April Fool's PSA:

Almost all April Fool's gags end up unfunny, unintentionally hurtful, or at best horribly awkward.

The reason we celebrate the funny ones like "Corn Hub" is *because* genuinely good ones are so rare.

Whatever you're thinking of, it's definitely going to be in the former category.

THEY'RE NOT EVEN ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE FUCKING PLANET!! Like, make them Korea, make them Vietnam, make them Taiwan. Hell, make them western Russians for all I care. But GREECE?! Jesus fuck.

Listen. I know I just admitted I know little about the Ainu language, but I do know shit about Greek, and I'm much more confident in calling Spartacus and Chthonios Greek than I am Ainu.

So, I figured that Watatsumi and its history might be based off the Ainu people. Like, I'll be honest, I don't know enough about Ainu history or the Ainu language to say one way or the other, but it would make sense to have the kinda separate but related people to your Japan analogue the Ainu (iirc what little I know of the Ainu). But you're telling me they're actually fucking GREECE?! GREECE?! WHAT THE FUCK?!

This concludes the highlights of our little road trip. Enjoy.

Mom and I went on a small road trip today. What follows are the minimal highlights.

Been seeing some people upset the bill to remove DST in the states keeps us on DST, like...y'all. Time is fake. People living literally meters apart have their clocks off by an hour, while people hundreds of kilometers apart live on the same time. Why does it matter which of these two sets of time we stay on? DST or not, what matters is that we aren't torturing ourselves with the switch twice a year. Otherwise, time. is. fake.

Okay, well, I guess saving a cart is also a good use, though there's no reason for that cookie to exist for more than a few days tops. Still, I'm going with 5 as a hard limit for now.

I'm not logged in. I've changed no site settings. Why does The Guardian need 21 cookies on my computer?!

Web design hot take: Cookies are for persistent logins and persistent site settings that the user themself has set. (If the user hasn't changed any site settings (if present in the first place), you don't need a settings cookie!) If you're setting more than 2 cookies, you're (probably) doing something wrong. If you're using more than 5, fuck you.

"we don't need it because we already know how touch screens work" ??? they've been around for decades and people aren't too stupid to figure out how touching a screen works

we got rid of it because the extra hours of art time come out of the CEO's fifth sexual assault legal fund and that's just not worth the digital version of "this button here is satisfying to press, this one over here is mushy and makes me feel depressed" because you aren't a person if you make less than 1mil/year

everyone keeps doing UI art as like "it's a white box with a boring, businessy sans serif font and maybe a rounded rectangle on it" and i really, really hate it
