Started binge-watching Community. Before I have never watched more than a few episodes.
Thursday, 11-Jun-20 16:48:56 UTC from web-
@adiwan Community season 2 is one of my fave seasons of anything ever so I'd definitely take it that far at least. The rest ranges from okay to pretty good for me if you pretend the show ended with season 5
-
@tiff Finished Season 5 today and it was a stinker. I'm mid-season 6 and it ain't better.
-
@adiwan I got like 4 episodes into season 6 and gave up lmao, it is not the same show at all by that point

I say, considering USA's COVID response, we should start a nationwide campaign informing people of the dangers of putting their junk in a blender (or vice versa), just to see what happens

Does anyone else find it particularly gross when for-profit corporations send messages about donating to charities or supporting a particular political opinion that doesn't have to do with their main business? It makes sense on the hiring end of course, and I get that companies are made of humans, but doing it on the public end just feels like capitalizing on people's emotions. The realty group holding my apartment made a donation to a campaign related to the protests. Why not give that money back to your leasers, or even your employees instead? They can then choose to do what they want with it.

And I feel like the asshole for sitting here and watching them, after first shouting, then yelling, then cursing, then fuming, then apologizing, but I swear to god I have tried to grow something for years with setback after bullbanana failure and right now these goddamned gourds are about the only thing I have going for me in my life and I swear if anything happens to them I will jump in the pool wearing ankle weights

@nerthos Yeah, I'd thought about it for shade, but it didn't turn up necessary. Now that they're done, I expect that's it. They basically butchered the trees. :-/

@nerthos But ultimately, the question is, is it so goddamned hard to look where you're dropping kiwi? Or keep your customer's mess in their yard? Basic respect. Show one move's worth of forethought for those around you.

When I was in high school I used to talk endless batcave on BLM because I was dumb and saw Ferguson on TV and, in a profound inability to recognize my own privilege, clung to the idea that the riots were a failure of the community, instead of a result of failure by society. I’m truly, truly sorry to anyone I offended with that kinda BS

@tiff Oh, just let me organize a rant on content warnings, and how an initially good and considerate idea has turned into a mollycoddle circlejerk, and if you're so terrified of spiders that I can't say "Spider-Man" that's YOUR problem, etc etc
-
@scribus I am wholly sympathetic towards people with those sorts of predispositions but at the same time we are at (arguably past) the point where people act like the Internet should be catered towards them and their sensibilities specifically and it's to the detriment of years of societal progress

Disney+ has a collection titled "The Simpsons Predict the Future", which includes episodes of The Simpsons in which they make jokes that later became fact. One such episode is "Bart to the Future", in which Lisa mentions "President Trump", and "The Serfsons", where they predicted the ending to Game of Thrones, and "The City of New York Vs. Homer Simpson", where... uh...

@mrmattimation And the Lady Gaga episode, iirc, which uuhhhmmm.... evades me, at least.
-
@scribus Lady Gaga's performance in that episode was really similar to a halftime show that she would do after the episode aired so i'm assuming that's why that's there

I have a pretty great immune system and viral infections don’t actually do a whole lot to me and I’m wondering if maybe I could shrink down to microscopic size and just take on the coronavirus myself, mono y mono

@mrmattimation would you have sex with the coronavirus to teach it about the depths of human love

@tiff I would make love to it and then destroy it anyway, to teach it a lesson in humility

Like I said - I have no reason to believe I’ve got it other than this cold, which is also going around right now. No fever, no headaches, nothing. Just congestion.

@thismightbeauser But, the Carnegie and Rockefeller and all those families, they used to do public works and stuff. They may have been hoarding the wealth, but not damn *all* of it. Their flash contest was at least servicing the greater good as a side effect of the ostentation. This new crop seems more about raw, bigly yuge numbers, and hoarding, like a dragon (or a priapism). But, again, this is all coming around to perception. . . .

@scribus I mean, there's Bill Gates and whatnot. On the other hand you get people like this guy, who think it's an okay idea to keep making electric cars at a moderately high risk of illness to his employees with no one to buy them. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875471
-
@thismightbeauser @scribus That is indeed the case, a lot of rich people have middle class cars and discrete houses and do their best to keep people from knowing how rich they are, due to the general sentiment of "wealth equals evil"
You can't blame them really, if the mob will hate you just for managing to make good decisions and earning your family big money. I'd probably do the same if I couldn't simply relocate to a fortified compound with a minefield around it. It makes no sense to feel empathy for a group that has none for you, for whom you'll always be the bad guy regardless of what you do or don't do, that openly talks about how good it'd be if you died.
The ones that show off are the sociopaths, politicians and entertainment industry guys, who by default are crooks as that whole industry is built on crime and debauchery.

So, no. I do not have goddamned nginx figured out, and no, the Pleroma 2.0 launch has not made this any less goddamned infuriating.
Sunday, 15-Mar-20 04:19:48 UTC from web-
@scribus The installation of Pleroma comes with an NGINX config file located at /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx copy it to the NGINX sites-available directory, change your server names, then symbolically link it to the sites-enabled path
-
@oracle I had done that previously and it still wasn't working. The directions said to name it a certain thing, which was not the usual Nginx method of naming it the same as the URL is supposed to be. Might that have been my problem? The second time around, I did try modifying a default, instead of copying the provided one, so obviously that was the error, there. :p Thanks.
-
@thismightbeauser Well, my latest (balls-deep-in-failure) attempt is on Ubuntu 20.04, and nginx is 1.17.10 (Ubuntu)

I’m beginning to consider the idea that maybe I have coronavirus but all it’s doing to me is giving me a cold. It’s been around 6-10 days since I was possibly exposed to it by an elderly customer who maybe got it in Arlington (never did figure out who it was and if they were even in the store), and I’ve been dealing with cold symptoms for a few days now. No fever yet, though, and my cough was exceptionally minor and is gone today. Hopefully if that’s the case I didn’t get anyone sick, I was careful to make sure I was sanitizing everything in my cough radius just in case.
Thursday, 19-Mar-20 19:28:25 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation I thought the same until I had a fevre this morning. So now I’m self-quarantining.

Yo @ceruleanspark, I just checked the Affiliates links and both are now completely dead. Fluttershy was bought by some Chinese thing and Bronies UK is just dead lol.

@scribus a former co-worker of mine said this a lot. An automotive technician who relied on Youtube. It became a growing trend at that shop so I had to leave basically.

@awl Well, that's about as distressing as it is unsurprising. I mean, I've used YT for my auto repairs, but I never claimed to be a professional.
