No one can force the world to accept them as they are, but they can carve out a little space to actually be themselves in.

I propose a personal challenge for 2019. Nothing major, but it might give you a little bit of perspective.

In 2019, try your best to avoid as much media as possible that is based on IPs created before, say, your date of birth. (For me, that would include “Star Wars” as well as Marvel and DC films.) Also try to avoid reboots, remakes, and “rebakes” (remakes disguised as reboots).

#FindNewStories and give them a chance. 👍

Welp, the check I was waiting for from the IRS for 2016's misfiled tax return came.

But instead of being $1600 and me being covered for a few months, it's $222 and I'm actually gonna be about $600 short on rent next month.

I know I've asked for a lot of help recently and I appreciate the help I've gotten enormously, and I am in the process of getting back into school after my name change fiasco, so I will be stable on my own again soon.

But in the mean time, I am asking for help.

Boosts are super appreciated also, and in fact a huge help. <3

lololol

so i went to the apple store to replace the broken screen on my iphone

turns out their screen replacement calibration software doesn't run properly on #iOS12, so they had to replace the entire phone!

you'd think they would have been ready for their own OS updates?

Just published a short guide for finding stuff on #PeerTube, along with how you actually subscribe to channels.

I have a number of channel recommendations for anyone that's wondering "Where the heck do I watch stuff?"

(eternal apologies to everyone that might gripe, I'm still working on a Medium replacement)

Just look at what we can do with this technology!

computers are fuckin weird. "hey, weird flat chunk of shiny stone. im gonna feed you some electricity, and you're gonna do my thinking for me, okay?"

...I kind of like the tyrian spaceship sue me

I just now noticed the ascii art of the terminal as changed from Arch to Antegos and damn that stuff is ugly! lol

It’s extremely concerning that CapitalOne’s iOS app is 400 MB. What bad things are they doing to to use that much space for a banking app?

finally do I have the proper way of looking at the fediverse

also yes it's fully functional and I'm actually using it as my main interface right now

Person in the comments: "I don't want to be inflicted with it. If they want gender free toilets let them pay for them"

Me: "I don't particularly like sharing my breathing space with bigots but I don't think you should buy your own oxygen tanks to carry around with you."

if you open tmux, ssh into another machine, open tmux, ssh back into your original machine and reattach to the original tmux session, tmux gets really confused

Why do I still sometimes get nightmares involving university 😩

Hey if you want friends joining here, but they seem reluctant, try this:

Offer to help them on every step and assure them that they are awesome just for trying!

Make sure they know that they don't have to use this service, but giving it a try makes them the greatest person ever and also you're there to help them creating an account and getting started.

Bwonsamdi is currently the best character in Battle for Azeroth

There is a burner phone on the bench at this bus stop and I'm afraid to touch it because i don't have time for a side quest right now.

Guess I'm walking the rest of the way home.
