Hey, so I made an online course to teach absolute beginners the basics of HTML/CSS. I’m so gosh-darned proud of it β€” and the three years I spent putting it together. I put a lot of myself in there to make it the sort of welcome mat into front-end development that we need to get more folks coding.

Now, I’m also super shy about sharing stuff like this. But I’d really love for you to check it out and pass it along to those who need that welcoming path into the front end.

That it's even a possibility the convicted felon/rapist might squeak out a win says very not-good things about the US electorate.

"We have the resources to take care of a billion more, easy, at a great standard of living."

We don't. The planet doesn't. The entire planet would have to be converted to housing and growing food - no more wilderness areas, no more biodiversity, no more unspoiled vistas.
This is not a right wing talking point, this is reality.

It sounds like a variation on my coping mechanism. I'm always ready to walk away, no matter who it is or how much space I've created for them in my life. Enough times of figuring out I wasn't as important to someone else as they were to me, and I just decided no one is indispensable. It's my self-protection, as messed up as it may be.

And this is where reality sucks. It can't follow the script.
If people only knew how much energy I put into creating the script, rehearsing it, updating and amending it, rehearsing more. But it's like they don't even care. Instead of following the script, they wander off into topics never mentioned in the script.

It's possible they were trying to avoid the mistakes their parents made, so they were in uncharted territory.
I know when I was looking at becoming a parent, one of the most important things to me was not to re-create the abuse my parents created.

Mango, papaya, pineapple, honeydew, mixed with baked parrot pellets, then a finely minced bunch of kale, purple cabbage, carrots.
I don't know if the pellets are tasty, but Scooter like them. 😁

@ScottSoCal @ldmay65 @actuallyautistic Yeah, I can relate to that, Data is a favourite of mine, I suspect for much the same reason. The scene where he pushes Beverly Crusher into the sea on the holodeck would totally be me !

@Tim_McTuffty

One day I realized why my favorite characters in Star Trek are my favorites. The Doctor, Seven of Nine, both trying to figure out how to human, never quite getting it, and sometimes deciding it's just too much hassle.
