  • Tbh I just mostly be annoyed at how much US stuff makes it my way, even though I’ve never even set foot there. English became a lingua franca of sorts, and through the use of it online, I cannot avoid stumblin’ upon their news and, especially, politics. And sometimes I come to wonder if the (information-based) content I consume might be more relevant to US audiences, therefore rendering the information irrelevant to me.

    I do have to give it to them, though, they do have good content online (or rather, content in English tends to be quite good, and in my opinion, unmatched in many languages of which I know and understand, for the number of YouTube channels I follow in any other language pales in comparison to the stuff in English (where are the non-English video essays, funny but sometimes also wise commentary videos, and interesting and sometimes quite fun videos on topics that might teach you a thing or two? (shout out to Ter and Jaime Altozano for the (less frequent) fun content that keeps my YouTube* feed the tiniest bit less English (and never makes me question if I actually like their content, as it’s usually great stuff))))

    Also, United States of America? Cause… their country is made of states, and these are united? What are countries, if not states, united, after all? And… it’s in America, the continent, as well! Did they not come up with a better name? Almost reminds me of Monty Python’s witch scene, from The Holy Grail. “And what are countries made of?” " Land" “Churches” “States”. Who art thee, so wise in the ways of science?

Did they exist, or how popular were they back in, idk, 2000s? 90s? 80s? Actually, what even are programming socks? Maybe I should just research that, and look also into Google’s Trend for programming socks over the years. I mean, I’ve programmed, and wasn’t even aware of programming socks. Been programming in any way, shape, or form, for longer than I knew of programming socks, and I am young. Are they a trans thing? Or a femboy thing? Or are they actually a programmimg thing? How do these connect? What is the connection of factors that lead to programming socks? Are the socks in any way related to programming? What is the connection between the socks and programming? So many questions, so li
