When the holy one left the Fediverse, my faith in Dog was broken

Meh...

At first i was pleased to see the content. Plenty of cool pics of old things.

A lot of it was just reposting low effort memes, which is not at all a problem, it's just no great loss.

But the more i interacted with them, the more i saw long waffly comments without a firm point. Or saw them arguing in favour of common misconceptions, or in favour of outdated "heirarchies are a good thing" understandings of history, or in favour of arguments that more recent research casts a lot of doubt on.

What's the legacy of a profilic poster of middling content? Prolific is good, fediverse needs content. But the content itself was no great loss.

sing this corrosion [meme]

When i was picked up by the cops for skipping school, i had a fake ID that said my name was Andrew Eldritch. The cops called my mother and said "excuse me miss Eldritch we have your son Andrew", so she just laughed at them and was like, "Do you seriously not know Sisters of Mercy?"

Would you rather: date someone who you like but who doesn't initially like you back, or date someone who likes you whom you don't initially like back?

I have done both and while the former was very stressful, it was still better than the latter.

Dating someone you're not super into who really likes you felt like having a chainsaw hand. It sounds cool as long as you don't think about any of the details, but in practice you just spend the entire time worrying how to avoid causing any harm.

📛Killdozers, Rollout!📛

Caterpillar have been profitting from israel's genocide of the palestinian people for decades.

When a palestinian throws a rock at a soldier occupying their land and israel responds by bulldozing the entire family's homes in direct violation of the geneva convention, they use caterpillar equipment.

When you're engineering genocide, think caterpillar.

I too am skeptical that a pattern this eye-catching and regular is natural - the eyes ears, the forehead, the feet, the tail? It's just too perfect.

If a cat was born looking like that, surely you'd be honour-bound to take it to the capital and gift it to the emperor while begging him to spare your village of simple cat breeders from some injustice?

A woman brought her own snacks to Despicable Me 4. Then the police arrived

This is a story of one bootlicking employee who was in desperate need of fucking off and minding his own business:

However, just as the movie started, an employee told them to put their snack bags away, the report said. They agreed but the employee apparently insisted on sitting next to them to monitor the snack situation.

A few minutes later, one of the children popped a Skittle he was already holding into his mouth, and quite frankly, all hell broke loose, the women said. The employee started shouting at them, and said that the police would be called unless they left. This is when the children started crying.

“My niece asked nicely: ‘If you’re calling the police, are they going to kill my mum?’” one of the women told the newspaper. “And he laughed at that stage. He looks directly in her face and he said: ‘Yeah, maybe we’ll find out.’
