tell it to the marines
When people get a little too gung-ho about-
wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?
ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.
That’s…wild. What was I talking about?

jesus. haven't used Ubuntu in years, but apparently they've been putting ads in terminal since at least 2022.
Both Ubuntu and Docker have had the nerve to put ads in my terminal. I should become a software anarchist again

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)
Reblog to increase sample size!

should probably tweak/tighten settings there
i just found out tumblr was storing over three GIGABYTES of cookies on my device without me knowing and that's why it's been running so fucking slow recently... incredible. anyways everyone go clear your fucking cookies. don't let this website run a goddamn video game's worth of disc space in the background for no good reason.

william gibson: the future is already here-
maybe this is a fundamental difference in moral views because i think oppression isn't bad because it harms certain groups, it's bad because it harms people. it DOES harm specific groups, and that's a necessary part of understanding it, but the mistreatment is the problem, not the fact that that mistreatment is unfairly distributed

Bluey's goal is relatable, not realistic, but yeah, the creek episode, we're supposed to imagine it, but i felt it called for different art, should've been ghibli maximalist nature porn
anime gets a lot of mileage out of the fact that Japan is super green and super compact, lots of tiny rice paddies and tiny mountains and tiny forests and tiny rivers allowing plucky tweens to wander off and find adventure within minutes.
it’s hard to do that in Australia as you’re either stuck in suburbia or lost in an infinite brown scrub that stretches thousands of miles in every direction, and that’s just like one cattle station.
