Why do women like flowers so much? They are a terrible gift. They don't last long at all, are required to be put in a vase (if picked), can make a huge mess if you are not careful, and you are left with rotten ones after a few weeks or days.

I also don't see the point in planting flowers either. Plant something useful like fruits and vegetables, or herbs that you can use for natural medicine (some flowers can be used for that purpose, but I'm pretty sure they are not the pretty ones). Stop wasting your money, water, and space on plants that serve no practical purpose!

The reason why I can't write my own songs for my games is that my brain automatically thinks of an already existing song for a given situation. For example, I always associate underwater with the Dire Dire Docks theme from Super Mario 64.

But apparently, Koji Kondo actually suffers the same problem. Virtually every Zelda song is a rip-off of some existing song. Nearly the entire soundtrack of the first game along with the dark world theme in A Link to the Past rip hooks from "April" by Deep Purple, and "Zelda's Lullaby" is heavily influenced by Mort Garson - Concerto For Philodendron And Pothos.

Really, all you need to do is just heavily modify a song to the point that it is no longer copyright infringing and you got your song.

Okay, after thinking about it, the message could be interpreted that it is okay embrace both masculine and feminine traits. The "non-binary" character in question is part of a species that chooses what gender they are at 13. And it's just about the kids placing bets on what gender it will choose, and in the end it decided not to tell them what gender it choose because it got annoyed. It is an alien, so anything goes, but of course in $CURRENT_YEAR it would be interpreted as being about non-binary acceptance.

And yes, I'm well aware that Mr. Enter is one of the most hated cartoon reviewers on YouTube if not THE most hated. I just gained a little bit more respect for him in the past couple of years because he did make some videos criticizing wokeness in media.

>vaguely remember some cartoon from the early 2000s about some teenage alien
>find out they had a fucking episode about non-binary gender

HOLY FUCK!!! I know that there were some kid shows back then that tried to sneak in LGBT themes like Hey Arnold, but it seems like western animation was trying to push this shit longer than we realized.

@Hoss @sjw there is a better timeline where smartphones never existed and instead we kept with flip phones and people carried around micro computers

With new users joining the fedi and constantly asking "the instance question", I've written something up about how I feel about this entire question and why I feel fediblocking is keeping people on Twitter/FB and will continue to. Fediblocking is like diesel cars in the USA imo, normies looked past the 35-40MPG because the fuel is 50 cents more just like how potential users ignore block chains and blockbots on Twitter while staring endlessly at imported blocklists and instance blocks.

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.36 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It features the following changes and fixes:

Added proper HTTP caching when serving static files (attached images, avatars, etc.)

Sensitive content messages can now have a summary.

Added a way to block full instances (from the command-line tool, as I consider this to be an administration priviledge).

If the user style.css does not exist, the server-wide one if served instead.

Added support for pinning user posts. These posts are shown first in the public AND in the private timelines.

Fixed some crashes on badly-formatted input messages.

The image alt-text is also inserted in the 'title' attribute, so it's shown on mouse hover in browsers like Firefox (contributed by Haijo7).

Some improvements to HTML sanitization.

For polls, show the time left before it closes.

Fixed a bug that prevented unfollows to be shown in the notification area.
