"So why do you live in your parents basement?"

So, Facebook (aka. Meta) is moving to the fediverse, which is going to backfire horrifically. One side of the fediverse is going to block them entirely, and I know full well that this side is going to just spam them with "cute and funny" and other ~advertiser unfriendly~ content that it's going to fail horrifically.

Do I want Meta to succeed? No.
Do I want them to try only for it to fail horrendously? Absolutely.

Annoying lefty fedi: be better, you're a white male! Do better!
Me: I will be worse and it's all your fault.

Feminists created this monster and now they are being devoured by their own creation

"It's being a decent person."
No, that's not how opinions and stances work. As soon as you have agreed, disagreed, smiled, frowned, or said anything other than a carefully worded neutral response. You have declared a position. In most circumstances that it something I am simply not comfortable doing.

- mentions of Russia and/or Russians
- graphic depictions of capitalism
- Josh Whedon
- alcoholism, but like, ironically
