IQ is fake. Being "smart" is fake. It's not an identity.

@anon_opin suppose you went home one day, inspired by some books you've read, and you invent a device that automates a repetitive part of your job

suppose you bring this to work one day and your productivity increases by a factor of 20

to your absolute shocking dismay, your pay does not increase by a factor of 20

this state of shock could be accurately described as luddism

Found my Jlahaj to show any trans people who would rather sew with a free pattern than buy a stuffie from IKEA https://freesewing.org/designs/hi/

LB I am once again promoting https://freesewing.org for size inclusive (like actually, they're based on measurements so they CAN generate a pattern in your size) free sewing patterns!
Nothing fancy but it's got the basics and you can combine pieces all you want and come up with a bunch of cute garments

UPDATE! Het treinverkeer van NS in heel Nederland wordt op 10 juni stilgelegd.

UPDATE: All NS trains on Tuesday 10 June are cancelled.

Oh, NS, why must you torture me so? Not only is the intercity service run using SLT, but then a detour past The Hague means I get to look at all those comfy ICM, ICNG, VIRM and DDZ that could've run instead!

I mean, given that all intercity trains between Utrecht and Rotterdam use sprinter trains it might be something about this route that is not quite compatible, but still.

"There are protests, your majesty."

"Good," said the Emperor. "What are they protesting?"

"Grain prices. But why are protests good?"

"What would you call a society with no protests?"

"Happy, your majesty."

"I would call it oppressed. Prepare a report on their grievances."

Reminder that if you like a website you should probably click on the "contact" link and tell the author you like their website

🐰 Oh I bet they get lots of email every day saying their website is cool, I'd just annoy them
🦝 Nope. I have a donations button and I'm not exaggerating when I say it gets hit a hundred times more often than my email address. People will literally transfer ten dollars from their bank account before saying "Hey cool website btw."

🐀 Wouldn't it be weird though
🦝 My learned friend, why do you think there's a "Contact" page on the website in the first place, it's so that you can say "Hey cool website btw."

🐴 This site hasn't been updated in ages, I bet they're not even interested anymore
🦝 Or maybe they stopped updating it because they had ten thousand people reading it every day but it felt empty and unfulfilling like shouting into a hole because only two of them ever emailed to say "Hey cool website btw."

🐹 But what do I even say
🦝 You say "Hey cool website btw."
