Bard spotting on Bluesky 17 August 2024

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

For many years, my core model of Social Media has been of

Tables in a Restaurant (or Café).

Imagine that you have walked into a restaurant, and there are people seated around a table. You would like to join the conversation they're having; Conduct yourself accordingly.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

This includes the social function of

Gaining Consent For The Interaction

"Hello, I'm interested in joining this conversation, may I?"

"I would like to talk to you about X, would you be open to that?"

"Would you tell me more about Y?"

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

There's an assumption that's been made … I think some time around 1985 … that because "Message Boards are Asynchronous Communication", that these conventions for Gaining Consent should be set aside, or are un-necessary.

Now is a good time to challenge that assumption.

This is amazing chutzpah from the paper that led the charge to push Biden out

>Suddenly win the dogfight

Many such cases!

Hairpin knife edge turn and a leapfrog! All the Gs pulled

The aircraft's g-tolerance is within the range of 14g, the pilot's on the other hand...

The enemy aircraft is far more maneuverable under normal circumstances, superior in one and two circle, however mine is a VTOL, and there were some interesting maneuvers devised for the Harrier back in the day..

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Down to one hate subreddit being banned a week, now. This week's one will have been made 5 years ago, banned for being unmoderated, redditrequested a year ago, and then abandoned by the mods, prompting a rising tide of 4chan grade hatred & violence

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Some people - young men especially - think it proves their worth to subject themselves to videos of war & gore.

Online neoNazis figured that out around 2012, and got in front of it. Now it's all a radicalisation pipeline to stochastically recruit terrorists.

illumi (@illumi.meme):

people on the internet will be like "i saw a picture of dozens of dead bodies" and it's like… you know you don't have to do that right? it's okay to just look at cat memes and stuff sometimes.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Angel Maury: … and last up, we will be reincarnating Children's Fiction Author #5, English Language.

God: OK but this time let's make a small improvement, make her works critical of the genre

AM: Genre ✏️📝… Critical. Got it.

2 Weeks Later:

Angel Ollie: 'zat say "Gender Critical"? … well, OK~

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

It's worth noting also that the semantic drift from Latin to Norman French to Modern English of "Genre" also accounts for evolution deniers, or "speciation critical"

Somewhere, there's an angel in charge of tweaking souls that stopped its education in the 6th c. and never took CE courses on Humans

3 am and i've got a migraiiiiiine (kill me)

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Une perit mort, perhaps

I am certain you do not wish to argue that several years ago you assaulted me at Tanglewood Forest. Several of your fellow company members have chased me and thwapped me with Amtgard -legal boffer weapons on Company Road while I was making announcements on behalf of Kingdom Officers.
