getting back in bed with my gf and her gf and the only think i can think of is "my two girlfriends... and they both smoke weed"

here

ah, yes, FAFO... Farbage An, Farbage Out

@anna london and berlin have been good in my experience, but yeah other places are very conservative when it comes to those kinds of differences

lol some au pair from cali that lives in france made a tiktok saying that she got sniffed out as a foreigner all the time by what she wears, and ended up interviewed by insider

and in her interview she says "I actually see a lot more people with natural-hued hair here, and people have plainer clothes and a skincare routine that's much more natural" and. yeah french people dress in a boring way because everyone is extremely judgemental! you can just say that!!

that's why I keep getting talked to in english when i'm in france! because I have colored hair and piercings. I get dirty looks everywhere, multiple people in cafes have basically declined to talk to me, I've been ignored in shops and followed by security in grocery stores :) like it sucks out there!

something I've learned after spending the past three months on the road is that long-distance driving with someone besides you is actually a fight to the death for control of the music. my partner is currently playing all of the taylor swift songs that I hate (not that I don't like anything she's done, I like folklore/evermore and some other songs here and there, but the last album was a catastrophe) and i'm shrinking into a corn cob

anyway that's fixed now because web dot com was bought by verisign so :)

(also ICANN was created in 98 and they made it illegal to operate a registrar and a registry as one entity. Nowadays verisign is the monopoly private company registry for .com but they don't sell to customers directly, registrars do that. They just happen to also own a registrar :) )

it's so funny how the US just HAS to do public-private partnerships. ICANN could run the root zone themselves but instead they give untold amounts of money to verisign to do it because ???

Cloudflare also is the registry for .gov. why? why does .gov even need a registry, only government entities can register there. just have a federal Thing run it?

I mean most (all?) european ccTLDs are run by public entities because like of course they are. they're just DNS servers!

people think the current DNS infrastructure is fucked up but they don't know there used to be a single american company called web dot com that operated .org, .com, and .net, and was the sole registrar for them. also boeing managed .mil for a while for some reason

death valley kinda weak, went through it and we're still alive

hoh rainforest is beautiful
