A four-cylinder compact and a cell phone are my constant companions as I roam Colorado and the Midwest.

Hey if you own a business I need you to repeat after me:

  • I will not let my web developer manage my domain registration.
  • My domains are my responsibility and they cannot be handed to a contractor.
  • If I do not control my domains, I do not control my website.
  • If my domain is paid for on somebody else's credit card, it isn't really mine.
  • I will read every contract carefully and abide by its terms.
  • If the terms of a contract are not agreeable to me, I will amend them until the contractor and I both agree to and are aware of the terms.
  • I will pay my contractors in a timely fashion.
  • I will not burn bridges with my contractors.
  • I will pay for domain registration myself, and will never grant anyone else complete control over my domain.
  • I will not let my web developer manage my domain registration.

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.

products are so bad now that i have to do approximately 8 hours of research before i buy anything

Seriously, if you're planning to spend a coupla hundred bucks on an appliance, or thousands for a car, spend $4 for a month of Consumer Reports (consumerreports.org).

They're a not-for-profit consumers union, dedicated to fair and honest reviews of everything people buy. Totally worth the membership.

And yeah, if money is tight you can join for a month then cancel the membership easily when you're done with your research.

Also check to see if your local public library has a subscription, either in print or digital format (might be listed as a database rather than a magazine - that's the case at my library in Canada).

Most libraries will provide access to CR, either in print or digital format. The digital archives are what you want when researching a specific product, since they cover different areas each issue.

Green eyes shouldn’t actually be considered an eye color. It’s just not common enough, it’s a VERY SMALL percentage of the population, 1-2%. Green eyes are also caused by an irregular mutation. Most people have blue or brown eyes, so those are the two eye colors.

All the “green eyes” positivity is actually a bad thing, by the way. Having green eyes is linked to higher rates of retinal melanoma. You’re celebrating something dangerous that can cause suffering.

And besides, most people with “green eyes” lean closer to blue or brown anyways. They should just make up their minds and be brown eyed or blue eyed. And if it’s too hard to tell, they should get corrective surgery (because green eyes are dangerous, and associated with more difficult medical care!) or at the least wear contacts so they don’t confuse people. But also they should be required to

I hate to sound like this, but green eyes are a far more recent development than blue eyes in the mutagenic history of humans. So humans weren’t created to have green eyes.

And hazel eyes? Those are just a variant of brown eyes—come on, they’re far closer to brown than green. They just have a couple greenish traits. And there’s no way there’s that many green eyed people, or a wide variety of eye colors… It’s just not natural.

I don’t have a problem with green eyed people, they didn’t ask to be born that way—but there’s just too few of them for it to be an actual eye color. We don’t need all this “green eye positivity” or putting green eyes in media. The internet is making people delude themselves into thinking it’s more common than it really is.

‼️ THIS POST IS ABOUT THE TREATMENT OF INTERSEX PEOPLE ‼️

I HAVE GREEN EYES THIS IS SATIRE

⚠️ PLEASE DON’T SEND ME ANY MORE THREATS OF VIOLENCE IN DEFENSE OF PEOPLE WITH GREEN EYES?? ⚠️

💧 THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT EYE COLOR?? IT’S ABOUT INTERSEXISM AND BIGOTRY 💧
