🧵 OK, time for another dev thread
This time I'm making an ART FORGERY game, should only take around 1.5 days but it'll probably be spread out into next week (& doing the thread slows me down)
There's one obvious choice for what you're forging...
For anyone having issues with the #ActuallyAutistic hashtag, there is also #AllAutistics and @allautistics (the latter being a recently created group that you can follow and post to).
They are intended for anyone who is (or thinks they might be) autistic (formally or self-diagnosed).
This is such a valuable point. Internal vs. external conflict.
External conflict requires a receiver who receives it as conflict, though, and I wish autistic spaces here were better at declining to take up the offense.
100mountains initially spoke primarily in first-person. It would be so fucking cool if first-person sentences at least got a full-on pass from masking. Let people describe their own perspectives on depersonalized things without any risk of someone self-identifying with those things enough to say OUCH! minus one point for aggression!!
(I don't want to have to caveat, but I will for clarity, that I am criticizing an aspect of social choreography that doesn't have to be this way, and not either of you personally)
€ Euro banknotes are getting a new look! The time has come to choose the theme for their future design, and we want YOU to have a say. Which theme should be selected?
@EU_Commission
I followed the link to see the possible designs.
The first page gave an arithmetic question (NOT math, that is a separate rant) to "prove I am human".
I proved I am human by leaving the page.
Can anyone suggest a candidate other than Biden or Trump that look fairly moderate and a good choice? I have ruled out all third-party, all alternative democrats, and of course Trump... This leaves me thinking maybe one of the republican candidates are worth voting for but so far every one of those I checked out are pretty horrific too...
Is there even one candidate that is remotely a reasonable and moderate choice?
You're capable of doing the math and proving to yourself that only Biden or Trump can win. I have no idea why you're pretending otherwise, or why you're bashing Biden with both-sider nonsense.
Presumably, you're trolling. If so, go find a bridge.
There have been 59 elections for president in the history of the USA... in that time 8 of those have been elections where a third party from a previous year was one of the two top parties in the current election.
In all those cases the third parties the year before a switch had about the same support as they do now in terms of percentage, and the next year shot up to 50%+
that works out to a 13.5% chance in any one election of a third party with ~2% support or less from a previous year will win that year.
If we look at recent history points of note the last time one came close was Ross perot in 1992 at nearly 20% of the vote, and of course in the early part of 19th centraully where was also a third party coming into the top two.
While all of that does suggest a third party is certainly the long-shot... to say impossible is just not factual... Depending on how you look at iut there is a 13.5% chance at best, at worst maybe a 5% chance of them winning.
Voting for the non-evil choice with a 5% chance I will take any day than voting for teh super-evil choice who is just a tiny bit less evil than the other super-evil choice just because he had a 40% change of winning.
I started a tenant's union in our four connected buildings on my block.
A few weeks ago the management company sent out an email without Bcc-ing looking for a missing package and exposed the 45 email addresses of my neighbors.
4 out of 45 emails have responded YES!
Now I just have to figure out how to stay in my apartment.
I'm excited for the next major release of Mastodon (4.2) that's coming soon. Half a year of UX improvements (that of course mastodon.social users are already benefiting from). More details to follow.
October marks one year since the mass exodus from Twitter made my life exciting. For those that joined and stayed, I’m glad you’re here :blobheartcat:
@derthomas@Kitty@thomas@manon@SunDancer Ich bekomme gerade dieses Bild nicht aus dem Kopf, dass da plötzlich ein total verschwitzter Typ mit nem Fahrrad vor meiner Tür steht, sich als "Verwalter Tom" vorstellt und mir ein Päckchen mit T-Shirts überreicht.
