"Slavery existed for 250 years in this country, and it’s only not existed for 150. And, you know, the way that I was taught about slavery, growing up, in elementary school, we were made to feel as if it was something that happened in the Jurassic age, that it was the flint stone, the dinosaurs and slavery, almost as if they all happened at the same time."

He is very happy, and with gentle guidance and positive reinforcement, nothing punative, he finally potty trained. That's probably why he was so abused. Sadly, many people don't know how to gently train a resistant puppy.

@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic That's great. I've contacted a-company-that-shall-not-be-named about a bug.

They fixed it.

Then the bug came back.

They fixed it.

Then the bug came back.

They fixed it.

Then the bloody bug came back.

My last interaction with them was to tell them that the bug is back and that maybe they should ask their engineers if they've ever heard of "regression testing."

(For those who don't know: regression testing is a way to make sure that bugs that have been fixed don't come back.)

You'll never go broke appealing to the prejudices and ignorance of the dominant group and telling them nothing ever has to change.

@ScottSoCal I figured it was something like that; thanks for taking the time. I think I'm going to rabbithole this a little further

@ScottSoCal
Around the time of my little
'international boarder incident,' my mom was hinting to my grandparents that she needed a new car. That Xmas grandpa gave here one of those cigarette lighters with a note that said, "Well, you've gotta start somewhere." 🤣

I regularly watch Fanny Gibert (a French sport climber)
