thinking about the time I ordered out for lunch, and my order was signed off by "d uwu". Some absolute meme-lord works at this restaurant and I salute them.
I'm stalling on updating the Golfshrine website. These examples aren't uninteresting, and it's not like i have nothing to say about them. Just updating the website is a pain. Currently researching ways it can be made easier or more entertaining.
Maybe i should install Frontpage for Mac? Though I'd also have to struggle with how to upload the result...

I have round cards, dog bone cards, donut cards, pizza slice cards, VW Minibus cards...
...but the shaped cards I'm the happiest to own is a trio I call the Extra Value Meal. Burger, fries, and a Coke.

Japanese commercial for the PS1 port of Duke Nukem 3D "Total Meltdown" sure is... something.

Hey, Fedi admins, go right now and check to make sure that you have caps/limits set on your Object Storage provider so they just stop serving you images instead of charging you $3,000 because some random person in Europe decided to scrape your instance.
Re: https://cloudisland.nz/@aurynn/111937646419975910
This is a really tragic tale (I hope they can get the charge reversed) but right at this moment I want to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else.

ADMINS, CLOSE YOUR REGISTRATIONS.
Put them on approval or something for a while. There is a massive spam wave going on by some japanese group. Any instance with open regs is vulnerable. And it's involving an absurd amount of bots.
In this video, for example, while "Wanna cookie?" definitely gets Minnie's attention, in some instances she only gets up or meows back when her person goes "Huh?" for emphasis.
So many different people, presumably people who have never met each other in any form, seem to have independently arrived at going "Mmm?" at their cats to chat with them. Not quite meowing back, but also not quite actual words.
I'm sure there's an entire sub-field of human linguistics around pet-talk. It's fascinating, like an inter-species pidgin language.

"What would you do about the Internet access for our (yet hypothetical) young teenage kid?"
I wouldn't want them to get hurt online, but I wouldn't want to control their actions either. Banning the thing would not help, but not doing anything about it poses real risks...
Oh wait, isn't it the same with sex ed (and, for example, road rules, or maybe substance abuse, even if to lesser extent)?
You cannot stop young teenagers being interested in relationships. They will try to do their (often stupid) teenage things. What you can do, though, is to educate them. What's safe, and what's not. Why the rules are the way they are. How to avoid risks. How not to ruin someone's life by carelessness.
Apparently there is a whole curriculum "Online safety" posted at gov.uk which sounds absolutely sensible. Whether there are good teachers and materials, and whether parents are aware that internet talk is as important as birds and bees talk, that I don't know.
That makes me think that there's much that still can be done.
