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, it may be best to move those conversations to another venue. Feel free to ask for my contact information on other platforms.

As long as I don't get too many asks about this to the point that it starts to feel like a job, I'll gladly answer any tech questions!
(If it starts to feel like a job, then I'll start demanding a living wage. But I enjoy helping folks.)
I'm noticing a lot of people are using and sharing minified CSS here (meaning, all on one line of text with little or no whitespace)
That's gonna hurt you down the line, because it's really hard to read and edit things with no visible organization, so if your CSS is like that, I'd suggest putting it through a "beautifier" tool like the one here: https://codebeautify.org/css-beautify-minify
I think you'll agree that this (using something from my own CSS as an example):
.card, .card-nest, .card-nest .card:last-child {
border: none;
}
::selection {
background-color: #fff;
color: hsl(0, 0%, 21%);
}
is easier to read than this:
.card,.card-nest,.card-nest .card:last-child{border: none;}::selection{background-color: #fff;color: hsl(0,0%,21%);}
i geniuely cant figure out how to do borders, because everytime i put a code in it the image link i put just gets scretched behind boxes and since i dont know css i dunno how to fix it. can someone help me?
Could you link me to the border image you're using (and preferably also the code that isn't working)? I could experiment a little and figure out some code that does what you're probably intending
If you could give any fictional character a hug, headpat, encouraging word, etc., who would you choose?
honestly most of them could use a hug. One from Star Trek: Enterprise that comes to mind, especially after seeing the episode "Minefield", is Malcolm Reed. He's got so much generational trauma and fear that he hides out of a sense of duty, even though his Captain repeatedly tells him he doesn't have to.
Randomly dated question 6: How much of your used storage space would you consider that is cringe?
99% of it.
Virtual machines are bloat, pictures are bloat, MP3s are bloat, Word documents are bloat, NES games took up 1MB at most and yet I have some games that take up over 50GB. In the words of some unknown person whose quote was falsely attributed to Bill Gates, 640KB ought to be enough for everybody, and it ought to be enough for me too. How much of this post is a joke? You decide!
Chat I wanna know how to do CSS again... I learned it 4 years ago and completely forgot about it I swear CSS profiles here are so cool waaayyhhghhgh....... - ππ΅

1: have you seen the walten files
2: uhh should i consider making a neospring account
1: I've heard of it and got a quarter of the way through a video summarizing it, but honestly analog horror, or horror in general, is not something I'm into
2: neospring is for you if you liked retrospring, but wished it had more customization, and are willing to deal with typical tumblr teens being most of the community
Randomly dated question 5: How nerdy would you consider yourself?
very, very nerdy
hey chat do you guys have any analog horror recommendations ..,,,,. -ππ΅
Super Mario 64 Beta Archive, a sadly unfinished ARG
and BDG's "Teaching Jake about the camcorder"
those are the only examples I know that I'd consider good. also maybe LOCAL58 but I haven't seen much of it

Why is this (β«) called "beamed eighth notes" and this (β¬) called "beamed sixteenth notes"
That's not how musical notation works
They're both sixteenth notes
On my end, the beamed eighth notes have a single bar and the beamed sixteenth notes have a double bar, as they should. It's probably your font that is incorrect about this

