T-Mobile Root CA, Side tangent included
Although I'm sure they are aware of it, T-Mobile's Root CA that is preloaded and trusted on every device is due to expire in roughly 2 months.
As a side note, I wish the trusted authorities were... oh I don't know.. Actually authorities I personally trusted?
Like yeah it's a pain in the ass but having a bunch of CA's I've never approved of being able to sign a fake cert that would be automatically trusted just doesn't sit right with me anymore.
The chicken and the egg is an eggs-istential dilemma
I like getting gas in New Jersey. I get to feel pampered. Yesterday was extra special. The attendant filled my tank and then sent me off with "enjoy your computation and your mission on earth, young man"

Sometimes we dragons set things we love on fire. Sometimes we set things we dislike on fire. Sometimes we just set things on fire.
We like fire, okay? It's not our fault your mortal possessions are so flammable.

Dragons have no use for money.

politics meta and general discourse
"If you didn't do anything wrong, then there's nothing to worry about" is a terrible position to take, because it mistakes fear and ignorance for guilt and maliciousness. It also allows for authoritarian abuse of power.
Not calling out any particular ideology here - this is just a common thing I see among people, and it annoys the heck out of me.
When I was a kid, I used to ask people what grade they were in. Age wasn't a concept to me, but the 3rd graders were old. I used to ask college kids what grade they were in. They had to think a bit and finally said 16th grade. I was like woah and looked at them like they were Gandolf

In the future, people won't play video games. They'll watch AI's playing them on Twitch competitively and will participate by buying boosters to help their favorite AI

Weird scientific fantasies - otherkin
Can't wait until we can grow fox bodies in the lab from stem cells with my blood type and transplant brains into them.
Hopefully by then, insurance will cover it.
Stores that have special spots for customers with infants should also have special spots for customers with the flu so they don't have to walk so far in the cold weather
Politics
Yet another reason why "child safety" locks should be outlawed... student thought killer's car was an #Uber

The European Parliament just passed a copyright directive containing #Article13, or the "meme ban." We are concerned about the amount of power this directive could give monopolistic tech giants, but our #VPN can always be used to access blocked content. https://protonvpn.com/blog/article-13/
No wonder I like #Stellaris. It's made by the same people who made #CitiesSkylines

Me:
I am neither cute nor valid.
Cute and valid people:
Yes you are!
Me:
Hm... what if I identify as not-cute and non-valid?
