Dicks will be dicks. It’d be impossible to code #Mastodon to somehow make dick-moves impossible, but certainly it’s a #MastodonBug that I cannot post a reply to a msg that mentions me. Fair enough if their mention is stripped from my post, but it’s effectively designed so that someone can put shit under someone else’s name and block them from defending themself.

Is it #assholeDesign or #crappyDesign?

Looking through my photos to find something to print and frame to send to mom, I came across this 2016 example from a Whole Foods in southeast Tulsa of six bicycle parking spaces arranged too close in an H pattern so that only 2 of the spaces are usable. That middle rack only serves to get in the way with its two spaces perpenduclar to the other four.