What are some hot takes you have
I don't want to lose a lot of friends or get into super stressful conversations, so these aren't my hottest takes ever, but here's some more extreme versions of the takes in the original question:
- Gacha game waifus in general all look the same, but the real problem isn't the characters. The predatory monetization, and the way the games are designed to addict people, are the real problem, and I support governments who have decided to regulate them as gambling.
- Shipping discourse is so thoroughly poisoned, and turned into a two-sided war with no nuance allowed, that I can't really take either self-described "proshippers" or "antis" seriously. The topics of free speech, ethics in fiction, cancel culture, the safety of children online, the design of social media platforms, etc... can and should be discussed separately, rather than tied to shipping, and there needs to be space for civil discussions between people who genuinely want to learn from each other.
- There is no such thing as "basic DNI". Everyone's boundaries are different, and no one ought to be universally isolated. Bigots, abusers, and authoritarians suck, and probably should be avoided by most people, but they'll ignore your boundaries anyway, and they aren't going to stop being assholes unless someone helps them to.
Having css troubles again :skull: My page surface/bg keeps going to the default pinkish color. My previous css method to put an image as my surface (url()) isn't uhh, working... Anyone got solutions?
For some reason your background image is being replaced by a solid pink slab when Neospring caches it. My guess is that the website you use is blocking Neospring's requests. Try reuploading the image to catbox.moe.
What would you get anyone canceled first?
- All Genshin characters look the same
- Pro-shippers don't deserve to die
- Setting boundaries
if those will get you cancelled, you aren't ready for what I consider a hot take

PEOPLE GOOD AT CSS..... is there any to hide only my comments tab on my profile using css.... i tried ".pillmenu.convertible a:last-child { display: none; }" but then it hides both comments and questions, and i am a complete noob at css... HALP!
it's not that you're bad at CSS. distinguishing between items in different pillmenus is going to require one of those extra arcane CSS features that no one uses unless they're working around someone else's code (which we are, in this case)
try this:
.pillmenu.convertible a[href$="/comments"] {
display: none;
}
I think I saw AZALI while randomly browsing Bandcamp but dismissed them because almost all their releases were individual songs, and especially on Bandcamp, I much prefer EPs and albums in the 15 minute-1 hour range. Still, I'm checking out both.
For AZALI I picked one whose title looked cool: https://azali.bandcamp.com/track/108111118101-121111117 - I'm not sure how representative this piano piece is of their greater output, but it's got a nice sort of emotional arc to it.
M2U actually has albums! So I put on DIVERSITY. So far, I like the sounds of the string and piano arrangements, and the synths where they appear, but once you add the autotuned vocals it kinda sounds like something from a 2000s video game, and those vocals make it harder to take seriously. (I'm also interested in the fact that M2U's publishers is called "FLUXUS", which is also a name of a 60s and 70s avant-garde art collective that famously included musicians like Yoko Ono. I wonder if there's any actual connection beyond the name.)
guys ... what this called again? i know how to do css but i forgot what it called
Are you asking for the selector for the profile card? It's #profile_card. (There's also a .profile_container which contains it.)
You can find all this by just right-clicking on it and clicking "Inspect", by the way. That'll show you the HTML for the profile box, and you can refer to each HTML tag by its name (e.g. div), one of its classes preceded by a period (e.g. .profile_container), or its id preceded by a pound sign e.g. (#profile_card).

ah, alright. to give you a glimpse into this person, he's like a white, middle aged dentist. last time i tried to show an episode of star trek to him, it was just like something from deep space nine, which he ignored, heckled, and generally talked all the way through of. the olypmics were on, too, and he was (very likely) grumpy about having to watch some quirky old show from the ninties and not feats of athletic ability that have been topped years ago.
Maybe he'll respond to something newer and with a higher production value, like Star Trek (2009) or the first episode of Strange New Worlds.

if you were to introduce star trek to someone, what episode of what show would you recommend?
tough question. I usually just recommend people a show or movie, sometimes a specific season or episode, based on their vibes, or their other media taste. But I don't know anything about you, or this "someone".
If I were to show one episode someone I didn't know anything about, I'd definitely start with an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. There are plenty of decent candidates, but this time I think I'll go for The Pegasus (Season 7 Episode 12), because it exemplifies a lot of the key tropes of Star Trek - it centers around an ethical dilemma, there's a political standoff with one of the Federation's main recurring rivals that requires aggressive negotiations, there's an admiral of dubious ethics, and it has a lot of great moments for the characters, especially William Riker, who's at the center of this episode, and Jean-Luc Picard.
i dont do these qotd things (wouldnt be motivated to) but a random question came to mind so im curious.... whats the most hours you have on a game
Most of the games I play don't meaningfully record hours
It's probably Doom II though
