The audio is a remix of the theme song to the beloved American children’s cartoon, Arthur

Stand on the side of the average American road, and see if you still feel the same way. It doesn’t really matter how you convince the average American to ride a bike and invest in appropriate infrastructure, only that it happens. Shit’s dire over here, and I’ll take cringe biking ad instead of getting run over by a Ford F-250 in a Walmart parking lot

For as much as your average American loves big government conspiracies, and harping about other people violating the sanctity of their property, they have absolutely no actual privacy and security sense

So… How does it taste?

Not really favorite, but I always thought the concept was fun. There was a cartoon called Evil Con Carne which I think shared a time slot with The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy?

But the premise was that an evil supervillain died in an attempt to take over the world, but his brain was rescued and put in a jar. Every episode the evil brain hatches a scheme, but it always goes horribly awry

I really like your site! What did you do to get the guestbook up and running?

Neocities is the main host/discovery tool that people use, though there are other hosts out there, like NekoWeb.

If you wanna find smaller sites like this, Marginalia Search is a great place to look. Neocities also has it’s own search function

I’ve even seen a couple communities here on Lemmy have Web Ring links in their sidebars. So check those too (community moderators, do more of that. I think it’s rad!)

Some other things to check out that are tangentially related are:

The Gemini Protocol - an alternative to HTTP, that’s more text heavy, but full of hobbyists doing cool stuff. There are personal sites, forums, Microblogging platforms, etc. I really like Lagrange Browser, because it’s easy to use and looks really nice.

Protoweb - basically a really fancy version of the Wayback machine. If you install the standalone Retrozilla version of Protoweb, it’ll more or less work right out of the box! (If you use linux, it runs perfectly fine on Wine) It’s neat to be able to browse the web and see what ot used to be like, before the Predominance of social media.

Fuck yeah!!! Everyone should make a site like this! I’ve been having tons of fun with mine recently.

The indie, the Fediverse, the Gemini Protocol, and Protoweb (and Linux, of course) have made using the computer genuinely fun again.

Wow, the stock Windows Vista wallpaper!

If Zohran wasn’t a lib, he’d beat the king up and steal it back himself, like a bully stealing your lunch money. smh 😔

Ok, but wargaming has been a part of military strategy for ages?

The US did one called Millennium Challenge which simulated war with Iran in the Persian Gulf, and the US could only win, if they rigged the game entirely in the US’ favor.

Fast forward 20 some years, and we see how instructive that wargame ended up being…

Fuck the NYT though, they can suck my girl cock fr

So like… I’ve seen Marie Antonette’s house, and the little fake village where she pretended to be poor.

And it makes all the sense in the world that they chopped her head off. It wasn’t because they were jealous. It was because the nobility’s entire way of life was untenably built on the suffering of the French masses, and the contradictions mounted such that they did a little slicey slicey about it

but she did do the “They don’t want power, they want to endlessly critique power” line

Which is crazy because there are definitely people who do that, but I find that they’re largely libs

You might not have medically transitioned, but surely you socially transitioned in some way. Changed your name and/or pronouns? Altered the way you dress, perhaps?

Looks like North Korean Passports feature the state seal, and some nice pictures of monuments and nature. No leaders depicted at all

Nonbinary person here, and yes nb people are trans. You’re transitioning from one gender to another.

Trying to assert otherwise, and playing semantic word games, especially when we’re all being so heavily targeted right now, is reckless and stupid. Whether an individual non-binary person feels a strong connection of the word transgender is their business, but we should all be banding together and meeting the fucking moment. Not atomizing ourselves further

England, of all nations, has become the good guy

Let’s not get too crazy here. TERF Island can still sink into the fucking sea, as far as I’m concerned

Pestilence, even
