Back during the late 90s era of internet, I got into a MASSIVE amount of troyble over a finger slip in a high school computer lab.

We were all assigned an African country to write an essay about. We had to only use internet cited sources.

I was assigned a country with the Namba people. Somehow I fat-fingered an "L" in there in the worst places. (Between the 'b' and the 'a' - don't google it)

It triggered my school's search filter. Altavista got involved. It was a nightmare.

The police got in contact with my parents, thinking I was being groomed and in danger of kidnapping.

It sucked.

I still often think about "Flowers for Algernon."

Didn't Kathy Griffin pretty much do the same thing only with many more times the consequences?

I prefer it to real spam. Way less greasy with more flavors

Dear hackers,

I want to know how to hack. I will pay you. I am the best hacker.

Thank you, Xx_hackerman_xX

PS: What is hacking?

In those situations, that is the best class sizes for electricity tomfoolery, sprinkled heavily with bravely, and a side of youth assumed immortality.

It is also a good class size to swiftly move bodies, of things get too bad.

I had a similar sized class when I apprenticed as an electrical worker via "future farmers if America" funding.

I learned so many good ways to fix things correctly, and three times that number in "bad" ways to fix things.

Guerrilla learning method with pratical daily needed subjects is SORELY missed now-a-days.

I made one of these when I was young, poor, homeless, and imminently dying due to being swiftly being frozen to death (with bone tumors coming in second place in the death race). I was able to get an abandoned metal shead with a small heater working quickly in a sudden ice storm using on hand parts and a pirated "outside" power line.

Outside of a significant situation like that... it's not a good idea

Meanwhile, the "slippery slope" logical fallacy falls over, down a hill, and dies.

Then starts spinning, creating a perfectly cylindrical hole, and catches fire due to friction, and self cremating.

Its hard to be a lazy cult.

We may not have seen his encounter with the "future Federation" reminding him of the "temporal prime directive"

That said, can you remember your work mates from half of a life ago?

Human memory is good, but a life of adventure and an over abundance of scotch can give one "Swiss cheese memory" ala quantum leap

Text capture saves hours and hours

I use Microsoft PowerToys for that and dozens of other QOL life hacks.

I'm looking forward to "Hades II" and "The Coffin of Andy and Leyley"

The first Hades is another one of those games that I have thousands of hours in right now. That includes Tarraria, Minecraft, Fallout series, and soon to be Baldur's Gate 3... Knowing SuperGiant games, Hades II will be added to the list likely. Steam

The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is a sort of psychological horror 'comedy' game that caught some popularity lately. Enough so that the original game just became an episode 1 of four. For sure worth the check-out if you love story rich shorter games. Steam / Itch

 

My father just died in his sleep. He had passed by the time the paramedics arrived.

They still did their best, which I am very grateful for, but they even an entire trash bag full of used instruments that were stuffed under the bed for some reason

I'm glad that I found it sooner over later but it's mildly infuriating that they just discarded their medical waste under his bed.

(NSFW some blood)

I've been taking care of him for over 5 years and it's made things a lot harder for me, seeing all of that all over.

 

I was watching Bad Lip Reading Desantis and saw that he kissed a baby on a stage. I just gave the most creepy feeling from him, and it wasn't just because this was a comedic dub.

I've been noticing for a while now that some politicians still put their dirty lips on children in public and people clap for that sort of thing.

All politicians from the president to the local mayor need to abandon kissing babies like that. With the way the world is now, abandoning that sort of forced affection needs to be done. Too many politicians are showing their true colors and kissing children who are not their own (nor can they consent) just makes them and the people who allow it look creepy.
