This is what gave me the impetus to post today:
There are many people smarter and better informed than me saying lots of important things about this elsewhere, so I won't bother, other than to say that Net Neutrality is important for every single person on my flist, and that should be obvious. Sign petitions. Stuff.
Other things I had to say:
1) People outside NZ and Australia: do you folks eat mousetraps? Basically, a piece of toast spread with Marmite or Vegemite, covered in cheese and grilled? Please say you do.
2) Had Logic test today. Will have scored either above eighty-five or below fifty-five; it was that kind of test, although I've been told that this is quite typical for logic classes. Not much to say about it, other than a minor complaint: he told us we'd only be tested on natural deduction, and not intuitionistic natural deduction. However at the bottom of each proof he asked us to comment whether or not the proof was accurate in IND as well as ND. Um. It wasn't really a big problem, except that one of the proofs I used Disjunctive Syllogism and I'm pretty sure but not certain that DS is actually an axiom of IND. The problem is that the ND proof of DS is not good when working in IND, so if I'm wrong about it being an axiom that could cause a problem. Oh well.
3) The Superman Returns trailer looks pretty good, particularly Lex.
4) It's come to my attention that a lot of people I know are graduating high school in the States and Canada over the next few weeks (month and a half? Yeah, I dunno, really.) Every year I mean to post and congratulate people I know who are graduating and every year I forget. But I remembered this year, and the crop's unusually large and unusually dear to me. I consider all of them to be bright, academic, intelligent students; but also these people are brave, brilliant, funny, kind, caring, conscientious, witty, gifted, enthusiastic, active, generous, giving, wonderful. I consider myself blessed to be close to some of them, and lucky to know all of them. Some of them are among my oldest friends by anyone's standards. You guys rock. <3 Good luck finishing off and for the future!
5) I love my family and my flatmates. Stay safe, guys, you're the best.
