It's true that it's hard to get a new instance to be picked up by others and vice versa, but there are conduits (or I forget what they're called) that can help, and mastodon does have more than one mainstream instance. Bluesky is just one instance.

Thank you for complimenting my whistling.

I'm creating 100 alts so nobody else can get it no matter how many people unsubscribe >:)

Yeah, I agree with all of that. Clearly a "ceasefire" doesn't come close to enough. But that is the immediate demand, an end to the killing, right now, and it's still too much to ask for.

In a just world, we'd cut off all military aid to Israel and impose sanctions but that's just never going to happen.

But my personal pride doesn't matter, and the only benefit I could see to not-voting (or voting for Jill Stein) is to punish and pressure the Democratic party toward the left. But I don't see an argument for that being more effective than actually voting in Democrats and continuing to pressure them while they're in office.

I don't agree with this. I don't think "elect and then pressure" works if they know you're going to still vote for them. Marching in the streets doesn't do anything. Calling them doesn't do anything.

I don't begrudge people who do plan to still vote for them, but you're putting yourself in a very weak position to influence them if they know they're going to get what they want from you pretty much either way: your vote.

As well, I will not vote for them on principle, because they are actively assisting in a genocide. I don't care if the other guy's worse. If the lesser evil is doing a genocide then I'm out. That's it. Nothing will change my mind on this.

I will not vote for my senators, rep nor the president due to their refusal to call for a ceasefire but I don't think both sides are the same. I just won't vote for anyone genocidal.

Closed minded!

:(

I feel a little bad for them tbh. That's such a shockingly horrible thing to have happen to you even if you're a dolt and a sucker.

Great post thanks for posting!

You can wrap your errors though, it's not hard to do. Use fmt.Errorf() but you have to actually do it. And people tend not to where I work.

Oh, yeah. That's true. I have so much problems debugging go code because every crash is like, "the program the an unhandled error at like 123" and then you look at like 123 and it's like

if err := some_call() {
    panic("some_call failed!");
}

You just hid the stack trace that tells me what went wrong!!!

I think? You can just assign it to _ and it will be ignored, if you want. Like

val, _ := something()

I think pet him and show him that you love him is the best thing you can do.

Poor baby, I'm sending healing vibrations.

Yeah where they all were quitting and talking about even good cops work in a bad system.

It was weird. I'm glad the show ended.

I really enjoyed The Last Man On Earth, a couple years back. And also, Sweet Tooth season one is good, or I liked it. Season two came out this summer and I'm gonna watch that.

If you like Apple TV stuff I enjoyed Severance but I think they're making a second season. I can't imagine season 2 will be good. But we'll see.

Definitely watch For All Mankind.

Been rewatching Buffy and Angel.

Just finished watching Brooklyn 99. I'm kinda glad they ended it when they did.

I watched The Platform and really, really did not like it.

I keep seeing recommendations for Our Flag Means Death and What We Do In The Shadows so I might check those out. I liked matt berry in The It Crowd.

Aw but i was going to tosche station to pick up some power converters!

Probably the size I think

Way back when, when I had a plan that gave me free texts but not free data, I wanted to implement TCP over SMS. I didn't know how to program at that time, and at this point there's no point, but I think it could be a cool POC.

They make sense if you think of them as just a shed to store tools and stuff that's too dirty to store in your house but don't want outside getting rained on, like a lawn mower or power tools.

It is very silly to store a car in them, but I guess can be handy if you're like, working on a motorcycle and it's rainy out.

TOTALLY UNREALISTIC, why is he racking the slide on a break action shotgun?

Unplayable.
