I learned from my journalism college courses that the journalists aren't the same ones that write the headlines. One example I wrote: 'One Less Car' Event Aims for Fewer Cars on Road. That and a pretty funny one about abortion were how I learned that tidbit.

I wish I could find my old zip disks and drive at my mom's house. It has my old middle-school AngelFire website files from a site I ran called DBZPlanet. Was mostly me learning Photoshop to cut DBZ characters out of their backgrounds and adding glow to them. Along with basic news about when Cartoon Network would be airing the next set of English translation episodes. My first website.

I used to run a popular mod that made an indie beta game even more popular. Guess who almost all of the final testers were before release? My whole team. We were clearly the most devoted people to the game and knew best how to break it. It was nice to get a head-start on our new mod (which we pivoted to be the equivalent of Steam Workshop or an app store before those existed). Of course, the creator became a dickwad years later and we all ended the mod and the game is dead.

Your doctor is doing it wrong and being lazy.

I saw IDE cables referred to as PATA cables in a YouTube video earlier today. "Huh, I don't remember calling them that." Luckily right after that they clarified that's a more recent name for them. Still felt old.

Because half ate actor "head shots" and not from their real yearbooks.

They are. This is part of that.

Pretty sure the old fuckers in the legislature aren't writing that into the contracts. If you ask them what browser they're using they'll probably say "internet."

I hid this post then immediately unhid it for a closer look. Digital double-take.

Which is ample.

Temporary monopolies are the governments reward to encourage new works of art and inventions. The trade off is that it's temporary. By extending copyrights indefinitely it actually discourages new works to be created because they're competing with more creations than ever, and nothing can be built as a derivative work. Trademarks, which Disney still owns, are protected basically indefinitely.

When I went to my first rodeo they had a long delay because the bull refused to exit the arena. I had to say to strangers, "This is literally my first rodeo, is this normal?" Got a lot of laughs. It is apparently not normal.
