Neocities now has a confirmation dialog before you delete a post. Isn't open source software great? https://github.com/neocities/neocities/issues/517

It's like some kids in the 90s had a budget and some cool new digital filmmaking tech, and someone with a big cigar said "Go nuts, kid"

I was there. I was in the trenches. On 4chan. On digg, back when it was good. On reddit when it was for obscure weird coders. On utoob, pre-goog. We forged culture. Everything from rickrolls to habbo hotel, man. I was there. We were just kids, man. Just fuckin' kids.

As an Xer who's observed the galling arrogance and post-'70s calcification of Boomers lifelong, I'm hardly surprised to observe that many never once considered that people want to spend time with their families and reduce overhead by working from home, and resist change to accomodate them. This is a generation who nearly created an entire subgenre of comedy dedicated to their inability and refusal to program VCRs.

I just can't force myself to use JS for some reason XD, even if my site would MAJORLY benefit from it.
For what?
For what? That is up to you
JS has great applications, but nothing that I want or need that HTML and CSS can't effect.
