity Lottery Collects Gazillion Dollars for Hospitals” story, maybe mentioning the winners off-handedly.

anyway, happy i can finally access my fediverse folks feeds again. hello if you're seeing this! it's probably been half a year or more since my instance went down?

and my profile posts are back! albeit the most recent one that made it across the migration is from feb 2024. so that's too bad. better than nothing though.

Tenochtitlan sounds like a fascinating place to have lived.

@sabbatical this is a very good point… I definitely worry it won't be sticking around or working properly after all of that downtime. Nearly 3 months of being gone and no explanation!

AITA posts are either guilt-free people flexing their virtue, or guilty people chasing clout to drown out their conscience

@sabbatical @freemo oh weird, I'm seeing them now! This is the first time I've seen a number on the notifications tab

@sabbatical my bad! I honestly wasn't sure things were working because I haven't seen any other posts or got any notifications until this one!

@sabbatical wwweeeeiiiird

I sure don't appreciate the lack of news on why this all happened
