"#Armorizers" -- kind of like Rock Lords, but they're really just #Transformers with rocky bodies. Whatever, as long as the limbs come off and can be wielded as clubs by my Dinobots.

Uncivil obedience is the stepchild of the more familiar form of protest, civil disobedience.

Instead of violating unjust laws, protestors follow the law (but in a way that undermines its very rationale).

Examples include atheists who have used laws to keep ‘pornography’ out of schools to request that the Bible be banned, and the Satanic Temple, which has used rules permitting religious after-school clubs to found clubs for young Satanists.

@TheConversationUS I think the more common term is “malicious compliance”.

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting to get a second season of #Transformers #EarthSpark after the terribly muddled ending to the first season. But I’m glad to see it’s happening.

    @Teri_Kanefield magical and faerie law is generally held to a more literal interpretation of the agreement. Finding loopholes isn’t cheating, it’s part of the fun.

    This is your periodic reminder that “move fast and break things” is a great business philosophy for video games, but maybe not so great for things like your life savings or personal identifying information.

    I realized all my French stereotypes are vintage 1940s. I'd like to remain xenophobic, but could y'all recommend some more up to date prejudiced generalizations?

    “I’m interested in hearing from anyone and everyone who was involved in the fanzine scene of the 80s and 90s, including but certainly not limited to the people behind Trans-Scrypt, Victory Saga, Trans Spoof, Cillacon, Balance of Power, TransNet and Transformers Bootleg”

    I think it’s time to accept that after five months without an update, @tootapp isn’t being developed anymore, and it’s time to look for a viable alternative on iOS if I want its quirks to ever be fixed.

    It's always fun seeing people who don't run servers barging into the FediBlock tag like "Defederation is wrong, you can't just defederate from opinions you don't agree with!" like I defederated from "rapemeat.solutions" because of their political opinions.

    @trixter Idiots online still think “freedom of speech” means that complete strangers are legally required to listen to and subsidize their soapbox. The software is free, buddy; go spin up your own instance.

    @AutisticAdam Don’t forget “make it clear how much money they are expected to bring and spend.” I remember a couple of times that an otherwise wonderful evening out with my brother was ruined, emotionally, because I didn’t understand there was a two-drink minimum.

    “Some conservatives, including allies of former President Donald Trump, have pushed hand-counting ballots as a way to ensure the accuracy of election results. But Mohave County's experience punctures that talking point, showing that hand-counting is typically expensive, inaccurate and impractical.”

    Arizona Republicans wanted to hand-count ballots. Then they saw the price tag — and the errors:

    Not sure why I bought two copies of the #Transformers War Dawn Erial/Dion 2-pack, but oh well.

    Anyone international here want a copy who can’t buy it through normal channels? I’m willing to sell it at cost plus shipping.

    #RPAdmin: I have decided that I will be Limiting federation with the new social.bbc server on retro.pizza. This is based on feedback from users here and in the wider Fediverse who are from the UK and are familiar with how much harm they've done to the transgender community there.

    "Limit" makes posts from accounts at this domain invisible to anyone who isn't following them. You will still be able to follow accounts from there.

    @trixter I’m cool with this. This is one of those “I don’t have much information, and I’m not personally affected, so I’m going to listen to the people who are” situations and trust that they know what’s up.

    Just keep on making non-cis-male #Transformers, Hasbro. I’ll keep buying all of them as long as you keep selling them.

    @BBCRD Excellent! I’m looking forward to a future where every news organization, company and NGO has its own federated social media so companies like XTwitter can’t dictate who they can communicate with.

    392 years ago, the English mathematician and clergyman William Oughtred introduced the multiplication sign ✕ for the first time. via @fermatslibrary.

    Oughtred was the first to use logarithmic scales and sliding by one another to perform direct multiplication and division. He is credited with inventing the slide rule in about 1622. He also introduced the abbreviations "sin" and "cos" for the sine and cosine functions. via @wikipedia

    mighty_orbot,
    @mighty_orbot@retro.pizza avatar

    @gutenberg_org @wikipedia The slide rule was an irreplaceable tool for scientists and engineers for 350 years until the electronic calculator was invented. It’s hard to overstate the importance of this invention and its impact on 18th, 19th and 20th-century technology.

    Hello world! Twitter/X refugee here. I'm still trying to get used to this website, looking for people to follow and stuff like that.

    I live in Finland. My interests include retro gaming, chiptune music (or electronic music in general) and programming. My favorite game is Doom (1993), so a lot of my posts will probably be about it.

    Let's become friends!

    mighty_orbot,
    @mighty_orbot@retro.pizza avatar

    @ChippiHeppu welcome! There’s a lot to learn about Mastodon, but perhaps the most important thing is to use #hashtags regularly — it’s possible to follow them, and without an algorithm, it’s the best way to show your toots to new people.

    mighty_orbot,
    @mighty_orbot@retro.pizza avatar

    @ChippiHeppu Adding and pinning an #introduction toot with your favorite interests as hashtags is another good way to meet people. You can edit and update it whenever you like.
