@[email protected] When I want to block images on a site, I do it with uBlock Origin, which is a content blocking extension for Firefox. It stops them from being downloaded so sites load faster, however, it also makes the web look like this until you turn off image blocking.
(Screenshots of what it looks like with image blocking on, the extension on the Firefox add-on site, and the image blocking setting in the extension).

@lydiaconwell Your frustration is rightful.

So I watched Jabberwocky #review #critique
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076221/
It's a pretty good movie and far better than Erik the Viking https://mas.to/@lydiaconwell/106878185163757091
But in a sense this #film is mired by the same failing as Erik the Viking: the film makers were too stuck on the concept of making a comedy.
Jabberwocky has some funny parts, sure, but I think it's a more enjoyable movie if you don't see it as a comedy.

I suppose what I mean when I say this https://social.bau-ha.us/@LydiaConwell/106161392773645037 is:
If shuffling on a media player was anywhere close to random you wouldn't expect to frequently hear the same songs. So I think what I really want to know is:
Why is computer randomisation so bad?
Please answer as if you are talking to a simpleton who knows nothing.

CW: CWs are great!
CWs are a polite way of giving others the ability to avoid seeing things that might impact them negatively.
Think that there are many people with emotional health issues or trauma that are driven out from a society or social media community that doesn't give a shit about their needs.However, we also have to be aware that liberal bootlickers that demand "please CW politics" or "I don't want to see descriptions of experiences of racism because I rather prefer to continue with my privileged life" do not deserve so much consideration. (using hashtags such as #USelections can be a good thing though, because the dominance of some events can be really annoying and such hashtags allow people to mute these posts)
Suggestion:
- putting CWs on heavily traumatizing stuff (sexual violence, disturbing images etc.) is community care.
- See CWs also as a tool to put informative titles/mini-resumes on your posts. Then you will like the function a lot :QueerCat: -

When exactly was #labour EVER anti-NATO - pray tell?
The UK was a founding member in 1949 - at which time #labour - under the no-doubt dangerously right-wing Clem #Attlee - formed the government
I appreciate that some on the far left wish it were not so - but #labour has NEVER been the far left party of their fantasies.....

I just figured out that my mom's Hyundai Tucson has a semiautomatic mode! Wooooo!
You just put the shifter to the left when it's in drive. -

## Nervousness During Conversations
Is it okay for someone to take their time when responding to someone else?
It makes me feel nervous when I have to respond to someone immediately, especially if I don't have a lot to say at the time.
Sometimes I prefer to just sit in the present with someone rather than talk about "the weather" or "work" or "school," you know?
If someone does say something to me, I want to have time to sit with what they said to me, and think about it before I respond.
Even if I don't respond, and I just listen, I think that's better than the constant chatter.
## What Is the Expectation?
Is there an expectation that people have to respond immediately, or is that just me?
Where did it come from? Why don't we talk about it?
If the expectation was "Respond if you have something to say," would it be better? :menherawave:
P.S.
I know that there are some people who do very well with this style of conversation, but there are also people like me who struggle with it.

But exactly. Moving from the #Tories to #TheLabourParty is going to be a fairly easy move policy-wise. Racism and utter corruption will make them feel immediately at home as well. Plus the totalitarian, anti-democracy, anti-worker, pro-rich, pro-trickle instincts.
And that lovely #HierarchyOfRacism which #KeirStarmer - the enthuasistic #Zionist - has a matter of policy... that should feel familiar too.
No real point in moving.
