The Enlightenment was an aberration. Most of human history is like this.

I've known someone who didn't call the police in a situation that absolutely warranted it because he had drat good reason to think the police would show up, maybe deal with the problem and maybe not, and kill him.

As it turns out those 80's cyberpunk movies/games were mostly right about the future

There was an interview with the developers of the Deus Ex games where they remarked that it was hard figuring out an advertising hook for the series in recent years. Pretty much every 'fantastical' idea traditionally associated with cyberpunk is now simply associated by modern audiences with real life.

Cyberpunk was the accurate prediction of the future, they just got the aesthetic a bit wrong.

Some researchers found glass beads from Venice originating in the 1400s in an ancient Native American site in Alaska.

Most likely, the beads got traded from Venice to Russia and then across the Bering into AK, before Columbus ever came across.

I still send email as plaintext, loving hated it when people realized they could use html and colors, and then again when they realized they could do inline images.
gently caress those colorful emails, you have my support in banning them.

This.

Quick reminder that mail attachments bloat up by ~30% due to how mail encoding works, and get duplicated into every recipient's mailbox.

Please use a real document sharing solution or I'm configuring our mail server to reject all html mails. When HR complains their colourful mails set in papyrus look plain, I'm blaming you for forcing my hand.

Mail server administration is hell :shepicide:

The bit about HR hurts me. And I'm not even in IT, just my department works closely with HR and I'm one of the main points of context.

Also, gently caress the giant newsletters that get sent out to everyone.

Yes, it turns out that the US East servers for New World were tied to the stuff that went down, it wasn't actually a New World specific problem.

“This microwave is for heating purposes only”

I assume it’s a message like “this sink is for washing hands” or “this sink is for washing dishes,” I’m just interested in what the alternative use is, in this case.

worst-person-you-know.jpg on the bullying but pretty funny (not haha) that they are lamenting the queer kids not selling their lives to the us govt

Er, that's not the message of the article.

The article itself is basically talking about how an important part of the mental health of soldiers is the belief that their family is happy and safe. For families with LGBT kids in public schools, the bullying problem has become so severe that the US military has quietly started an unofficial policy of relocating soldiers and their families with LGBT kids to places with known LGBT-friendly schools. Which both causes additional stress and insecurity from the moves, and can negatively impact the careers of the soldiers in question and performance of whatever unit they are/were part of.
