The man behind the counter will indeed make you coffee, if you ask nicely.

Roguelike where monsters drop procedurally-generated currency, and merchants also accept only one specific procedurally-generated currency. Odds of successfully spending any of the wealth you accumulate are infinitesimal.

More as the weekend continues.

It's been eleven years since the incumbent PM at election time was the same one who won the election.

John Howard was the last PM to actually serve a full term.

I started fact-checking a book about emoji and the book was so hilaribad it turned into a thread-review. https://t.co/DhFnAqFU3z #linguistics

Just moved over to this instance, so, #introduction ? I’m Tracy; I’m ace and nonbinary. I’m a junior producer at a video game studio, with a liberal arts/Classics/language background. I’m big into #Overwatch and #OverwatchLeague, but my main gaming interest has been story-driven RPGs and #tabletop gaming. I have ~45 hours of #tattoos. My children are a cat and a gecko. I LOVE FOOD. I deal (poorly) with depression and chronic pain.

I am strongly in favor of content warnings as an accessibility tool, and I think the cut tag comes in really handy for everything from shortening long posts to cutting the punchline of a joke.

BUT. I have also seen and heard and felt the silencing power of "please cut everything political." It has made me feel like I can't talk about my feminism (ie my LIFE) on Mastodon. Like only part of me is welcome in the fediverse. >

Made it to Sydney for #PyConAU. Greetings from Thursday!

@Annalee @pablod Yeah — at a certain point if I can’t talk openly about swimming or eating or politics or religion or makeup or sometimes feeling sad, then I’ve been frozen right out of participating in any meaningful way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@andrhia Yup. And I'll tell you right now I am actively and intentionally pushing back HARD on the notion that this instance is only for discussing tea and saying positive things about books. I want people to be respectful and considerate, but I also want people to be able to be who they are, including occasionally sad or angry. @pablod

I love Pineapple, and yes, I eat pineapple on Pizza, like a heathen...

But the thing is, I can NOT eat fresh pineapple at all. It will itch way too much. So I can't enjoy that, even if I love the flavour.

I can however have canned pineapple, which, extends itself incredibly well to put on pizza.

So there.

Stop Shaming People For Not Being Able To Eat Nice Fresh Pineapple

This breakdown of gender and age in film dialog is both fascinating a depressing: https://pudding.cool/2017/03/film-dialogue/index.html
