If trench warfare were made-up, it would be the most on-the-nose anti-war satire ever created. Bunch of young men shooting at each other from inside open graves, slowly rotting even as they fight to stay alive. Every so often, they get to move a few hundred metres to dig a new grave for themselves somewhere else and this is called a victory.

Guys I just refreshed the site and everyone's profile pics went round

someone could probably make a "who do you think took your boobs?" edit out of this with discord making its server icons squarer

If you need your car fixed and you call a mechanic you are mechanically illiterate, any idiot can drop a gas tank.

If you need your clothes altered and you call a tailor you are textilely illiterate, any idiot can take in a sleeve.

If you need a your bathroom fixed and you call a plumber, you are piping illiterate, any idiot can replace a toilet.

If you want a lasagna and you don't make it from scratch you are culinarily illiterate, any idiot can make a lasagna.

If you need to pay your taxes and you have to use an app you are financially illiterate, any idiot can fill out a form.

If you need a logo created and you don't make it yourself you are graphically illiterate, any idiot can draw a picture.

Shut the fuck up. People are busy. Not everyone has the time or inclination to become "technically literate" enough to build and maintain a website. I work with dozens of people more technically literate than I am, and not a single one of them went beyond wordpress/shopify/a developer to set up their own websites.

You are not an idiot if you choose not to cultivate specific skills or if some skills are not a priority in your life.

"any idiot can set up cpanel" lmao I just know this person watched one (1) YouTube tutorial and is now serving a static site from an unsecured public s3 bucket that's somehow still vulnerable to Heartbleed.

If you're talking about cpanel you are not "technically literate", you're using a nice clickops UI that a technically literate person built for you. There's no shame in that but don't condescend to other people about it.

And yeah, even learning how to register a domain and set up cpanel takes a level of expertise that most people don't have, and at that point you've learned just enough to get you and your unlucky colleagues in big trouble with an accidental misconfiguration. Messing around with a little personal project is different from building something that serves customer needs securely.

This is a fantastic point because YES, most people can learn to do basic car maintenance, but you don't want the person flying the airplane and the person FIXING the airplane to be the same person because you want to make sure that both of those jobs are being done by experts.

Creating secure websites for enterprise environments, or for professions subject to a high degree of privacy regulation that handle sensitive data, or that will be storing customer information is something that requires expertise beyond what you can pick up by tinkering and are a fantastic reason to call a professional to do the job for you.

(But you should still be the one that your domain is registered to.)

would zuko give the blue spirit a full pardon after the war is over or do you think he would mess with everyone and raise the bounty even higher

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

If the text says the curtains are blue you can argue about what that means; but if you’re going to claim they’re actually yellow you’d better have a really good argument.

I love it when Conclave said oh so the church is able to break with tradition when it comes to iphones, vapes, rolling suitcases, and steel-fortified window coverings, but not when it comes to feminism, pluralism, and the nuances of sex and gender. How interesting. Anyway, here is a remarkably sad old man.

It just occurred to me that I've seen Rocky II through Rocky V, but never the first one, and for the life of me I cannot recall why.

Don’t bother - it’s a confusing mess of a movie and it explains nothing about how rocky went from doing musical numbers in fishnet stockings to being a boxer.

you have to build foxes yourself, but don’t worry, they come as kits

feels nice just to be wanted. even if it is for murder
