Marco disagreed with Ben Brooks the other day. Having read, can I now trust? Why are there no yardsticks for this sort of thing?

the internet is beaconless, rip, so inelegant
― lag∞n, Monday, 30 January 2012 15:05 (twelve years ago) link
I tried searcing Duckduckgo for beacons and yardsticks, and it found nothing.

I think my 2012 goal is going to be to spend a handful of hours every week trying to understand how others perceive me, so that I may not turn into these guys

Sweet found a message board this morning full of people hating on me. Two notes though: 1. I don't have braces. 2. A message board? Really?
