Thanks for putting this together and taking the time and energy to get our feedback.

As a musician this is both hilarious and amazing. The amount of awesome moments at shows where people clap and start speeding up and get so off and ruin the moment is just so damn high. Yay for Spain. The world needs to learn from you!

Thanks for everything you and the team do! And thanks to all users for contributing to this instance, and helping to make it as great as it is!

Hmm. I haven't taken him to be as scary as some of you. I agree with your assessment, in that his skill set in the wrong hands could be dangerous. But he is much different than trump. Most notably, he's not white, and the people he is courting actually do care about that, whether they admit it or not. Second, he does not have the name recognition or place in the American zeitgeist that trump had when he first ran. I saw someone mention he is probably angling to be a conservative pundit, which makes sense to me. He has to know that the conservative base will never embrace a brown person like him, so running seems like it's more about setting up a career for himself, rather than truly seeking the office. At any rate, he's insane and a truly dispicable person, so here's hoping he eats shit.

This is so true. I bought the anniversary collection years ago. When I went to play SF1 I was flabbergasted. It's legitimately terrible. Even by standards back then. Though, as someone who is a bit obsessed currently, I am so glad they kept up with it.

It's a pretty interesting scenario to imagine. What is bothersome is that I can't see a situation where it wouldn't lead to more right wing domestic terrorism. Which is just terrible, but almost seems inevitable next year no matter what happens really. Here is hoping we get through this with as little harm as possible.

Never encountered finadene, thanks so much for sharing! Looking forward to trying :)

Eternal Champions. Such a cool concept, a great cast of characters, and great graphics for the time. Spent so many hours playing it with my brothers growing up. Xavier was the fucking best.

Most of what I have read has said that our need for protein is incredibly overstated, and most Americans eat way too much. From what I understand, it's fiber that we need to eat more. I guess it goes without saying, but the takeaway is that nutrition is very complex and needs can vary greatly from person to person.

That's a pretty spicy date. Mostly, I'm happy they didn't schedule it for 2026 like they've been asking.

Stay defederated. On top of all the great points already made, I don't understand people demanding instances behave a certain way. If you don't like the way this instance is handled go find another one.

That last bit about pardons only being available 5 years after serving the punishment is great to hear.

Am I the only one who thinks it's rude to just ask someone for a hit off a joint like that? Been to lots of festivals and shows, and been offered plenty of things, but never once thought to go ask someone for a piece of whatever they are enjoying. Seems pretty presumptuous to me? Maybe it's more common in other parts of the world though.

My health. I am so unbelievably fortunate to have a baseline of good health. Both physical and mental.

Agreed! And I wouldn't mind purchasing one :)

Going camping for a friend's bday Thursday through Saturday in Malibu Creek State Park! Verrrrry excited as I've been wanting to go camping so bad, it's been a few years since I've gone and it's such a crucial reset for me. I think it has to do with growing up and camping a lot. Lots of memories to rekindle, lots of moments for reflection and processing. Anyways, hope you all have a great weekend!

I enjoyed squabblr at first but the dev has already made terrible choices so I'm not into it. The community is good though, so that's a bummer. Raddle is insane. They are leftist fascists. I'm super left, but a bunch of teenagers pining for anarchy is absurd. Its so clear that most of them don't know what they are talking about in the slightest. I noped out of there quickly.

I'm honestly shocked you've never heard a candidate for mayor called power hungry. If you spend more time in political spaces you will definitely hear it. I've heard people sling the claim of power hungry at people going for schoolboard, many times. I think the perception at a national level translates to when people engage at the local level, when and if they ever do. So, like, immediately I guess?

Yes, maize is subsidized, and yes, the majority is turned into corn syrup. Culturally, there has been a shift away from corn syrup so lots of products popping up using sugar instead (cuz, ya know, that's so much better). But the products with corn syrup are right next to them, and people usually can't afford the newer "less processed" alternatives.
