Hey guys, since I am arguably much more active on bluesky than I am on here, I am testing an automated account that will mirror my content over. It is also federated, so technically you SHOULD be able to comment on my posts, and I should be able to see it--
>>> @kimhu.bsky.social
It might be a bit janky, as it is still in Beta and all that, but if you are interested in more shenanigans than just the occasional art, you might want to give it a follow.
@kimhu still more reliable than me remembering to check blue sky. Appreciate the effort and heads up! Good seeing your ridiculousness with more regularity!
@RecDiffs in the vein of “how does water get from the tap to your face?”, I just happened upon this on Facebook. OP was put off by his in-laws’ dishwashing method. He would wash and then rinse, they’d only wash then let air-dry. I do the same so was surprised that a significant portion of comments scoffed at rinsing. Apparently largely cultural, esp. Australians living under water restrictions, but (anecdotally) rinsing seems to be more of an American thing?
@daringfireball as soon as I started reading I thought “this is going to sound just like the AirPods case.”
Green must be fine, right?
Yellow is probably dire but sometimes fine?
Flashing yellow has GOT to be bad.
@Alice my wife and I were really evenly matched in Words With Friends (née Scrabble). Then we started playing Scramble and she’d obliterate me with medical terms. Hilariously humiliating, unrepentant destruction.
@daringfireball I appreciate that entire instances can be blocked if they’re a problem, plus if somebody finds themself on a sketchy instance they can migrate to another, keeping their lists, history, and potentially their name.
If I ever encounter John Mellencamp in public, I’m going to need to buy up all of the hotdogs in the vicinity because I don’t think I’d recover from seeing him sucking on a chili dog.
I've been getting overwhelmed with keeping up with my timeline and lists weren't helping, so I've started to pare down my following list to something more manageable.
I'm only mentioning this because I know I personally get bummed when people unfollow me because I think I did something wrong, so I want everyone to know this wasn't about them or anything they did.
To be honest, I pretty much just went through the list and looked for the people who I interact with frequently and/or whose names/avatars I recognized and unfollowed the rest.
It killed me to do it, but it was necessary to help ease the anxiety I've been feeling every time I load my timeline and see thousands of unread posts.
I know this process isn't perfect, so I promise that I'll start re-following as we interact more and hope that you understand and will hang in there with me!
@Alice I was only able to follow about 100 people on the bird app because I read my whole timeline. Any more than that and I’d get overwhelmed and unfollowing somebody would give me anxiety.
Pretty sure @KevBot is going to divorce me when he sees that I posted a photo of his butt on Mastodon and also compared it to that of Scarlett Johansson.
@Alice@KevBot I’m so literal minded and susceptible to suggestion that the simple fact that you listed him before her had me thinking he was the top photo despite the title card. So all I could think was “Honestly? Fair.”
I was texting with my friend and she was typing pussy ¹ but I was interpreting it as pussy ² and, let me tell you, a misunderstanding like that can get real weird real fast.
I just released a really important Apollo update that adds the ability for users with remaining subscription time left to decline an automatic refund. Devs pay refunds out of pocket, and this will be about $250K, so I thank you for your consideration. ❤️
Also, this update includes an amazing "Goodbye Apollo Wallpaper Set” for your phone, tablet, or desktop, created by outrageously talented Apollo icon designers. You can unlock the pack with a donation that helps with refund costs. 🙂
I'm not a stellar chef, but I've made a lot of "family favorites" for many years. IMO the things that really shine are fresh-baked breads. Make anything breadlike, from scratch, and your friends/family will scream.
