  • Backstage (cast member jargon for “where guests aren’t allowed”) exists although they’d definitely fire someone for posting something like this online. I used to hang out with one of the Goofy actors at the smokers table when I worked at Disney. I think most of the pics are not Disney, but one of them looks like backstage of one of the parks - the one with the car in the background.

    Edit: OP might actually be legit too.


  • In the 00s there were these special walkie-talkies that would set up an independent mesh network to communicate without cell service or internet connectivity. That was more peer to peer than federation, I guess, but it’s a pretty cool invention that was only used to send messages between Barbie coloured pieces of plastic.

    Meshtastic is trying to do something similar right now, I’m not sure how much Barbie colored plastic is involved though. I wonder what kind of tech those were using, I’ve never heard of it before and Google isn’t being helpful.

    … Wait, are you taking about Cybiko? I wanted one of those when I was a kid even though I didn’t know anyone who had one and didn’t live somewhere with the density to really use the tech.















  • Maybe you’re willing to, but we can’t even get a majority of Americans to vote once every four years.

    (I’ve served in student government a few times, and while not directly applicable it was still eye opening - a lot of stuff will not affect you personally but you need to give a shit as an “elected” official because everything effects someone. I put elected in quotes because the first time I got talked into it and the second time happened because nobody else was willing - it’s deeply boring work most of the time.)
