  • Well, he’s right, if they’re quitting over him removing the fact checkers. He’s also virtue signaling that he’s actually for free speech by removing them, just as he was virtue signalling that he was a good boi by hiring them in the first place. Zuckerberg is going to signal to whoever is currently in power that he’s going to do whatever they tell him to, no matter who it is, because it’s in the best interest of his position at fb.

    I think getting rid of fact checkers is a good thing, but I don’t think for a second that he wouldn’t immediately get them back if the next admin told him to.


  • To self-study for the FE exam. It’s what freshly-graduated engineering students have to take to officially be “in-training” as an engineer.

    Welp, I do not have a bachelors degree in engineering, but I’m coming up on 3 years of working in the field as a designer and next year I can also take the exam. So, I’m going to spend the next year teaching myself everything I’ll need to know.






  • When I was young I had the bright idea to take a copyrighted, published book and only change the names of the characters to an anime I liked and post it up on fanfiction.net. Totally knew what plagiarism was then. Didn’t think I’d get caught.

    No idea why I thought that, either… People who like reading books also like reading fanfiction. Up until then I’d had a small following, so it was traumatic when all those people immediately - and very rightly so - got mad at me. My whole ffn account got wiped clean.

    However, that was back when doxxing wasn’t really a big thing and everyone was satisfied with my account being wiped. No one tried to hunt me down or call my school or whatever. I just sulked around the house a lot and then made a new account with only my original fanfiction writing. I can’t imagine what it’d be like trying to do that today, even if I was young like I was back then.
