Conspiracy theory: the Special Editions and prequels were George Lucas's attempts to stop people talking about the Star Wars Holiday Special as the Internet began to take off and it became more difficult to bury its existence, by giving people something still bad but not outright incomprehensibly awful

"The wealthiest western nations have wiped their hands clean of any responsibility to slow a pandemic they helped magnify and spread. Rich countries with 14% of the world’s population have secured 53% of the best vaccines. Almost all of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines will go to rich countries. The Moderna vaccine will go to rich countries exclusively; they are not even being offered to the poor. In fact, nine out of 10 people in poor countries may never be vaccinated at all."

It takes elite liberal skills to justify this.

in the UK you can now get ten years for protesting and ten years for damaging a statue. more than for murder. so what that says to me is that if you're going to protest there is absolutely zero incentive to keep it peaceful now

Wait what do you mean "oomf" is short for "one of my friends" and not the Mario 64 sound effect

This is a long shot, but I want to put the power of social media and federation to the test.

My son wants to become a commercial airline pilot when he’s grown up. It would be awesome if we could find a commercial pilot in the fediverse that we can follow and ask questions of.

If everyone who reads this could boost it, it would be much appreciated and it would mean the world to my son if he could get in touch with a real-life commercial pilot! ✈️

Hey, I am looking for software developer work. I am familiar with C, C++, Java, and many other languages, but I learn quickly, and can probably learn the language you use.

I'm fairly experienced in modeling relational databases, working with Qt, Sqlite, Postgres, and SQL Server, SDL, and SFML. My specialty is Linux but I can target just about any POSIX-compliant platform, or Windows, and I aim to write portable code.

I've worked on Plume, a Fediverse blogging platform, Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead, a roguelike game, sqlite_modern_cpp(a c++ abstraction wrapper for sqlite), MuaLu(A lua based muck engine), and more.

I've dabbled in assembly and lower level coding, and would not be adverse to picking it up to work.

I am based in the US, specifically Tulsa.

I am available for contract work or remote work, though I am currently caring for someone who is disabled so I have to be remote, or at least have minimal office days.

You can get in touch with me via DM or through email through VioletWhite@espeon.social

Don't ask me why my brain does these things. I don't know.
