I'm now buried under a mountain of hugs, I think

This is not a complaint

@Bronco *hugs nice and tiiiiight* >w<

honestly I'm into hugs from basically anyone

@atinyfairy aww, that's adorable... >w<

hey,

can I get a hug...?

No, I'm not removing this thread, by the way; even if my initial take is wrong, the thread has been helpful to myself and others to learn things we didn't know, and erasing it would be a disservice to that.

Thank you for letting me be wrong and learn from my mistakes. <3

Being wrong is part of learning. Listening to others is part of growth.

I feel like these two things get lost in a lot of social media nowadays.

granted I wasn't as aware of _every_ connotation of that statue so I'll drop the subject and admit I was wrong about that

@Elizafox anyway oops I've said something bad and now I feel like everybody in the world hates me lol

@Elizafox This is a bit of a side point but I was talking about this exact thing to Kas almost exactly a year ago

and they mentioned that the statue's primary use now is professors using it to contextualize the war and NC's place in it at that time

@Elizafox TBH I feel a lot different feelings here than, say, honoring <pick any Confederate general here> because these are common people, dragged into a mess of a war by others?

Good job, douches, on tearing down a monument honoring those who lost their lives in the civil war, as if the fact that they were on the losing side means they should be erased.

@Xkeeper this is why we shouldn't be using "NaN undefined St." as a delivery address

@plausocks is there anything we aren't killing anymore

All you people throwing a fit about golf courses: they're basically one of the few pretty green highlights in this otherwise barren wasteland called Las Vegas. "Zero harm" by removing them all, my ass.

Lots of fucking spicy people on the fediverse today bitching about a sport because they personally don't like it, huh?

oh... oh no

I found my old livejournal

The posts go all the way back to January of 2004

Go away terrible 13 year old me ugh

I think we need a bigger trebuchet...

@Jo what is it with witches.* instances and shitty admins

@00dani @devurandom quake wasn't open sourced until the very end of 1999 (not counting the leaked source)

and the ease of making new things in the faux-3d of the doom engine probably helped contribute to it staying alive for so long

@unascribed denuvo though...? afaik it adds a bunch of problems
