Last Notes npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…0gdg planting native pollinator-friendly flowers is a great step to take. The more ground space those take up, the more bees you'll attract and also the less water you'll need to use. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @[email protected] doing the hard-hitting job of...*checks notes*...supporting Amazon's propaganda. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 ooh, I know this one. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 I guess I should clarify too, I don't just mean they raise boys who are polite to women or respect women. I mean they raise boys who don't have learned helplessness, who don't run to their moms to get all their emotional needs met, and who ultimately seek equity and partnership in their relationships. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 I appreciate that as a society we're celebrating "girl dads" who smash the patriarchy. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 he probably doesn't have to. In red states/districts, it's the primary that matters. Especially if you want to get rid of people like MTG. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 bunch of temporarily embarrassed oligarchs. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…5xhf yep. Also it's clear from their propaganda campaign, Iran *really* understands the American people. They clearly understand that they don't have to fight the US to get them out of the Strait of Hormuz. $5/gal gas will do that for them. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 I've been thinking about this some this morning, and I think I'm landing on the theory that Iran sees it as much more in their interest to behave like the adult in this conflict. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado There's a word for taking code you didn't write, running it through tests you didn't write, and putting it in production. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 it's one big gish gallop, and I don't think enough people realize that. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 if you have the space, Half Price Books would probably love you to take one of their encyclopedias off their hands. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 Iranians are brown, the western world is racist af. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 I'm constantly baffled by men and what they think they got into with marriage. Or maybe, how they pick their partners. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 with the caveat that this is waaay outside my wheelhouse: is that liberal movement how we got things like the US Declaration of Independence stating that all men are created equal and they have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...while enslaving other humans? npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 do we get bonus points if a SCOTUS Justice dies or steps down and Democrats just approve whoever Trump nominates? npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 he has to have known. He and his wife are pretty savvy as far as I can tell. They're certainly not dumb. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 I don't think you're wrong, but I also don't think those questions ever get answered during wartime. Wars are like ongoing police investigations writ large--nobody who knows things is going to actually talk to the press and give them info that could be exploited by the other side. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado Apropos of nothing, if you think a declining birth rate inherently means economic collapse, you're probably racist whether you know it or not. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 I can't believe we're running an extortion scheme on Iran. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado Just seen on Reddit: npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 the way to do that is the grandparents visit the kids in the kids' home, or everybody goes to a 3rd place like a restaurant or Airbnb. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 there's a relevant line in the movie Troy: npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 if you can wrap your head around how neighbors interact without calling the cops or an HOA representative, you understand anarchy. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 this is making me think of how like most people understand society as a big monolithic structure, like a giant company with lots of rules and policies. They can't quite wrap their head around the idea that society *could* be a bunch of teeny tiny companies no bigger than a family. How does that work? Well, all those teeny tiny companies talk and figure it out in their teeny tiny local contexts. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…vvev @nprofile…9g8s while "he lost money with a casino" is a funny story, they money wasn't lost. It just wasn't in the casino where the casino could pay its bills. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 *sigh* npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…nmr0 OMG that is so cute though! npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado One of these days, people will read posts with girl-coded avatars and get the point on the first try. They won't need someone with a boy-coded avatar to say the exact same thing before they express understanding instead of argument. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado This is it folks, this is the most white man thing that someone could say. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado Addendum to this (thanks @nprofile…dv4q !): the receipts a victim of harassment could show won't help stop anything, it's all sock puppet accounts. The most information they can share is "see look, this *happens*. It happened to *me*." npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado "But Dave, why don't they moderate?" npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado If you're a white person on the Fediverse and you've never seen someone called a slur, or threats made against them--congratulations! You don't follow any dirtbags. But, it's happening every day and it's being hidden from you. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado How (racist/sexist/whatever) harassment on Mastodon works: npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…ryua feels very both/and. Musk ordered it and there wasn't a trust and safety team to try to stop the people implementing it. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…ekm4 "I'm short compared to the top 0.001%" doesn't make you "not tall", sorry. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…ekm4 the prince in Cinderella was actually an android. It wasn't a foot fetish, it was biometric authentication. I mean seriously, it's not like glass can function as footwear. It was obviously a 3D scanner. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…ekm4 in the US race is *always* a component of interactions between white and Black people. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…0p0d @nprofile…a0g8 that's exactly what he's talking about. They're doing that because the analysts won't shut up about it. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…lwgl exactly! That's absolutely how I explain Jesus' parables to people. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…lwgl yeah, in Genesis 1 the world is water then dry ground is formed. In Genesis 2 the world is dry ground then water rises up from it. There's also discrepancy about the order of people, animals, and plants being created. Genesis 1 goes plants -> fish -> animals -> people. Genesis 2 goes plants(?) -> man -> animals/birds (no fish) -> woman. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…lwgl Christian here. Fully agree. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…lwgl like skin moisturizer? If England is anything like the US, that goes in the "eew icky girl stuff" section of stores along with hair products and menstruation products. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…06tu @nprofile…h9qy language didn't produce reason. It was the other way around, reason produced a complex communication system we call "language". npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…wn7t in a world where DOGE exists, this is less funny than you thought it was. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…lwgl it's the homeowner version of being vegan. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…lwgl there have been 27 Bond movies, I think it's ok for the series to be put out to pasture. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…lwgl not sure if this will help you with your feed, but I turned off boosts and a remarkable amount of doomscroll content disappeared. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…lwgl I’m sad that kid missed. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…hujc @nprofile…89wx now if only anybody gave a shit what you think, they might care about winning you over. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…lwgl yeah, especially early on. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @nprofile…lwgl nice to see Silicon Valley (the show) is still prophetic. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @npub1khx…geyg that show is on the wrong side of the country for me, but your taste is impeccable. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @npub1a4g…yuyx omg this is the cutest story. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @npub1t00…kx23 immediately? No. It usually takes me way too long to figure it out on my own. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado Hachyderm.io has its problems as an instance, but they published a GREAT explainer for moderation on Mastodon. It's part 1 of a series, but I found it particularly useful for describing the experience of BIPOC folx compared to white folx. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @npub1r4h…u0jf yep. There's the progressive/conservative axis, the authoritarian/libertarian axis (lawful/chaotic for the DnD folks), good/evil, and I'm sure others. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @npub1afz…wdvg wait, so I should *not* be taking baths in bleach mixed with horse tranquilizer? 🤣 npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @npub1afz…wdvg I somehow got the YouTube algorithm to recommend that sort of content about USPol, except it's a 10 minute video. 😡 npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @npub1t00…kx23 I have a question--who was the greatest synthpop artist of all time and why was it Martin Gore? npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @npub1cx7…8tc2 I am pointing out that you say "can't" when you mean "won't". npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @npub1dzv…5v2p oh hey look, somebody found the NSA's backdoor. npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @npub1k80…8rd5 I love seeing your bike radio posts, thanks Jim! npub1a8zmug7hwxf3lwd3u2tckn67ey25wc2eldxa3s93ectu8kjl4tusuxvsmu Dave Alvarado @npub1gmx…atcq I feel so old now. This is how music used to come.
