my relationship with dragon age as a series is so twisted it’s like my ex-husband i divorced in the messiest way possible but i still have feelings for him nobody knows me like he does and we have occasional passionate love affairs still but also i daydream about killing him in his sleep quite often
hes lying next to me in bed my hands are shaking closing around his throat i cant see through the tears
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 don’t want to know what people say about me when I’m not there because frankly that’s not my business
Sometimes you need to vent about people you like and them hearing the things you say about them won’t be helpful to anybody. As long as someone isn’t going around trying to convince everyone that I’m the zodiac killer I don’t wanna know.
I know that negative things must be said about me sometimes and if they don’t think I need to hear it then I don’t need to hear it.
This is why you have at least two children. So they can complain about you behind your back. Giving other people in your life space to be frustrated with you is good. But you don’t need to hear about it. If it’s that important they should say it to your face. If they don’t tell you and they think you ought to know then that’s their problem.
Everyone is inconvenient and annoying. It comes free with being alive.
