*wakes up in the dragon world* what the

elder dragon: your finally awake . youve been dreaming this whole time and now you are a dragon

me: woah and i can have a dragon girlfriend too?

elder dragon: you already have 100 dragon girlfriends... theyve been waiting...

Last post I will do about this for a while (but I have a feeling we will be talking about this for a long time) but also notice that all the charges against Maduro are for drugs and whatever else. None of them are about human rights. If the US truly cared about human rights and was willing to use force about it, it would have toppled Saudi Arabia or Israel. None of this is about democracy, human rights, or a better future for Venezuela. If you think otherwise you are deluding yourself. The US will destroy your country and leave it to the dogs.

their gfm for legal & medical expenses

im not gonna pretend like im a personal friend of Mar or anything but the goth space here is extremely small and tight knit and their prescence has a domino effect on everyone. i mean fuck the gfm is already at 60% after being up for like a few hours, that's a huge deal. life is undeniably better here thanks to Mar, who's responsible for holding up like 20 different events at once.

Question for someone who literally grew up on the old internet: how were you supposed to find websites before the general search engine?

(With reference to this post here.)

In the very early days, the public-facing Internet was small enough that you could just, like, remember where everything was. Contrary to the modern Internet's rapid content churn and walled-garden siloing, early websites tended to have deep, statically preserved content archives and dense cross-site linking, so it wasn't uncommon to set about finding previously visited sites simply by retracing one's path from memory. Even simple bookmarking was sometimes derided as a crutch for people who were too lazy to learn how to navigate the Internet "properly"; indeed, once web browsers added built-in support for bookmark lists, some people refused to use them as a matter of principle!

Once the Internet grew to the point where this approach was no longer feasible, there was a period of a few years where various parties tried to construct human-curated, hierarchical directories of the entire Internet. This was, of course, doomed to fail, as the Internet was growing faster than it could be manually catalogued, but they gave it the old college try. Some popular search engines such as Yahoo actually started out as directories of this type, and only later added search functionality. Meanwhile, communities of interest adopted a more targeted approach, with dedicated "links" pages containing curated recommendations for other, similar sites becoming ubiquitous on personal websites, while users who lacked the time or expertise to offer curated links could participate in webrings and other volunteer-operated directory services.

(The idea of cataloguing the whole Internet according to a topical hierarchy led to some fascinating taxonomic decisions. At one point, Yahoo's directory had a subcategory specifically for sexually explicit Dungeons & Dragons resources, or "netbooks", as they were called at the time.)

A relatively pg example of a netbooks contents from the era

Oh, yeah, there was a genuinely surprising frequency of random piss kink and diaper stuff in D&D netbooks in the early to mid 1990s, even in the ones that weren't otherwise pornographic. You'd be skimming one of those big stupid "d1000 wild magic effects" tables and entries 637–645 would just be a straight run of piss calamities. That "dare you enter my magical realm" meme is 100% not exaggerating!

Nobody has mentioned it yet, but the Shul that was protested last night in Queens was hosting a real estate event. They were selling stolen Palestinian land.

That's a pretty big detail that would seriously change the optics here if true

They were protesting the Tivuch Shelly real estate agency, if you check their site:

this is the white devil profiting off of the displacement of Palestinians.
