Hi, I’m Noah. I’m a dad to a lovely kiddo I will always refer to as “the zergling” in the interest of letting them choose whether they want their life on the internet or not. All opinions here are obviously my own and definitely not from one of the three ferrets who take turns as the captain of my brain-ship. I post about technology, politics, racism, food, games, etc. I’m all over the map. When I had free time I played #ttrpg. Nowadays, Final Fantasy XIV as time permits. #nobridge

Homophobia, Transphobia, it’s all so ridiculous honestly. Folks getting all kinds of spun up about who has a penis, who has a vagina, who sticks what in where, who licks what and where, who chooses to not stick anything anywhere. If the bigots and their bigotry didn’t have such a terrible and hateful impact on the lives of people I love and care about, it’d honestly just come off as sadly jealous that everyone is having such a good time. Hell, maybe that’s the real root of it. Freedom Envy.

I’ll admit, I did have my suspicions

@Binder I can picture it now. "Hey Harald, I need an 8 letter word for 'an activity the sjókona enjoy. Sixth letter is an œ."

I never thought I could hate something as much as I hate lactose at this moment. 🧻

@Mrfunkedude That sounds udderly awful. I hope you find a whey out of the bathroom soon but if not, may the time be legendairy at least.

Sorry, not mocking at all, I'm a long time IBS sufferer and lover of all puns (and most dairy). Laughter by far has helped the time and everything else pass more quickly when food banishes me to the porcelain realm.

Loperamide and simethicone can help but honestly it's probably best to just get it out of your system. I hope it's over quickly for you.

In today's episode of, 'Don't legislate your religion on me...'

Pope clears way for 'God's influencer' to become a saint

15-year-old web designer, archiver, whose proficiency at spreading the teachings of the Catholic church online led to him being called "God's influencer" - will be the first millennial sainted

He died from acute promyelocytic leukemia in 2006

His corpse is on display in a glass casket in a Catholic church

@paul Catholicism is one of the strangest Role Playing Games I've ever seen played. The Player's Handbook makes zero sense and the Dungeon Master's Guide is just rife with cheats and workarounds. They need to rebalance the gameplay at some point, clerics and paladins are just way too powerful and any other spellcaster gets completely screwed by each new revision.

Tempted to make Linux my full time OS but I just spent $40 on a windows app.

@Mrfunkedude I took the plunge at the beginning of the pandemic and it was definitely an experience. I've been a Linux sys admin for 25 years so I figured I was well positioned to take the plunge. Because I'm a gamer I was running games through WINE and then eventually through a Windows KVM VM using PCI passthrough. Both required a lot of babysitting and in the end I finally went back to Windows. The MS AI initiative may push me back to Linux again but it's not without its faults as well.

Tell me the story of the last time you committed an act of kindness in 500 characters or less.

There’s nothing wrong with bragging about creating kindness. There’s nothing honorable about not sharing the joy of creating kindness.

We need to uplift and encourage people who create kindness in their daily lives.

So tell us your story. It doesn’t have to be something big. It can be something as simple as helping someone carry a bag of groceries.

How did you create kindness this week?

@Mrfunkedude Not the last time but still one of my favorite stories. A friend, a British ex-pat was excited to finally be seeing Howard Jones and then she broke her ankle and had to cancel. I emailed his website hoping maybe he saw those messages, asking if he ever did Cameo and if I might be able to purchase a moment of his time to say hello to her. I woke up the next day to an email from him with a recording attached wishing her well and a speedy recovery and hopes to see her at his next show.
