But in reality it’s just someone with the body of an adult and the mentally of a toddler screaming nonsense and punching themself in the face while simultaneously blaming everyone else for it and declaring victory.
This meme isn’t about “thinking for oneself” or even “being critical of information (or the government)”, it is saying government education is turning you stupid. Which is stupid, because it is ignorant, “thinking for oneself” isn’t stupid, I am doing that with my “government education” and I would wish you would too.
C’est la #JournéeMondialedelaPlomberie ! 🎉
Eh ben, même sur ce sujet, on a de quoi faire dans les collections du service Histoire de @labnf : direction les années 1920 et la marque Crane, plomberie industrielle… ⤵️
I finished the very Ontario Meet Me by the Lake by Carley Fortune and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
I don’t always listen to Canada Reads, but I try to pick up a few books off the list every year just to get me out of my usual circuit of speculative/sci-fi, fantasy, closed-door yearning romance novels, and whatever non-depressing queer darling has come out that year. Sometimes there is an overlap. Sometimes not.
Next I’m planning on picking up Denison Avenue (a vastly different novel, but still very Toronto - which is an interesting choice for a former Calgary mayor (naheed nenshi) but admittedly I don’t know much about him) #bookstodon@bookstodon
During a presentation by an executive with Google’s Israel branch on Monday, a Google Cloud engineer stood up and shouted, “I refuse to build technology that powers genocide or surveillance.” They were later fired.
Fair enough. That hasn’t been my experience for the last almost 2 years. Teams in our org have been told that if they lose people they can’t hire replacements. Shit’s sucked
I’ve also been hearing about massive layoffs at tons of the biggest companies. I’d be surprised if they were still hiring, obviously.
So I'm currently toying around with NeoCities, and decided to trial it by building your classic mid '90s Geocities/Tripod/Angelfire pastiche website.
Some of the most important elements are already in place.
Tile background? Large font? Heading in bright pink with a shadow? Unusual colour choices? Random cat gifs? Under construction gif? Check! Check! Check!
In the true spirit of the '90s DIY web, some more pages (including the links page) are coming soon.
(I'm thinking of adding a page dedicated to either Britney or a nu-metal band.)
My only question is about whether drop shadows on text was prominent. I’m having trouble remembering how that effect would have been accomplished in the 90s, since I don’t think CSS got it until later. Would it have been something on the <font> tag only supported in Internet Explorer?
@ajsadauskas@neil@asklemmy As for chat, probably the best way to do that today is to use Web Sockets but style it to look like frames or a Java applet on the page.
My brain is currently a mess (whomst among us is not floundering while the world burns), and you know what that means: COMFORT REREADS. I'm revisiting THE SHADES OF LONDON series by V.E. Schwab before I read THE FRAGILE THREADS OF POWER.
Read A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC if you love traveling between parallel worlds, interesting magic systems, collecting trinkets, pickpockets, plagues, night markets, masquerades, the river Thames, dive bars, fancy coats, too many knives, lucky kisses, queer dynamics & secrets.
Heute im DLF in der langen Nacht: „Die Schriftstellerinnen Brigitte Reimann, Irmtraud Morgner und Maxie Wander sprechen in ihren Werken offen über Ängste und Sehnsüchte, unerfüllte Träume und Visionen.“ (Sendung von 2014.)
@ankegroener danke für den Hinweis, wäre mir sonst vielleicht entgangen. Schätze gerade Irmtraud Morgner nicht nur wegen des Vornamens sondern auch wegen der #Märchen und Trobadora Beatriz. #Maerchen@buchstodon
D-does that mean the feds know about my fedi loli cunny plapping posts? And my armpit liccing interest? And my facesitting femdom cravings? And my sister incest ponderings where I’m the big bro? And my shota age gap fantasies where I’m the lil shota? :catstand:
