Doing research for our new 🇪🇺 Turns out Sexy Patrick Bateman doesn't even need us to run weapons for the Résistance, though I'm sure France can help him smuggle whatever bits and bobs they might need. Europeans would also not need to spend anything on brigades of little green ENBYs to infiltrate and control polling stations, Californians would secede for free.

In conclusion, we could dismantle the US on the cheap. Will circle back with maps.

California has has most nuclear warfare sites and ranks fourth in number of warheads stockpiled.

I'm against banning social media for under 16's. Just outright banning doesn't make something unavailable - just unregulated and not monitored. Alcohol and vapes are still common among under 16's - especial those that are vulnerable.
I am for under 16's not being allowed on corporate socials though - as they are toxic places which do provably screw with brain development in youth - because of that algorithmic nature.
I am considering pitching an idea to a local established non-profit that I sometimes work with, who run a number of local youth clubs across the region.
It is an idea of setting up a fediverse instance for 11-15 year olds. An account can only be made in person alongside being a member of a youth club -with parent / guardian consent.
It will not be federated to the general social web, and begin as a self-contained bubble - but with the idea of other regions creating the same thing and federating together.
It would be moderated by the same volunteers / employees that run the youth clubs and social services - who are fully vetted, and follow the protocols - which already also includes moderating each other.
Perhaps even somehow make it so the kids can't post on it during school hours, and after, perhaps, 10pm?
There would of course be a set of standards expectations, or community codes of conduct, like here in the Fedi. Perhaps also running regular fun things too, that get kids thinking creatively (like what happens at the clubs anyway).
There are of course many many issues with this idea, and I can't see it actually happening just like that.
Not only is there unlikely the right fedi project to accommodate needs, but things like the online safety act potentially blocking the ability to create safe community based social networks for youth. And I'm sure there are many other issues as to why this idea might not work either. Like, what happens when someone turns 16? Are they just kicked off?
However, I do know that corporate socials are bad - but not providing good safe alternatives when attempting to protect children, actually makes them more vulnerable and unsafe. We need a way to embrace them, not outcast them.

pet death, ---

I'm sad to say we lost Willoughby yesterday.

Rats know they are prey animals. They hide weakness until they can't. Willoughby was having trouble breathing Monday night. We rushed him to the vet Tuesday morning. An X-ray showed that he had advanced lung cancer. We had to let him go.

If you sponsored n4sa2e, you got Willoughby's portrait on your challenge coin.

Q: 동대구구구구구구 비둘기야 먹자~ #neo_quesdon

질문자:@thx@mustard.blog상어학산타 :spinny_cat_gay:
A: 동대구역 승강장에는 비둘기 먹이 금지 표식이 걸려 있습니다... 먹이를 줄 경우 과태료 대상이 될 수 있고
사실 그러지 않아도 비둘기는 지나가는 행인을 직접 사냥해서 배를 충분히 채울 수 있기 때문에 인위적으로 모이를 줄 필요는 없다고 하네요

我還記得十年前,台灣媒體很讚賞中國的「狼性」,那時候很多老人(?)都在批台灣年輕人沒有狼性,搭配一張清晨(還是深夜?)北大圖書館客滿都是學生在讀書的照片,我這批從小被罵草莓族的台灣年輕人又被罵一次沒有狼性一定會輸中國。

因為我討厭這種敘事,就沒有太理它,後來不知不覺間,報章媒體上看到的不再是「狼性」,漸漸變成「內卷」。其實在「狼性」時期,我就看到一些意見是,那是因為他們太「內卷」了才需要這麼拚,台灣保有讓人適性發展的空間是很好的。「內卷」這個關鍵字作為過渡,應該也有幾年吧?現在,聽到的都變成「躺平」,再也沒人提「狼性」。

感慨的是十年前我厭惡「因為中國一定強,我們要依附中國」的言論,我當時想,要是中國衰落就好了,台灣人就不會想親中了。沒想到十年後的現在,中國的確衰落了,但親中的人沒有變,他們還是叫囂著,甚至說到讓我媽相信台積電移到美國一定會賠錢而賣了台積電股票(當然,這是我媽自己的問題,她長久以來都憑著鄰里友人說的話在買賣股票,而她這方面的運一直不好)。

Q: 투항항 #neo_quesdon

A: 우선 이를 쓰리항항이나 포항항과 같이 임의의 자연수 범위에서 일반화할 수 있음을 보입니다.
이러한 n-항항을 해석적으로 확장하면 임의의 k ∈ R에 대해 ⅖항항이나 -π항항과 같은 k-항항을 정의할 수 있는데, 이를 바로
일반화된 이항항정리라고 합니다.

i cannot begin to describe how moving this was. someone i saw posting it said, "it was the most human thing they've read in a long, long time". seriously, stop what you're doing and read this:

sightlessscribbles.com/the-col

> The "problem" was that creating art—real, human, meaningful writing—is slow. It is expensive. It is unpredictable. And it is diverse. It requires dealing with people. People with traumas, people with political opinions, people with voices that don't fit into a corporate style guide. Minority writers, specifically, are "high friction." We talk about queerness and transphobia and racism, and We talk about disability. We make the advertisers uncomfortable.
>
> So the Tech Bros, in their infinite mediocrity, decided to bypass the human element entirely. They built a machine that scrapes our work—our pain, our joy, our very souls—without consent, grinds it into a mathematical slurry, and extrudes it as a flavorless, inoffensive paste that can be sold by the bucket.
