@textfiles oh... no. One of those moments where you wonder if they're actively TRYING to cause trouble.

@john Thanks! May we use this on instances?

@Panelfmedia yeah. I don’t currently have them blocked, but it’s a haven for fans of a very libertarian podcast.

@mrmcmayhem I find it fascinating when proponents of free speech and thought instantly turn to calling other people fascists because of a minor difference of opinion. Because, you know, I literally just defended your instance as a haven for libertarians… which isn’t a bad thing. So I’ll chalk this up to speed reading, awkward misunderstandings, and fast fingered insults. Stop being a dickish snowflake and join the conversation like an adult, if you can.

@mrmcmayhem and that’s how you get your whole instance blocked, folks. 😂

@stux@mstdn.social @stux@gram.social I’m seeing this on Mastodon, if that helps you diagnose things at all.

@stux I haven’t really seen it. Like, my wife and ex both got access to a car once they had a license, but in both cases the car was a cheap ancient used thing that their parents either already owned or got for about the cost of a decent phone or laptop. I drove family cars until I got a teaching job. My dad helped me buy my first car, but that was family politics. My daughter drives her deceased great-grandmother’s car, but doesn’t own it.

That varries state by state. In Maryland (where I live now) new drivers have to get 60 hours of supervised practice, take a class that includes driving practice, pass a computer test, and pass a driving test. Back when I was a teen in Virginia it was similar, but I admit that I used a loophole where I didn’t apply for a license until I was 19, so I didn’t have to take a class. @stux @BintyMcFrazzles

@vees yeah, up in Carroll County I had to steer against the wind a few times when driving between open fields.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good instance?Not super thrilled about it, but I think I’m going to be switching over to an instance with other users. I like my little corner of the internet, but I feel a little isolated over here… plus I have enough other projects about to launch that I don’t have time to admin. I am…Self/friend/family diagnosed #AuDHD#Exvangelical Aspiring #YouTuber / #ContentCreator#LotR nerd, including #RingsOfPower#Polyamorous #Gamer#Queer#Teacher#Nerd

Just setting up my mstdn. For, like, the fourth time. Seriously, I should be more careful with my server or just join a public server… but I’m having fun with it.

Wife is practicing songs for a funeral this afternoon. It's sad, but I'm so glad to hear her singing again.

I don’t like TikTok, but the more the government gets pissy about it the more I want to use it.

Playing #MTG with brothers while wife, girlfriend, and meta watch old World of Warcraft buddies play #DnD. This is fantastic.
