@monorail i think i would still want the “you need the Gym Badge to use this in the field” rule but with that this could be interesting

« That means one of my favorite jokes goes by the wayside. A priest starts shouting into the microphone saying: "Is this thing on?"

He makes lots of noise and finally says: "Something is wrong with this mic!" And the congregation replies: "And also with you!" »

if you don't know what the fuck i'm talking about you didn't go to Mass before 2008 when they evidently revised this response to be “and with your spirit” which is much less fun

the lord be with you / and also with you

is just catholic for

me too thanks / me too thanks

did you know that if you turn OREO upside-down you get ᴏⱻᴚᴏ

i should say, defective intransitive “get” because it isn’t conjugated

love the fact that intransitive “get” is now a synonym for “has been acquired”

please don't add latex to mastodon it's kinky enough as it is

when someone in so many words says “yeah i’m looking forward to you fucking me”

is kibi a stone dyke

this is probably one of my more contentious English orthography takes

you don’t actually need an apostrophe to show adjectival possession; you can just call it St Nicks Day

@alienghic@octodon.social i would argue that one core aspect of what most people think of as “social media” is commodification of social interaction / behaviours as something to be consumed, or a mode of consumption, rather than something to participate in. i think this is what separates social media from blogs (where the thing being consumed / method of consumption is not as social in nature) and forums/mailing lists/chat rooms (which are designed as participatory systems, although the presence of “lurkers” muddles this definition somewhat).

i do think this is inherently problematic to some extent? i don’t think Mastodon, for example, has freed itself from the problems of conflating social participatory culture with content consumption simply because it doesn’t show ads.

however, i think the problem becomes much worse when that consumption becomes linked into a capitalistic framework.
