God They Cut Off All The Internet And Cellular Networks In Gaza

the way people are taught programming today continues to drive me insane insane insane

I hate the “Thoreau’s mom did his laundry” criticism so much, it drives me crazy.

Henry Thoreau did not go to Walden Pond because he thought it would be a fun adventure. He went into the woods because he was deeply depressed and burnt out. He was running from the horror of his brother and best friend recently dying in his arms, and the haunting memory of causing the Fairhaven Bay fire. His friend Ellery Channing literally gave him the ultimatum of either taking some time off to write and think, or else be institutionalized.

I think Thoreau’s mother saw her depressed son choosing to retreat into a small cabin in the woods, and was worried about him. Of course she did his laundry - just as Ralph Waldo Emerson probably brought him firewood and bread. These were not chores of obligation to support a “great” man, but services of love to help their deeply depressed 28yo son and friend.

And if you ask me, there’s a lesson in that - to “suck out the marrow of life” and “live deliberately,” one must also accept help offered from the people in your life who love you. There is no true transcendentalism or individualism without love and friendship behind it.

happy Thursday the 20th

Hii I was writing a response but it got way to long winded so its here if you still want to read it: https://www.tumblr.com/worlds-oldest-teenager/719482151699185664/why-i-think-apollo-is-the-golden-child-and-not-the?source=share

(sorry this is my unused main account and idk how to make those nice looking links)

Omg adding on to Meg and Apollo being the golden child ™. Idk how canon it is cause it's been years since I read the books but Nero's adopted abducted children are all sort of replacements for the Olympians right? Is Meg supposed to be Apollo's replacement? Cause it would be so messed up if Nero purposely raised her how Apollo was raised to cultivate the perfect Apollo or whatever.

It's very crack theory. Nero probably was like that to Meg cause abusers just be like that. Also he's so dramatic he would love to get a little child of apollo and it would be so much easier to turn a child on their absent father than a random child of another god. Unless Apollo is such a good father he'd notice they got abducted immediately so they had to go with another child. Nero and Caligula especially want to replace Apollo with themselves so idek man.

However it opens up a bunch of super funny stuff. Like Nero thinks a better Apollo is just someone with all his trauma, who talks less and has the ability to swordfight?

Where did he even get this inside info on Apollo's traumatic childhood? I'll tell you where: From Commodus. He probably couldn't resist shit talking his ex to Nero who took it all as parenting lessons.

Commodus: And then he was saying, "No, Commodus the bolts did it to me. My father would never hurt me." How stupid do you have to be to think an inanimate object is abusing you?

Nero, writing furiously: Manipulate child into viewing you and your abuse as two separate people.

Oooo this is so pretty. Thanks for tagging me >:D
