check up on each other. not even the go-to people, check up on people you haven't thought about in years. follow your concern further back in your connections
Cobra Commander is, if I’m honest, kind of a piece of shit, but for some reason I find him charismatic.

This guy trolled the KKK by following their parade and playing dopey music with a sousaphone, and honestly it's the best thing.

Wamted: Snow plow service for Millennials and those with social or phone anxiety. Arrange online. Pay with PayPal, square, stripe, venmo, cash app. You could charge more for the service and make a killing.
America is a country that will sentence a 13 year old child to prison as an adult but will protect and support a teenage racist from criticism because “he’s a kid”.

Considering doing an email newsletter to stay in touch with people who I can’t drag away from Facebook but who still want updates on various projects.
The web suggests I use “tinyletter.com” which looks cool but is Mailchimp, and they are not exactly respectful of privacy.
Any suggestions for a #FOSS, self-hosted alternative? I run my own mail server so maybe a simple distribution list or the like?
I don’t need metrics/etc., just deliverability :)
Took the plunge and ordered a cheap laser cutter from eBay.
Expect to see a lot of posts from me trying to get it working soon.

"We're dying younger. That could be really good news for our employers"
We're past the, "Let them eat cake" moment in neofeudal capitalism. Now it's just, "Let them eat cyanide and opioids."
Realized tonight that perhaps my lack of enthusiasm to make anything stems from the fact that I’ve been talking myself out of working on things that I think are cool, but seem impractical or have no audience behind my own amusement.
I know better than to act that way, but it’s easy to forget when the world mostly encourages capitalism and all its trappings.

Remember: the red pill in "The Matrix" was based on estrogen pills. Any man who claims he's redpilled is symbolically becoming a trans woman. Facts not feelings, MRAs; if you don't like the facts, find a different metaphor.
