Extremely excellent, very very very autistic quote from Brennan Lee Mulligan:
“Curiosity is love for the world, and when you love something, you want to get to know it more. So when you share facts about crows or pterodactyls or whatever, what you are expressing is gratitude for the ability to exist in and come to understand the beauty of the world around you.”
“When you tell someone that you don’t like all the crow facts, you’re…
"You’re actually saying that you hate me. I am my crow facts.”
you understand that there’s nothing wrong with wanting people to pay attention to you, right? it’s not intrinsically evil, you are allowed to want to be seen. you can do it in soft and nice and good ways, but you don’t even have to. you can just want to be seen.
if you respond to sincerity with “ironic” deflection, people will learn that they can’t be sincere with you. do you want people to be sincere with you? you have to be sincere with people.
if you want to be loved, don’t play hard to get, make the act of loving you feel good. if you liked it, just say thank you. being embarrassed is cute.
You make soup in a big bowl. You serve it in a smaller bowl. And then you convey it, using a spoon, to your mouth. But what is the spoon? Simply a smaller bowl still
i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to
unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school
things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)
some very basics on how to use “"developer tools”“ on your computer (because i cant think of a better way to refer to them) like task manager and command prompt (and their mac equivalents, terminal and activity monitor ofc)
internet privacy and your digital footprint!! seriously i dont know why we stopped teaching people that they shouldnt be putting their entire real identity online in a world where your online actions can ruin you irl
as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on
vpns and adblockers! (btw for most of these where you can pay for things im purposefully not recommending any specific software but seriously just use ublock origin for an adblocker)
ok one last addition! if you want to take it one level higher, i think learning the very basics of at least one programming language is good for people. it makes computers less scary and it makes you feel very cool, and a lot of people get discouraged about it because it seems overly complicated and hard to learn outside a formal classroom setting, so heres some resources for learning the very basics of python (because i consider it the easiest language to learn and knowing one language will make it easier to learn others)
i made this post two years ago and dont remember the context. but it only got 23 notes and i have to say im very disappointed in all of you from two years ago. because this is hilarious
