  • Hi preston! I really love hanging out in this lil corner of the internet, and I have nothing but gratitude to you – for maintaining the patio, and for the chill vibe you’re bringing to the threadiverse. Thank you!

    I have no words that can describe whatever is happening right now. I’m sorry that you have to do what you have to do.

    If the instance ever pops up again in the future, I’d definitely come running back! But your safety and peace of mind are far more important and I hope you stay safe.

    Thank you once again, and take care!

    Agreed that Falinks max battle is not fun (at least for a casual player). We took it down with 2 people, but had to have the right moves (Charizard with a Flying-type move), otherwise Falinks kicked our ass. I ended up just doing it once for the 'dex and never touched it again.

    The jump in difficulty from 1-star to 3-star was pretty steep – I really want the upcoming Gigantamax Gengar but it’s 6-star and IDK how I’d be able to handle it when I have exactly one (1) other friend who play :(

    My sibling’s delightful ex-roommate–a conservative, 20something, middle-class, cishet white man–said that he feels very oppressed in their college town! He’s always scared of saying what he thinks bc then everyone will think of him badly! Literally the most oppressed! (His actual words)




  • As someone who’s had a single-user Mastodon instance for two years now: I love it. It’s definitely not for everyone, for reasons mainly stated in the article. However, if you like a more personal, highly-curated federated timeline, a single-user instance is great.

    I 90% use Mastodon to keep up with my friends’ posts and see art and animal pictures (and I hate interacting with strangers LOL), so I curate my instance to only subscribe to them. For the remaining 10%, I have a secondary account on a larger instance for when I want to read the news etc. It’s worked well for me, but again, it’s surely not for everyone!

    As someone who uses a 40s keyboard (no numbers row, kinda similar to the bottom middle keyboard in OP’s pic): my wrist pain that I got from typing 4-6 hours a day was gone once I started using them, because they’re compact and I don’t have to move my hands/wrists at all. When I type with a full-sized keyboard, I have to move my wrist when I want to type numbers, for example. Now I can type for 8+ hours a day without worrying about pain.

    Of course, keyboards are all personal preference! That’s why I love the mech keyboard community, seeing all the different layouts and shapes people tailor to use for themselves.

    I’m the same when I’m going on a vacation with my parents! I want to have as much memories captured with them as possible… But it’s only when I’m with them lol. I usually go to vacations solo, and the pictures without me is still memories to me–even if it’s a bad picture and not professional quality, it’s still something I saw and experienced myself. Like maybe my sunset picture I took is crooked or too dark etc, but when I see it I remember the moment I was there; it captured exact hue of the sky that I saw, the birds that I was watching earlier, the clouds that I thought looked like a Pokemon and made me smile. The better pictures that other people took do not have that, so for me personally, it’s not a wasted effort.

    The other day I was looking at my solo vacation pictures from 10, 15 years ago without me in them, and the memories are still with me.

    Anyway, I think that although we take them differently, we both agree that vacation pictures should be for our memories, and not for “showing other people that we were REALLY there” (as my cousin said, haha…)

    I hate selfies, so whenever I’m on vacation I just take pictures of my surroundings but never with me in it. Once, my cousin wanted to see my vacation pics, so I showed them to him. He then asked why I’m not in any of them. When I said I didn’t think it was necessary, his genuine confused reply was, “But how do people know you were really there, then?”

    It’s really insane out there.
