RastaHappy #AprilFools day to all who celebrate
NormanDunbar@Rasta I had to check if that was true! 😉
@NormanDunbar It's made up, you can be sure. Morning Norm, have you won the lotto yet? I need a rich friend #LOL
@Rasta Morning to you too. I'm afraid I don't do the Lotto (or National Lottery as it's called in UK) so I'm unable to be of assistance in the "rich friend" department. 😟
@NormanDunbar
Of all my friends,. can't find a wealthy one?
I was close once. Well, a guy I sort-of knew.. we were both in Air Cadets in Germany but didn't hang out. He won a million dollar lotto, and told me FIRST .. .I was hoping that was a sign.. I guess I was the first he saw to tell online

Chris Hatton@Rasta We can double-down on this by rebranding it Discrimination Day
@chris_hatton_au The day before *LIBERATION DAY* I think Canada should celebrate Trump's LIBERATION DAY but cutting fuel and electric supply from Canada for the day, unless they get rid of Elon Musk, or we raise it and demand the firing of Hegseth too.

Alex Holst@Rasta In reality it's more like so-exhausted-I-just-avoid-announcements-and-news day.
One of the 3D printing companies I follow announced a new thing. Nevermind, that was a joke. One of the chess sites I love & follow announced a new thing. Nevermind, that was a joke. One of the IRC networks I love announced a sad thing. Nevermind, that was a joke.
My preferred search engine announced a thing. I don't know if it's real or not.

That's exactly where you got the *lingo*
I've only know military, my father, his father, myself, we were all military. I went to more schools than years, in various provinces and two parts of Germany. I've got expressions I don't know the origin of but military is my biggest influence

🤗✍️💁♀️*Awesome!*My Father had a lot of Yankee expressions too that every once in a while pop up!*& My Father wrote many poems!*& Whimsical Stories about the military sometimes with surprise comical endings!*I also was a kid that had almost once a month besides typical illnesses!*I would miss a week of school being an undignosed coughing Asthmatic from viruses!*& by the time Friday rolled around it was calmed down!*& My mother would say to me!*"You mind as well stay home*&👉
I remember a lot of detailed events in my life from very early age. Some of a traumatic nature, but otherwise, just haunting memories of places you grew up, and met friends and then moved away and never heard of them again. Only those in my teens, have kept in touch, somewhat.
🤗*Of course there is a reason for everything as growing experiences!*I have a lot of things I remember as far back as sitting in a high chair*& Remembering things my parents even said to each other when sitting there!*It's funny*& I am amazed most people don't remember?*& I wish my son's would?*but I don't think they do either?*Or don't realize they do!*But as you change through life you most likely would had grown out of those childhood friends anyway!*I know I did!👉

I remember when I was 3. Not a lot, but vivid instances. I remember my father walking me, and when we got to a train bridge (no floor, just railroad ties) over a river, he carried me on his shoulders. The dog (Charlie Brown) would not cross, and my father had to take me a safe distance away, sit me on a rock and tell me not to move, while he wrestled the black lab onto his shoulders and brought him across too.

Loren Kohnfelder@Rasta Let's make every day April Fools Day for a better internet.
Mark Crocker@Rasta I was fooled by one video almost to the halfway point... but in my defense, it was still March 31 in my timezone 😋 so, as the patent post suggested no skepticism required 😉
@mcrocker Time zones ruin Social Media surprises but locally, I'd have to be working to be around people on April Fools day. I'm not, so the FOOL part is lost
@Rasta this sort of reminds me of the theme in @pluralistic 's Eastern standard tribe https://books.mxhdr.net/book/105839/s/eastern-standard-tribe . Although the book didn't do a great job of predicting the social media future, the basic concept of timezones affecting who one associates with despite the modern internet breaking down many geographic barriers, was a good insight.
Eastern standard tribe - MXHDR BookWyrm
<p>Art is a member of the Eastern Standard Tribe, a secret society bound together by a sleep schedule. Around the world, those who wake and sleep on East Coast time find common cause with one another, cooperating, conspiring, to help each other out, coordinated by a global network of Wi-Fi, instant messaging, ubiquitous computing, and a shared love of Manhattan-style bagels. Or perhaps not. Art is, after all, in the nuthouse. He was put there by a conspiracy of his friends and loved ones, fellow travelers from EST hidden in the bowels of Greenwich Mean Time, spies masquerading as management consultants who strive to mire Europe in oatmeal-thick bureaucracy. Eastern Standard Tribe is a story of madness and betrayal, of society after the End of Geography, of the intangible factors that define us as a species, as a tribe, as individuals. Scathing, bitter, and funny, EST examines the immutable truths of time, of sunrise and sunset of societies smashed and rebuilt in the storm of instant, ubiquitous communication.</p>
