When I was an adolescent, I dreamt that I performed oral sex on a woman by putting my entire head inside of her vagina. Turns out that cunnilingus is nothing like my premonition, but I certainly had the texture figured out.

Does the server matter at all? Wasn’t able to find a straight pixelfed.ca like I did with Lemmy, but it seems like people always end up dunking on the larger servers or defederating them because of Nazis.

I’m in a similar boat. I immigrated to Canada back in 2017, and I have a daughter now who is turning five. As of right now Facebook is the single most effortless way for me to stay in contact with my friends and family back home, and allows them to feel familiar with and/or connected to me and my daughter.

I was watching Despicable Me with my daughter yesterday and was struck by how we will never see much variation or artistic style in animated movies ever again. They all just look like Pixar/DreamWorks now.

Ah, yes. Curious George’s adopted father’s great, great, great grandfather.

That’s exactly what drove me into seeking out Lemmy instead. I hopped on Mastodon and it made me feel like I was being coralled into following some niche hobby forum exclusively, and I wasn’t into that. It didn’t explain that the instance itself was largely irrelevant and that the rest of the platform would open up to me after choosing one.

Lemmy still had a learning curve, but having experience with reddit I was able to pick it up easily enough.

Thanks for the heads up. I don’t really have a vendetta against Microsoft, I just hear a lot of moaning over how bad 11 is and have been hesitant to upgrade thus far. Even if it isn’t great, I managed to strip 10 down in a way that it closely resembles 7, so I’m sure I can do something similar.

I’m on Windows 10 currently, so not quite two versions behind, but I held onto XP and 7 for ages.

I have always liked Windows, but I’m always two versions behind and have never actually experienced any other OS. I’m open to Linux, but it also scares the shit out of me because I’ll essentially go back to knowing fuck all about the OS on my PC.

And I’ve also heard gaming can be complicated on Linux, whether or not that’s true.

HEROSHIMA! CHERNOBYL! WINDOWS 95! WE DO IT ONCE, WE DO IT AGAIN!

The entire app is a slow and clunky mess on our Roku TV. I’ve never seen a more poorly optimized and irritating service. Every time we’re subjected to it I’m dumbfounded that Disney would even greenlight such a thing.

Perhaps be will be laid to rest in Hitler’s favorite unmarked grave.

Not hearing the kind stranger line for over a year now has been wonderful.

Mastodon overwhelmed me. I hopped on the website and had no idea what I was looking at. I didn’t understand federation. I basically had the option of what niche hobby to join on Mastadon and no indication that I would he able to access a broader forum, so I said “Well, this fucking sucks.” and left.

Threads and BlueSky are likely as accessible as making an account and you’re done.

My wife and I looked at this wild old house a few months back that had a toilet built in the basement connected to the basement that came off of the other basement. Like, this house just kept going in weird directions and had all kinds of absurd additions. Anyway… The toilet down there was in this small room, perched atop a high carpeted platform with a few stairs (also carpeted) leading up to the throne itself. It was so fucking weird.

🎵 Fros-ty the Sul-tan… 🎵

My grandpa had a story about being out in the woods hunting morels, when he came across a pile of dead dogs. A literal large pile, rotting in the intense summer heat. It disturbed him for a long time. I wonder if they were fox dogs?

Holy shit, I love this. It’s like a slice of the small things I pay attention to but really have no reason to care about. Shadows on snow being one of them. Great vibes.
