  • Just a friendly reminder that text transcriptions of images help everybody. They help make the fediverse accessible to visually impaired users, obviously. But they can also help users on small screens where reading small text in an image may be difficult.

    The show's immersive and couldn't find a moment that break it other than the fact I get piped by hatchie's friends every once in a while which makes me happy seeing him enjoy something in his life for once

    This show is so good! I had a great time watching even though I was interrupted each time Hatchie shit himself and needed a diaper change.

    I think this show is awesome. I know Hatchie personally and he has an addiction to prostitutes and ben and jerrys so his minds a little funky, but hes doing his best.

    So fuckin overrated!


  • My take is that it fundamentally does not matter whether you support Hamas or not. Their actions were an inevitable response to the oppression Israel has placed them under for decades. Not to mention Israel directly undermining Palestinian stability and democracy by intentionally funding Hamas to undermine less radical Palestinian leaders.

    No, if Hamas are terrorists, they’re stochastic terrorists created by Israel. Blaming them for starting the genocide doesn’t make a lot of sense.








  • Some even have sinks in each stall so you can go from wiping your ass straight to washing your hands

    See, I emphatically do not want that.

    If I could rely on everyone else washing their hands properly it would be great. But I don’t want to have to touch the stall door that has Aleppo been touched by people who haven’t washed their hands after I’ve washed mine. I want the hand washing to be the very last thing I do before exiting, preferably via a push door that I can push with my foot or in a spot that fewer other people would push it.


  • Why would someone on a help desk be expected to know what POST is? A software engineer, sure, but helpdesk? If it’s needed knowledge…that’s what training is for. Businesses’ expectation that people will come into the job already knowing exactly how you do things and never require on-the-job training is absurd.




  • Fear the Boot, an unfortunately infrequent but excellent RPG discussion podcast. Don’t let the absurd name put you off, the discussions are top notch.

    Origin Story, a really great podcast going in to the history of things. Mostly political ideologies (a recent episode was entitled “the myth of cultural Marxism — anatomy of a conspiracy theory”, for example, but their episodes on Neoliberalism and Centrism were also excellent), but also often political figures (the scathing review of Ayn Rand was very amusing, and the more recent Elon Musk episodes were rather enlightening), and the occasional lighter one (like the origin of Super Heroes and more recently Doctor Who). It’s a podcast with few enough episodes and a slow enough release schedule (they do a few episodes one per week, then take a long season break) that it’s really worth going back through the archives to listen to older episodes.
