Also entirely possible.

I knew it would make you mad but I did it anyway.

I don’t think you have the guts to do anything about it either, vibe coder.

He might have thought you were romantically interested in him, wasn’t interested, and didn’t know how to communicate that without being worried he might offend you.

There’s this concept of a relationship escalator and everybody rightly shits on how much it fucks things up on the back end of erotic relationships.

But in pretty much every kind of new relationship, whether it’s business, friendship, family, or romance, people expect to increase their commitments gradually, in coordination with the other person.

Yes, this means that most people looking to make new friends and lovers expect you to act a little less excited about getting to know them than you actually are. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It seemed like the llm had decided it was in a brat scene and was trying to call down the thunder.

He shredded Tim Walz in the VP debate. Was not even close.

Thanks for the exemplary embodiment of mastodon’s attitude toward alt text.

Bluesky was built to be a Valley bigotfest and data vampire from the very beginning.

The lead dev of mastodon is kind of a jerk sometimes, but he doesn’t run the instances.

I’m pretty certain that my Masto home instance isn’t going to turn into corporate trash because the the people running it have been running queer servers for decades and are community-funded.

And suppose mastodon does turn into shit? My home instance also supports other fedi protocols.

Companies founded by Jack Dorsey or taking VC money, though? Guaranteed hellsite, just a matter of time.

Hell you don’t even have to be funny on mastodon.

What we ARE picky about is posting images without descriptive text or asking for a volunteer caption.

She knew exactly what she was going to be defending. She used all the code words and dog whistles from the start.

Her presence on a project will raise my eyebrows.

So I’m assuming she will head to Mozilla or Ubuntu.

Fucking A

Well those sound like people who aren’t good to open up to.

I do sympathize though, I pretended to be a guy for several decades, and my wife put exactly the same kind of duality on me that men put on women.

I was expected to be sympathetic and nurturing in some contexts and aggressive, jealous, and demanding in others, and I was just supposed to know when to switch.

And there was an amount of vulnerability I was able to display, but beyond that I’d get told to suck it up.

I think somebody needs to come up with an ad campaign that’s Therapy For Men. Big sweaty hairy guys with thick beards looking after each other’s mental health like BROs. It worked to get men to use soap.

(Seriously, I think counseling is too female-coded for a lot of men to be comfortable with it unless they’re fucking the person, or they start to want to fuck the person because they’re unused to talking about things).
