  • If you’re not a leftist, then I don’t want to talk to you anyway.

  • A lot of us have tried out Mastodon and it seems like a pretty great alternative to both Reddit and Twitter, due to the user base.

    I do wish it handled threads better though. It’s still as screwed up as Twitter when it comes to that.

  • DeArrow

    OMG This makes Youtube useable!!! Honestly, it just relieved so much anxiety for me.

  • Mastodon searches just fine, but it’s limited to just your instance, I believe.

  • Someone listened to the Behind the Bastards episode on him that was put out recently!

  • Prozac helped tremendously. Seriously though, without it I wouldn't be here. So I'm thankful for doctors and drugs that actually work and which can make you feel better about merely existing for the time being, and enable you to enjoy what little pleasures you may be lucky enough to have.

    I rejoice in the fact that my kids still want to give me hugs.

    I have faith in my childrens' ability for compassion, and am proud of how they and their fellow kids at school demonstrate that compassion for each other. Their generation is infinitely better than ours was. They're just nicer people. And that's what truly gives me hope.

  • There was a restaurant in Lahaina called Cheeseburger in Paradise. (Not owned by him, but still.)

  • I think the Lahaina fire destroying that place killed his will to live.

  • Visual Effects checking in.

    Although I hope it doesn’t go the way the rest of the entertainment industry has, where the company colludes with the union leadership and negotiates essentially a freelance gig style of work, where you are just a day-hire and can be dropped off the schedule at a moment’s notice, and have no healthcare coverage or retirement.

  • Rule of the internet: If you want to know the true answer to a question, confidently post the wrong answer and inevitably someone who knows will reply to correct you.

  • Fuckin’ amazing.

  • Technically, just Paul Hogan:

    "Shrimp on the barbie" is a phrase that originated in a series of television advertisements by the Australian Tourism Commission broadcast in the US and UK starring Paul Hogan from 1984 through to 1990.[1][2] The full quote spoken by Hogan is "I'll slip an extra shrimp on the barbie for you", and the actual slogan of the ad was "Come and say G'day". It has since been used, along with some variations, to make reference to Australia in popular culture, however the phrase is rarely actually used in Australia. Very few use the word 'shrimp' in Australia (the word most commonly used is 'prawn') and the phrase is often perceived as American.
