re: meta about predatory behaviour 

@SoniEx2@chaos.social @mynameistillian I've seen the same happen, yeah.

independent games retailer (read: 90% funko pops by volume) finds something more horrifying to fill the space with

meta about predatory behaviour 

@mynameistillian Yes, but also: teach *adults* how to reliably recognize problematic power dynamics and behaviours from other adults.

This shouldn't just be the responsibility of minors, and an embarrassing amount of predatory behaviour takes place publicly, just nobody realized the issue.

And often I can't help but feel that it gets missed so easily because it doesn't look so different from predatory behaviour targeting other adults, which for some reason is entirely socially acceptable in many places.

@breaadyboy ... and I wish that more people would think about the actually disastrous consequences that that could have for everyone involved :|

excluding minors from a space simply because you think they are immature / annoying is a great way to get them to lie about their age

if i wouldn't be allowed to use internet before i turned 18 i wouldn't realize that being queer is okay or being a furry is okay or that there are problems in the world that we need to solve

or that i wanna become an artist and a filmmaker

it's almost like all of these people think that everybody has a healthy nonbigoted family that respects their space and doesn't isolate them and it's naïve as hell

Remember! Document and open source your protocols and hardware.

or we'll do it for you >:3

Apparently Epic Games removed all of their games from GOG...

Watching a mutual change their pronouns is like watching a Pokemon evolve

@futurebird

In looking through old screenshots, this one from Twitter a few years ago made me think of you.

I hope you have a great holiday!

Okay so phone... We need to learn that my back is not my face. Why my phone just tried to face ID when I literally had my back to it is something I will never understand. I will also never understand why it can do that, but also sometimes completely ignore the fact that my, you know, actual face, is right in front of it.

Right then. The #CrossBorderRail Board Game prototype is ready!

All the info here:
crossborderrail.trainsforeurop

You can download the files for the board, cards, rules, and there are printing instructions too.

Try it out and tell me what you think!

EDIT: PDF, ODT and DOCX files now available for all the game docs

@jon That border connection at Haparanda/Tornio seems very optimistic :) Or did they finally get around to reopening that line segment?

@Dee The fate of so many hierarchical organizations, unfortunately

I wonder if Mozilla is, by now, just really good at using the assumption that there's always going to be people complaining to ignore how unpopular the things they get up to are

@bananas The toddler-level excuses they've come up with barely constitute a single 'story' in their totality, tbh
