Kobolds with a keyboard.
Wow. Someone recently tried to tell me this joke in person. The conversation went like this:
Them: “I’m only friends with 25 of the letters of the alphabet.”
Me: “Why’s that?”
Them: “I don’t know.”
I was completely confused by the interaction. This makes so much more sense.
I love that this sentence works no matter if you interpret that as “Point of sale” or as “Piece of shit”.
I’m not a medical professional nor do I use hearing aids, so I might be misinterpreting the situation here, but are the speakers actually the problem? Presumably the other nurse’s headphones were capable of playing the sounds in that range; the problem was your hearing aid. How does having another speaker playing those same sounds help, if your hearing aid still isn’t able to correctly handle them?
It seems like what you’d actually need is something that can take in the sounds in the 20-100 hz range, but play them back in the 100-3000 hz range, so your hearing aid can pick them up, no?
It’s great. Trump’s ego won’t allow him to just let the Epstein situation go. If he’d just stop talking about it, stop drawing attention to it, stop denying it, it’d have a better chance of going away eventually. As long as he keeps it in the forefront of everyone’s mind, it never will.
Calling it now: Putin and Trump had a falling out, Trump wants Zelenskyy to attack Moscow hoping that it either 1) kills Putin or 2) puts the pressure on Putin to capitulate (to Trump) somehow.
This is nothing to do with ceasefire talks or Ukraine at all. This is between Trump and Putin.
Man, it would be incredible if Epstein and Trump’s inability to shut up about it is what brings this regime down.
I think this is highly dependent on what you’re logging into.
Bank account? Please require both. Some account on a random store website? Could not care less about security, I just want to buy socks.
Yeah, I quite like what we made this year. Wish we’d had more people getting involved - would have been neat to have like, 10 or so small things in there.
Obviously far too early to start planning something, but I think we should go with a collage of instantly recognizable furry gateway characters - Disney’s Robin Hood, Gadget Hackwrench, Nick Wilde / Judy Hopps, Lucario, Renamon, etc. - and prep the image a month or so in advance, then start posting it around a few furry subs to publicize it. If we can get any traction on the design ahead of time, it’d be easier to get people on board with making it.
We’re intending to get organized a bit earlier next year - love to have you then!

Shut up and take my money.
Well, it’s better than putting them in boxes, I suppose!
At some point, he’ll piss off enough people that the world at large will just look the other way when it happens.
The term is connected to misogyny. If someone just wants to give up dating and that’s the end of it, there’s no reason for anyone to be ticked off by that idea. It’s the doomer attitude surrounding it and the effects of it that cause problems. You used the term ‘black pill’, which has specific connotations - it’s not simply choosing to give up dating.
The term black pill, first popularized in the 2010s on the incel blog Omega Virgin Revolt, refers to accepting the futility of fighting against a feminist system. Blackpilled incels are encouraged to either commit suicide or “go ER”/be a “hERo,” referencing Elliot Rodger’s 2014 Isla Vista murder spree that has been called an act of misogynistic terrorism.

Great - that’s what we were trying to go for, but the inability to load multiple templates simultaneously makes it difficult to confirm!
Group Name: Furries of the Fediverse
Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#Fedi_Canvas-Furry-2025:nope.chat
(Not So) Fun Fact: 5.8 million dogs and cats were put up for adoption in 2024, and in the same year, there were only 4.2 million adoptions. Consider a shelter animal rather than a breeder for your next pet, and consider donating to your local animal rescue.
Anyone else making furry or generally animal themed art is more than welcome to drop their own art in / around these. If you’ve got something you’re planning to draw, and want to pop into the above linked Matrix chat, we’ll try to integrate it and update the template.
@[email protected]: I don’t believe we’re intersecting your tree, but if we are, we’ll go behind it, not over it.
For real, though - if your friends stop being your friends just because they find out you’re a furry, they weren’t your friends in the first place. Having to hide your interests from your friends isn’t the basis for a healthy friendship.
