Okay making this joke prompted me to re-read the wikipedia page, and there's something new to me:

Woah!

Instead of those "everyone should code" campaigns we should do "everyone should philosophy" campaigns

I keep asking around for a decent GDPR consultant

Everyone I've asked said they know a great one but none of them'll give me their phone number

Okay! A poll:

Is a selfie:

A: Specifically a photo taken from holding a camera/phone pointed at yourself

B: Any photo where the poster is the primary subject

?

Because I feel like the word originally meant A but is starting to be used to mean B a whole lot of the time.

@admin

Hrm, just definitely had a post not show up in my HTL. Was posted just now, but I only see the reply :/
