Reply to comment by Moonside in My apartment is haunted. by Moonside

I made that comment with the knowledge that there was a very high chance that you were a big ole linux nerd and I had some really good joke to say if that turned out to be the case but that was last night and I forget so just pretend I made a really good joke here

agh D: do u have a space heater? if you can get one I really recommend it, they are a life saver and apparently reasonably energy efficient

(I also recommend electric blankets, but those have more limited usage)

Reply to Shithole, nasty woman, and the corny rush to “reclaim” words by devtesla

the most visible entities to attempt to reclaim [shithole country] are doing so on behalf those who are being marginalized, rather than stemming full-force from the group whose humanity is at stake

this I think is the crux of the problem. Much like you don't get to forcibly reclaim slurs for other people, if you're not from a place, calling it a shithole has a real different and not-ok vibe. I can see the similarities but I think this is a pretty different thing from people calling themselves "nasty women" etc

on the other hand “nevertheless, she persisted” is dope as hell imo

Reply to Every character in anime who is meant to be tall is actually just like 5'6" and I would tower over them lol by devtesla

i would still be shorter than them ;_;

unrelated but in high school i went on a month-long school trip to japan and my friend who was also on the trip was VERY tall (6ft something) and just towered over everyone and I still remember the one time we were walkin and randomly met a japanese dude who was the same height and they both freaked out over it. it was a wonderful experience that surpassed all language barriers
