Oh yeah I know, I wasn't thinking about dating. I'm hideous. I just want to meet someone who doesn't loathe me. I think it would be nice

ETA I do think being straight is easier even if dating is hard. None of the straight people I know have families trying to cast demons out of them, none of them make friends only to later hear them talking about how their demographic are secretly trying to corrupt America and kill the Jewish people, et cetera.

New job on the way, I should be happy, but I feel insanely depressed.

I wish I didn't live over an hour away from the gay nightlife. I wake up at 5 and everything starts after I've been awake for 16 hours. I'm too sleepy and anemic to make the drive.

I had to see my family and listen to them talk about how jealous they are that I'm forced to live in such a "quaint" backwater shithole even though I've told them I hate it. It must be soooooo easy to be straight. I have to jump through hoops to meet someone who doesn't loathe me, and they're all jealous.

There is no wake up call for Harry Potter fans, because they wanted this. Why the fuck else would they fund it?

Stop acting like they're anything less than transphobic wastes of oxygen, for the love of god.

Been going to the gym whenever possible, not the solid routine I'd like, but I'm still enjoying it. Pruned some houseplants that went crazy after a VERY long depression. A few of them might bounce back, we'll see.

Also got a few works in progress going. They gave us flowers at work so I have one pressing under a book right now, and I'm trying to propagate the stem. Not confident, but I hate to waste a flower, so I'm trying. Also picked a bunch of succulent leaves up off the floor at work. Hopefully something grows 🤞

Nah. I'm not 100% against it, some are fun or useful in concept, but I'm here to talk to people, and threads littered with grammar corrections and Sokka haikus get old.

If there was an effective vetting process for useful bots, eg the repost sleuth bot, that'd be nice. But the "good bot"/"bad bot" voting system just became its own form of spam.

That's awesome, I'm glad you have people you can depend on.

If I'm being honest, my family is more like an anchor. None of them ever learned to help themselves and that still expect me to do it. I'm just going to try to change the part of my personality that wants a social life.

Rough as usual. Overworked, underappreciated. I have a driving test coming up for a new job, but my current job won't give me the day off, and I don't want to quit until I've passed that test. I'll work it out, it's just stressing me out.

Multiple people online and in person have been unpleasant dicks to me when I honestly wasn't trying to do anything wrong and it kind of depresses me. I want a social life but I hate people.

I mean, I assume?

I found the bot promoted in a different Telegram channel dedicated to making and sharing AI-generated nonconsensual pornography which has about 50,000 members.

This isn't thought policing... First off, these are actions, but second, no one's policing it.

People still don't know what Mastodon is. I mentioned it recently and someone asked, "isn't it mostly white supremacists?"

Tell him they're ghosts, and the whole joke is that Mystery Inc. keeps finding random guys dressed as ghosts and somehow don't notice all the ghosts yelling right there

Kind of, and it was a good way to keep trolls and spammers out of sensitive communities, but unfortunately with bots and astroturfing existing nowadays, karma incentives terrible behavior.
