Any non-paywalled version available?

Me, scrolling past some halloween posts: "Oh that costume turned out great, and you even got a familiar :D"

Ready to join the coven

[...] I do have something that amounts to far more than he ever could hope for. Confidence and people who genuinely love me.

I'm relieved and somewhat disappointed that this didn't end as I thought it would

The Weirdos Walz

It doesn't mention autism or any neurodivergency specifically but seeing how the divergents are often regarded as strange or weird I thought this fit.

Plus I like the thought of of slowly walking and swaying around to this with some like-minded folk

Me to my little program for scraping some stories: "Hm, 'Ignore robots.txt'? Sure, let's do that by default please :D"

Anti-woke as umbrella term because having to remember what exactly they're "representing" is hard?

A few questions as you're self hosting an instance and I haven't read much about it yet.
Are you hosting it on personal hardware?
Can you just choose any free name for the domain if it's on your own hardware or do you need to rent one regardless?
Do you keep it active all the time or turn it off for the night/other periods of time where you know you won't use it?

You mean pulling over as in stopping at the side of the road to let people pass because you were abiding by the speed limit? That sounds so wild to me.

I absolutely love driving the speed limit exactly when someone behind me thinks I want a longer trunk, maybe a tiny bit slower if they're persistent.
They're usually able to keep a bigger distance all of a sudden.

That said, the speed is usually at most at 10kmh above the limit so I guess it's not too bad yet. Aside from the occasional idiot that thinks curves with little visibility are superior to straight sections where you can see the next 500 meters for taking people over.

I don't think logic applies to these works of art

Another quote to add to my now begun collection of (political) analogies. The second one after "Voting for [right wing party name] is like shitting in your own bed because you're angry about not being able to sleep at night"

New hospital floor layout when?

Upper floor:
Room equipped to handle birthing

Middle floor:
Nursery station where newborns are kept for a calm and sterile environment to ensure they stay healthy

Lower floor:
Giant freezer, similar layout as the middle floor, just less necessary to keep it sterile or anything. Has the advantage that you can stack containers and save space

/s, though I wonder how many people would believe it if they were told this was planned...
