istg I need to use TwXtter less because I'll give a like to a post that I think makes a genuinely good point and Elon's algorithm will be like "Okay so if you agree with that surely you'll agree with this extremely bigoted take that's only vaguely adjacent!"

In Paper Mario, Mayor Penguin is found seemingly dead, with Mario being suspected of his murder. However, if a letter is delivered to him during that time, he will get up, thank Mario, and promptly go back to being dead. Unfortunately, this cannot prove Mario's innocence.

I don't know what's worse Mod files only being available on A Discord server Or mod files only being available on GitHub

Had people criticize my gripes against RPGs (e.g. the repetitive battles that can quickly feel grindy) by saying "That's just what RPGs are" My dude I literally said that's why I don't like RPGs. When giving reasons why I don't like a genre, I give a staple of said genre I dislike, big shocker.

How is the internet still a place where you can exclusively use a credit card for like 50% of purchases in the year of our lord 2026? Just let me use PayPal or something PLEASE The world just hates Europe ig

Not a fan of people assuming they know what my life is like better than me Less a fan of people then using those assumptions to judge me Even less a fan of society accepting such judgmental behavior

I know people say it's better to be early than late but when I miss my bus because it's five minutes early I'm not exactly gonna be relieved Anyway guess what just happened to me

I like to play devil's advocate and stuff but I cannot envision even a single reason to make this weird restriction that doesn't boil down to greed

"We should be nice to each other and call people out who discriminate!" *someone calls someone else out for discriminating* "Ok but not like that"

Mfw someone joins a server, writes an introductory message, says "Feel free to DM me if you wanna have a chat! :)" and then ghosts me when I DM them while still being active in the server Dawg what

Today I learned the US celebrates Labor Day on another day than most other countries Been seeing a bunch of videos about it today and I was questioning if I'd traveled through time But hey we don't celebrate it at all so what the fuck do I care πŸ™ƒ

Went to a chapel a couple weeks ago to light a candle and make some wishes and the polar opposite of every single one of those wishes has come out God's pulling pranks on me

What if moms never stopped saying their kids ages in months and while talking about me my mom was like "Oh yeah they're 306 months old"

YouTube video essayists be like "And after that, Amelia Earhart disappeared. To this day, nobody knows her whereabouts. But massive corporations always know your whereabouts. That's why this video is sponsored by Incogni."

Even with me muting every possibly sensitive word under the sun TwXtter is really trying to push racist, transphobic and utterly braindead junk onto my feed Hello Bluesky how are you

My last post was about annoying people on a train, and lo and behold, this morning I was harassed on a train! I love trains but the people on them can be a toss-up.

These people screaming at the top of their lungs on a train pretending they're funny are already bad enough but it's even worse when it's a fucking silent compartment Grow up
