Do people with insomnia realize that there’s a Golf Channel?

Amazing article:

“The reason websites continue to load, bank transfers go through, and civilization persists is because of the thousand or so people living aboard 20-some ships stationed around the world, who race to fix each cable as soon as it breaks”

Video 3/3 (I feel this one •deeply•, to the bone):

“Developer watching QA test the product”

I have to admit, the biggest thing I never expected about the world was the number of people who don't want to make things better.

Happy Ēostre Day

The Norse goddess of the dawn, spring, and rebirth. Ēostre saved a bird with frozen wings from the winter cold, but the bird could no longer fly. So she changed the bird into a rabbit, and since the rabbit used to be a bird, it could lay eggs.

The Book Ban Battalion is increasing efforts to ban books in public libraries across the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 again.

This is ludicrous in my (book loving) opinion. If you do not like a book then simply do not read it & / or ban your kids from entering the library.

If I don't agree, I cannot use the TV that was ALREADY PURCHASED UNDER A DIFFERENT AGREEMENT!

And I just read some of it. I don't agree.
I want my money back. The TV we bought did not have this forced agreement.

That's it! I'm fucking done. My next "TV" is just going to be a monitor. I don't want anymore smarts in what's just being used as a display
