Those really are a game changer. It has made me join the club of weirdos who have countless of tabs open.

I do this all the time, although admittedly not when speaking to others… It’s useful for problem-solving if one gets stuck, a little while of no thinking clears the board and allows thoughts to again wander new paths. It’s also useful for preventing headaches from muscle tension!

When I was using Mastodon, the local timeline was almost exclusively what I was paying attention to. It was a really nice small community of people.

I suppose memes about dreams must always have plenty of comments. People (myself included) just love talking about their dreams!

This is easy though. The amount of times I’ve kicked my toe into something on the way to the kitchen and ended up in 12th plane of torment is innumerable.

Is this how cyborgs are made?

Oh definitely! They didn’t really have any direction for story early on, but with Mahjarrat storylines that began to change. Then they began to weave all the different stories together into a coherent world with surprising success.

I’d say in 2011-2013 the story really started to kick off. Gods for example were turned from simple good-evil entities into actually interesting characters representing different ideologies and philosophies.

Unlike some other MMOs, RS doesn’t have voice acting (for the most part), which allows them to write a lot more dialogue. For example Azzanadra’s Quest alone has ~25 000 words of dialogue. You can probably imagine how much lore a 20-year-old game like that can contain!

My useless skill is being a RuneScape lore repository. There’s very little that I don’t know about that subject.

This was one of those rare times when a meme full of text was actually enjoyable!

My cats are always sleepy. Except when I’m sleeping, that’s the time for a race around the house.

That’s… actually quite interesting. I wonder how true the part about projecting current emotions on it is. I never see it as anything, but an emotionless face.

This was my old keyboard, until I fell into the rabbit hole of
[email protected] …

I’m not quite sure if I’m better or worse off now, but I love my Moonlander nonetheless.

I think it’s worth mentioning the amount of instances full of bots as well. I just started hosting my own instance and decided to check other instances’ block lists to defederate from at least some bot instances. I now have about 50 blocked instances. (instances with 60k or so users each with no posts)

I’d say what’s intuitive is very subjective. Most of a language tends to be intuitive to its native speakers, no matter how unintuitive it seems to someone else.

To me the intuitive genderless option for “he/she” would be “it”. Coming from Finnish, it seems much more natural to have “it” include people instead of using “they” for both singular and plural. Or if using “they”, it would feel intuitive to say “they is” instead of “they are”.

I very much agree. Learning English as a foreign language, it feels very wrong to use plural for a single person. I’m still not quite used to it! Although, had I been taught that early on, I doubt it would feel any weirder than using “you are” for a single person.

Pfft, rest of the world should start following Finns on this and call everyone and everything ‘it’! Except pets for some reason.
