Maybe 8 years ago, I thought I should make a spreadsheet to keep things I want to share (with individuals or on social media, for example) so that I don't share too many things too quickly.

I included a timer so that, if I didn't add anything new, I'd have a year worth of sharable content and thus never appear to drop off the map.

Well today I have hit 365 things to share. Congrats to me?

What easily-typeable do you default to for ≠?

The fact that they call people who go to tertiary education later in life “mature students” says everything you need to know about those that go straight out of secondary school

I'm starting to think that the intro/extroverted breakdown is not actually useful but I can't seem to put it to words

If you’re doing forced subtitles on your content and you’re not fixing glaring issues in the transcription, you’re doing it wrong

Today I'm learning about that time that NATO killed a bunch of civilians and thought it was okay.

Movie recommendation: **Gran Turismo (2023)**

Based on the true story of a kid (19 at the beginning) who was good at a racing simulator game and got picked to be trained as a "real" racer.

(Don't watch the trailers, it gives away too much of the story.)

I used to think "confirm email" fields were dumb.

But the number of times I've seen people do the likes of @hotmaol.com…

My enjoyment of staying home and my desire to go places so I can take photos of different things do not jive well

Fun linguistic fact: the Dutch word for "lawyer" is "advocaat" and that word shares the same etymological root as the English "advocate". Is that not perfect or what?

Bonus related fact: there's also a (delicious) brandy-based drink sold in 🇳🇱 called advocaat and one of the theories behind the name is that it was originally called advocatenborrel, or "lawyers' drink"

Companies that do "street view" photography should intentionally photograph streets with things like deciduous trees in the sidewalk during times of the year when they are leafless

You see a social media account that, contrary to the norm, requires your "follow" to be approved. Do you take this to mean that the person doesn't want not-actual-friends to follow?
