It's quite funny to me that since moving social media it's evident my lived experience is off with some people I've known my whole life. Saw a friend I haven't seen in ages recently who was excitedly telling me he's bought an electric car. Realising what was about to happen, I asked what, thinking - don'tsayitdon'tsayitdon'tsayit - of course it is a Tesla. And I saw another friend for the first time in years recently who kept going on about how terrific ChatGPT is and that she uses it for literally everything (she's the HR Director for one of the largest companies in the world). I wonder, sitting in those situations, if I come across to them as some utter loon. A modern day hippy. Like someone who might turn up at a restaurant with no shoes or socks on and refuse to sit on a chair made of wood because a tree was harmed in the making of it.
@TheBreadmonkey I know what you mean. We wore fantasy style dresses for our wedding, and a distant friend who had seen the photos asked if we had a Harry Potter themed wedding. And I've honestly never been so offended but had to swallow it down and know she didn't mean anything by it because I realise people outside our little progressive bubble don't actually know how awful JK Rowling is

@afewbugs

What were the dresses!? Were there accessories? I basically want to know if you had a quiver of arrows or perhaps a sword.

@TheBreadmonkey Damn, I knew we forgot something. Closest we got to a sword was a big cake knife I'm afraid.
@TheBreadmonkey there are more photos in this thread if you're interested in seeing how much our wedding had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH HARRY POTTER FFS *cough, sorry* https://social.coop/@afewbugs/114817461532580857

Attached: 1 image So I haven't been around here very much lately for the past week or so, but there's a very good reason for that: @SaintlySin@mastodon.social and I got married!

@afewbugs

You both look fabulous, and it would appear that a great day was had by all, with no HPs or JKs in sight πŸ˜€
Congratulations!

@TheBreadmonkey

@bytebro @TheBreadmonkey thank you, it was lovely!
