It's quite possible that the worst media/literary sin the Good Omens finale was that they MENTIONED A DERRINGER IN A BOOK and it NEVER WENT OFF by the end.
(For legal purposes this is a joke)
i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to
unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school
things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)
how to troubleshoot by yourself when you have a technical problem
what common file types are
some very basics on how to use ""developer tools"" on your computer (because i cant think of a better way to refer to them) like task manager and command prompt (and their mac equivalents, terminal and activity monitor ofc)
how to read and understand a privacy policy and what your personal data is, as well as what it being collected actually means and steps you can take to keep it private
how to understand terms of service (hey. if you have trouble with reading legalese and worry about being able to understand these policies anyways, here's a site that gives basic summaries of privacy policies and ToS)
what a cookie actually is
internet privacy and your digital footprint!! seriously i dont know why we stopped teaching people that they shouldnt be putting their entire real identity online in a world where your online actions can ruin you irl
basic safety measures like antivirus software (and why you should use it or if the built in one on windows or mac is enough for you) and backing up your computer (also a mac guide)
common keyboard shortcuts (and on mac)
as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on
vpns and adblockers! (btw for most of these where you can pay for things im purposefully not recommending any specific software but seriously just use ublock origin for an adblocker)
how to not get a virus while pirating something
what a temporary email is and when to use one
red flags that you shouldn't trust a website (and how to quickly check the security of a site)
what javascript on a website does and how to disable it to get around paywalls
ok one last addition! if you want to take it one level higher, i think learning the very basics of at least one programming language is good for people. it makes computers less scary and it makes you feel very cool, and a lot of people get discouraged about it because it seems overly complicated and hard to learn outside a formal classroom setting, so heres some resources for learning the very basics of python (because i consider it the easiest language to learn and knowing one language will make it easier to learn others)
an online compiler so you dont need to download anything or worry about running code directly on your computer if that makes you nervous
a basic video guide to introduce you to python and walk you through beginner steps
a guide to some syntax and commands you should know (this was literally my lifeline in my first CS class)
some performance tasks to give you things to code to practice and assess yourself
#things I need to know
My boss was like āDo you have any idea how much money weāre losingā like who cares, itās not like they would give it to me otherwise

people who are just finding out about internet tracking and data mining in the year 2025 and that your special robot friend does not respect your privacy lol
"I asked it but it said no so the mystery is still unsolved" how have you survived to adulthood?
COUNT THEIR FINGERS, BIND THEM TO YOUR CONSENT, DONT SIGN THEIR CONTRACTS AND DONT TELL THEM YOUR FUCKING NAME.
Why the FUCK do you think we've been reading all these Fairy Tales?
I laughed so fucking hard at this
Reblog if you're black tumblr.
You donāt have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and your for us.
BLM is still a thing. If you donāt reblog this, but wouldāve in June/July you were only in support of black lives when it was a trend. They still need justice
everyone deserves equality <3
Nobody's free til everyone 's free, kids.
I'm a pacifist like institutionally but I'm absolutely certain that violence solves at least some problems on a much smaller level. I don't believe in wars or nuclear weapons or military campaigns I do believe in the power of that guy who punched the nazi in the face so hard his entire media presence immediately crumbled to dust

Before: not reading an author's books because I'm mad at him.
Now: angrily reading an author 's books because he is my nemesis and I must learn his secrets to destroy him.
Been practising my BG skills lately! process pics under the cut
so jane austen was inspired by much ado when writing pride and prejudice and of course sheās brilliant and i love her version of the plot and her very original characters. i mean itās almost unrecognizable because itās so original. which is why i love her. she took inspiration from the bare bone plot of much ado with the two couples, and then rooted all their problems in her own time period. it would have been so modern and fresh to read it right when it was published!!
but anyway what iām trying to say is that i would love to live in a universe where i could see jane and bingley play pranks on lizzie and darcy in a hero and claudio type style. itās just comedy gold.
Sorry for the rant OP, but this is one of my FAVORITE lit crit topics:
I have written on here many times how much I LOVE that Pride and Prejudice is an adaptation of Much Ado in a kind of stretchy, fanfic-AU sort of way. Austen definitely used the same characters and their dynamics with one another, but she actively adapted the story by giving them all interesting, English Regency versions of their Renaissance Tuscany/London challenges.
My favorite thing is that you see similarities in a) the scandal of an affair with the heroineās unwed family member, and b) the willingness of the heroineās ābitter rivalā (Benedick/Darcy) to go far beyond whatās expected of him to save her familyās reputation, even when it might hurt his own
In her adaptation, Austen proposes that even if Beatrice/Elizabethās family member DID have an extramarital affair, Benedick/Darcy would still be morally obliged to help the family. This differs from Shakespeare, where Benedick believes that Hero is innocent. Sex scandals are therefore key elements in both plots, but Austen really pushes the original narrative to explore what the characters would do if the family member wasnāt innocent and the sex scandal was real. Would Benedick still have the same sense of duty to remedy the situation at great inconvenience/loss to himself? Would that duty be based in his love for Beatrice, or in his sense of ethics? Would Beatrice and Benedick have even fallen in love without their familyās interference?
So like, not only is P&P a wonderful (and very funny) adaptation of Much Ado, itās also a refreshing, explicit exploration of the themes and issues Shakespeare clearly wanted to introduce to his 16th century audience. P&P doesnāt get to the violent, verbal extremes of āeat his heart in a marketplaceā and ākill Claudio,ā but it does push the character of Benedick to much more agency and responsibility as a privileged person in relation to Beatriceās own (lack of) power. And to me, that makes it an exceptionally challenging and effective Regency adaptation of Much Ado.
(But ignore my meta-izing. Letās talk about whatās really important: Austen preserving the comedy GOLD of suggesting that Benedick/Darcy is painfully in love with Beatrice/Lizzy from the very beginning, and also fucking furious with himself about it)
Ding Dong!

Those who think that wisdom and whimsy are mutually exclusive have neither. It's vitally important to do the right thing when the consequences are dire, and to do a whole bunch of utterly frivolous silly dumb shit when it doesn't matter what you do.
Often, the wise thing must be disguised as silly frivolous dumb shit in order to actually work
Nobody's going to let you do anything if they think it's actually going to work.
Hah, that should have been the plot of season 3 of good omens.
