"if i had a time machine i would go back in time and kill hitler"
I would put sea mines around medieval britain. i would give hannibal barca ww2 era heavy artillery and tell him not to stop till he starts seeing gauls. i would give boudica a fucking abrams. i would appear before jesus like an angel and tell him "you gotta stop. not cause theyll kill you, youre fine with that, surprisingly, but because your fanclub is gonna spend about 1500 years making everything worse for everyone, everywhere." I would take a glock back in time and shoot romulus, shoot remus, and shoot that damn dog too just to be safe. i would be on the side of christopher columbus' ship in a scuba suit planting c4 on that bitch like rainbow six siege. i would be waging a one woman campaign of terror across andalusia to prevent the reconquista. i would be getting way out in front of that shit is what im saying,
I do think the ability to emoji-react is a net win for human communication. not only does it give you an outlet for 'I see and acknowledge this but don't have a verbal response' but it also adds a pleasing alethiometer element to things
my coworker announces that he's off to the dentist. someone reacts with a tooth emoji. is this a statement of dentist solidarity? a wish for my coworker to return with more (or fewer?) teeth than he set out with? simple word association? who can say

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason
torrents work like this
i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3
unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it
i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map
i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs
this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.
crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.
please learn to torrent

always use qbittorrent, do not use bitorrent or utorrent.
I Defeated the Demon Lord but it Turns Out the Demon Army was Largely Unaffected and I Fell Victim to a Flawed Belief in Great Man Theory
I Executed The Demon Lord With One Flawless Strike And After A Brief Power Struggle The New Demon Government Is Substantially More Committed To The War Because Of Some Reason I Don't Know
I Successfully Overthrew The Demon Lord And Instituted Demon Democracy But They Voted For A Commie So The CIA Not Some Fantasy Equivalent The Actual CIA Who Have Known About Magic And Alternate Realms The Whole Damn Time But Won't Just Unisekai Me Launched A Counter Coup And That's When Things Really Went To Shit
Louis' perspective of sex workers in season one being these downtrodden, pitiable women that he magnanimously saves by taking them under his wing because he'll at least exploit them in a way that's more benevolent than some other random schmuck on the street colliding with his willingness to use Regina's sex work in tandem with her criminal background as an excuse to exert the same paternalistic behavior onto her under the guise of trying to help, but ending up exploiting her all the same.
It's important to talking about grief, but I want to talk about Louis' painfully obvious guilt. He says he looked her up online, but why was he googling her to begin with? Why was he asking her about her financial situation and the place where she lived? Louis wants an excuse to feel the way he does towards Regina because he knows Regina's not Claudia. He knows he has no reason to be behaving the way he has been towards her, so he looks for one.
In doing so, he creates a charity case. He wants to live in a fantasy where he was able to actually save Claudia instead of damn her; he seeks to restore someone's innocence instead of being the reason it was taken away. He sees a whore and decides it's his duty to make a Madonna, and maybe then he'll right all of his wrongs just like how saving one girl from dying in a burning building will save him from numerous deaths he caused prior to meeting her. Most importantly, he wishes to exist in a world where he knows for sure that Claudia loves, forgave, and wishes to depend on him for everything.
And you know, it's not like he's really doing anything to her, right? Louis' not even attracted to women. He's gay, gay, gay and also 'spoken for' (by his not-a-companion-but-a-great-lay), so it's not weird. It's not that predatory, right? Because it's not a sex thing, and it's not romantic either even when Daniel makes a joke about their first meeting being a meet-cute and Regina even admitted she was surprised at the fact that Louis was gay probably because he keeps staring at her in a very specific, longing way. That's just a silly misunderstanding, though. He's not a weirdo like the men online paying to see her naked body (you can't see OnlyFan profiles unless you subscribe to them). He's just leaning on this lamp-post, guys. He just wants to help Regina with her money, guys. He just wants to help a sister out.
...While I understand possibly being frustrated at another black woman character being written into something that resembles a delinquent archetype, Regina having that element to her character is what makes it possible for Louis to not only exploit her, but justify it to himself as he does so, a justification that the show very clearly wants you to take with a grain of salt.
As for them making her a sex worker, I mean we can dance around the subject all we want to, but it doesn't change the fact that Louis is essentially paying half a million dollars to a young woman who is systematically disenfranchised to take her out to dinner, put on a childish vocal affectation, and call him Daddy Lou. You might as well just make the subtext explicit at that point.
this fucking show
I actually love the Louis and Regina subplot because it really is a continuation of the way Louis has always treated women, as a source of emotional labour that he can throw money at and have them make him feel better. It’s Miss Lily all over again, it’s “paying a whore to sit in a room and talk with him”. Making Claudia was always about Louis’ feelings under the pretence of saving her from the fire. He wants to save Regina from poverty but it’s all to make himself feel better. She sees through him but she’s so broke that she can’t afford to say no
I'm gonna post this now for no reason at all :)
when i was 13 i made up a group of ocs who were gifted the ability to teleport but with caveats that made it really irritating for them and everyone else. i can’t remember all of them but two. one of them could only pass from place to place through water. they could jump into something as small as a cup of tea and come out the other side through a puddle or something but notably they did get wet. so any time they teleported anywhere they arrived soaking wet. they had to go everywhere with a waterproof paddling bag as a purse. the other could only teleport between occupied bathrooms. any bathroom in the world was fine but it had to be in use. they could just ask a friend to go in first and cheat it that way but in an emergency they’d just have to barge in on someone with their eyes closed and yell “SORRY! SORRY!” and disappear immediately from existence.
Every vampire is all "oh drinking blood is better than any food, drugs, even sex" but I don't even believe them because all of them were literally made before the invention of really good drugs and before we got all the nice foods from the new world, so I don't trust any of their opinions. Lestat has never ate a potato and Armand hasn't ever even tasted tomaotes. The only guy I trust is Daniel Molloy who has probably tried every drug on earth, has definitely ate nice food and would be a valid judge on how good drinking blood really is.
every day i am thankful to ancient humans for the domestication of the cat. fucking genius idea. agriculture was a good one too btw but you really outdid yourselves with the cat thing
