you pick a server with bluesky

REPENT, THE END IS EXTREMELY FUCKING NIGH

wow

so (and this may have changed, i used to go on irc mainly in the fuckin 90s) but you need a client, back in the day the big ones were mIRC and pIRCh. i am an mIRC loyalist myself.

it comes with a server list, you just double click on a server and itll connect you. then if you type /list it will list all the channels (rooms). you can see how many people are in each channel, and you can double click on the channel list to join one. then type away

I thought maybe wenslydale?

wow

i have an e-assist bike and my 1999 ICE little honda and it works out very well.

i cycle into the city when i can. faster, exercise, dont have to pay to park (which is 4 eur an hour)

dancing in the street still gets played on the radio

where

ah yes ok

thats just your being reasonably intelligent

so your “They” are an organized cabal of architects, construction workers, manufacturers of air conditioners and power plant operators all working in tandem?

ok dude

yes ok… the gestalt is radically different, though. if someone had a salmiak licorice and was thinking it’d be anything like salted caramel they’d find that they don’t have a lot in common.

like pineapple on pizza is sweet and salty but I wouldn’t compare it to ammonium chloride candy
