Just your typical internet guy with questionable humor
The migration that happened from xitter being blocked in Brazil is a good example of a bandwagon effect, or “people go where people are”. If xitter wasn’t taken down, neither bluesky nor threads would’ve received such a big and immediate influx.
Also worth noting is that the vast majority went for those 2, bluesky more so than threads, instead of any mastodon instance because those 2 are the mainstream alternatives

How do we get “normies” to adopt the Fediverse?
We don’t. Normies take one look at anything that isn’t mainstream and pinch their noses. A significant portion of them can barely make a search on the internet, they get lost at the idea of “websites” and are likely heavily biased against people who aren’t using what “everyone is using”
Anedoctal experience: back when I was using dating apps, I’ve had a fair share of girls that stopped talking to me once I said I didn’t have instagram, because it meant I was “hiding something”.
It sure is easy to grift squeenix out of their money nowadays, eh? I think I’ll start some new blockchain project, market it to whoever’s their CEO, get rich and get out.
MULTI-TRACK DRIFTING!?
The algorithm is working as intended.
Skin care was not on Mia’s radar until she started eighth grade last fall. It was a topic of conversation among girls her age — at school and on social media. Girls bonded over their skin care routines.
The beauty industry has been cashing in on the trend. Last year, consumers under age 14 drove 49% of drug store skin sales, according to a NielsonIQ report that found households with teens and tweens were outspending the average American household on skin care.
What the fucking fuck are parents doing? Encouraging this shit?
I really recommend everyone to read the article. Shit somehow only gets worse
Not only is the asshole a rapist, he also tried to drown one of his sons because said son confronted him after catching mr “model citizen” with his hands on one of the daughters’ private parts.
Those reunification therapy sessions? The mother has to pay the $370 per week alone when it’s just her 2 sons attending. There was also one session:
She said she checked on her children during the session and found one of her sons curled in a fetal position on the ground in Bassett’s office, but Bassett ordered her to stop addressing what the mother termed the serious needs of her children.
She said she fears the reunification therapy is harming her boys, whom she described as crying uncontrollably, having explosive outbursts and expressing thoughts of self-harm after attending Bassett’s reunification sessions with their father.
Ms. Basset, the “reunification therapist”, deserves some jail time as well
That’s exactly the kind of thing that I need, just a shame I need to have a texture on the polygon and, code as is, it offsets the texture a lot compared to the polygon’s center. While not “ideal”, I can probably work with this, though creating anything other than squares will be quite a pain if I don’t use large textures, due to the zoom level of Godot’s UV editor
I’ll mess around and see if I can get it to work as I want until a more definitive solution shows up, thanks!

We need millions of minutely active users.
Why? So they can satisfy your need for content and save you from boredom?
Eh, it’s not like much happened between 2007 and now, maybe just a couple of updates

Why not give (Common)LISP a try?
No, but I remember one with some green aliens, a naked girl and dogs protecting said girl.
Decentralized governments: already a reality in most places, with a clear hierarchy (federal, state/province, city). Local communities aren’t always formed, but can coexist
Decentralized power sources: kinda there already? The thing is that it makes more sense economically to have a small number of big power plants than spread then thinly, especially due to industry needs that can be much larger than what residential lines typically transmit
Decentralized market: I mean, open fairs and small, corner markets are still a thing, no? Or what kind of market do you mean?
Decentralized currency: crypto kinda does that? There’s no central authority issuing whatever-coins. In more real-life terms, decentralized currency is deeply tied to local economy and you can look at history for how something like that used to work: small kingdoms almost always wanted to mint their own coins, then whenever conducting trade with external markets, some exchange rates would be set based on supply/demand.
