We have 238 of 634 people online in our Discord room right now. Study groups & such, & there are just as many who don't know who Kissinger was compared to those who do.
I should run a poll about private vs public schools & locations in the US and see what happens.
It would be interesting

Unexpected reorg at my job and now I'm in a new department. Anyhow when introductions were going around, I realized I was one of the only people who doesn't have a PhD. Nor did I even major in computer science. I'm the only one that's self taught in the room.
I guess I should be proud of that.

She was alone in the dark walking by a lake, listening to the snow crisply crunch beneath her boots.
She stopped to look up at the stars.
There were thousands, dancing in the night skies.
She decided then if she chose to #Sparkle a little every day, she’d never be lonely.

I’ve received your unsolicited DM and see you’ve been here mere hours and have already followed 150 women.
That’s predatory.
Perhaps I’ve judged you incorrectly.
Have you popped into my DM’s to discuss my recent post on castration?
