We definitely need a “They did the math” community.

Yet, comments per day seems to be going up! And I helped!

It’s not. There are more appropriate communities to post this.

Only liberal protesters get harassed. If you have a gun, they hand you a bottle of water.

Well, I was something like 13, and I remember it on TV. I lived in a rural area, where we got about 6 channels on an antenna tower. I watched what they watched.

Hello! I played D&D first in nineteen-eighty-fucking-one and lived through the Satanic Panic. Have you seen Tom Hanks in his first big acting role? My parents sat me down in front of that. But I’m still playing D&D in a campaign right now, and my son plays as well. Aha, take that Satanic Panic!

Sad trombone noise.

And later, Emerald Mine on the Amiga. So many hours of my life, gone.

Grim Fandango is an amazing story about life and death and love…

… Built upon an engine where the protagonist walks around at sloth speed. Manny Calavaras just sashays along, and there’s no way to speed his ass up.

But the most touching parts of the story stick with me after 20 years.

I should have made the obligatory link to http://mastodon-near.me/

Yes! I’m on a local regional server that is nice. I like that it’s locally owned and operated, and we can talk local news and events.

There are PeerTube servers that allow a certain reasonable amount of content for free.

Especially if he lives in a vacuum.

Sad to hear this news.

Not OP, but I’m OOTL - is the green service Who Loo?

They are in competition with Mastodon, and have a marketing budget.

Five years from now, those platforms will become enshittified as their budgets dry up. They will need to milk the users for revenue. Well see another surge in a few years, until they learn that Mastodon is actually better.

I’ve never seen one of these, but about 5 years ago I saw a gravy dispenser at a gas station for biscuits & gravy.

I passed.

Yes, but sleep soundly at night on a big pile of money.
