pengychan posting: "My brother's girlfriend had HPV, so he went to get himself the HPV vaccine. There is a fee to pay (nothing much, something like 87 euros) but it's completely free if you're in one of the 'at risk' groups.

'what does that mean,' he asks.
'it's free if you're gay' he's told.
'ah. would i have to like, prove it, or...?'
'just put in a check mark here.'

my brother is in no way, shape or form attracted to men, but also he's stingy as it gets. So now he's offically gay. Congrats bro.

'doctor give it to me straight'
'you sure, there's a fee'
'give it to me gay'"

thelovers-thedreamers-and-me reblogs: "agab (assigned gay at billing)"

battlships reblogs that and says: "fascinated by the fact that his first question was about if he'd have to prove it. I wanna know how far that man would go to save less than a dollar"

saintsiddeways reblogs to respond, saying: "sorry, do you think 87 euros is less than a dollar"

I have argued this point in the past, as I'm sure many others, but it's nice to have a term for this concept: hobbyless behavior. www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii/8101105… #hobbyless #hobbylos #HobbylessBehavior #HobbylosesVerhalten
Screenshot of the linked Tumblr post from abbiistabbii:

The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

rss2discord
For a while I’ve been using monitoRSS to broadcast a bunch of RSS feeds to various Discord channels. However, they’ve cut back on the free tier’s capabilities, and the paid tiers are rather expensive. So, this pushed me into finally creating rss2discord, a self-hosted RSS posting bot which you can run from anywhere that you can run Python scripts. Hopefully this is useful to someone else as well. For now it’s pretty basic but I’ve got a bunch of ideas for improving it.
