Poor lizard. I hope you managed to free it from Kimchi!

My cat just meows at bugs until I come see mostly.

He will assault lizards unfortunately(I had one somehow get inside, I tried to save him but it was too late).

He also decided to assault a spider after he realized I was comfortable with it.

As someone that’s been stalked twice before the flock cameras are terrifying. I’ve always been taught to keep my head down and avoid attracting attention but it just seems inevitable these days that someone is going to do this.

If that’s what it takes to get regulation for them I suppose.

Trying to be open minded and accept people who are willing to change their views here, but it is very, very hard not to be bitter.

It’s also very hard to believe that people can change at all.

Yeah it’s difficult convincing people due to sunken cost.

You could be chatting on a better platform that offers everything discord offers for free but you’d have to convince your friends and the servers you frequent to all move.

It’s not about the platform itself as much as it’s about the communities that are all already there.

Even the one person I know who is terrified of losing her account and preemptively set up alternatives on other platforms still won’t leave until something forces her.

It’ll be both good and bad if it happens.

While it’ll be great for the threadiverse to have more growth it will inevitably put us in the crosshairs of bot farms and AI data farmers.

I’ve been hoping that something like this would happen for what feels like too long at this point.

I used to have some clothes with the punisher icon on it. When I learned that it was associated with cops I stopped wearing them.

I don’t believe zoos should exist. Those animals deserve to be free in their natural environments living the lives they were meant to live rather than being imprisoned.

There’s a lot of femcel communities that do say that, as well as calling them the same slurs they call men. There’s this rhetoric that trans women are a form of misogyny, that men decided to replace women with themselves to devalue “real women” and so on.

It’s mostly restricted to certain corners of the internet so it’s not taken that seriously.

Trying to explain to you very gently that no one under 40 right now expects anything good to happen ever again.
