See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

If you like Firefox, stop recommending huge lists of plugins to new users, and don’t reblog posts that do

I don’t care if it “works great for me.”  I don’t care if every plugin on your list is well maintained and well vetted.  

Plugin interraction is complex and unpredictable.  “Works on my machine” is the worst kind of anecdotal evidence.  I have seen IT professionals who roll out privacy-conscious plugin configurations to hundreds or thousands of machines and their lists of plugins are always very short.  As soon as a list of plugins hits any sort large-scale testing, you start seeing how many ways plugin interrraction can go wrong.

The best way to put new users off Firefox is to saddle them down with a bad configuration, and your long list of favorite plugins is just that.

“Huge” is anything more than, oh, three or four.  Honestly four is pushing it.

we hunt the mighty pasta BEAST

The poem is written in common hymn meter (alternating lines of 8 and 6 syllables, usually iambs), so there are many possible tunes you can use to sing it:

  • Amazing Grace
  • Pokemon theme song
  • Gilligan's Island theme
  • House of the Rising Sun
  • O Little Town of Bethlehem
  • Joy to the World

Feel free to add any favorites!

"Not then, not now, never again fascism

Never forget Srebrenica genocide"

Mural in Amsterdam of Potočari cemetery featuring the names of different Bosnian towns and cities with the corresponding estimated amount of victims.

Almost 30 years has passed since Europe was shaken by the genocide of more than 8000 muslim boys and men in the Bosnian city of Srebrenica, at the hands of Bosnian Serb troops during an operation of ethnic cleansing, witnessed by UN peacekeeping troops who failed resoundingly in their protection mission.

In the midst of the conflict in the Balkans during the 1990’s, the small city of Srebrenica, in Eastern Bosnia, was established as a “safe area” by the UN for civilians fleeing fights between Bosnian government and separatist Serb forces, during the breakup of Yugoslavia.

On 11 July 1995, Serb forces attacked Srebrenica lead by Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladić, conducting a ten-day operation to take over Srebrenica and subject it to ethnic cleansing. More than 8000 people were killed, mainly Bosnian muslim boys and men.

If you're trying to unpack and heal from Christian religious trauma, a thing you really need to understand (if you don't already) is that you were probably misled about Judaism a lot. Christianity generally tries to paint itself as the self-evident successor of Judaism, and one of the ways it does this is by painting Judaism as Christianity Without Jesus.

In reality, Judaism is practiced very differently from Christianity, and Jews have a very different relationship to their Bible than Christians have to theirs. Just about everything you'll hear about Judaism from Christians is total hogwash - literally, it's Christian propaganda. Christianity as most of us know it was shaped by the Roman Empire's political agendas, and that's a huge reason why it's the way it is.
