The details of my life are quite inconsequential… very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.

What scenarios do you envision might arise once animals join our ranks? ( spectrum.ieee.org )

I heard about this because someone I know personally on here says she's helping to work on this (which by the way sounds like it would perfectly fit the format/structure of the fediverse) and I felt too fascinated to not ask. What are some scenarios that comes to mind when you think of this being a thing?

I try not to get into debating online. It goes nowhere and ends up with "no you" , name calling, "I thought this was America", sarcasm, and stereo typing groups of people. I'm tired at this point and I'll be pushed into whatever corner you want if drawn into one.

Change is inevitable. It's often not pretty. Freedom and security are always at play. And in the end it's your point of view that's going to be what matters, empathy as well, for other peoples hardships. There is not perfect solution to this, we can have perfect goals and Invision a perfect world. And we can try to get there. But calling all cops bad or all group A or B bad is just part of the problem to begin with. So I can't get behind person or group that pushes that kind of thinking. I have Gay friends, Trans friends, Cop friends, Jewish friends and so on. What I'm not going to do is bandwagon hate any of them. Police have guns because they have to enforce the law. It's scary as hell to be in large group of emotionally charged people with religion backed group thought and a feelings of injustice. But there you have it. Police have to move the people who don't want to move.

War is terrible and should be avoided when possible. War for land or power or religion influence is wrong and should be stopped. I think we can agree. I'm just tired of the victim mentality and stereo typing of each other. It will not work that way. And progress is not a straight line.

And........ I just did exactly what I said I wouldn't do.

Dude, now you just need a moat and drawbridge. That wall is thick. Nice job. Looks like it would stop a car.

I shit my pants and locked my keys in my work truck and blocked the entrance to a gas station on a hot day in L.A once and nobody spoke English. Watery diarrhea running down my leg and I'm sweating while a bunch of men in work trucks tell at me in Spanish. Sun beating down ok me for about

I think I was rocking Atari Jaguar with Aliens Vs Predator during this period. But I rented a Saturn along with Myst once.

Love GraphQL, but oh man is it being over used at my company. Management sees success with one of our large apis, now all the little niche ones have to be migrated and everyone consuming them must migrate as well.

I like it, but the small 2 endpoint APIs that haven't changed in years, have small 5 field models and no related entities, has like 1 or 2 teams that consume them DO NOT need it.

Agreed. For a team of no less than 4 years in federal "pound me in the ass" prison for being a very BAD person.

What should I add to my '90s website?

So I'm currently toying around with NeoCities, and decided to trial it by building your classic mid '90s Geocities/Tripod/Angelfire pastiche website.

Some of the most important elements are already in place.

Tile background? Large font? Heading in bright pink with a shadow? Unusual colour choices? Random cat gifs? Under construction gif? Check! Check! Check!

In the true spirit of the '90s DIY web, some more pages (including the links page) are coming soon.

(I'm thinking of adding a page dedicated to either Britney or a nu-metal band.)

You can see the page so far here: https://that90ssite.neocities.org/

There are a few things that I want to add to make it complete, and I'm looking for suggestions.

The first, is to embed a midi file that plays automatically. Any suggestions on the best way of doing this?

Second, it's just not going to be complete without a guestbook.

Third, any webring suggestions?

Fourth, what's the best way of adding a java chat room in 2024?

Finally, anything else that really needs to be a part of a great '90s website?

UPDATE: Thanks for all the feedback! I've added more annoying GIFs, a guestbook, a links page, and a cyber cat hangout.

UPDATE 2: And added even more gifs, an amazing Amiga demo, and a ton of links.

I was fully prepared for the experience from my teens. My first thought was "that loaded way too fast."

Paycheck to paycheck and your payment is more than you spend on groceries. And your loan has doubled in size because of interest. And will continue to grow. Meanwhile your credit is garbage and you can't get ahead. Bad credit? Crappy car, needs fixes. Higher interest rate. I'm 41 and trying so hard to get ahead of it.

At the very least cap the interest for people. Or how about no interest. You can't chip away at something that's growing faster than you can swing at it.
