@porsupah refund just came through, at least that was painless

@porsupah @astraluma yeah SL was really helpful for me to be able to experiment with my appearance in various ways and it was also very nice to have plaid skin ;)

@astraluma @porsupah really, furries and anyone else who's dysphoric/dysmorphic

One of the big reasons I got into graphics programming back in the early 90s was for the promise of doing this sort of thing eventually.

@djsundog I started to feel old in 2013: that's when the signs at the grocery store showed that kids who were born when I graduated high school were old enough to buy cigarettes.

@starkatt yeah using a coffee scale has extremely improved my coffee game. I still need to figure out how to get my tamping and shot pulling consistent, but weighing and going by feel has gotten me 90% of the way to espresso nirvana.

@amydentata And fibromyalgia in turn has a huge amount of overlap with ADHD, and similarly is sometimes helped by magnesium. Brains are *weird*

@porsupah yeah and they were two separate SKUs. Anyway I’ve requested a refund on the season 1 SKU.

@porsupah oh I see what happened, the $60 was for the two purchases together.

@porsupah that was from my computer anyway. From my phone it lets me buy the complete series but it charges me $60 even though it lists the price as $30. Definitely contacting support.

@porsupah there’s definitely something weird with how it’s set up. If I follow the link to watch in the TV app the options it gives me is $2.99 per episode for “the complete animated series,” or “more,” which takes me to a different show listing.

@porsupah nope, when I bought it I only got the first 26, and I see no option to get the rest

@porsupah hmm, when I try to buy it, it only shows me season 1 for that price, I think. This is confusing.

@porsupah whoa, that's a pretty good deal. I'd might as well buy that to offset me having torrented the whole friggin' thing

also if you stand in the slot for modern-day humans the light above glows

I just noticed that the floor markings in the museum show the evolutionary tree of everything on the island. Including all potential villagers. Including... youuuuuuu

@slightlyflightyone understandable. I had a feeling someone might think I was talking about contra, but I didn’t want to name any names that I was or wasn’t talking about because that only muddies the waters.

@slightlyflightyone I don't know anything about Peter Coffin, but I'm absolutely not defending Natalie Wynn. A lot of her responses to criticism are *actually* DARVO, as well as incredibly disingenuous.

But when someone doesn't deny the accusations, and doesn't reverse victim and offender, they are by definition not doing that.

And I hate seeing an actually useful concept be distorted in bad faith.

@slightlyflightyone I'm not saying that all callouts are bad or unnecessary or not useful. But I am highlighting one particular tactic that people who make bad-faith callouts make - that they distort the meaning of "DARVO" as part of trying to twist the narrative around to sustain the hate, rather than letting anyone actually heal over what happened.

@slightlyflightyone What brought my thread on was a very specific instance of someone I know who did a troubling thing in the past, and who has admitted to it, done their best to atone for it, and worked very hard to change their behavior afterwards, but is now being caught up in the middle of a swarm of anonymous people sending them a hate mob and trying to destroy their career.

@slightlyflightyone Like. There's no single litmus test for whether someone is acting in good faith or not. You have to be cautious when it comes to things. The world isn't black-or-white.

All too often I've seen peoples' social lives and careers get absolutely ruined by what amounts to a misunderstanding.

And the people I'm thinking of aren't even "cults of personality," they're just people trying to live their lives while also dealing with abuse that they received, past and present.
