The is the Pride Month content I came here for.

I think I used an Apple ][ through the gifted program before we got a used Commodore 64 at home, but I spent more time on the C64. Taught myself to type and to program in BASIC.

HTML doesn’t “run”. It’s not a scripting language, it’s a markup language. All it does is mark sections of the document for the browser to display.

CSS is the rules for how to display the marked-up document. Even when CSS is not defined for a document, the default stylesheet of the browser is used. It’s not an interpreted language.

well, a markup language, not necessarily hypertext markup language

No dice, looking at the scores on recent comments I’ve made is how I microdose dopamine.

I used to not use a case, because I had a ruggedized hiking phone that didn’t need one.

I’ve donated information but never money.

$950 housing

~$450 utilities & phones

~$150 transit

~$400 groceries

and then a variable amount on medical, clothing, eating out, and travel, the rest goes into long-term savings

Chicago, I’m a waitress myself and support a family of five here on that income.

Again, by spending less than the median housing cost, ideally by spending no more than a third of the median housing cost.

Eg. The median rent in Chicago is about $2K\mo right now. But you can live an more economically depressed part of town and get a one-bedroom for $1.1K or a three bedroom for that same $2K and split that with two roommates.

I’m not OP and her proposal isn’t perfect, but this particular critique just doesn’t hold water when she specified the median housing cost.

TBF you can still support dependants as a part-time waitress today.

Only if you live alone and aren’t willing to live in lower-cost housing.

It takes like a sweet dessert.

It smells like the sticky fluid that collects at the bottom of garbage cans.

I tend to think the the obligation to action falls more heavily on the privileged. Those who aren’t marginalized have a duty to use their position to correct the injustices.

Every time I see that screenshot it hits so hard.

sweeping afterwards was always part of the job

No more often than I eat meat now, which is only as often as I have to not be rude.

cleaning the litterbox is actually less unpleasant:

• doesn’t have to happen at a specific time

• if I fuck it up, it doesn’t spill over into other tasks

• it’s an act of service towards someone else and thus easier to motivate me than something that’s for myself
