According to the theory of relativity, larger mass, and therefore a larger gravity well, will slow down local time compared to time as measured outside that gravity well.

Therefore being overweight will allow you to live longer, relatively speaking.

It was cold today. Like - 4ยฐC cold. So I wore this long-sleeved black turtleneck t-shirt thing that I bought ages ago.

Of course, just before I was about to leave the house, I stayed getting Milk Tray Man vibes, so I had to throw a hoodie over it to negate them.

This is probably more a post for my UKian friends

Just got told "shut the fuck up, troll" over on bluesky when I questioned a user who said there's "no algo" over there.

Still waiting for someone to answer my question about how the site earns money.

There's some serious levels of delusion going on amongst a lot of the users over there, imo, like it's some kind of magical utopia with no financial pressures etc

Anyone been watching season 6 of ? I swear, there's a noticeable upturn in the amount of times Boyd Crowder goes "WHOOOO!" and it's bugging the shit out of me..

20 year anniversary of Half-Life 2!

I'm guessing most people who'd be interested in the game will already have it but, in case I'm wrong, it's free at the moment:

Putin and Trump are both, in fact, fascists. And their use of the word, though meant to confuse, reminds us of one of fascismโ€™s essential characteristics. ๐€ ๐Ÿ๐š๐ฌ๐œ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฎ๐ง๐œ๐จ๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ซ๐ง๐ž๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ง๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐›๐ž๐ญ๐ฐ๐ž๐ž๐ง ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ฌ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฆ๐ž๐š๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ. He does not serve the language; the language serves him. When a fascist calls a liberal a โ€œfascist,โ€ the term begins to work in a different way, as the servant of a particular person, rather than as a bearer of meaning.

I like @Alfred
Doesn't get involved in anything unless he's asked to, always polite and tries to be helpful, admits his mistakes when he gets things wrong..

We should probably all strive to be more like @Alfred

Anyone here halfway decent at singing and fancies recording themselves singing along to stuff played by someone who can't sing for shit?

Just saw a thing about and sorry, I got commitment issues over that, but here's one of my favourite illustrators ever:

First came across his work around 30 years ago in a shop somewhere around Charing Cross Road that had a stand full of postcards outside.

Just applied for a job.

Which probably doesn't sound like a big deal, but it kinda was for me, 'cos I've recently realised I've got a bit of Imposter Syndrome going on. Not like I'm famous or anything, but I just felt like I don't know enough to apply for certain jobs in my field, despite literally decades of experience.

Today was my "Fuck It" moment. While I didn't disclose *everything* in my application (some of you who follow me will know what I mean), it still feels like fairly big step.

What advice / directives are parents giving their daughters when approached with the "your body, my choice" comments in school? in public? alone? in a group?

Verbal comebacks are not always the safest choice, I don't think.

Saw this on Facebook

If you want/need to get married before 2025 in the Eastern PA and NJ area near Philly - I will do it for free. If you live elsewhere I will find someone to do your wedding.

Late night shopping trip, managed to nab a discounted Meat Feast pizza for dinner - it's in the oven right now, with some extra cheese ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

OOH I JUST REMEMBERED A THING!

Some time ago, I was playing around with the CoSo Realms thingy but, iirc, I could build stuff with no restrictions but couldn't save it as that was a Pro thing - but now I have Pro!

Definitely going to have to mess around with that again soon ๐Ÿ˜
