   Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone?

   Yep that’s exactly my experience as well. I really am bracing myself for when they make categories a premium feature or put a limit on how many feeds I can have or something nasty like that… but meanwhile, they’re just fine.

   The way I frame this for myself is - just get the stupid solutions out of the way first. Do them so you can see how dumb they are, and move on to the better ones. And that comes with the proviso that sometimes, the stupid solution is actual

   It’s a very particular style of prose so I can see why you might have a strong negative reaction, but - honestly I have the opposite reaction. The narrator doesn’t sound like a man whose morals I much respect - but the way the story is writ

   Shit I’ve never played in the snow, seems like it’d be real easy to lose your discs!

    I mean there are times where I feel like I’m so familiar with the variables involved or so fixated on observing everything that I can make very good guesses about the sort of thing that might happen next - but that isn’t the same as know

    God I already resent how much discord is a thing in the present, I really hope it’s not the future. Using a chat app as a forum / social network just doesn’t work for me.

    Good fan art is neither sub-par nor copy - what it ultimately is is derivative , generally in the sense that relies on the audience’s prior experience with the source material. You don’t have to go to all the trouble to establish and intro

    Honestly yes. I believe once I create art and present it to the public, it belongs to humanity. I would be honored if someone else took my art as a jumping off point to inspire their own. I would have my own opinions about its quality of co

    Call it out, and employ an n-strikes-process - after you’ve given a particular user a chance to get their act together, simply block them. Now they will no longer waste your time, and in time all you will have left are the users worth remai

    Yeah I think the point is not to pretend that white men werent involved - it’s that by default when people picture that corps all they see is white men. The point is to highlight the actual diversity of the corps, rather than defaulting t

    Well yeah there’s a point to be made isnt there? Anti polish racism isn’t really a thing in America nowadays - homophobia on the other hand, embarrassingly alive and kicking.

    I’m not a fan of the tone of this piece, and it’s pretty dull listening to the author get excited about shilling for this new phone and then find out it’s kind of useless over and over, only to rate it using some silly made up scale. Like i

    Ten years ago I would’ve scoffed and said the rest of the world wouldn’t let it happen Now, having seen what Russia and Israel are being allowed to get away with, I guess you can just invade and commit war crimes whenever you feel like it.
