re: serious question 

@dragonmagic Latin is the Roman language, yes

if the subtitles describe the language as "Roman" then that's a mistake, pure and simple

@nberlat i mean that's the thing, he doesn't, he's used to coasting on the money he was born into to literally buy other people's success and claim it as his own

i don't know what will happen to Twitter in the end but "survival with Musk at the reins" is not a possibility

We've been showing my kid some Terry Pratchett and reading her some books, and she's now weirdly obsessed with Rincewind. I also got her a plush Luggage, which is great.

* Last person who was a known survivor from a slave ship died in 1940.
* The last survivor of slavery that I found was Sylvester Magee, who died in 1971.

This is not a comprehensive list of "all dates relevant to all issues in racial justice in the United States". What it is meant to make clear is that, despite all the black and white photography (which is intentional), you likely have parents and grandparents who carry living memory of these events.

So history, yes. "Ancient" history, no.

Detaching this because it feels weird to include it in the same thread, but I love that @AvengingFemme also uses the word "kerfuffle." I so rarely see it used, and it makes me happy.

We don't talk enough about how, in modern society, "success" largely boils down to luck.

Sure, "hard work" also matters to some degree. But there are numerous hardworking people out there who never become successful, while others fall upwards because they were just at the right place at the right time, and had the right parents.

The notion that modern society is a Meritocracy is a lie.

My brain is trying to convince me this song lyric is "We can build bridges / into the sun" and it's NOT but maybe we should try that anyway to see how it works.

@MySpaceEmoCat @SteelWool
so yeah, in a bit more detail, Git is a system which basically lets you create savestates for your work, so you can 1. keep track of what you've done and when (if you use commit comments properly) and 2. revert your work to a known good state if you fuck something up

you can even branch your code if you want to try something experimental without fucking up your main development branch, and then if things work out, you can merge the changes back into your main branch

@MySpaceEmoCat @SteelWool i hate "GitHub is Twitter for code" so much and yet i cannot argue with it

should point out, you don't HAVE to use GitHub to use Git; you can absolutely make a local repository and never push it anywhere
