boundaries
If you involve yourself regularly with drama or queer community/fandom/social justice discourse, you may interact, but I will probably not follow back and may mute you if it is pervasive enough. You are encouraged to talk to me about controversial topics if and only if you are willing to accept that I may disagree with you, and hear me out. In return, I will keep an open mind to what you are saying. If you intend to cut me off, harass me, or go after my friends if I'm not convinced of your position, don't bother asking in the first place.
Non-sexual flirting is okay, but ask before making overtly sexual comments. Since I allow followers under 18 and Retrospring does not yet support content warnings, it may be best to move those conversations to another venue. Feel free to ask for my contact information on other platforms.
there's a scarily common belief that the world consists of Good People and Bad People, and making it better means punishing the Bad People and empowering the Good People.
classifying people in such binary terms is very dangerous, and while this is particularly visible in progressive online spaces, it's also a part of how some bigotries work, and how those in power keep us from uniting to make actual change. in my mind, activism is not about separating the villains from the victims, but about building things that help everyone; its enemy is not people, but the systems that make their lives worse.
i'd like to remind everyone here to reach out beyond your bubble, to be very careful and skeptical when someone tells you who to hate, and to not trust anyone who tells you that the world is a scary place full of sinister and dangerous individuals.
what do u think about subliminals? like the videos that are supposed to make u look like whatever u want or makes u get anything u want. i've been interested in this stuff lately
The way you described subliminals is interesting. Even if I'm being as generous as possible about their efficacy, leaving a video playing while you sleep cannot alter physical reality to your desire on their own. What it can do is alter your perception and change your mode of thinking, perhaps make you see the world differently or inspire you to do something, or even boost your confidence (which can lead to you "looking better" in some people's eyes)... but watching a video while fully awake can do all those things too, and that has the advantage of making better use of my critical thinking faculties, so I never really saw the point.
what the sigma
Sigma (/ˈsɪɡmə/ SIG-mə;[1] uppercase Σ, lowercase σ, lowercase in word-final position ς; Greek: σίγμα) is the eighteenth letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals, it has a value of 200. In general mathematics, uppercase Σ is used as an operator for summation. When used at the end of a letter-case word (one that does not use all caps), the final form (ς) is used. In Ὀδυσσεύς (Odysseus), for example, the two lowercase sigmas (σ) in the center of the name are distinct from the word-final sigma (ς) at the end. The Latin letter S derives from sigma while the Cyrillic letter Es derives from a lunate form of this letter.
how do you guys add images to your profiles??im so confused on how this site works、、
If you mean the account banner, that's just "Banner URL" in profile settings.
If you mean images in posts, Sparkler uses Markdown and HTML syntax. The Markdown for images is ![alt text](url)
, you can search "markdown cheat sheet" for more.
If you mean background images, you can use url(https://example.com/image) in any field where you would enter a background color. But you should use these sparingly.
I enjoy your theme. For your ask game, could I get 2 or 5?

5: Many video games optimize the loading of objects on a map using binary space partitioning - progressively dividing the world into halves containing balanced amounts of objects, and repeating until each partition only contains one object, creating a "tree" that can be used to quickly find objects along the way.
#010 , 7 / 10 / 2024 : QUESTION OF THE DAY
-- Do you believe in supernatural events? Have you ever had a supernatural experience?
( Current Theme : Halloween. )
I think that calling something "supernatural" tends to simply mean it's unexplained or unexplainable, and we should seek natural explanations wherever they're possible, because it's always preferable not to leave something unexamined. I also have not had any supernatural experiences, unless you consider life itself to be one.

"Here's the Rest of Your Life" by Chumbawamba is essentially an entire political manifesto in song form, and I agree with 90% of it, but this is my favorite moment:
There are moments in all of our lives Tiny sparks still deep inside When a new-born baby cries When you're watching clouds in a summer sky The first time you walked out on strike Love and sex and holding tight Things that can't be bought By promises and votes

I just got a GBA cartridge dumper and flasher, and one of the first games I tried to flash to a cartridge was a fan-made Tetris clone called Apotris, which has ended up being the most fun I've ever had playing Tetris.
The official GBA version of Tetris is Tetris Worlds, and it kinda sucks. It was the first Tetris game to follow "The Tetris Guideline", which means it has gameplay additions like T-spins and holds, but the control feels subtly stiff. Visually, all of the budget went into extremely dated prerendered 3D backgrounds. Plus for some reason my cartridge won't save my settings. The one silver lining is all of the alternate modes exclusive to Worlds, but many of those are also ill-conceived and clunky.
As usual, the fans outdid the company. Apotris has a beautiful, incredibly flashy and stylish look, with lots of screen flashing, shaking, and neon colors. It also implements the Tetris Guideline, but with controls that feel way more fluid and naturalistic. And there are tons of theming options and gameplay tweaks to obsess over. The alternate game modes aren't as quirky as Worlds's, but represent the most popular and well-refined game modes in Tetris, all implemented competently.
So yeah. Best version of Tetris I've played, and it runs on my favorite game console of all time too!
hiii... 👽.. I love Star Trek
-This is actually just me giving facts of jellyfishes- Well yes, there are species that can kill someone with just a touch, for example, the Sea Wasp Jellyfish from Australia can kill someone in minutes, that certain specie is one of the most lethal and venomous animals in the world, however, in another hand; There are species of jellyfish that you can eat or that are inoffensive ! for example the Fried Egg Jellyfish, they even filter the water
