    Ubuntu is a South African ethical ideology focusing on people’s allegiances and relations with each other. The word comes from the Zulu and Xhosa languages. Ubuntu is seen as a traditional African concept, is regarded as one of the founding principles of the new republic of South Africa and is connected to the idea of an African Renaissance.

    A rough translation of the principle of Ubuntu is “humanity towards others”. Another translation could be: “the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity”.

    “A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.”

    –Archbishop Desmond Tutu

    As a platform based on Free software, the Ubuntu operating system brings the spirit of ubuntu to the software world.





  • I know it’s anecdotal and perhaps can’t be blamed entirely on this medication, but I’ve been taking singulair since I was 12 and I dropped out of school at 17 with a 3.8+ gpa. I did three psych holds and two years of therapy and I didn’t feel better until a few years ago at age 26, which was when I was booted off my parent’s insurance and no longer able to get my prescription singulair.

    I did get a high school equivalent degree and an associates degree in my early 20s, but even then it was very difficult for me to hold a job with how often I would burn out and suffer extended depressive episodes. I’m doing better now, but it was definitely a major set back socially and career-wise.



  • It’s interesting how this scene was constructed. The blacksmiths and their table never appear outside except when guiding the one lost blacksmith back home. The old man is usually sleeping in the bar mumbling about his lost son (flute boy) until the pre-credits end sequence where they are reunited in the forest. The text boxes normally have a transparent background, but here it’s a darkened floor tile from Sahasrahla’s hut.

    I know you’re mostly joking, but that might have actually been my bad. I edited to add the spoiler tag minutes after I posted the link (mostly as a joke) even though this is probably one of the most well known plot points ever. It might have still done that if the link was inside a spoiler tag though.

    I didn’t consider the bot when I commented, but next time I’ll remember not to have the clickable link text be the spoiler. That way the bot doesn’t repeat it.
