God that would be so itchy. I shaved everything once for drag. Never again. Now I peer pressure women to stop shaving instead.
My partner does the same thing. Just gets home and casually undresses while walking through the house.
Meanwhile I don't even like having bare arms unless it's really hot out.
Yeah it's like, do I actually have something meaningful to share or am I just high on caffeine
The "marketplace of ideas"
We had that. It was called internet and your communities were mailing lists and webrings
Hello, I would like to "subscribe" to all my "#follows" on one single website.
They have played us for absolute fools.
/meme
But yeah I agree. Although personally I think you get all that "real ideas" virtually for free if the purpose of the platform is the community, rather than attracting enough users to monetize.
I had a similar experience, but unfortunately I did see enough trolling in the gaming communities to convince me to leave. I thought sticking to the indie scene would be enough to avoid it, but the casual misogyny somehow kept getting in my feed. People in the scene would become trollmouths through their exposure, I guess.
The reason the comment is apropos is because doomerism serves incumbent interests, like those that benefit from us feeling hopeless about making a better world.
The slow smokeless burning of decay.
I don't want to sound all Malthusian but that's kind of fucked??

No such thing
Not actually ads as we, the modern netizens of the internet of 2005+20 know them, but fun little sort of buttons or blinkies used to cross-promote other places on the smol web.
I've seen a few of these around. But most recently I stumbled onto navlink ads and it reminded me of the phenomenon. I know there are others out there, I just can't remember where to find them.
Anyway, I like them. It's like using the tools of advertisers to add a little irreverent fun to our indie spaces.
Description: Meme of wide-eyed innocent Spongebob on left with caption "coffee stains" juxtaposed again muscular and angry Spongebob on the right with the caption "TEA STAINS".
Sorry if memes aren't welcome here. Just have been experiencing this since my partner drinks morning coffee as opposed to my morning tea, but her vessels can basically just be rinsed out. Whereas removing tea stains actually takes some elbow grease.
I'm on an orange pekoe or yorkshire (bagged), followed by ginger-turmeric green tease (loose) kick at the moment.
You've got to suck really hard to leverage surface tension while fisting.
Pro move but it can be done
