Hey Mastodon! We're officially choosing to fork away from #Fandom for a variety of reasons, including excessive #advertising, a bloated platform, the #Grimace / #McDonaldsWiki controversy, and general dissatisfaction with the UI, UX, and DevEx of Fandom's platform.

The administration of the wiki is currently discussing what comes next.

Boosts are greatly appreciated; we do not have a lot of publicity.

Vervelend hè? Dat er vandaag weer demonstranten op de A12 stonden. En dat ze er morgen weer staan. En overmorgen. Elke dag. Ja, vervelend, toch?

Weet je wat vervelend is? Dat er vandaag weer € 125.000.000 aan fossiele subsidies worden verstrekt van belastinggeld. En morgen weer € 125.000.000 belastinggeld. En overmorgen weer € 125.000.000 belastinggeld . En elke dag daarna weer € 125.000.000 belastinggeld.

My partner has been getting bloody cuts from one of my pots.. and after a deep dive through the internet and my pots and pans drawer I've discovered that several premium brands of pots leave multi-ply edges un-welded. The result? After years of putting them in the dishwasher (which they claim to be rated for) the aluminum layer corrodes and recedes, leaving razor-sharp stainless edges sticking out. Here are some photos so you know what to look for when buying pots.

i am dying inside after learning that this app, for booking train tickets, has lootboxes

this is Entirely Unnecessary. nobody asked for this.

The older I get the more I see the appeal of becoming a weird witch living deep in the woods with no one but their black cat and a toad adopted from the nearby bog.

I'm in the process of recovering my belongings after being thrown out of/forced to flee my home. Does anyone here know how I would go about getting my stuff back from my abusive parents? They're forced to give it to me legally speaking right? But even if they gave it to me, I have no clue what to do from there on, since I don't have a driving license either. I'm kinda lost and thinking about this makes my head hurt. Please tell me what to do if you have experience with these kinds of situations.
For legal stuff: I'm an adult and live in Germany.

begging European institutions giving a list of "national competent authorities" to also explain what the appropriate country is. hello, I'm your edge case.

People who tend towards worry need to have spaces where they can play. They need to be insulated from consequences, either by giving someone else responsibility, or by working on toy projects with no consequences.

Conversely, those who are playful even when seriousness is called for, need to be put in situations where they are accountable for repairing unexpected harms.

Everyone deserves both the freedom of play and the meaning that comes from doing impactful, consequence-rich work.

Who plays and who worries often falls along lines of privilege. The boss tends to play where the subordinate tends to worry. The man tends to play where the woman tends to worry. The white person tends to play where the person of color tends to worry.

Privilege insulates you from consequences and allows you to play. A lack of privilege makes you hyper-aware of consequences and forces you to worry.

Our culture tends to lionize the people who take risks and get shit done. But risk-takers cannot succeed without the labor of all those who worry over and absorb the consequences of those risks.

Behind every successful player is a long line of burned out worriers who've been told they're not succeeding because they're not being brave enough, not taking enough risks.

We need to create communities where Player and Worrier are roles that people take on, consciously and temporarily.

Proposal: stop saying stuff like "we're destroying the planet" and change it to "they're destroying the planet", to pivot away from self blame when most of us don't have the power to change things and definitely would if we could, and towards laying the blame squarely on the elites propping up the fossil fuel industry so we can focus our collective anger on those actually responsible
