There’s is nothing that 99% of people agree on - everything is a sliding scale. Be yourself. Share things you feel comfortable sharing and give then space to do the same. Periods of silence are ok. They’re probably also nervous and think they’re the not normal one.
ETA- Report back and let us know how it goes.
I tried bluesky (bs?) for 5 minutes. Clicked one thing, saw the comment “Sunsets are my love language,” and realized that these are not my people.
We were just taking about those today. My husband had aTRS-80. I had a C64 - played BC’s Quest for Tires for hours!
Check out the auntie network on Reddit or Facebook.
I have an air popper for work and I have a whirly pop at home. I love the ease of the air popper, but the whirly pop is far better and gives you a chance to play with different oil, temps, etc.
I thought Glenn Beck was satire. Watched it several times and then one day … wait, that’s not a joke?
It wasn’t why Mastodon. It was why Twitter or twitter-like apps.
Can you guys help explain it to someone completely inexperienced?
I had Twitter but only used it for following music venues to see upcoming events and bars for happy hour updates. I have a Mastodon account but only played with it for a few minutes because i didn’t really get it. I don’t understand following a person. What can one person have to say that i would care enough about to download an app. What am i missing?
As my mom would say- I woke up on the right side of the dirt.
Cool. Can you explain what that is, please? And what’s the white stick thing?
They’re so cute!! My DIL doesn’t want to see her family for Thanksgiving so we rented a house out of town for the weekend. It has llamas and I’m so excited to just sit and watch them. I hope i get to pet them!
We’re all going out of town so my DIL has an excuse for skipping her family’s Thanksgiving.
I have to fax docs a lot. Couple of years ago we started using stonefax so it’s like an email. I wish the faxing was the worst part - most take 1-3 calls to the doc to get them sent back.
I would say this a thousand times before i would say snap.
They just remember that shit?
Ohhh. Yeah. That makes more sense. 🤦
“I want a sandwich but i can’t afford one. I guess I’ll go watch porn and hire a prostitute.”
I don’t understand that.
I’m more worried about dying of some completely treatable illness, either because our politicians pretend it’s not real or because I can’t afford the treatment. I’m also concerned about using all of my retirement savings to live, dying broke, and having nothing to leave to my kids, who will likely suffer the same fate.
My husband and I were not married when our kids were born. I wanted to have the same name as my kids So I gave them my maiden name. I never really liked that name and I wasn’t particularly close to my dad, so when my husband and I got married, we all changed our names to his.
