I think its just a play on t’was referring to the past but also has similar sounds to twink. So just a play on used to be a twink.

You might be thinking of de-clawing, which is a surgical procedure where the whole first joint is removed. Just trimming might hurt an outdoor cats ability to hunt, but they probably shouldn’t be outside anyway.

I’ve touched on a few similar themes myself (see my doppelganger) https://yiffit.net/post/3113251 and https://yiffit.net/post/11919426 Since those posts I’ve joined in a few other places online and I’m not sure I really feel a part of those groups, but I do feel free to just be me there (here too usually). In person stuff hasn’t really changed though. I’ll disagree with omegamouse on one thing, I don’t think the lockdown has as much impact as they think. The bubble building and online validation had been building for a long time, I think it was more of a correlation as opposed to a causation.

For self hosting there is also https://forgejo.org/ which is a fork of https://about.gitea.com/ , the latter of which started to shift to a corporate model.

lookin good

I don’t know if this is part of the case, but browsers basically control standards, and with the size of chrome, that means google controls the standards. The browser is a big aspect of the ad pipeline. Because they have the browser they could direct page views to themselves more than they do by using amp links. Even with blocking cookies and such, chrome still sends data back to google. There was the whole logon scheme they were pushing (I don’t remember the name) that only chrome would be able to do. There is a lot you can direct to yourself if you control the main access method.

Even if everyone was on full wets, they bring it out for visibility and hydroplaning. I think that’s part of the reason no one switched to full wets. They knew if conditions got bad enough to need them, the SC would come out and there might be a red flag too.

Alonso sounded like he was in real pain.

I think its part of the seat belt mechanism.

I voted over a week ago, and I send a daily reminder to a group I’m in.
