hey do any of you around here have a group of people who play tabletop rpgs that might have me, I have no experience whatsoever. I'm online, and also in the sf bay area at the moment
look it's not 𝕏, it's 𝕩, like, if you look at it
this thing is clearly lowercase
Turning parasocial interactions back into social interactions by getting together with some friends and reading articles to each other while riffing over them for fun
the weirdest person you know: why can't these people just be normal? Just be normal! It's not that hard!
typing on one of these but it works like the japanese flick input latin alphabet mode
like uh
like this but you select the square with xyab and flick with the directional buttons
like x+y+← = い but instead of い it's whichever letter that is that is there
probably would have to change the layout honestly, since you kind of have to give up "neutral" input on one of these and there's not enough easy two-button combinations on the right, but it's like. 5*8 = 40 combinations of {↑→↓←∎} (∎ is neutral here) and {x, x+y, y, y+b, b, b+a, a, x+a} is enough to get started, and you can use some of the shoulder buttons to change input modes and the others for shift/alt/ctrl. also you can use the keys without the buttons to navigate. you get the point.
idk i think it's doable
fighting game motion inputs to write.
Keyboard that's just a joystick and you have to draw out all the letters.
on one hand i could never get the rolling motions right, on the other hand i can see the appeal of inputting ←↖↑+Y to get é

managed to fit the thing on a page without scaling ghghgh
The whole "common era" (BCE-CE) has to be the stupidest thing ever and I say that as a Christian who thinks we should indeed have a secular calendar.
"Oh no we can't use "Before Christ" and "After Christ", that's so Eurocentric. We'll change it to something else, like "common era", that's more neutral."
"Oh okay, and what's gonna be year 0 then?"
"Oh, the year of the birth of Christ of course"
As far as I'm concerned we live in the year 62 A.G. of the Space Age (After Gagarin), like in a proper sci-fi novel.
HUMANITY DID NOT BEGIN 10.000 YEARS AGO NEITHER DID THE FIRST HUMAN STRUCTURES, THAT'S AN ARBITRARY VAGUE YEAR PULLED OUT OF NOWHERE, AND IT STILL FRAMES IT AROUND THE BIRTH OF CHRIST, THAT CALENDAR IS A STUPID MEME FROM KUZERGARST OR WHATEVER THAT YOUTUBE CHANNEL IS SPELLED I'M TIRED OF SEEING IT IN THE NOTES IT'S SO FHAHAHAHAAHAHA BATMAN I'M GOING TO DESTROY GOTHAM CITY
we could use something more objective, it's true. i propose that we use as epoch the last time the brightest star in the sky (Vega) was closest to being a pole star (this would be roughly 12000BC; someone could compute it more precisely but i'm not teaching myself how to do astronomical calculations for a shitpost again)
this does somewhat privilege the northern hemisphere i guess, but i would argue that it is at least more culturally neutral than celebrating whatever feat mankind managed this time around
the "americans will measure with anything but the metric system" joke but it's about astronomers and astronomical units, parsecs, and the masses of the earth, jupiter, and the sun
Fucking magnitude.
Fucking magnitude!!!
im 46 pages into the elephant and 71 pages into my notes...
i mean it's certainly a compromise between the far too prone to tangents first attempt and the far too terse second, but, idk, spent the entire morning proving from scratch that core-compact spaces are exactly the exponentiable spaces, which feels a bit off topic...
hopefully it gets less dense in definitions after chapter A1

really personal vlog hours, who up
if ur not into my (frankly, very sexy) vulnerability there's a cover of piano man i made in less than an hour playing underneath everything. so... enjoy!
surely it has been said but towocuwubes
you are the first to say this, as far as I know. Congratulations! 🎉
if you want to increase the usability of the app, you could maybe remove some of the traps? like Tumblr live and the fucking full-screen nonscrollable ads that auto play music and where the part you touch to click and the part you touch to scroll is the same
I think maybe a more usable app would be one that isn't a minefield, if you see
ran out of heat suppressants (Spironolactone) a couple days ago
I think social media management thinks the purpose of social media is to produce screenshots to post on social media
