(I'm aware this "Harry Potter [$]" thing is probably getting annoying, and I half apologize, but half not because I'm probably going to keep doing it)

Harry Potter: The Last Jedi
(I'm 95% sure somebody's already written this)

Fun fact: as of November 21, it will be 12 years since the last time a top human chess player won against a top computer chess player (Ruslan Ponomariov vs. Deep Fritz). Since then, the best a human has been able to do is force a draw.

Since then, chess computers have advanced far enough that cell phones can support chess software sufficient to defeat a human grandmaster.

Yes, Google Uses Its Power To Quash Ideas It Doesn't Like

I asked the Google people if I understood correctly: If a publisher didn’t put a +1 button on the page, its search results would suffer? The answer was yes. ..

I published a story headlined, “Stick Google Plus Buttons On Your Pages, Or Your Search Traffic Suffers,” ..

I was told by my higher-ups at Forbes that Google representatives called them saying that the article was problematic and had to come down.

maybe schadenfreude? there's probably a German word for this 

every once in a while, when I'm feeling kinda down about my life, I go to the Captain Awkward forums and read a thread that's just like "HOLY HELLFIRE, WHY ARE YOU PUTTING UP WITH THIS, WHAT EVEN IS THIS MESS," and my life slides neatly into perspective for the actually pretty awesome thing it actually is. :D

it's always hilarious seeing a crow fledgling trying to deal with a peanut in the shell for the first time. "I know there's food in here... how does it... can I open it here?? it's not... HOW DOES THIS EVEN" there's a lot of flapping and pecking and frustrated grumbling. <3

If you like the Silicon Dawn tarot deck, this is the same artist/author.

*dental emergency*
So I think I posted about this when it happened but one of my molars broke in half and fell out and now I'm in daily pain and need it removed but can't afford it. I made a YouCaring, would appreciate this post being boosted! If anyone wants to contribute, that'd be great, also I have squarecash: ($vicentevalentino)

Thank you!!

okay if I'm going to the store I should go now. *hnnnnrrrrgggghhh*

... damn, my ass is stuck to this chair. >____>

my is the same as my and they both mean me. I've never been good at--hmm, original sounds/words, so when I think of a "true name" for myself, what comes to mind is a combination of grey and green; grey of fog/overcast, green of abundant foliage in a rainy climate. I use "green" as my public handle, because my green hair makes it easy for folks to remember; "grey" is my surname in that context.

Gentle reminder: I'm a poor unemployed woof swimming in debt and I need some sort term financial help to pay some of it down:

Long term I'm looking for remote editing, php, or database work:
