any task can be broken down into simpler steps:
1) begin to dread the task
2) complain about the task online
3) avoid the task
4) you're done! it's that easy!

your hacker name is the first 16 digits of your credit card number followed by the expiration date and security code, followed by your full name and billing address, followed by your birthday and social security number and mother's maiden name, followed by "the hacker"

hi gay, i'm dad

"how would you like your fediverse?"
"plemorare"
"and you?"
"well mastodone"

imagine unironically using the term "mebibytes"

say, would anyone want to get together and write up an unofficial fediverse newsletter? i wouldn't! but i'd love to plan on reading it and never get around to it
