I mean… you’re kind of right, but this is a “read the room” situation.

FWIW most clowns are hard-working, skilled individuals who bring joy to people’s lives.

Yeah, I know… it’s easy to be cynical and do nothing… I have to fight against that feeling every day, I’m dealing with it now even…

• My fellow Americans, the election day “ground game” is crucial

Unfortunately the other kids will call her a “door-k” for the rest of the school year.

I was going to agree, but I haven’t had Brach’s candy corn in a while, every so often those large companies change the formula to make things cheaper* so it’s hard to be sure.

Hey fam, go to [email protected] and check out the weekly “How are you doing with your communities?” post if you haven’t already. It’s like a support group for people keeping niche communities alive.

The youtube algorithm determined the following: people who watch the kind of videos in your history, are also interested in recording netflix shows. And it was right, because you are in fact interested in that (general) topic. This is another possible explanation.

Mr Auld-Thomas and his colleagues named the city Valeriana after a nearby lagoon.

…

It is “hidden in plain sight”, the archaeologists say, as it is just 15 minutes hike from a major road near Xpujil where mostly Maya people now live.

This archeologist just discovered a Maya city, and they decided to call it “Valeriana” (in the language of the conquistadors) insted of something like “Xpujil” (in the language of the people who still live there.)

They’re not thinking big enough. They should call it “openai.com” and go for corporate sponsorship!

It is a period of brain maturation, learning about intimacy and mutual support, intensification of pre-existing friendships, family-oriented socialization, and the attainment of those social skills that are needed for mating and reproduction.

Awesome, thanks!

Hey so what is this cognitive development that I may have missed out on? I tried googling but nothing comes up. Can you point me to some reading about this? Or some term to search for? Thanks.

Sorry fam I didn’t mean it that way, I’ve just learned to be suspicious.

the last cognitive development stage, which happens around 26-27.

Wait, what? I don’t think I got the memo on that one. This isn’t some “manosphere” thing, is it?

I picture this as someone who goes to church a lot, reads romance novels, bakes awesome cookies, and says things like “sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays!”

The last time I bought a Mac was like 10 years ago, at an independent computer shop that specialized in them. The person at the register insisted on getting my personal info “because Apple needed it” but I didn’t want to give it. The person at the register very slowly sauntered up to their manager, had a long discussion, and eventually they figured something out because I suddenly didn’t need to give my info. It was kind of nervewracking because I was paying cash and I was like: what if I hand it over, and they change their mind? It’s not like I could call the cops, I’m the wrong demographic.

Anyway, whenever I thought about getting an Apple system, I remembered that experience and went with something else.

It’s OK dog. The thing is, you figured it out. You’re better off than those that never figured it out. Now you just gotta move on from where you’re at.

Choices - we make them, chances - we take them

Some are mistakes, some we celebrate them

We don’t look back, cause so much we facin

I always stay proud of myself, I’m yelling, “Fuck regret!”

The email analogy kinda works here.

• Imagine an email server dies forever. All of the email that it sent is still out there. If you are on another server, any emaills to/from people on that server are stil in your local email storage.
• Likewise, a post that was made to kbin.social is still out there, if someone outside of that server was subscribed to that kbin.social community (“magazine”) when the post was made.
• To find out the “new” server… well in an ideal world the old server would at least have a notice to that effect. But this case involved a medical emergency, so that didn’t happen.
