it really pleases me that because of scheduling conflicts gay pride events end up lasting all summer so the whole summer, everyones favorite season, is gay. get fucked
I'm exactly high enough to suddenly become aware that I'm unsolicitedly posting "throw cheese at it" to every cybertruck post I encounter the way redditors mention feet in photos
At Culver’s and there’s a bunch of teenagers in the booth next to us who are clearly not from #Madison (yay WIAA state tournaments). They’re discussing visiting the “bad parts” of downtown…
@james@annika a more forceful reason is it's easy for bad actors to join, so you're more likely to see unmoderated hate speech and spam, and less likely to see good posts because other servers tend to block it for the above hate speech and spam
@Anarkat not to be That Guy, but it does. There's a wholeass technical diagram with ratios embedded in the flag code. The one thing the US government is good at is pedantic diagrams

Charcoal can shoot fireballs from the palms of their hands! Extremely cool! Except Charcoal isn't fireproof. Even brief use of their ability leaves them with first-degree burns; a boss-level fight risks leaving them in need of skin grafts or even losing their hands completely, and results in weeks to months of agonizing pain.
@cstross@drwho also every comically bad superpower has probably appeared in X-Men.
