yes, i know, it is very upsetting to come to terms with the fact that your posts on a relatively obscure social media site are not key drivers of world events one way or another

Spoken like someone who has never finished a drunk rewatch of season 2 of the Wire, rambled in posted about the Key Bridge, and then the Key Bridge fell down a few minutes later.

What? The hell you say!

This makes me so mad that I need to go lecture a stranger about Fediverse etiquette.

thank god this place is "relatively obscure" i hope it stays that way for awhile

Actually rather comforting. I try to be informed and have good opinions but that doesn't prevent me from putting out some stinkers. Grateful the lives and livelihood of men and women doesn't hinge on my trash takes.

I'll have you know, my poasting led @toddrowell.bsky.social to attend one of my bike rides and then we met, and he's a real human being, so don't tell me I'm not having an impact in the real world.

Screaming into the void is my kink.

How dare you!!

posting a site with butterflies doesn't cause the butterfly effect?

what I'm thinking is if I type enough the breeze made by my fingers moving has a prrreeeettty good chance of eventually changing the path of a tropical cyclone
