@LottieVixen @Elizafox of course not she's talking about people being shitty and the tankies like it's the software's fault and like it wasn't the exact same bullshit on every other platform because it can't do anything about it

@kensanata more seriously a colorful warning at the top of the README is usually the best, and you can even add information if you'd like someone to be the new maintainer. I wouldn't change the repo name to not break existing links.

@Elizafox this isn't far from actual paranoia

@Elizafox but mastodon didn't invent gossip

people were shitty with eachother when they had to physically meet too and the only solution to this is to choose your friends differently

i don't except mastodon to make people nicer and i don't know why anyone would

@Elizafox why are you saying this

you're literally my only regular source of discourse and i follow 474 other people

@Elizafox i've got my most likes (and by far) on ranting against transphobia and hot takes that are actually just common sense in uppercase

wrong argument

@Elizafox because you remember you felt even worse on twitter and it's still progress

but the "i don't know why BUT TRUST ME IT'S THE TANKIES" is terrible

i'm not sure you realize just how bad it sounds

@Elizafox that toot was 10% worse than tankies

@Elizafox that's a 2/10 shitpost you've become unworthy of my follow iam leaving forver

hey you can have more than 999,999 caps in Fallout Shelter

i don't know how (it doesn't update anymore when i get caps) but i now have 1,000,599

depression

cons:
- excessively lonely
- everything is terrible and get worse

pros:
- intense shitpost with a dramatic conflict between self-loathing and self-deprecation

"died in a accidental nuclear explosion, after a failed attempt to purposely nuke herself, while working on the most ridiculously inefficient nuke ever built"

"it appears the device ran linux"

@bob yeah but

honestly we're all totally selling protection from state surveillance even if we know it doesn't do much, and people are buying it and others are recommending it
---

it's a terrible state to have to fight your own government, and people shouldn't get complacent over *that*. that's how they glorify liberalism and individualism and become right wingers. get to the root cause, not the symptoms.

would someone fund me to make a very tiny nuke please

goal would be an ironic yield and the ability to toot about it and possibly exploding in the process

@bob no one cares about breaking crypto when you can break the software anyway

not "get complacent", more like "stop trying to fix your dystopian failure of a government by giving your money to vpns and protonmail as if it was anywhere close to a solution"; or even "throwing literal bricks would yield more results than trying to escape the nsa"

@kensanata not indicating it, ignoring all PRs, and assaulting people when they open an issue

*starts libreoffice calc*
*nothing, waiting*
*still nothing*

years later and i'm still expecting things

*back to google sheets*
