I'd like to take a moment to congratulate all Americans for now legally being defined as women.

According to Executive Order 14168 (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/01/30/2025-02090/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal), the "biological truth" of the genders has been legally defined:

(d) “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.
(e) “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.

Here's the problem, turns out that the universe isn't taking attendance at the time of conception and handing out little pink and blue genderino badges before your gonads even exist. At the moment of conception, EVERY embryo's default state is set to produce, eventually, the larger reproductive cell (the ova). It's not until 6-8 weeks AFTER conception that the Y chromosome, if present and activated, decides to show up to the party and begin the process of differentiation into a body that will, eventually, produce the smaller reproductive cell (the sperm).

So, once again, I'd like to congratulate literally everybody in America for, at this moment, being legally AFAB.

Back in '21, after we had the vaccine, there was a subreddit with a very simple premise: find social media posts of people who were anti-mask, anti-vaccine, anti-lockdown, then find the social media posts from when those exact same people caught COVID and died.

Even as they were dying, most of those people couldn't admit where they'd gone wrong. Even death wasn't enough to open their eyes.

In case you were wondering if we'll ever be able to reach some of the people who got us into this shit.

Zen quote of the day.
Consumer networking devices come in two varieties: Altar to a Dark God and Aromatherapy Machine.
The 3 kinds of queues are:
- FIFO
- LIFO
- FAFO
@jon_alper I wonder if @textfiles has a friend on the East Coast.
@be_far @keyboards gotta check out the chording/layering on such a minimal layout!
@keyboards I've never seen an Escwerty keyboard before!

Don’t seek, don’t search, don’t ask, don’t knock, don’t demand — mute.

Well, Bryan Tracy eventually found the key!
@david Truly deep. This message may have changed my life.
@mdreid @nyankat @david @voltagex Indeed, bards still sing of the SSL error. A quote for the ages.

@nyankat @david aah ... one of the classic Japanese sayings. I recall reading a Chinese one with similar intent "your free translation subscription has ended" ...
@nyankat those samurai where always a little behind their times. Very conservative bunch. @david
@nyankat @david to be fair, error messages would probably have more impact if a samurai warrior shouted them at the user.

@nyankat @david @smallsco Ah yes:

A cry of respect not heard for many generations.

@david What is the sound of one web site crapping?
@david I'd just hack that thing to display anything else...
@david never seen that display before, thank you.
@david Darnit, where did I put my Zen key.
@pixel @david In your bag of holding, surely?
@pixel @david It's behind a hidden tile at the beginning of the level 

@david

Wooh! That's a trmnl!

@david someone pass the shakespearean ssl error
@david accidentally deliberately zen
@david It is through the desire for an auth key that we bring on our own suffering. We should consider each desire and its co-being with others slowly and with compassion.
@david Going into the replies was the absolute best choice. :D
@david mmm, yes. so true. *nods knowingly*
@david Do you desire the auth key, or just accept the lack based suffering as the gateway to nirvana
