javascript ui libraries will be like "just run npx whatever our library is and you're ready to go.......what are all these dependencies and opinions on how your app is served? don't worry about that" and i'm like,,,,,,,sir

i may be 140 years old and not trust anyone, but abstracting everything into dependencies does not absolve you of writing documentation YOUNG MEN

you can’t blame me! they put their hands up all the cows holes and then expect respect in the form of trying to require oat/nut milks be called oat/nut ~~*beverages*~

cops in germany sometimes try to fine cyclists for using dashcams/gopro's for documenting situations where they get attacked by drivers.

they say the cyclists violate GDPR law by permanently recording traffic.
cyclists mostly don't permanently record traffic, and the GDPR targets institutions and businesses, not people, so it's just unjustified police harrassment.

and if you don't record what happens, cops won't believe you anyway.

John Rawls' "Veil of Ignorance" is still one of the most intriguing though experiments to me:

"Suppose that you and a group of people had to decide on the principles that would establish a new society.

However, none of you know anything about who you will be in that society. Elements such as your race, income level, sex, gender, religion, and personal preferences are all unknown to you.

After you decide on those principles, you will then be turned out into the society you established."

Middle child made a train. I like trains.

Remember, it's okay to turn off the news for a bit.

Neutral Evil is for people who like keeping the weight nicely centered in the carton, but also hate everyone else who wants that.

deleting the dsiware games off of the 3DS eshop (and leaving everything else there) makes even less sense to me than shutting down the wii and dsi shops did,

like... nintendo is just being directly antagonistic to us at this point theres no two ways about it,
