preach. i had to ask multiple people to stop leaving voice messages in our activist group chats. i can read about ten times faster than someone can speak, and i don't want to listen to "um, ah, it's like, well, it's like..." for 15 seconds while they gather their thoughts. plus you can't skim back through a voice message if you forget part of what they said, you have to take a guess at where to seek to and then wait for them to get to the point again.

gather your thoughts, type them out in a text message, and you won't be wasting anyone's time.

while i dearly wish my relatives would stop sending me multiple voice notes that say the same thing, this is the middle ground when one side can't read chinese (me)

"whataboutism" has a point because some things genuinely will never matter

as a gift, one could go to tumblr to say that it is a moral failing to spend a minute caring about this, when one could care about anything else

plus, forced masculinisation is pretty funny actually. they make some funny posts

Someone insulted me for pulling out "the thesaurus" for using words that I thought were very simply. Oh no

that round where they guessed the right answer based only on 7:36 pm was crazy

also I have to point out that in the telescope picture, the red arrow was actually pointing to the eyepiece, not the finder scope. the finder is the mini telescope attached to the body of the big telescope. they messed that one up

another fun quiz show is Says You!, but that one is a radio show.

only connect is the best quiz show on television, and there is no feeling quite like getting a 5-point (for those who haven't watched, getting 5 points for an answer means getting the connection between four things having seen only one of the things)

Truly joever for Bluesky. ZUN got his Twitter account back (so no more Touhou artists migrating I guess), and Brazil now has Twitter again...
