When Google imposed its new look on me I at first had the option to return to its Classic theme.

Just today my Gmail returned to it's new, IMHO really poor quality look, without the option for Gmail Classic.

I've found hosting my own email server to be unreliable enough that it's worth it to me to pay someone else to host it for me.

Have you any suggestions?

Why you don’t really have a ‘type’

“Beauty still is in the eye of the beholder, but our on-going work suggests that the beholder may be changing constantly,” says Haiyang Yang, assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University Carey Business School and author of a study that found that our sense of beauty can change based on other people’s opinions. “It can be argued that the advent of the internet age may be causing people to change their beauty standards faster than ever before in human history.”

I'm hosting a friend for free on the VM that I get for free.

My friend has oodles of domains, which I regard as a waste of money but he pointed out "It's my money, not yours".

More importantly, just one guy can't develop so many websites all at the same time - but it's _his_ time not mine.

Today I will configure all his domains and put up a "Hey Is This Thing On" page at each of them. He's got like twenty domains.

After that I'll continue to fiddle with the two week free trial that SEMRush gave me. I'm definitely going to pay for a SEMRush subscription however I don't know when as money has been quite tight since my July Manic Episode.

Because my bag is full of Magazines Of Ill Repute.

Brett Kavanaugh, wife and Christine Blasey Ford all receiving death threats: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE

It's 2018. Why is a public figure receiving death threats "news"? There must be individuals out there making death threats to several people every day (hundreds per year), and the chance of them getting caught and brought to trial is minimal.

Pointing out that you receive death threats or mere angry emails does not mean you should get any sympathy. It was news a decade or two ago, but no longer. The Internet is a whirlwind of hate, and as long as (relative) anonymity exists, it will stay that way. And that anonymity is more valuable than the chance to get rid of (a % of) routine death threats.

Are we to the point yet where we can mostly agree that the name game is fucking stupid? You know, the one where as soon as everyone gets used to referring to a group by $name it gets declared *ist and a new and wildly less accurate one is created? This isn't a thing I lose sleep over and it doesn't offend me when someone uses one of the retarded terms but the fact that it is still a thing that happens annoys me much in the same way people not using their turn signals does.

Let's go through a few here. Mine first. Native American. I was born here, so I'm a native American. So is little Chewy who was born in east L.A. even though his parents were illegals. So is Tyrone who was born in Detroit. So is Sally who was born in Vermont. Which is to say, it's a fucking idiotic term. I prefer Indian or wagon burner but I'll answer to anything that isn't trying to paint my race as delicate snowflakes; even Azuma's favorite racial slur, Chief Shitting Bull, is better.

African American next. For starters, not all black people are American. Not by a long shot. Also, the vast majority of them are no more African than they are Martian. If you just emigrated from Africa and got citizenship, this term would make sense. Most black folks though can't even tell you which quarter of that continent their ancestors came from. They have zero genuine ties to Africa.

Asian Americans? They're generally fucking proud of being from their nation of origin and would prefer that nomenclature-wise. Don't believe me? Call a Japanese person Chinese and see what happens. Lumping them all together is actually insulting if you know their ancestry. You're basically saying they all look alike. See African American for the American bit.

Middle Eastern? See above but switch Israeli and Egyptian for Japanese and Chinese.

Hispanic? Did you know you can call a person from Germany German, a person from Canada Canadian, but not a person from Mexico Mexican? That's some fucktarded shit.

People of Color? Strictly a term to exclude white people. Damn fine way to spot a racist asshole though.

Now how about some that have been declared reee-worthy simply so you can call someone a bigot...

Retard/retarded. See, this word has an actual meaning and is not an insult to anyone who it is an accurate description of. But it's been around a while, so it must be offensive and need changing.

Ditto disabled, handicapped, etc...

Tranny? Short for trans-whatever using the long standing habit of chopping a long word and adding "y" to shorten it. No more insulting than Tommy for a guy named Thomas. Jimmy for James never made sense to me on account of having the same number of letters but at least it follows a pattern that makes sense in general even if not in every specific case.

We don't even need to go into the pronoun game much. Anyone who can't decide on male or female can fuck right off and anyone getting offended about not being called the one they prefer should stop fucking looking like the other one.

If you're pissed off and want to discuss this, please try and present a rational argument. You being offended isn't going to cause any fucks to be given by me, no matter how hurt your butt is.

But seriously folks - I've found a 100% bugs in the W3C HTML5 validator - it doesn't catch a certain unclosed tag. It also doesn't catch a bad entity, but I don't know maybe HTML 5 is OK with ampersands that mark the start of a query parameter.

I'll report this later today.
