Thanks Computer, I needed that
So uh hello everyone, meet my (literal) big brother @pdcull .
He's been working with at-risk teenagers in the favelas of Brazil for the last 20 years; is a certified CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) trainer and Emergency Manager; is studying for a Masters in Emergency Management with a special focus on empowering communities to develop resilience.
He has seen a bit of crap in his time (corrupt cops, drug dealers etc) so he can *probably* cope with you all.
Probably.
Be nice.

one company controls everything you remember from your childhood and has a vested interest in ensuring you never grow out of it
Huh I only just now got the joke from Trinity about why there was a gnomon and a sundial in that game.

Oh hey look what popped up on my feed:

most common question asked in a maths classroom: "why do we have to do this why can't we just use a calculator"
blatant lie told to every pupil since like 1980: "you won't always have a calculator available"
actual truth: "calculators are devil objects, none of them work the same, you'll only really be acquainted with how exactly one of them works across your lifetime and when it comes time to use it again you'll have forgotten how it works anyway"
TBH I think it was the Alice computer which didn't turn up much outside France, there was already the Tandy equivalent for USA and (briefly) the similar Dragon 32 in the UK.
Whereas some Minitel terminals were made by Philips and also used by PTT Netherlands for their domestic viewdata service, as well as for BT Prestel (especially with an interlinked experimental home banking system in the UK).
just witnessed a 22-year-old not knowing how to close an envelope. they didn't believe the person that told them to lick it. to be fair, it *does* sound ridiculous.
I wonder if someday people will learn about historical corporate acquisitions and mergers the same way we learn about the wars and invasions of empires and nation states today.

The other afternoon I saw a dragon in the sky at sunset, but only had my phone with me to catch it.

Of course, the United States Strategic Cheese Reserve isn't *really* located in front of the US Capitol Building in Washington, DC.
The orange dome is just a decoy. Since 1947, it's been emplaced in a secure nuclear-blast-proof bunker directly *beneath* the Capitol.
In 1984 the responsibility for managing the SCR was transferred from FEMA to the US Dept of Agriculture under the GOUDA SWISS Continuity of Dairy and Electrodynamic Gravity-field Propulsion initiative.
