Hey, thanks for reading my bio. You know, you’re pretty cool. I’m glad we got to share this moment together.
Creator-owned platforms are the answer. I pay 2.50 USD/month for Nebula, and I have a less invasive experience, no ads, and the creators are paid better.
I also pay ~5/mo for Dropout, which is entirely owned by the people who run it.
In both cases, I feel as though I’m getting more value out of my time spent watching compared to the average YouTube video. Higher quality, less fluff, less algorithm bait.
Shit, that was good. Maybe making the switch will help reduce the amount of ambient doom I feel nowadays.
I define it by whether something is independently verifiable.
I am told that there are 8* planets in our solar system, and where they are located. If I wanted to, I could buy a big telescope, point it at the sky and find all 8.
I am told that it is possible to boil water through nuclear fission. If I had the means, I could take a number of resources, spend decades researching nuclear physics, build my own test reactor, and verify that this is possible.
I am told that the earth is flat. I could get a pilots license, buy a plane, and fly to Antarctica to see the ice wall. I would find that there is no ice wall, just a number of scientists who are very passionate about ice samples. Therefore, it is not independently verifyable.
I don’t have the money to verify all of these claims, but they are all claims that have been verified by hundreds, if not thousands of independent people and organizations throughout history.
In my defense, my pattern recognition works a lot better with depth perception and movement
This is clearly evidence that Jimmy Neutron is the peak male form
Never been a big fan of kids, but for some reason this post clicked with me. I think I get it.
Does the crab not also get a certificate of participation? They certainly deserve one
My car is purple, does that count?
Culturally, not a fan, for many reasons others have mentioned - and the whole caste system thing tends to sour a lot of the otherwise positive aspects.
That said, the food is EXCELLENT, and that must not be overlooked.
Oh yeah, I’m definetly bi… Bi myself

Well shit.
What the fuck is a GRAVITY BOMB???

I really need to learn git. Wouldn’t it be possible, even trivial, to simply host your own repository nowadays?
Make an app that is a little ASCII potted plant in your terminal and every time you type something it waters the plant and it grows

This needs at least one flash game to be accurate
I wish I had some geologist friends.
