This summer and last I started feeling the bite of mosquitoes, like, not the itch, but the moment they "bite". Like a thin shot or a thin plant spike but more than fiberglass. Is there an evolutionary or environmental change to mosquitoes happening, or am I becoming immune to their numbing agent? What's happening?

On conservatives@hilariouschaos, they shared a Babylon bee meme saying marines were invading a 3rd world country meaning California I pointed out that Californias existence allows their racist red states to exist. Despite me being "upvoted" with citations that were asked for, and them being negative, my posts were deleted. I wasn't aware that hilariouschaos was as bad as .ml or worse.

I'd like to start an instance about "bragging". It'd be an instance to celebrate small wins. Like "I did a thing I've been dreading!" I'm almost positive I have ADHD despite that my mother never bothered to have me checked because fuck me, im just a problem right? Well I'd like to set up an instance for people to kind of celebrate doing the things that we absolutely hate doing. "I got my house refinanced and saved $40 a month!" Awesome! I bet that took a lot of effort! Good on you doing the thing!

My doctor said if I have ADHD, that it's not bad enough to do anything about. And I've heard stories of others getting the same thing. So it would be more of a positive support group for people who struggle with those types of things. Like, when I get happy about doing/finishing something mundane, people are like "uh ...cool" cause they don't get the struggle of doing something so mundane. It's so much of a struggle that others don't understand. So when you struggle with this kind of thing, saying "I cleaned the bathroom" gets a response like "that sucks" but that was a win for this person. I want a place for people to brag about knocking things off their never-ending list, to celebrate the win, even if it's nothing to others.

So my question is how do I do this? How do I make a new instance?

Edit: just to stave off the main communication issue, I meant community, not Instance. If anyone has voyager and has done it can help, that'd be great. And I appreciate all help, both previous to the edit and after. Thank you all for the much more supportive place than reddit.

Like, obviously they would die immediately. But I'm wondering, would they be ripped to subatomic shreds? Would they somehow manage to set off a small nuclear explosion? Would they just get cooked as they're propelled into the void?

Looks like they built the vaults already.

Ok, so I just bought my first shotgun (former military, and longtime pistol/rifle owner). I've got next to zero experience with shotguns however. It's a GForce GFY-1 i bought it without reading reviews, which say it jams a lot. Whoops. Anyways, it comes with 3 chokes, and I have no idea which is for what scenario. Can someone ELI5 the use for them?

Also after reading reviews it says you can't use slugs, why is that? Also, if I can't use slugs, is it ok to use other spicy ammo like dragons breath or flechettes or anything?

Edit: sold it before putting a single shell through it and bought a Remington 870. But I still want a tough semi auto.
