@thefishcrow Whoof. That sounds like it might be intense!

Have fun, if you do it, though. And have a great day!

@balrogboogie Fun busy is good busy. Glad to hear it. And no worries on notification spam. I hope you get your avatars sorted and have a great day!

@DialMforMara @kellycrow Yeah. I just wish we could help people who are unhappy with what they've happened across find people they'd be happier with following? I have no ideas about how we'd go about doing that at any kind of scale, though.

@thefishcrow I'm doing well. My wife is sick and I'm hoping not to catch whatever it turns out to be. We had sun in Austin yesterday for the first time in what feels like a decade. I'm sure it would feel like about 5 minutes by Portland standards. 😜 About to finish a book that I'm enjoying which means starting a new one that I'm looking forward to. Books are so good.

@balrogboogie 👋🏻 Sure thing.

How's things in your world? Other than potential DB woes.

@kellycrow @DialMforMara I have heard this or similar stuff from some folks new here and I wonder if they just end up following some different folks early on and so wander down different branches of the social graph or what.

Because, yeah, I could do to see a lower percentage of white faces on here, but… it's, like, wall-to-wall trans lesbians on my timeline.

@thefishcrow 👋🏻 How's you this today?

Mornin', y'all. 🌇

@noelle Wow! What a douche canoe!

@signalstation I hear this in Liam Neeson's voice from the Lego Movie: Darn, darn, darny darn darn!

@Egg Fora are social media, IMO. Or else social media only refers to giant "monolithic" platforms. Where "monolithic" isn't an architecture statement, so includes the fediverse.

@Qwyrdo @Maenad Maybe you want there phrase "underrepresented groups"? Or just "tired of typical dude-centric gaming culture" or something. I'm just brain storming, so maybe both those ideas are bad.

@agaric Wait. Ruffian? Rail fan? Same thing? 😜

@agaric So this phrase means "being a ruffian" sorta?

@agaric Railroad foaming?

@Angle @nev @guerrillarain Yeah. Right in some ways, wrong in others. It makes him a good villain, but still a villain.

@Angle @guerrillarain @nev Yeah. Same. "What if this fell into the wrong hands?!?" Fucking… Look, Tony, you just solved the global energy crisis. You just made life easier for everyone on the planet. If you just gave it to people instead of using it only to power fancy robot suits for yourself and your military buddy.

@Angle @nev @guerrillarain Not that that excuses the authors. That's a creative choice that still reinforces the idea of a strong individual solving or problems for us with violence, but… it's super heros and that's kind of baked in.

But it's one of the ways that Erik was right: Giving vibranium weapons to people is at least very egalitarian.
