I was reading along, with the thought in the back of my mind that “On the Street Where You Live” was written to be a whole love song that never uses the word love. Now of course you have me thinking, it’s kinda stalkery.
There are several, but one that kind of haunts my mind is the story from the guy who experienced another life in a blackout and had it all torn apart by that fucking lamp.
Sadly, this is not that well-known anymore. I think the whole concept of “cybering” is probably unknown, nowadays. There doesn’t seem to be a good website still online with the whole bloodninja saga anymore, so this is the closest I could find in readable text ;) newschoolers.com/…/I-put-on-my-Robe-and-Wizard-ha…
Don’t worry too much about the duplicated effort of different projects implementing the same standard on their own. It’s good to have lots of implementations of a standard. That’s what makes it a standard rather than just some code we all depend on.
Not exactly a trend, but I’m really worried about this next generation of kids that’s coming up. During COVID they were locked down for a bit, which I think has caused some of them some socialization problems, and then they were just dumped back into school and there were no vaccines for kids so a lot of them just sort of got COVID freely.
We still have no idea what’s going on with long COVID (and it seems to sometimes do something to the brain - people losing their taste and smell, brain fog etc.) so between missing out on key social milestones and a potential plethora of long-term and poorly understood health issues, I’m worried we’re gonna have a really weird generation of people coming up in the next couple of decades.
I think a lot of kids, especially junior high and high schoolers, were not as dumb as people took them for and knew how they were being screwed over for political points. I know it’s a complex subject, and feelings are probably conflicted (like wanting to be back with friends while also knowing how they couldn’t be), but I think they do know that they were used as pawns to win political fights, and that their safety was put at risk because of it. “We need to open schools again for the kids”. I think that’s going to have an effect when voting age comes around
I’ve seen this talked about in some small subreddits, they were pushing back against the “kids are resilient” mantra. Sadly, I don’t think much will be done to address the issue and we’ll keep chugging along as business as usual.
I used to tell my kids that the ice cream truck only plays music when they are out of ice cream. My kids are older now and know the truth but think of all of the money I saved.
Hah! You obviously didn’t learn the value of sending your kids on a wells race across the neighborhood to catch a guy in a truck. If you’re lucky, that’s a goods 20 minutes of peace! Worth every penny.
57 and 63 screaming and throwing things forgetful … infuriating
Folks shouldn’t be forgetting so much it affects their lives at this point. Nor screaming and throwing things. Oof man, genetics are a bitch, get them care (at least checked out) and then get yourself setup as well.
According to Wikipedia, they used a lot of different approaches. Zyklon-B was abundant, as it was used as an insecticide, but was dramatically more poisonous to humans. 4kg of the poison can kill 1000 people. As far as I understand, it proved itself to be the most efficient method for killing a lot of people reliably
At least for me, its a threshold problem. The internet means that staying at home is always going to be at least somewhat interesting, which makes it a lot harder to take a gamble on a random late night outing. It’s not just staying out late, either—Gen Z shows declines in a whole host of risky behaviors. Smoking, alcohol, drug use, teen pregnancy, are all way down in our generation. In some sense, we’ve found a drug that we prefer to actual drugs.
