- <h1>Why does someone think that I'm a <strong>*parent*</strong>!?</h1>
- <p>Day 00568: Sunday, 2016 September 25</p>
- </header>
- <p>
- Current countdowns:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>20 unfinished weblog entries in <a href="/en/weblog/2016/07-July/">July</a></li>
- <li>24 days until mobile service ends and I renew on a tablet plan</li>
- <li>22 days until my old domain registrar can no longer counter my charge dispute</li>
- </ul>
- <p>
- I received yet another email from <a href="http://get.mp./">dotMP</a> today, this time warning me that I only have seven days before my accidentally-registered <a href="/en/domains/ystyst.mp.xhtml"><code>//ystyst.mp.</code></a> domain expires.
- Once it expires, I might register a new domain elsewhere to use with a new job-related email address.
- The two names that I'm currently considering are both available.
- This time, I'll probably register under the <a href="/en/URI_research/usable_ccTLDs.xhtml#isla.pr"><code>//isla.pr.</code> <abbr title="Second Level Domain">SLD</abbr></a>.
- Registrations there are very inexpensive, though the "isla" part of the domain might look strange to people here in the States.
- The <code>//pr.</code> <abbr title="Top Level Domain">TLD</abbr> might be of use though, as it is composed of my legal name's initials.
- Directly registering under this <abbr title="Top Level Domain">TLD</abbr> is far too expensive though, which is why the third-level registration is more feasible.
- </p>

- I took the ungraded <span title="Online Education Strategies">UNIV 1001</span> quiz that I forgot to take yesterday, then took a look at this week's <span title="Globalization">POLS 1503</span> reading assignment.
- Unfortunately, it's hidden behind a login wall, so you can't take a look at it, but it's forty-nine pages long! This week's <a href="https://fod.infobase.com/p_ViewPlaylist.aspx?AssignmentID=FH2SLQ">assigned video</a> actually functioned though.
- I also completed the grading of all six of the peer essays I was assigned.
- I'll probably complete the reading assignment tomorrow, as I'll have the house to myself.

- Someone put me on a list of parents on twitter.
- Why do they think that I would ever have children, let alone that I currently do? I've given no such signals.
- I would pass this off as someone not paying attention to who they stuck in groups and ignore it, but groups such as these are public.
- I find the thought of being labeled as a parent to be mildly offensive, so I looked up a way to <a href="http://askaaronlee.com./how-to-remove-yourself-from-stupid-twitter-lists/">degroup</a> myself.
- As it turns out, it's not that hard, though the way to do it is a bit unintuitive.
- Strangely, Twitter doesn't offer a way to outright remove yourself from a group, but if you block the user that put you in said group, you'll automatically be removed from any group that they've put you in.
- The removal is permanent, so if you unblock them, you'll remain free of the group, though they will be able to put you back in.

- Tomorrow will be Vanessa's first day of school and our mother's first day of work.
- Vanessa's vanessa two or three weeks late in attending school though, so hopefully there won't be too much make up work.
- Now Vanessa can start making new friends again!
