...I am only half-joking. I have no reason to suspect that Bill Gates has anything to do with the Lone Star tick besides his habit of introducing bugs to new places and trying to get other people to stop eating meat.

Added HP (which you can't see) and sprite flicker when you get hit. I normally put stats like HP in the title bar before adding a HUD, but that didn't show up in my recording.

CNN's front page on Obama's birthday.
It's the details.
Like Trump under an umbrella.
Umbrella = 84
Jesuit = 84
8/4
The Jesuits are symbolized through an umbrella, because they infiltrate and take things down within.

Leonard Read's famous "I, Pencil" explained the workings of the market in terms of the creation of a simple pencil. However, we should not forget that the reviled fossil fuels are involved at every turn. | @naturalauthorit

Hey so I was doing some reading about how federation works and apparently my single-user instance just needs to be "seen" by other instances, and uh my circle is still small so can I buy a boost for "exposure"?

Pleroma is full of security vulnerabilities because OnlyFans paid people on Upwork to implement a bunch of features nobody wants.

Have you ever tried downloading an emoji pack from a server? No? Well that's the vulnerable code.

Anyway, hopefully everyone is using s3 for uploads by now and has the dedupe filter enabled.

Patch is being merged into Rebased now: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/rebased/-/merge_requests/263

A patch was ready yesterday but I figured I'd wait til after it landed upstream first.

I was aware of the Zeebo's existence ever since it first had a Wikipedia article and was always morbidly curious about it, but now I realize how dogshit the console is. I can clearly see why Brazilians would rather stick to their Master Systems than play PS1 quality games at 12 FPS.

we're SO fucking close to getting this cola recipe down. I need to reduce the orange a bit and then it should be set. Unfortunately there are 3 separate ingredients which could be responsible for what I'm tasting:

- bitter curacao orange peel
- orange zest
- orange juice

Since the taste is slightly bitter I'm inclined to say its either the bitter orange peel or the zest (maybe too much of the pith is getting in due to my zesting technique). I'm going to start by halving the amount of bitter orange peel and see how that does

IMO I don't think BlueSky will kill fedi.

Especially since BlueSky is fucked with NSFW content handling, restricts viewing to people not logged in, lacks features even Mastodon has, etc.

Justin Trudeau is going through a divorce. People are being told to respect his privacy during this time because he has children.

You know who also has children? The protestors whose accounts his government froze because they were too cowardly to face them.

@realandyleeshow has children and her account was taken from her.

I have children and I drove around in a panic for 3 fucking days pulling my cash out of every account and ATM that I could find because I donated to the Convoy and my name was on the published donors list.

Some of the people who've been injured by the Covid vaccines or died mysteriously after taking them have children.

@answers4sean had a son who was murdered by the vaccine mandates. He was a child.

Garnet Harper was denied a kidney transplant because he was unvaccinated and died as a result. He had children.

So please spare the calls for empathy. Trudeau deserves every ounce of criticism he receives and every joke made at his expense. Nobody thought about any of our children when Trudeau's tyrannical Covid policies directly impacted our families.

So from the very bottom of my heart, fuck Justin Trudeau. I hope his now ex-wife goes out and finds herself some 18 year old weed dealer that does what Justin could never do. Their kids will be fine. Our kids maybe not so much.

But hey, think about the children, right?
