696I try to be very careful about CWing things. sometimes I make mistakes but I want to make my posts as safe to read as possible
I sometimes post NSFW/kinky/lewd things behind CWs. this should go without saying but if you're a minor please do not interact with anything lewd/NSFW that I post
I have very limited energy and am very shy so it might take me a long time to reply to messages sometimes, or I might not be able to reply at all. this is kind of an "output only" account for the most part, but I'm hopeful that I can change that over time
I sometimes use curly braces to {clearly show where a grammatical phrase begins and ends}, like that. you can think of them like parenthesis in code or math, except they operate on grammar instead

I'm wondering if a potential answer to "why would people want a CW for something as seemingly simple and harmless as eye-contact" would be better explained with cats? 
so... dogs... they like attention and tend to like eye-contact, right? it's this sign of attention and often, affection 
but for cats? eye contact feels hostile and really uncomfortable 
the single greatest compliment a cat can give you is "I feel comfortable in your presence", and one of the ways they show this to you is something you might have heard of: the "slow-blink" 
a slow-blink is a cat's way of physically showing you "I feel comfortable in your presence while robbed of one of my primary defensive senses (sight)", and is used both between cats and between cats and humans 
p.s. I generally don't feel uncomfortable with direct eye contact, but I figure having it suddenly appear on a screen that's close to you is a similar feeling to when a spider pic doesn't get a CW and I suddenly have a (digital) spider less than a millimeter away from one of my fingers... sudden spike in heart-rate, adrenaline, cortisol, and a mood you might have trouble changing for a little while

dragonarchitect@rubber.social@JamesBont @alternativeto Unfortunately Linux is not going to be a viable path forward for a great many people.
But Microsoft sure is making the "I want/need to stay on Windows" paths forward as frustrating as possible, aren't they. :/

Rob Ricci
ricci@discuss.systemsI have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here?
I'll pay the bills. Period.
I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team.
DM me.

I feel like I overthink lewd art way too much. any time I see a drone collective that puts its drones in latex I’m always like “what practical purpose does this serve? does latex make drones more obedient? I feel like it would just be sweaty”
or when someone is like “I’m going to make you my sissy foot slave” I just think “wait so how are the duties of a foot slave different from a regular slave? does this person have slaves for all of their body parts or just body parts that they consider erogenous? they do have more than one slave, right? because if this is their first slave, then ‘sissy foot slave’ seems massively over-specialized. shouldn’t they just be a general-purpose slave instead? like start general and then specialize more as you capture more slaves, right? because presumably a sissy foot slave is only good for sissy-related foot activities and wouldn’t be able to cook for you or entertain guests with how far they can ejaculate on command”

unsure if I should be celebrating the death of EA or if I should be worried that they’ll somehow manage to make the average consumer uncritically buy and play whatever slop they end up making in the coming years

Cassandra is only carbon now
xgranade@wandering.shop@inthehands Exactly, yeah. It's why conflict resolution, de-escalation, consensus building, and all the like are so important to political processes. But also, it's something that I think applies at a broader level as well — don't demand that fellow progressives *feel* a certain way. Like, don't let each other off the hook for being jerks, but also recognize that emotions are real and don't always point in the most useful and just directions?

xgranade@wandering.shopI said a thing in visibility-limited replies that I'd like to actually bring out into a more general context: political movements that don't make room for people to have unproductive emotions makes about as much sense as building bridges with zero safety tolerances.
People are, well, human, and *will* have feelings and emotions that are not fully compatible with even their own proximate political goals.

@tempest omg this is especially frightening because this is all possible with current technology and could easily happen with a misaligned AI
but yeah there’s a whole genre of videos that follows this kind of format - a lot of them are formatted like a series of EAS messages

crazyeddie@mastodon.social@kasdeya So...
If you are going to be switching to a firefox based browser maybe don't get rid of your old one right away if you run Linux and need to use Teams.
I learned the hard way that LibreWolf has some fucking bug that causes Teams to not work correctly and there's actually no Linux client for that stupid ass "communication" software.
Otherwise...fucking go for it. I keep Brave around for Teams now. We're back to THAT.

go inside your homes. there is alien zombies out there. do not answer the door. the alien zombies can imitate voices and they’re smart manipulative bastards
do not look at the alien zombies or they will transfer a copy of their consciousness into your mind it’s super fucked you will wish they just killed you. actually just board up all the windows or like huddle in the basement just be out of line of sight of the zombies
we’re pretty sure the alien zombies are the spawn of zorkathoth. we’ve got a team working on it give us like 48 hours
a lot of you will definitely die. shelter in place good luck
