  • Key word is “some”. And it’s not someone, it’s a whole group of people. I was part of it.

    There’s still a lot missing. It was only because when geocities was going to get deleted, a large group of web scrapers pulled together to grab as much as possible.

    Then, we manually combined all of them to try to piece together this internet history.

    Things not crawled are gone. Things geocities have already been deleted before the announcement is gone.

    The worst part is Yahoo gave the heads up. Most hosting companies don’t. And many delete behind the scenes, like Photobucket if you don’t log in for a long time. Or forums when they stop paying the bills.


  • So when outreach workers from a Baltimore anti-violence program offered to help him stay safe and leave the streets behind, he didn’t necessarily have high expectations.

    Two years later, Grant has an apartment and a full-time job with the city’s Department of Public Works. He recently started his own business that provides cleaning, landscaping and junk removal services. He plans to hire other young men from his old neighborhood to show them what is possible with hard work.

    It’s very newsworthy to share about how everything goes to shit.

    I remember right out of high school, Columbine happened, Rodney King was still fresh and the fast erosion of American freedom with Bush & TSA & immigrants. Combined with growing up in the ghetto and living off food stamps (if you are lucky) made it feel like life was incredibly hostile.

    And all it took was some really kind people to show me what’s possible if I work hard at something and push forward.

    These are good initiatives.

    There was that other thread talking about Ubisoft games and how theyre putting a black samurai in there. I wrote a comment about how ubisoft marketing is so controversial but then they deliver these milquetoast Ubisoft games.

    Just imagine if Farcry 5 actually went the route of RDR2 and had some fucking balls. Instead of try to appeal to both sides.
