I went to a couple social dances hosted by a local ballroom dance club. I like pretending I’m someone else, someone cool, since I don’t know anyone there.

Isolating variables like this is so cool!

Such a cute name, and it seems like it suits her!

Watched Asteroid City recently for the first time. I thought the play within the movie (and the intertwining back and forth of storylines) was really interesting and entertaining.

JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT. MUCH JOY HAS BEEN BROUGHT AND, DARE I SAY, WROUGHT.

Were you ever in marching band? I got relatively good at that after putting my all into marching band in high school.

What was it?

Thanks, stole it myself!

So the desired response is, “What is “what is up dog?”?”?

That’s impressive. Is it still licensed under a libre copyleft license? Surely that’s too good to be true.

I’m honored!

My bad. Text rather than images.

Usually bots are created with minimal effort. They post porn or affiliate links or something, and then they spam like / follow people to get people to click on their username and view their blog. They get quickly banned, and then they come back with another username. Shitty little pornbots.

It’s a Q: a bunch of vowels are lined up behind it!

It’s fun! Tumblr has been basically singlehandedly supporting the textpost meme industry on Instagram for years. I like that Tumblr tends to tilt toward text rather than words images; here’s my favorite example of that:

If you’re thinking of joining, the #1 thing to remember is to reblog (and optionally tag) things you like, not just tap the heart icon. Tumblr is for curating a blog of things you like, and if you don’t reblog anything, you look like a bot and you will get blocked. Also, likes don’t actually do anything for the algorithm; likes are more like “save for later”.

You decide your own algorithm, to some extent, by hitting Follow on people whose blogs you like. I like that. I think it might resonate with Lemmy users too :)

I’m East Asian. My ex (also Asian) said I smelled bad sometimes after exercising, but my current partner (not Asian) says I don’t have any body odor. I do think that when we go to the gym together, their smell far outweighs mine. I can’t smell myself at all, but then again, people are usually habituated to their own scents.

Sometimes, though, when I was a child, my father would come home from the gym, and we could all smell him from a mile away. I don’t know if that’s because the gene skipped him or if it’s just because humans generally think their close family members are stinky.

It’s nice to talk about this when my armpits aren’t in danger of being sniffed by several drunk friends.

Thanks for the explanation! I’ve taken the liberty of posting this to bestoflemmy:

Is that why they use tú for God?

What a glorious description.

Network Time Protocol? Cool, didn’t know that!
