Today is probably the right day to rewatch the best video essay ever made (IMO). Nothing stuck with me that much: Carlos Maza's "How to be Hopeless"

How To Be Hopeless
To everyone who fights the plague -- on the streets and in our minds. If this video meant something to you, I'd love to hear about it.PATREON: https://www.pa...YouTube
I'll summarize the story for you so you don't have to waste any precious moments of your life reading it: Privileged American couple move to France and find out that France has its own culture **AND LANGUAGE** that they refuse and/or are incapable of learning so they hate it.
This was on the landing page of CNN, just under the election dross. This story of intolerance and incompetence was deemed important enough to be on the landing page. Marked as "featured".
Yesterday's news leads me to forecast the next big thing in SF/F genre fiction: the Cosy Dystopia—a future or fantasy setting in which the backdrop is ghastly but the sympathetic protagonists are running a tea shop in the borderlands.
Think Warhammer 40,000 space marines, with added knitting. (Narrative focus STRONGLY on the knitting.)
Cinco apuntes sueltos:
1- Trump esta vez ganó el voto popular. Cortó fuertemente ventaja en lugares fuertemente demócratas. Eso se explica en parte por la insatisfacción con Biden pero también porque la persona estadounidense promedio (igual que la persona promedio en todo el mundo) se parece más a Trump que a Harris.
Esto que significa?
la persona estadounidense promedio (igual que la persona promedio en todo el mundo) se parece más a Trump que a Harris.
La reelección de Trump es una mala noticia para los pueblos del mundo.
Representa el autoritarismo, el pisoteo institucional, el matonismo tabernario internacional y el desprecio a la clase trabajadora.
Y por otro lado, es garantía de privilegios a los ultrarricos y a los genocidas.
En Europa, el trumpismo traerá aranceles y tensiones.
El debate que tenemos delante es si Europa asumirá el rol de sumisión para continuar con la agresión genocida e imperialista en Ucrania, Oriente Próximo y Asia, o si replanteará sus relaciones con EEUU para no pagar los platos rotos de su política exterior.
Por la parte que nos toca, es urgente deshacernos de la influencia estadounidense para que sus guerras no nos arrastren a la miseria y la barbarie.
Tenemos que explorar el nuevo horizonte de relaciones multilaterales que se abre en torno al BRICS para fortalecer unas relaciones internacionales de cooperación de y paz.
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow there are only three things you need to do. They have not changed and will never change.
1. Enjoy life.
2. Be someone you would love.
3. Make things better.
Every act, every word, every breath that is not one or more of these things is wasted. And there is not a single day in which you are not capable of all three.
btw, did YOU know that cookie names are case sensitive?

RFC 6265bis: clarify that cookie names are case sensitive · Issue #2938 · httpwg/http-extensions
I think the spec would benefit from getting this fact explicitly specified. FooBar and foobar are two different cookies.GitHub
I actually assume that everything is case sensitive … with the exception of mail addresses and domain names.
Filenames are often also not, but its safer to assume they are.
(I once formated a mac in HFS+ extended journaled case sensitve ... for FUN. Yeah, … "fun" I had)

in reply to 🇨🇦🇩🇪🇨🇳张殿李🇨🇳🇩🇪🇨🇦 • • •Oh my, this reads so incredibly absurd: in France they have bureaucracy, we do too but it's different because we know it, also no frozen yoghurt.
What the hell.
Imagine, when you move into a different country they speak a different language and do things in different ways.
I'm sure moving is not for everyone and people will miss things, but it sounds like they just wanted to have the same experience, at which point why bother moving.
