foyuka wasn’t even banned, they deleted themselves.
Which is annoying in itself but nothing mod related as the post implies.

My hostility is based in self defense and defense of others, that can’t be “overly hostile” while eugenical mass murderers celebrating their acts of harm are below the hostility threshold.

Not trying to strawman here, just trying to follow your logic in the context of that comic that sparked all this… so… anyone going to a con is a nazi mass murderer?

I’d go with a bowtie joint or similar.
Filling the crack is one thing, but I’m not sure I’d be enough to prevent further splitting in the way a bowtie joint would.

Here’s my very lousy non-AI take on this.

I mean the ban in the screenshot expired 3 months ago already.

Coming soon:
Fortran code from 1969 that has been vibe coded since.

Literally the plot of Back To The Future

I’m sorry you have to go through this.
I literally cannot comprehend any parent who won’t realize their child just wants to exist as they are.

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. (Can’t believe I’m quoting the fucking bible of all things, this one is often shortened and misused)

Anyway, it means the bonds you choose to make, the bonds with those who have your back in times of hardship are so much stronger, deeper and meaningful than whatever lottery of being born into whichever family.
I wish they’d come around, but in the meantime, build your covenant.
It might be friends, other family or online folks, but there are people who will accept you as you are.
Surround yourself with them whenever you can.
Cut out those who don’t, it sucks, but if they can’t respect you for who you really are rather than their idea of you, that’s on them.
You deserve better.

The concept of family is nice and all that, but if they don’t have your back on this, they broke that social contract first.
It’s hard enough on its own without having to debate your own existence to your own parents.

For whatever that’s worth from a random stranger, I’m proud of you for setting boundaries.

Eat beets.
Forget you ate beets.
Peek.
Slightly panic for the fraction of a second before you remember you ate beets.

Honestly, the job closest to being actual Santa is delivery people, except without the sketchy omnipresent surveillance putting-people-in-lists part.

Maybe popular among users but somehow not popular among devs?

Ah yea that too!
Sometimes you can kinda get there by hitting the End key, sometimes you need to open the DevTools to get to their About page or change the language or whatever option they put below the endless scroll.

I like chunkier scrollbars. Fuck the tiny disappearing scrollbars where you need to mouse over… somewhere… to maybe be graced with its presence, only for it to be 1px wide for some reason.
Also fuck the endless scroll, especially when you already know what you’re looking for is on page 4 because you had to reload the page for some reason but the infinite scroll didn’t save your position and you have to go down (without an actual scrollbar) only to “load more” 3 times until you’re (maybe) on page 4.

Maybe… “there is no such thing as bad publicity” ?

It is itself hyperbole and it’s by no means absolute, but yea plenty of times where bad publicity is still publicity.

I’ve never seen one in the wild, but it’s a neat idea for bigger events with people who don’t know you.

Start with smaller batteries, take it slow, relax, use lube, you’ll get to D batteries in no time.

Honestly, it’s really not my place to encourage you to do or not do anything (or her).
I’m just saying this kind of connection is special and something to be cherished, to hold on to it, to nurture it, to enjoy its bliss.

Whichever way works for you both is fine, really.
You can choose to try and make what you want out of this connection. By all means, spend time with her, let it develop into what it may.

In our case, both of us already being happy in our own long-term non-poly couples, that’s quite a bit different.
And so we focus on maintaining the privilege to be part of each other’s lives first and foremost without blowing each other’s lives up.

I imagine some/most go on their whole lives without ever meeting this person for them and I feel blessed.

I don’t have a solution to to delete whatever is already done, I’ve never used it.
But to avoid it going forward you could zap the button with uBlock Origin and it’ll remove the button so it won’t happen again.
If you ever need it later, just disable the extension temporarily. (Requires a page reload)

I’m not a religious, spiritual or otherwise superstitious person.
I don’t even know how to say this without sounding crazy, even to myself.

Soul friends are a thing.
I don’t even know what exactly, and a soul doesn’t have to be some weird metaphysical spiritual soul or whatever, but like whatever makes our innermost selves… us?

I don’t think I can fully explain it to someone who hasn’t lived through this, but it feels like this person has always been part of my “self”, so much that I don’t even always see her as separated from me.
Not in a co-dependant way, it just is.
It’s almost like having one brain in two bodies.
A new feeling of wholeness that I can’t begin to describe, and honestly probably don’t need to, at least not to her, she gets it, I get it, whatever.
It doesn’t even need to be romantic, though it could be.
Certainly, none of it fits in a nicely labeled societal box.
And yet, this person is far from perfect and doesn’t need to be. Around each other, our flaws don’t matter anymore, they don’t need to be hidden, we don’t need to play some role or worry about optics or whatever… it’s… her… we accept each other as we are, raw. It’s enough, we’re enough.
We feel safe around each other, sharing stuff we’d never even approach with anyone else.
Without always realizing it, we heal each other of our past, we understand each other and ourselves better just by having each other. We’re brutally honest, yet no judgmental and genuinely caring.

And yet, despite all this, we honestly may not be a good fit as a couple.
I mean there certainly could be worse matches, but we’re best friends first and foremost, although the friends label really doesn’t do justice.

I realized I don’t know why I’m saying all this.
I guess I get excited whenever I see people connecting to each other.
Cherish it for what it is, raw human connection, it’s fine even if you don’t what “it” is.
Peace
