  • I agree with you (and also somewhat with the other people, too)

    I want to keep some accounts completely separate from my other accounts, and also don’t want to set up a whole other set of accounts to keep them separate

    E.g., on Reddit I would keep certain conversations on reddit only (but used a 3rd party app mostly so I never saw the chats, just dm/pms)

    I went to my family Christmas with my then-partner. I got a Grinch onesie from my family

    We then attended my partner’s family Christmas where basically the entire living room was stuffed with presents for the kids (my partner and their siblings). My then-partner complained about how they all got more $$ worth of presents. I pointed out that I got a pair of pjs for Christmas. The reply: “it’s not about the dollar amount, it’s just they got more than me” (paraphrased)

    I hated that present. A fucking onesie? It was such a disappointing present, and for a long time I used it as an example for questions just like this

    I kept it and wore it. Eventually I lost the bitterness and started to cherish it even. Which is why I still wear it regularly this time of year! It’s quite warm… plus, it has pockets!

    Grinch tax:





  • A part of me actually wished that the Onion would have purchased InfoWars, but in secret, like maybe under a subsidiary corp that has a right-wing sounding name.

    "Today we celebrate a new addition to the Global Tetrahedron LLC family of brands. "

    don’t change Infowars’ branding

    "Founded in 1999 … InfoWars has distinguished itself as an invaluable tool for brainwashing and controlling the masses.

    InfoWars has shown an unswerving commitment to manufacturing anger and radicalizing the most vulnerable members of society—values that resonate deeply with all of us at Global Tetrahedron.

    No price would be too high for such a cornucopia of malleable assets and minds. … a steep bargain: less than one trillion dollars."

    I’m absolutely not disagreeing with you; I believe the onion will continue on doing “its thing” and keeping on-brand for both entities. Do exactly what you say and publish articles either believable or outlandish enough to break through to people



  • It’s an interesting idea. I’m not here really to give my input either way, but I just wanted to note on my client, the animation is a static image and when tap on it I get this message:

    It’s not an issue, but it ends up opening the in-app browser and from there plays as a video

    Also, the app has some info it includes when trying to open files, not sure if it’s useful:

    It’s not a big deal at all and if you don’t care I apologize for wasting your time. But people here seem to like puzzling out little issues on the fediverse.

    Thanks again for the original post, though! It’s a fun approach
