@MPCavalier I used to live right beside the JPR site. My love for it is coloured by hearing drunks puke in our alley and the little JPR mascot statue laugh for 12 hours straight.

So today is French class day. And outside is sunny. And I want to go to french class, but I also want to go and walk in the sun and being an adult always seems to be about choosing the right, but sort of crap thing.

@MPCavalier 3 years younger. Just means we know to buy better ear plugs.

@MPCavalier Also that was at the Maurice Richard arena, back when they still had shows there.. so that was cool as well.

@MPCavalier of note, it appears I'm older than dirt.

@TheRuralProgressive Like, people will get it, or they won't. The "use CW for long posts" reply was quite a bit past passive aggressive and firmly into just snide and aggressive.

@MPCavalier I think I saw them.. mb six times. Probably the best was the 1995 show here. Bad Brains were supposed to open. They had some kind of fracas, Beastie Boys came out and said "so they can't play.. give us 20 minutes and we'll basically open for ourselves". I think they played every song they knew. By the end of the concert every surface was slick with condensation from sweating people.

@MPCavalier and live? Oh god so good live.

@TheRuralProgressive Some of the "use CW" discourse over there is.. erm.. Like, yes, obvious stuff, go for it. And a discussion of what counts as "obvious" or "needs a cw" is clearly a thing that should happen. But CW because your post has many words? Like? Dudes? Chill.

Honestly, the pay stub arriving in my email always makes me feel a bit more relaxed.

@razorbunz yep.

@Shelter @singlemaltgirl No, thank you.

Right.. I need to wash the french press (have I ever mentioned I wish we had a staff kitchen? Because I do. Washing coffee stuff in the loo is.. gross) and make some coffee and yeah, blargh.

@razorbunz I think of those like the colon is the bouncer and everyone's gotten a bit restive. OUT EVERYONE OUT.

@Shelter @singlemaltgirl yeah, I don't know how that happened. I've never written it that way before. But yes. Point taken.

@researchbuzz @Shelter @singlemaltgirl I have not, to be fair, heard anything negative from neurodivergent folks, or at least not folks having issues for being neurodivergent.

@Shelter @singlemaltgirl the local punk one seems to be full anarchist/antifa and will nuke shit from orbit if it even starts looking stupid.

@Shelter @singlemaltgirl Aye. I'm hearing transfolks aren't having a great time either on some instances. I'm on a NZ instance because a lot of friends are there and I fit in as honorary Aotearoan, so it's pretty small and chill. A friend who is super progressive also runs an instance, if I get annoyed where I am, I'll move there.. There is also a local punk one.

@singlemaltgirl no, Mastodon is having issues with people who aren't like me. There have been some folks banned this week/weekend for having discussing racism and other stuff.

@singlemaltgirl I'm white. Very very white. Like mayo. I moisturise, so I'm not aging like mayo in the sun.
