@dean it's time to give up on identity anonymity and make identity certification a robust, secure feature instead of a bug. Let me prove who I am and prevent impersonation. Because it is becoming more and more obvious that there is no stopping user fingerprinting.

If you’re the type of user who follows a whole bunch of people to fish for follow backs then unfollows a whole bunch of people indiscriminately to have a high follower/following ratio I want you to know you’re not as interesting as you think you are. You’re one of the worst types of users on any social media site.

Folks, I present to you the "rule-of-law" Democrat. Biden must win even if it takes tens of thousands of deaths abroad and cracking the skulls and silencing of student protestors at home. All in the name of saving democracy.

@matt5sean3 sigh This is such a difficult thing.

Like, on the one hand, fuck Biden and I will say it until I'm blue in the face.

On the other hand, I can't say anything if it's illegal to criticize the government because fascists have shredded the first amendment and elections are no more.

It's really easy to say "let it burn" when you're not the one who will be first at the stake. I bet there are a lot of trans people who would tell you to stfu and vote for Biden because if Trump wins they'll be dead AND Israel will be armed to the teeth even more than they already are.

neatchee,
@neatchee@urusai.social avatar

@matt5sean3 fair enough. I was definitely speaking more to the general issue than this specific case :)

And I'm definitely never opposed to criticizing Biden for his behavior. I just find it eminently important to make sure that we're not doing so in a way that leads to another Trump presidency by discouraging voting. No matter how bad Biden is, Trump will be measurably worse, and I do not believe in sacrificing the safety and well-being of some for the sake of standing on the moral high ground

neatchee,
@neatchee@urusai.social avatar

@matt5sean3 oh yeah 100%, it's never a good Idea to browbeat someone you actually want to win over. Always a losing strategy. Even if you don't respect the opinion itself you should always respect the person and their right to have an opinion, however they got there. Ideally you can hold a conversation.

Though, I do know there are unfortunately a lot of our fellow progressives who are very absolutist about certain things like their vote. It really stinks watching people actively try to tear down their potential allies.

If there's one thing you can say about the right, they know how to fall in line and act as one when it's time

neatchee,
@neatchee@urusai.social avatar

@matt5sean3 IMO that is an ideal to be pursued, not an absolute to be required. Because as I said before, if the republic falls apart and fascists take over while we're trying to figure out how to get everyone to agree then it's all for naught.

That's the thing that I'm most scared of right now: that enough privileged, insulated (mostly white) people would rather sacrifice lives (not their own, of course) in a bloody civil war than vote for Biden. It really upsets me when my friends here in Seattle try to convince people in Ohio not to vote for Biden. Like, yeah, it's easy to stand on principle when it's not your rights and life at risk.

neatchee,
@neatchee@urusai.social avatar

@matt5sean3 Because the violence won't happen here in Seattle. Sure there would be some. But the really heinous shit will happen elsewhere. I've seen people say "I'm trans and I won't vote for Biden even if it means Trump makes my life worse" and it's like fuck you Stacy you live in Seattle, you've already had your transition surgery, and you have thousands of trans allies in your neighborhood to support you. The teenager in Ohio just figuring shit out doesn't! Are you gonna go rescue him, Stacy? I thought not.

“I know, Sayaka... it sucks to be alone. Believe me, I know. But it's ok, now. 'Cause I’m here with you, Sayaka."

I think I vastly underrated the subplot of Kyoko Sakura and Sayaka Miki when I first watched Madoka Magica.

From the clashes of Sayaka's sense of justice and Kyoko's faith, to the way they inspired each other while not realizing it, to the way they almost save each other, and to the way they actually do... there was some really cool storytelling going on!

Y'all, @mc_frontalot is on the fediverse! How did I not know this?

I know I shouldn't be surprised given the man we're talking about but still, it makes me a little giddy

I'm sure he doesn't remember meeting me years and years ago at a show in NYC where I was working the booth that hosted him (GGn) but him and his crew were so genuine and down to earth and legitimately good people. I even wound up beatboxing on stage to fill some empty time between sets

If you're not familiar with nerdcore or front himself, it's worth checking out. I'm not even a hip-hop fan but his flow is so unique and lyrics so niche I can't help but love it

Beware the wolf in sheep's clothing

Beware the nationalist bigot who screams "antisemitism!" whenever their actions are questioned

Beware the opportunist bigot who screams "genocide!" when it allows them to express their hate, not protect the weak

Beware those who would use your sincerity and compassion as a mask for their evil

@askDNA Yeah, Howl is definitely my (and my wife's) favorite Ghibli film and Heron is a jumbled mess by comparison.

Let me know what you think of the English voice cast! Very curious

neatchee,

@askDNA cool! Glad to hear it was overall a good performance. Interesting that your wife reacted that way to Suzume; I always wonder when I react to English voices whether I'm biased by the JP depiction of the character so useful to know in this case that's not what happened.

I cannot get over the official Jellyfish wallscroll pre-order being the "thumbs up/heart meme" Kano and Mei pose

and that the account posted it when the Kano/Mahiru kiss episode dropped

It's the funniest thing ever to me for some reason xD this show is too online in just the right way

(https://twitter.com/yorukura_anime/status/1786953979374555269)

famous meme photo of an Asian girl giving a thumbs up standing in a dress and a smiling Asian guy next to her giving a half heart shape with his fingers and hand (expecting her to complete it) and oblivious that she didn't reciprocate
