lol the NYT did a feature on journa.host

i love its angy face

sometimes girls just need a bigger hammer

i gotta say i wasn’t sure about the manic pixie gremlin pokémon which murders Pawniard to take the steel off of their dead carcasses and build a bigger hammer at first, but it is growing on me

so, like, it’s COMING but not here yet

okay, starting a new game, they DON’T (currently) support other spanishes but DO specifically label it as “Español (España)” which they don’t do for any other language

i hope they do canadian french too

which means if they DON’T have latin american spanish, they are at least planning for it

i can't confirm this but i can at least say it now labels european spanish as SP-EU

WAIT THE NEW POKéMON SUPPORTS MULTIPLE SPANISHES?!

• “post” → “toot”
• “my fellow posters” → “toops”
• “discourse” → “meta”
• “emoji” (singular) → “emojo”
• “emoji” (plural) → “emojim”
• “i’ve made a fool of myself” → “hoisted”
• “on the local and federated timelines” → “in public”
• “i like this” → “i’m fond of this”
• “i do not like that” → “not fond of that”
• “same hat” → “me too thanks”
• “i am online” → “awoo”
• “irl” → “meatspace”
• “cyberspace” → “cybrespace”
• “cool” → “rad”
• “incendiary” → “spicy”
• “gaming” (not pejorative) → “gameing”
• “gamer” (not pejorative) → “gameinger”
• “sort of person” → “kind of guy”
• “horny” → “hornt”
• “hon”, “luv”, etc → “friend”
• “this post gives me feelings” → “a”
• “this is my new band name” → “this is my mech”
• “favourite my post” → “boop my toot”
• “playfully flirt with me online” → “ping my florps”
• “i am at peace with the world” → “all things eventually return to crab”
• “aheago” → “hnnng”
• “chickens” → “cluckers”

and this worked out pretty great, honestly

my favourite thing about humans is that our brains aren't sophisticated enough to only think dogs are cute so it just went and made all animals be cute

use RSS if you want to follow a tumblelog

if tumblr joins the fediverse i’m blocking them

all of the problems the world faces are social problems and their solutions come not in the form of a few individuals doing large amounts of good but in communities of people doing small amounts of good in an organized manner

(this is a lie i once dated someone who had an effective altruistic mindset [she was an abusive asshole (this is why effective altruism doesn't work)])

i'm pretty sure this one must've come from Twitter because no masto would give it a second thought

i don't want to know why Effective Altruism is suddenly a buzzword lately but i am surprised; i thought we defeated that one a decade ago when Peter Singer first started saying the words
