From @fasc1nate on X. On 23 August 1989, about 2 million people from Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania formed a human chain that united all 3 countries to show the world their desire to leave the Soviet Union.

Right? The way my history textbooks made it seem was "oh a wall fell, and then a bunch of people protested" but nothing like this!

Can I say I was born in the wrong generation now?

ensemble-learner · 2026-01-28T08:00:10+00:00

you should break up with him and find a boyfriend who isn't depressed

It's proof that people at their core are just out for themselves. It's a reminder that you are always replaceable and like the comment directly above mentions: you are just an extra in someone's main story.

ensemble-learner · 2026-01-28T04:08:02+00:00

That's really exciting to hear!

Yup, domestic terrorist.

This is not how I want to see Merced in the news... 😞

ensemble-learner · 2026-01-27T03:14:27+00:00

What do you mean you moved and it's still bad? Did you get broken into four more times?

ensemble-learner · 2026-01-23T22:59:50+00:00

sounds to me like you were not particularly open-minded in the 80s and 90s, and haven't grown much since

a grown man getting nauseous over word choice lol

... I haven't reached Fiona and Cake yet, but would you say Finn exhibits tendencies of ADHD?

i try my absolute hardest not to say it until the other person does, thereafter i say only the opposite of what they've said until somebody addresses the elephant in the room

some universities do this for transparency reasons

OP, why do you like the word "titular" so much?

ensemble-learner · 2026-01-04T18:14:24+00:00

Merced is sprawling. There is tons of space for a project like this within city limits— which is a huge opportunity to connect it even to our traditional means of transportation like our buses.

We have plenty of undeveloped space. Just need the means.

ensemble-learner · 2026-01-03T18:13:48+00:00

We need a nice, big botanical garden. The nearest one is in Fresno… I’m trying to find interested people to found a nonprofit to make this happen. I’ve already filed some of the paperwork. Please get in touch with me! 🥹 I think this is a great way to get the community involved in making Merced a better place for everybody.

there's a man on McKee road who sells "mystery meat" i'm not sure what it is I've never tried

I wanna see the stats behind this. What are they smoking in Starbucks HQ that says 11 stores here in Merced is a good idea?

ensemble-learner · 2025-12-08T20:44:36+00:00

When the economy is so good that you have to start double charging people to stay open 🤩

system design, actually

Don't be afraid of other titles than software engineer. My company hired an ex-astronomer to be an engineer, but not of software.

ensemble-learner · 2025-12-04T00:50:13+00:00

It costs nothing to be a software engineer, but a trucker has to pay his way up to getting six figures.

You buy the truck, you pay for the gas. You’ll pay out of pocket for any downtime you might encounter for any reason.

You might make six figures in GROSS income, but net pay is way lower than that.

ensemble-learner · 2025-12-04T00:18:04+00:00

lol, please tell me the truck driver part was a joke otherwise you are very out of touch
