the LGBT+ urge to make vampires represent queer people despite how incredibly problematic that allegory is

Hi everyone! I’m […] working on my [Minecraft] mod — All the Taurs. At some point my soul just needed my friends and me to be able to play as centaurs, so… I decided to make a mod for that lol.
huh… I wonder why someone would be so interested in being a taur that they would go to this much trouble. this is purely a cosmetic mod from what I can tell, so it doesn’t even have any gameplay implications. is being a taur really so appealing that you’d-
In the future I’d love to add even more forms too: […] spiders, octopi, and so on!
wait I want this mod now
@shijikori oof that’s good to know - thank you! I might give Fedora a try if Mint ends up causing problems for me too
okay if Arch randomly breaks itself one more time I’m switching to Mint instead. it genuinely happens about 10% of the time that I try to update my system. infuriating
also I hate whoever decided that on Linux all .so files should be globally shared across all programs and automatically updated/deleted by the package manager and all dumped into one single clusterfuck of a directory. like no wonder everything is constantly breaking when the system is juggling dependencies like they’re flaming chainsaws
what’s a good daw i can easily run on linux and with shitty hardware
@Guillotine_Jones @rowan seconding this tbh. it’s always an unexpected gift getting a long and thoughtful Eli post in my notifications
the big truth of nihilism is that there is no big truth. there’s no greater purpose, no higher calling, no point of it all. i think most people with a cursory understanding of nihilism probably know this much about it.
but often i’ll see even nihilists with sentiments akin to “you get what you deserve” or “you receive the energy you put out” or some other karmic law. i’m personally in favor of absurdist nihilism but i think we should be careful what beliefs and meanings we choose to adopt.
karmic beliefs and most religious beliefs are a way of finding sense and control in a universe that gives us very little. in almost all cases, we’re just along for the ride. it’s important to identify points where we do have some control and try to responsibly exert it in a way which uplifts ourselves and others around us. the problem with certain beliefs is that when we assume control where there is none, we can start placing fault and blame where it doesn’t belong.
minorities are often scolded for being bitter or unhappy and sometimes this is extrapolated to justify their position in life. this is a frustrating reversal of cause and effect – most people are miserable because of their position in life. it takes a significant amount of effort to be happy in spite of it all. worse yet, it seems to me that most people do try to be happy in spite of their circumstances – they just can’t do it 100% of the time.
know that life is unfair and even when someone doesn’t subscribe to or live according to your own ideals, it’s extremely unlikely that they’ve brought this onto themselves. no one wants to live a life of pain, unfairness, isolation, or hurt. i choose to judge others by how they exert the infinitesimal amount of control they do have: do they cause hurt to others? do they make life harder for those around them? with a few notable exceptions, i don’t often care what they believe, only what they do.
I want a toggle on my body that let's me choose to orgasm with or without cum. It would always be off, unless someone really likes it otherwise~
just finished this game and I enjoyed it so much that I’m going to give Strange Horticulture a try next

how many layers deep is this joke. 3 maybe 4
I bet there’s a name for the seam that goes above your toes in a sock. I bet there’s a name for those road barricade things that get filled up with water. I know there are names for both kinds of bollards
there’s probably a name for the part of the pen that you click, and the mechanism that lets it click. I bet there’s a name for the handle that you pull on a drawer
anyway idk I think about this a lot. so many names
one of the crazy things about engineering is that there’s probably a name for everything
the seams that let plastic parts click together? probably a name for that. the process of making those seams? probably a name for that too. the industrial machine that forms those seams? there’s definitely a name for that thing. every individual part of that machine? names for those too. there are probably even verbs for what each of those parts does
every single mundane human-made object probably has like 4 or 5 names just to describe the object as a whole - let alone the sub-pieces of it. and it goes on forever
@futurebird @Bubotomy imagining 110 feet of sand below my feet is surreal and a little unnerving. I wonder how that would feel to walk on. if you dug away all of the sand, I wonder what it would look like underneath. it would definitely be sandstone, but would it be wavy? flat? would there be massive sandstone hills? would it look like the ocean’s waves: ripples frozen in time?
are creatures living deep in the sand, or do they just burrow near the surface? imagine a snake that can burrow dozens of feet into the sand - moving through it like water - to escape the desert heat and hide itself from predators
