Hey I have an idea, let's put him in charge of... "Technology"?

Are we so certain that it is not a toilet paper roll? :-P

Let's see what is left to cover...

You guys have whole entire inches from the wall to spare?

Indeed, I find that if we don't take care of ourselves, we become a burden to others and can't help anyone, so that's so important to remember (that if we want to help "others", it has to start with ourselves).

A finger to sit on? How wonderful? 👍

Wait... you guys have bathrooms?!

*I* do not, and if there's one, then surely there's more like me? :-P

Moreover, I think it's impressive that you have dedicated so much of your efforts to improving people's experiences here on the Fediverse. Even if people disagree with you on some point - which for myself I am aware of nothing but even if there were - that would still be true. You probably don't get thanked often, so I offer it, and I hope that you will accept.

But also, I hope that you find a way to show kindness to yourself too:-). Our families may have royally fucked us up for life, but we can do different, for ourselves! Or at least, I very much (desperately) hope that can be true.

Ikr, like did he work for Boeing or...? :-P

He definitely had "character" though, as someone who faced death, multiple times, and had to stare at it and let it change him, to focus his efforts on stuff that really matters in life. (anti-capitalistic principles I guess?:-D)

Thank you for sharing this story.

Since GamerGate was mentioned, here is a link to Innuendo Studios' analysis called "Why Are You So Angry?", although I prefer its more broad sequel "The Alt-Right Playbook".

Though without the kind of linked personal stories, so many people would not be receptive to hearing such analyses, so they both are kinda necessary. :-)

NEW YORK, Feb 7 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Social media platform Reddit, which helps its users “dive into anything,” may finally plunge into the public markets. The 19-year-old company made over $800 million in sales last year, at least 20% more than in 2022, according to Bloomberg. But a dearth of profit this late into its existence portends the lack of a real business model, suggesting it’s still not ready for public company life.
