after the goose comes a swan, which though bigger, tougher, and stronger, has chilled the hell out a bit

after a swan then comes the Canadian goose, which even though it appears to be a return to goose, it’s actually the might of a swan, and the rage of a 100 regular geese

do not right click inspect element on the paywall window and then delete the code & re-enable scrolling (i always forget how to, but don’t google it)

the downside is that sometimes half the article is neutered anyway

goodness how i despise power tripping moderators.

i’ve been a mod in one pretty large and active online community and somehow power has never gotten into my head, but i’ve seen so many completely trip out over the smallest non-issues, fucking bizarre

& “apple” used to be a generic term for fruit

iirc an “apple” in both French and English used to just be any fruit. And over time it shifted to mean just the most common one

that’s a very grim way of looking at goodness. Of course doing things you believe are making a positive change makes you feel good, of course helping your community makes you feel good, and it does feel nice to be recognised and known as a good person.

It’s a strange ambient idea in our society, that to be truly good you must suffer, and never find joy in the good things you do. Not to turn conspiratorial, but to me it sounds like a cope from actually selfish people who look at people who do nice things and think to themselves “they’re only doing it to be popular and feel good about themselves, why else would anyone do anything”

I’ll take 8pm vacuuming over 8am vacuuming any day

istg i have to write those words into every reply i give. Do people even read the words i write? Can they read? Should i give up?

fuck it’s so hard to resist the urge to mimic (though probably poorly) the writing style of the book i’m currently reading shakes fist at neuroplasticity
