"No More Stolen Sisters"

Muscogee Creek artist Maddie Lamb painted a large MMIW mural in Muskogee, Oklahoma, to bring attention to the cause of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.

Fun little math trick I find really helpful: the ratio of a mile to a kilometer is within 1% of the Golden Ratio. That means that if you have a good memory for Fibonacci numbers (1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89) you can convert pretty accurately by taking consecutive Fibonacci numbers.

For example, 89 kilometers is really close to 55 miles (55.3). Or, say you need to convert 26 miles to kilometers: 26 can be written as 21 plus 5, so taking the next Fibonacci number up gives 34 and 8, meaning it should be around 42 kilometers. Sure enough, it's 41.8 km!

i need several moments, math like this scares me

Not gonna lie, as much as I want to be helpful and comprehensible, I am very proud of provoking that reaction image.

I took a jaunt around europe and used this trick constantly

a development team that looks like this could not possibly have any preconceived biases against Black people. noooo way. its just a mistake that all of the Black people in fo4 are slaves or named after fascist colonizers or murdered or stereotypical conspiracy freaks. there is no way that the reality of this team is reflected in the art they create over and over and over and over and over and over and

Here's the interview screenshot I post at every opportunity

They brag about having maintained the same team with no outside influences since Fallout 3. They have decided on their in-group and they consciously protect it from new points of view.

Todd Howard actually thinks that his team of entirely white, near entirely male devs represents a healthy environment for storytelling and insists they have as many debates and opinions as they could need. I think the insistence on maintaining a core team who do not challenge each other or present any meaningful questions, who do not come from diverse backgrounds, is actually vulgar, and he literally cannot comprehend that.

Google is actively blocking Captcha on Firefox

Firefox users have noticed that captchas - both the picture kind and the click the box kind - are not resolving on Firefox. Tests on Chromium based browsers show that it works perfectly fine on them. It is also known that Chrome will be disabling all ad-blockers in June when it moves to Manifest v3, which will greatly limit what extensions can do.

If you use Firefox, there is an extension called User-Agent Switcher and it allows you to change your browser's UA to Chrome. This will allow you to bypass reCaptcha/Captcha blocks set up by Google and make them function properly.

It could be a code snafu on Google's part - but given how predatory they have been acting lately, I'm going to guess not. Don't get locked out of your websites or feel forced to use Chrome again just to browse.

Ok so what is jaywalking then

It's crossing a street somewhere that there isn't a designated crosswalk (pictured below in case knowledge of what a crosswalk is isn't universal)

Oh I did not know that's what it was called! How fascinating!

What do you mean a crime

Yeah it's technically a crime in the US but as far as I know it's basically never enforced

Nah they enforce it. I know someone who got a $30-ish fine for jaywalking.
