It’s true. I started calling “the cloud” offsite storage, and the comprehension that dawns in my customers’ eyes is super gratifying. They understand external hard drives, but many couldn’t wrap their heads around this mystical floating in the air storage–because that’s not how it works at all. You’re just using space on someone else’s hard drive.
[Image is a t-shirt which reads:
There is no cloud It’s just someone else’s computer]
I explain this to eeeevery patron who comes in to ask for tech help etc. I find ways to explain it, because it’s important.
“Oh ‘the cloud’ is just what they decided to call it. What it actually means is that you use the internet to connect to some dedicated computer somewhere where your file is stored, and then you can access that file, which is why it only works with an internet connection. You’re just renting space on a computer the company owns.”
Suddenly everything is less mysterious.

i really do think we can all stop conflating somebodys fiction taste with their maturity, intelligence, or worth as a person idk
people who are annoying and also happen to still watch cartoons or read YA fiction or play nintendo games are not in fact annoying for those reasons. theyre just annoying people with unrelated interests. its actually still unnecessarily mean spirited and weird to make fun of people because their taste in fictional media is different from yours
there is something so crazy and powerful about having art of your oc that was made by anyone other than yourself. like oh my god you actually exist outside of my own brain that's WILD
My 15 year old brother is currently obsessed with uranium glass for some reason so today my day has consisted of walking into antique stores and asking them if they currently have any 1930s glassware anyway we struck gold at this place
World's first teenage boy to describe a vintage teacup and saucer as "totally epic"
How it feels getting obsessed with something new and then realizing you're going to spend anywhere from a week to the rest of your life thinking about it
