So ... Trying to lose a few pounds means you're just always hungry, hunh

The wealthy and powerful all like "who among us wouldn't have sex with young beautiful sex trafficked women if offered?"

Umm ... Like ... An overwhelming majority of people? Yes, even men?

@nprofile1q... I said what I said :neocat_angry:

Because it's a feature that is less known or less appreciated on Mastodon:

Hide Boosts

Have a person you like to follow, but they boost a ton of stuff you don't like? Click their profile, go into their menu (like where you would block them) and there's a hide Boosts button.

It's legit made it possible for me to not unfollow people entirely when they boost too much irritating or triggering or whatever content.

I'll start.

emacs

Gnome vs KDE Plasma vs some other desktop environment

Wrong answers only.

I'll never not be angry about how labor proved to the world that remote work is basically as good as in person work 6 years ago, and allows the corp to recruit from anywhere, and yet so many places have just said "actually, no, we want everyone back in the office 3-5 days per week because it makes management and extroverts and people who don't have to be the primary caregiver for a dependant sad".

@nprofile1q... In the rare instances I do choose to share extremely disturbing things, I don't even solely rely on CWs since many people - myself included - auto expand them. I'll make the URL unclickable so someone has to copy paste it if they want to see it. Surround it with backticks if your software supports markdown. Put a space in the URL. Something so only those who actually choose to see things that may haunt dreams see it.

@nprofile1q... I could MAYBE see an argument to be made if it was a financial question - is it worth going 6 figures into debt to get a piece of paper you never use? But that's going to be very person specific based upon what their dreams and aspirations are. And it'd still be best to keep some sort of plan B around, be it a trade or a 2 year degree or something.

ICE didn't "deploy tear gas", they used chemical weapons against unarmed civilians

I do appreciate all the work the EU has done with regulatory work around data sovereignty and the DMA. But they would still be gigafucked if the US ordered Amazon, Google, and Microsoft to cut them off. They may not even have the encryption keys accessible entirely in the EU. The fact that their data physically resides in Europe don't mean shit if a US corp can kill their whole infrastructure with a single command to lock their accounts.

I'm convinced that in addition to people who want to mine Greenland, that another major lobby pushing for a Greenland conflict is weapons dealers. They REALLY want the EU to be pushed into massive weapons spending so they can sell to all sides of a military conflict.
