It's all extremely embarrassing.
Such cringe. The dude is barely conscious.
From what I understand, "whispers" were what private messages were called on twitch. And it's "then existing," I don't use twitch, but I guess it doesn't exist anymore, that's what they mean. Pretty poor wording though, don't blame you for not knowing what the hell they mean.
The trending page is horrible on mastodon. I wish they'd implement some better discovery features, but the devs seem to think that a better user experience would mean they're just as bad as twitter or something. I'm so rarely tempted to use it.
My cousin only gets the ugliest, most fucked up looking dogs, and I'll never understand it
LOL I think you're fine, people need to unlearn needing an /s tag
Lmfao not a straw man in sight in my comment. Do you know what a straw man is? I asked a simple question to expand on your position, and you dodged and mocked me (in three separate comments) because I guess you had a bad day. Eat a dick.
Lmfao nice non-answer (or several)
What did she accomplish by escalating the situation? Other than making your caveman brain go "hehe"
Yeah everyone sucks here
Whatever
Guys I'm sorry but I don't know who this is, and after looking her up I still have no idea who she is. Why are y'all specifically following her to be haters? Seems like a lot of energy spent over nothing. Like who tf cares?
If they aren't doing any work, how is the manager (who is presumably making much more than the employee in question) completely unaware of this without IT monitoring services intervention?
I hear that India is fun for parties and weddings, but also that it's extremely dirty and a dangerous place to visit. I'm a man, but I especially wouldn't want to be a white woman visiting, I've seen videos of how they'll stare with no regard for how she feels - Indian men have a very poor reputation when it comes to how they act towards European/US women.
Ahhh okay, now I can see it. Thanks for the info!
Lmfao SO many games that were never meant to run on Linux work perfectly well on my machine, some better than windows. He's just throwing a hissy fit because Linux won't allow kernel level malware - I mean anti-cheat. What a dickhead. Apex is a better game anyway.
Okay?
Yeah I'm not arguing that deplatforming doesn't work, I just think the highly improbable boat story is silly to even address.
Lol as much as this is a fun larp, and reddit did take too long to ban them, I'm not partial to taking random twitter/mastodon/<insert social media> discourse as gospel. I think it's goofy when conservatives do it, and I think it's goofy here.
Gettin real goddamn tired of dogs
I like dogs like I like toddlers. It's fun to hang out with other people's for a while, but ultimately they're annoying, loud, and make a mess. I feel like in the past 10 years or so, dog owners have become increasingly convinced that everyone thinks their slobbering, untrained mutt is god's gift to everyone, and expects everyone to love it unconditionally. Dogs in restaurants. Dogs in stores when you go shopping. "Oh it's so funny that your dog is jumping on me and getting it's dirty paws all over me while it tries to sniff my crotch." "Oh oops! Your dog ate my food off the counter, fucking again. Guess that's my fault because in this house nothing is safe from the coddled fucking dog." "Hey man can you watch the dog? It's really easy, not like it pisses all over the floor and knocks the trash over or anything. We have to leave the house for 2 hours and it has anxiety/depression/borderline personality disorder and he's a wittle special boy who needs constant attention."
I'm just tired of it. Nobody gives a goddamn about your stupid dog. Stop bringing your animal to restaurants, it's disgusting and inconsiderate. It's not your child, it's a dog. Dog people have made me hate dogs.
Brand new baby DM, just wanted to post somewhere because I'm excited (minor DOSWI spoilers)
I've always been interested in trying the game, but didn't know anyone who could DM. I became really interested in playing a few months ago, and decided, fuck it, I'll do it myself. I just ran Dragons of Stormwreck Isle last night with a few friends, all of us completely brand new to D&D. I hit one snag where a player was prying for more information about Varnoth's history. They rolled really well, and Varnoth isn't necessarily guarded about her past, but I had NOTHING more to give them. The module had no more history, and I don't know the world well, so just trying to make up some lore on my feet was really difficult. I tried to give more jargon, didn't sound great, and just ended up making her tell the player that there wasn't much more to say, and that she'd moved on from that time in her life. This stuck out to me as a failure on my part, but after the session, I told the player about how it looked from my end and they didn't seem to have noticed that I was fumbling. They just assumed I had everything out in front of me. So I guess the improv was decent enough, and least for my completely inexperienced players. Anyone have tips on what to do when a player wants more information that an NPC should know, but it isn't something you'd prepared for?
I'll have to learn the rules a little better (the first encounter with the zombies featured 5 minutes of me leafing through the PHB because I ran into an important mechanic I didn't quite understand), and I should probably prep the story a little better too, but I'm beyond pleased at how successful the session was. Everyone had a great time and wants to keep playing. It was a ton of fun improvising and creating a fun goofy story together with my buds. Just very happy to have this new fun creative thing to do with my friends and want to share that joy. I'd really like to create my own stories eventually, but it does seem very daunting.
Anyway, thanks so much for all of your help! Reading through posts in this community has been invaluable to learning how to play and DM.
Working great so far!!!
Not posting from the app obviously since submissions aren't supported just yet, but the app is otherwise awesome so far!!! Really well done ljdawson, just wanted to make this post to say thank you. I signed up for sync ultra right away.
[Meta] Hashtags to follow for good shitposting/meme/humor content?
I don't think it's any secret that there's a bit of a stuffy vibe on Mastodon. Does anyone have recommendations for hashtags they follow that pull more lighthearted content into their feed?
Are any tools still available to migrate followers from Twitter to Mastodon?
Or have I missed the train on this? I know services like twitodon.com were available to find users on Mastodon that an account is following on Twitter. But it looks like with the API goofiness, those services are shut down. Is there any way to do this now?
The Wand is amazing
I've had a model M for a couple years, and I was using the Orion 2 induction heater for maybe a year. I've always been disappointed with the Orion. Heating is too fast and uneven, and a torch has always been superior to it. BUT I just recently bought the omnivap along with the Wand, and good god. It's fantastic. Just as effective as a torch, I can just stick the vape in and let it heat up, it's such a huge upgrade. I've been using the Mighty from Storz and Bickel for years, but the Wand honestly might make the omnivap my new daily desktop vape. Highly recommend.
Are there any Twitter mirrors that still work?
Basically, title. I'm trying to follow some of my favorite accounts on Twitter through mastodon since it would make transitioning much easier, but I can't find a Twitter mirror that actually displays any posts. Did I just miss the train on this?
Community Blocklist?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I can't seem to find the answer online. Is there any way for the users of an instance to see which communities have been blocked by the instance? I know we can see the instance blocklist, I'm interested in the community blocklist.
