it's called a script or a book or a film or a play or a video or god knows what else but it is NOT content, jesus christ.

it's such an odorless colorless word

"how to turn a boring moment from your life into content" it's called a story. it's called a fucking story

why don't phones have a passive RFID chip you can write e-tickets to when it's still powered on?

I'll keep using my plastic cards for train tickets :^)

In Baarn: Grote groep tegen de NVU. Heel veel smeris. Poging tot uitbraak om lopen NVU te verhinderen werd terug geknuppeld. Weglopen aan andere kant verhinderd smeris en romeo's. Nu ingesloten. Ook ME met schilden. Veel leuzen. Nazi scum off our streets!

Your friendly occasional reminder that, if you want to read an academic paper but it’s paywalled, you can email the author and they are allowed to send you a pdf. You can’t imagine how delighted they will generally be to think that someone actually wants to read their work.

Gonna need you not to drag the intellectually disabled/delayed into your rants about people who are actually evil.

The intellectually impaired community didn't break the government.

Fascists broke the government.

Call them fascists.

Also, if you want to argue with me about it... don't.

Today is not the day. You may not give a shit about people different than you but if that's true, please block me. Seriously.

Huh, interesting. Looks like some of the vocabulary downloads from the Library of Congress have shrunk a little bit. Might be nothing, but I have a snapshot of it all from last week and I'm currently downloading a new snapshot so once that's done I'll compare and we shall see what we shall see.

i have received information that one of my friends who went to Furnal Equinox got their antifa furry patches confiscated because the con director said that they were "promoting antifa" and they nearly got banned from the con.

is there any kind of furry or adjacent press that i can talk to about this to spread the word?

furnal equinox are making a big mistake. they're openly deciding to cozy up to fascism at this point

i don’t mind people who use “how are you” as filler because, you know, even if they’re expecting a non answer i still have freedom to drive that any direction i want

but people who say “how’s it going” walking by without slowing down

what

that's certainly one way you could do this, Valve

Edit: I have signed a lease on a place that seems pretty close to ideal! So many friends within a 2.5 km radius! 🎉

I'm looking for an apartment in #Ottawa and I would like to ask the community for help.

I'm an excellent tenant. I've never missed a rent payment. I’m quite quiet, except I do on occasion like to sing.

My absolutely ideal setup would be:
- in Centretown / Little Italy / Hintonburg (within walking distance of many friends),
- tenant control over HVAC (including a/c, because I overheat),
- dishwasher and microwave and space for more kitchen appliances (so I can cook and share),
- two bedrooms (so I can host people on occasion, e.g. if there is a power outage elsewhere).

If we're getting crazy fanciful, I would love to have access to a tiny garden and space for a solar battery.

The reason I'm asking the community for help is because I'm having a lot of trouble with corporate landlords. Many of them, experienced tenants advise against. Some landlords say they have available units but refuse to answer phone calls or emails. Some may be perfectly nice but my life circumstances don't fit within their corporate forms and therefore I'm out of luck. (This is a recurring #ActuallyAutistic experience.)

I would love to find a long-term rental from someone who appreciates a reliable if somewhat unusual tenant.

Need a hopeful story? 22 students at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, 4 years ago, set out to "really inspire people and the market and society to accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable future. What we’re trying to do is to show people and show companies what’s already possible.”

So they made a #solarpunk campervan fully equipped with living essentials including a double bed, sofa, kitchen area and a bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet. It can fit two people, who can drive, cook breakfast and watch television using just the vehicle’s solar-charged battery.

Then they took it on a tour of Europe driving 1,200 miles without stopping for fuel or plugging in to charge. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/stella-vita-solar-campervan-netherlands-spc-intl/index.html
