radfems go kill yourselves challenge

[ratsetflummi]

the local bus company is sending around a questionnaire about the reasons why people don't use the buses as much, so they can figure out how to fix it

but the questions are just

"why don't you like taking the bus?

it's never on time

it doesn't go frequently enough

buses are too full

what would get you to take the bus more often?

if it was on time

if it went more frequently

if buses were less full"

firstly, why are you asking me the same question twice?

and secondly, i am ticking 100% of the boxes on this questionnaire, and i can't imagine anyone won't

[ratsetflummi]

i mean, i guess they need some numbers to point to even they ask for more funding from the city

but jesus christ, all of the above, and we have all known it for years

the funnest part of reading books is telling people the plot like its hot gossip

[dragon-in-a-fez]

anon hater just accused me of (among other things) "encouraging kids to install malware on their parents' computers". I don't remember ever doing that but it sounded like a fun concept for a post so here are some ideas for things to install on your parents' computers!

a custom DNS resolver that blocks access to Fox News and other right-wing propaganda outlets

a keylogger to capture the admin password for your router so you can disable parental controls

a VPN or a virtual machine running the Tor browser to bypass access restrictions and age verification checks

your own "parental controls" browser extension, set up to send you notifications if your parents visit websites that indicate they might be spying on you (e.g. Life360)

a userscript that adds a fake virus warning popup to the donation pages of fascist political parties

have fun! make sure to do loads of reading and learn how things work so you can break them safely and effectively!

oh, and anon, my advice to you is never stab a man who collects knives

[dragon-in-a-fez]

couple people have asked about the phrase "never stab a man who collects knives". it didn't come from anywhere special, it's just something I made up. I was going for the energy of like, central European proverb you heard from your surprisingly hardcore grandma. it means don't attack someone with something they're going to enjoy getting

[cimminspronuncedcircle]

elaborate please?

a siege involves trying to starve out the people inside the walls which you can't do if your weapons give them food

[planefood]

I'd be down with more "modern witches" if they were less all about indigenous cultural appropriation and more about bubbling cauldrons and cackling into the night

"I want to reconnect with my precolonial european pagan roots" then stop selling dreamcatchers on etsy, you should be eating turnips and yodeling.

Cave divers are our bravest, most useless soldiers

[fivetrench]

But without cave divers, who would rescue all the stuck cave divers?

[pukicho]

Every cave dive rescue operation involves a second, even more stuck cave diver.

boss texted me "i appreciate you staying out of the drama in the office"

Then you’re doing a fantastic job at it.

Emily Wison, whose translation formed the basis for Nolan's version of The Odyssey, is brutal and unrelenting in her review of it.

As they say at the awards shows, I was humbled to learn that Christopher Nolan has read at least the first line of my...

they should make a version of socializing that doesn’t make you feel like you’re still the weird 12 year old kid that doesn’t know why she’s not normal like the other kids

Flags Mashup Bot is really out here trying to start World War III

[mccoppinscrapyard]

UPDATES

[pancoleon]

My fav part is that it is genuinely just a bot. All it does is take two countries, puts the 2nd country's colours on the 1st country's flag and mixes their names together.

Literally the only other thing behind it is that the bot weights picking the second country based on how close they are to the first, and basic geography + history means that's also where you're going to get the most aggressive relations. This isn't some guy trolling by making things specifically to piss people off, it's some guy who likes flags going "wouldn't it be fun to mix flags together, let's write a bot for that" and accidentally creating a whole meme culture of "days since flag mashup bot last tried to start WW3 = 0" and the like.

Each person's account is given 'credits' which are centrally tracked and if you aren't using any they ask why not.
