"The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is now" is clearly bogus. If we're allowing times in the past, the second best time is 19 years ago

lmao sometimes feels like tech people are in kindergarten tier English class!!!! We are currently paying *crazy money* for these people to realise something humanities grads understand and can wield expertly for less than the price of this bad software
resonated with me. As someone still experimenting and learning with Al filmmaking, I'm finding that generating something visually impressive is becoming easier, but creating something that actually makes people feel something is the real challenge.

the theme could be: you are some unlucky Scots who for some reason have decided to settle a swamp in Central America. You have no funds. You are all going to die.

Watching a let's play of Still Wakes the Deep where they're using the "please translate all the hard words into English (International)" subtitles option, and it's got me strongly believing non-scots players should just suck it up and learn what a jobbie is through context

back on topic, I really do feel weird about getting a prize. it’s never been just me. it’s always been a collective endeavour. all I did was talk and I just did it for the sake of it.

it was a nice event - finally got to know one of my GW comrades and made lots of new acquaintances. i’m glad i (unexpectedly) won the category cos I got to shout out all the other women and enbies who have made our union possible and who deserve acclaim much more than i do!
