The Micro Blogging Timeline

no i understand why people use social media i just think that if people are going to do long writeups, collections of resources and guides that theyre sharing in multiple places they should put those things on a site and link method that people can actually look at

It sucks complete ass to save any resource on social media. You never know what’s going to happen to it or if some idiot who runs the thing is going to decide to make it really hard to link out. Save it on a site you have control over and link out to it.

yea this is the key for me too - like despite moving from blogspot to Wordpress to self-hosted ghost to ghost to now my obsidian vault, i have all my writing from the past 15 years available to me 'cause i have a place I can keep my stuff and export from

but i agree with you that reach is a problem for sure. the one thing i miss from cohost is that people really did read and share my stuff, i don’t know who I’m posting for anymore outside of this forum haha

genuine question what’s wrong w mail in voting? I’ve never thought of it as potentially being a bad thing before :thinking:

When i worked I never got the day off for voting, so by the time I got off work, the polling place near me was closed. Mail in voting has been very helpful on that front.

Actually I’m going to take that back lmao I’m not going to break the golden rule of avoiding online arguments and criticize another country’s politics

Semi-heavy post.

Sometimes you see friends who came up in a bad family environment call you nice or exceptional for doing something that is just. Bare minimum decency and respect for others and you just gotta sit the hell down for a minute.

Equal and opposite forces of “I’m flattered and pleased by the compliment” and “dear god what on earth were your family doing”

fwiw I’m not American and it really was a genuine question! I’ve never done mail in voting.

Uggghghhhgghggghgghhgg my stomach has been painful since before I went to sleep and I thought it would be fine. Nope, woke up juste after midnight with pain and now I’ve been awake since 3:20 with non-stop stomach pains. I love this on a Monday morning. Cancel the whole fucking week imo.

Yesterday i played a demo for a game called Signy & Mino. I downloaded it cuz i thought it was a cartoony DMC game, but it turned out to be more of a Mario RPG with and interesting combo system. I had to recommend it somewhere

Sometimes, but it’s usually been stuff I’m aware is Kind Of Fucked, or else it’s been a more neutral [Your experiences are not universal.gif]

Have definitely had the “I’m sharing a bit if interiority and now my loved one is hugging me very tightly. Hrm that does sound a little dire in retrospect”
