Hey, he’s like, just this guy, you know?
Not in HTML. Never has worked that way.
Special reserved characters have always been handled this way because you don’t want to accidentally interpret something the wrong way.
Same for URL encoding. You upload “Clever Name.PDF” to a website and it generates a URL of “Clever%20Name.PDF” because spaces aren’t valid in URLs. %20 is the code for a space.
OP noted: “Don’t get me started on how this messes up linux commands and scripts”
If you’re running linux commands and scripts, you’re not a normal user and should know this already. :) It’s only been the standard for 30 years or so.
& is how & is represented in HTML.
If you need a literal &, then preceed it with an escape character like “\”.
It’s actually VERY well regarded. You just have never watched it.
No, I’ve just seen the movie probably a dozen times since it came out, it’s a joy each and every time.

Freedom of mobility is huge. Not worrying about how to get groceries home. Being able to go to a doctor when necessary.
Recreational aspects, took a drive through Washington State, up the Olympic Penninsula and down through Seattle and Everett.
For people who say “the Bible says” I ask them to use only the Bible to answer a simple question.
“Which came first? People or animals?”
We know from the geologic record that animals came first. This is backed up by Genesis 1:20-26. Man and woman were created at the same time.
So why does Genesis 2 get it so wrong?
Adam is created first (Genesis 2:7), then animals (Genesis 2:19), then Eve (Genesis 2:22).
The reason for this is that early editors of the Bible combined TWO creation myths together. Genesis 1 is the Elohist tradition, Genesis 2 (no 7 day creation) is the Yahwist tradition.
Of course, they don’t teach you that in Sunday school. ;)
The fascinating thing is that it very well be a real phenomenon that we don’t fully understand.
Don’t mistake me, it’s definitely NOT spirits of the dead or infernal beings from the underworld.
But what it very well COULD be are things like infrasound or magnetic fields having a field day with our senses, making us see, hear and feel things that aren’t there.
As with all of human history, things we don’t comprehend get attributed to “spirits” and as we learn more, the belief in those things dies off.
Good reading on infrasound and ghosts here:

On the electromagnetism side, check out “The God Helmet” which can induce feelings of religious fervor.

The big problem with this field of science is that “everybody knows” ghosts aren’t real, so why study it?
I would be in so much trouble… “Who wants dried shrimp treats!!!”
Yup, yup… regardless, poor puppers!
Poor thing! Did they give you any painkillers? Sounds like she’s having a tough time of it!
If this is a result of an injury, the stitches make it look like that, she may also be having anxiety of some kind. You might want to try a thundershirt.
Apparently dog CBD gummies are also a thing. I can’t personally vouch for them, gummies have zero effect on me. :(
Based in the shaving and the stitches, looks like an injury of some kind. Maybe she got bit?
Have you LOOKED at the recent shooters?

White male, early 20s, lives with mom and dad, writing manifestos… Why SHOULDN’T the authorities be looking at incels?
I’d be honest with her… "The gif is, objectively, cute, but it comes from an adults only game and it would attract unwanted attention from adults who enjoy that kind of game, so it’s inappropriate for someone your age to present it as an avatar.
This is why we can’t have nice things."

Text encoding is SUPER basic and anyone looking to get involved in Linux or scripting absolutely should know that stuff FIRST.
Source: I was teaching Linux 23 years ago before it was cool.
Here’s a good primer:
ASCII:

URL encoding:
https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.ASP
Entity encoding:

Really, ALL of the W3Schools stuff is just fantastic. Anyone remotely interested in this stuff should start at the beginning there and work up.
