And wait a minute, I just saw you in the Europe community. Hi. 😊

This is like when you see a neighbor in the frozen aisle and wave politely but then ten minutes later you see them again in the bakery and you’re like, not sure how to react because it’s weird to wave again but even weirder to pretend like you didn’t see them so you end up saying something stupid like “we gotta stop meeting like this” and then your own inherent cringe bounces around inside your head for hours

I used AdGuard on my phone

I don’t use ublock origin and literally never browse the web from a computer but that sounds like a cool feature for sure

I just grabbed that screenshot from a google image search, just to show you what I meant

Like one of these:

Sure, I’m aware. But nothing on the level of what Valve offers.

Steam offers a lot more to developers than a storefront to sell your games. The App Store is an extremely minimal offering to developers for the amount of money they demand in exchange.

Alt text: a screenshot from final fantasy tactics with a character saying: “If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.”

I hope you see this, OP. I don’t know what you expected or hoped for here, but it just didn’t happen today. That sucks for you and I empathize with that. Now, I don’t know you and you don’t know me, but I just want to say, from the bottom of my heart, please log off.

We did not intend for this to be taken in any political way whatsoever

If I didn’t want to send a political message, I would simply not wear a hat with a political slogan from a prominent politician during a politically fraught time in the very city where political protests are happening.

I hope to someday have someone to call my partner again. We’ll see.

I believe that you will. I believe there’s someone out there for everyone. I hope that you and your someone find each other soon.

And not having closure can feel awful. Maybe one day, if it feels right, you two can have a good faith conversation and at least get a sense of finality? If that’s what you both want, of course.

It sounds like you were really able to make space for yourself after you two separated. To figure out who you were at your core, outside of being a parent and a partner. I’m happy to see you were able to transition and live openly, and I really admire your ability to admit your own mistakes and flaws. Wishing you both the best.

Do you two stay in touch? It sounds like it may have been for the best, if you two grew apart. I hope that doesn’t sound callous to say. I hope you’re both in a great place now.

I find Mac Demarco to be quite warm and chill. He writes very mellow singer-songwriter type indie music. A good example might be the song Moonlight on the River. If you like that, you’ll probably like most of his stuff.

What has your day to day experience been like since moving to .ml, compared to .world?

Can’t wait for the investigative podcast that explains how fucked up this place was

It’s absolutely an AI problem and it’s an asshole problem. It’s an asshole problem exacerbated by shitty AI.

I always remember because Jonathan has an American accent and Christopher has a British one which I always found super interesting for some reason, due to where they were each primarily raised/attended school
