Well they can listen to my voice when I say this:

no thanks

corpos are virulently, malignantly predatory and untrustworthy. remember when a music label got sued for literally installing malware on the computers anyone played their discs in?

i suspect they’re doing some other shady shit to track you. wonder if it’ll still do that if you go to a public library and install it there.

my job uses a vpn too, although i don’t know why; for some reason my reported dirtspace location as far as network stuff goes is like 300 miles away from me >.> but for some reason i ain’t blocked or banned despite an old account of mine catching a permanent suspension

killing that account was kind of an impulsive act… and i have two other accounts that were both registered from drastically different places, and on different machines. so, i dunno, maybe these are all contributing factors to just not having any traceable meta-data that could establish a pattern sufficient for their automated systems.

well NOW they are probably just straight up banning you for ban evasion so that’s more motive to ban someone than they even usually care to have.

same vibe as arresting someone for resisting arrest

yeah scalzi friggin rules! :D

no wonder they can smell blood from miles away; they’re literally made of nose.

I accept that you have corrected me. I hope he will change his tune.

To be fair i DID SAY preferably alive so it’s literally true that i did the opposite of call for their death :p They need to go home though. Back home to Russia. Not Ukraine.

That said, I DO IN FACT believe the Jewish peoples should have a safe nation to live in. ISRAEL IS NOT SUCH A PLACE. They should go back to Europe and stop trying to colonize indigenous people. Or hell, I would LOVE for them to live right here in New England! I will in fact NOT shoot rockets at them because I want them to live in peace and safety HERE, FAR AWAY FROM PALESTINE

yeah, pretty sure zelenskyy looks at what israel is doing to a palestine and recognizes it as what russia wants to do to ukraine. He’s not going to be friendly toward a country that embodies russia’s aspirations for brutality.

oh yes. it’ll change alright. it’ll change to russia losing even more territory ;p

putin is sure to announce one day that ukraine taking back crimea and crushing all russian forces within its borders will have “put them right where we want them!” and that it was all part of his ‘brilliant’ strategic planning.

HOLY COW THERE’S DEEP LORE REGARDING FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS?! O.O

Do you have a favorite fact? Or like, one particular thing about the subject that really surprised you? Do you have a fire alarm system in mind as “the best” or “worst” in terms of performance and detection? :D

No, but one friend of mine absolutely does.

(And, yes, she’s autistic.)

Commiseration is real and misery loves company, homie.

How d’ya like those Hot Potatoes, Tovarisch? HA!

It gave me a long term phobia of explosive decompression that fucked with me for decades after. I honestly can’t comprehend what the fuck the showrunners were thinking when they decided to portray a child taking off their helmet in the vacuum of space

> die
> arrive in afterlife
> ask god if earth is flat or round
> god says it’s round???
> realize the roundoid conspiracy got to him too
> sent to hell for doubting god
> persecuted for challenging the lies
> clearly the conspiracy feels threatened if they’re going this far to silence me
> validation! vindication!

It’s…

I feel dumb that it took me so long to comprehend it, but, just in case there’s anyone else struggling:

This Mac user is running Linux in a virtual machine within a Windows virtual machine ._.

And something inside me seems to be screaming.

The sound feels as though it’s emanating from roughly where I used to think my soul would have been.
