scintilla

Oh holy shit is that when I tried mastodon it felt like a ghost town with people only posting and no one engaging in discussions?

For me it's the customizability. My old keyboard I had ,before I switched to a low profile split one because I was staring to feel pain in my wrists, had cermic keycaps. Then the fact that they are basically infinitly repairable and I only need to spend a few hundred dollars for a keyboard I will enjoy forever as compared to probably 100$ for keyboards I will hate over my lifetime.

That's true of a lot of colleges.

I'm going to push back because as society exists now there are a lot of cities I have been to where the graveyard is the most easily accessible green space. I don't know how weird it may be but sitting with the dead in the quite separated from the surroundings was one of my favorite things to experience. I'm not a religious/spiritual person and it was very helpful in connecting to the people who died before I met them.

Getting off 4chan and talking to people you used to go to school with for advice on what to do would probably be a start for OP.

So you're friend helps hide corruption?

Theft. The answer is IP theft.

as someone in gen-z who didn't have a ton of limiters on my screen time. Gen alpha is fucked. I was only constantly exposed to the internet starting at 8 and I can only imagine how muchvworse it will be for someone who had a screen in their face since before their brain could form memories.

Also way too many corps don't have up to date information on their website and their twitter profile has more recent info. The lack of that on any FOSS/decentralized social media means that some people just have to keep a centralized account open.

The general feeling of hating everything about myself that was slightly "masculine" when I started having to shave I was sad about it. I hate looking at myself in the mirror and seeing a man looking back at me. I realized that wasn't normal when I was maybe 16(?) I genuinely thought most men if they could would choose to magically wake up as a girl.

oh for sure. Wasn't being serious, dysphoria is there and makes me basically think of existing as a man as hell and finding out that's not everyone was interesting to say the least.
