And another Fediblock polluter goes into the blocklist

"I was given some advice before making it into Parliament - to not take anything personally or it'll eat you up."

"In only a couple of weeks, in only 14 days, this Government has attacked my whole world from every corner."

"Health, taiao (environment), wai (water), whenua (land), natural resources, Māori wards, reo, tamariki. How can I not take anything personally when it feels like these policies were made about me?"

"I am not fearful of this place, or this debating chamber."

"I was perfectly fine growing my kūmara and learning maramataka (Māori lunar calendar), but this House kept tampering with things they shouldn't be touching, and that's why I left the māra (garden) to come here."

-- Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke (NZ MP for Hauraki-Waikato, and the youngest NZ MP to serve in 130 years)

for the last few months i've been giving out the fake email "fuckzuck@fb.com" to marketing databases when required to enter something on a wlan captive portal

International ticket planning is like "well, if you go in the direction of Austria for 30 minutes, you're gonna be in Poland one hour earlier"

@Rairii it's so weird watching obscenely rich people compete to do something others have already done for free with no money

Dismantle capitalism! Establish gay space communism with blackjack and sex workers that are paid fairly and treated with respect!

Friendly reminder that you should never expect someone to pay for your food on a first date regardless of gender unless you explicitly agreed on that beforehand

what is especially frustrating is that we literally, across languages and cultures, have this saying that the least trustworthy people are politicians

so why do people just regurgitate politicians' words like they're fact!?

Show thread

the place where this becomes extra relevant is in things like press releases, where people take folks' words for things way more often since there's this inherent trust to something being said in person, which, does not actually exist

it often manifests in this sort of "clearly the (president/politician/corporate executive) wouldn't tell an obvious lie" and uh,

yes, they would actually, and rather often too

Show thread

honestly the biggest failing of modern society is convincing people that the internet is where people lie

people lie in real life, actually. and way more often, since on the internet there are way more people to see and scrutinise your words

Like, "is it worth the overhead to do community governance for this project" is a legitimate point of discussion, but also when that discussion *has already been had and concluded* years ago, and you don't even make an attempt to improve the governance process...

"Community governance costs energy, so let's just make top-down decisions instead!"

If you intend to keep masto away from paid advertisements, might I suggest welcoming sex workers with wide arms 😌

Credit card companies and advertisers hate us!!

OpenCola reminds me of the work I did making my own Club Mate clone, including a delicious sugar free Club Mate clone.

The one thing I never cracked was Club Mate Winter Edition.

Maybe this is worth turning into a project?

ponderings about trauma and parenting 

I can't help but wonder whether the widespread cycle of "trauma and abuse passed down through the generations" might have something to do with our collective insistence that children be raised by exactly one (1) set of parents, who generally have not yet learned to process their own trauma and receive no outside support
