  People comparing the hits of yesteryear to the norms or even lows of today is a thing.

  Yeah… I’m pretty sure the white space is part of the spec for a QR code.

  Partner has a phd. Can confirm she recommends no one ever do it.

  She only finished it out of spite, so her paper work no longer has miss/Mrs and no relation to her marriage status.

  I’ve had… thoughts on this lately.

  I do social dance (wcs) as one of my several hobbies. And I kind of compare ot to church now. We go once a week, we do the thing, and we have a community around it, with community leaders.

  The world might be slowly leaving religion behind, but I have to wonder of we’re losing something else in the process.

  (Find some WCA classes in your area, we’re all weird as fuck, it’s a often a community of introverts with a niche interest in common, and set rules of interaction (would you like a dance?))

  This is pretty much it.

  The city knows about your protest so they can plan accordingly.

  They may also make requests of your protest, eg, could you self organise your own traffic wardens to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

  Tell me you don’t live in NZ without telling me you don’t live in NZ

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has google stopped working for finding anything?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s on purpose.

  You spend longer IN Google, so you see more Google ads, on a Google platform, so Google gets a bigger cut of the pie.

  It’s the same reason Google started summarizing Wikipedia (or other highly rated results) on its search results where possible. Why they built basic functionality (timers etc) into their search engine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone feel like an actual adult?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Feel like? Maybe not. Accepted? Maybe.

  More often than not now, I find myself having to be the adult in the room. My father recently died, and while my parents both have wills sorted, they didn’t have other things like power of attorney sorted, or a real discussion of what his funeral arrangements he would like. It was not a sudden death. That was a turning point for me.

  I guess that’s where I’m at, I’ve accepted I’m an adult. I’m losing backstops, but also becoming other people’s backstop.
