This one hurt, her work had such a profound effect on my life, thoughts, and politics.
May her memory be a blessing
It's kinda funny that whoever shot that health insurance CEO really solved the trolley problem irl.
Meanwhile even though shooting Charlie Kirk didn't solve much directly, it was incredibly funny.

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
An expert guide to get started using torrentsTorrents are one of the most popular forms of file sharing on the internet, accounting for over
always use qbittorrent, do not use bitorrent or utorrent.
Rules of DIY:
if it's a skill, there's rules you can learn
if it's an art, rules are not your concern
make it fucked up or you won't make it
if it's already broken, you can't break it
anything can be fixed with gorilla glue
except for pleather, and also you
This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.
Oh I constantly forget to mention this but pro-tip for people who are having to do a lot of speaking in Spanish
If you make a mistake (and we all do), you can quickly correct yourself and then add the word digo after it
Literally, digo is the present tense yo form of decir "to say", so you essentially are saying "I say" but it comes out like "I should say" or "I mean"
As in... if make a small mistake you can just quickly correct it that way. Like if you accidentally say "una planeta" you can just say un planeta, digo as your correction
The digo is your way of being like "oops I made a mistake, I know it was a mistake and I misspoke here is the actual thing"
...
This is especially helpful for any oral exams, just because you get the opportunity to correct yourself, but in Spanish and sound very natural
Also wanted to add - querer decir is also used for this
Quite literally it's "to want to say", and usually understood as "to mean" as in "to intend (to say)"
This can also be a way to adjust what you're saying, at the end of sentences
You will also see it used in the beginning or the middle of sentences... like if you've said something already and want to clarify you can begin your sentence with quiero decir que... "I mean that..." or "my intention in saying that is..."
This is frequently used to mark the intention of your words
-
As a small aside because of the differences in English/Spanish - English will often use querer decir as "to mean"
Just be aware that there's also a different word for "to mean" that's significar for "to mean"
querer decir is "to mean" as in talking about the intention or clarifying what someone is saying or what a certain statement means
significar is "to mean" often in the sense of defining a word or expression or phrase
You can see them both used in 3rd person like eso quiere decir que "that means" and eso significa "that means" when talking about what the consequences of something will be or how to best explain a situation
But you will rarely if ever use significo when you mean quiero decir
Using significar in present tense would be like trying to define yourself, while quiero decir is a justification or explanation of the words you're using
...
It's just a case of the Spanish having two separate words for something English has just one word for
The Spanish just requires a specific context for significar sometimes
Studies show that engaging in ritualized behavior significantly improves outcomes on measures of grief and feelings of control, even when the person participating in the ritual has little or no belief in the ritual’s power. Just a reminder for no one in particular.
Research has revealed that, while rituals are universal across human cultures, the content and actions of those rituals vary widely even when they have the same intended purpose. This suggests that it is not the actions that matter, but that you are taking any action at all and naming it ritual. It can be an elaborate ritual with dozens of moving parts and participants, or it can be as simple as lighting a candle alone with the intent to remember someone.
The healing is in the doing.
OP did not link to a source, but the studies I have been able to find on this subject are consistent with the claims in the post:

Literal TEARS in my eyes rn
On the one hand, I find it kind of concerning and a worrying sign of an uptick in conspiracist thinking that so many people think the various assassination attempts were faked.
I don't believe that they are - it's just not weird to me that in a country that has more guns than people and with an extremely unpopular president who keeps doing evil shit, that there'd be a few one-in-several-million people who make and carry out some half-baked plans.
But it is kind of funny that so many people's response is "🙄 He's obviously just faking for attention"
#i am well aware that it SOUNDS silly but it's SO hard ro look at it all and NOT think it's a big ol con? #like; if it was really real wouldn't SOMEONE have been shot by now if not killed (besides the shooters) (tags via @aniseandspearmint )
I know the last few years have felt like an eternity, but a guy in the audience did die at the 2024 attempt in Butler, PA, and two other people were shot and seriously injured. That's very much a thing that did happen. There were articles about it at the time, even, because Trump was characteristically self-centered about it and didn't really acknowledge anyone but himself.
US presidents have a lot of security, and they keep getting stopped by security.
Doing political assassinations is actually pretty hard? Famously a BUNCH of shit went wrong with the plot to assassinate Franz Ferdinand that kicked off WW1, and they very nearly failed at it.
There was a guy who had a plan to assassinate Biden during the 2024 debate but he showed up at the wrong place, fucked around for a few hours, realized he had the wrong place and was too late, and went back to his hotel room - and then got arrested. It just wasn't as big of a news story.
A lot of people who try to commit assassinations or acts of terrorism are pretty bad at it, and most of them are not the most stable or hinged of individuals. People whose lives are going great don't GENERALLY decide to do something that will most likely get them murdered by law enforcement.
#I also feel like maybe people don't understand how difficult shooting a target actually is #people on TV and movies give a false impression of how hard it actually is to hit something that moves #a lot of would be assassins IRL don't have experience w guns #just because America has a reputation doesn't mean people can actually shoot #so the old 'but if it isn't a conspiracy why do they keep missing' thing is out (tags via @zetabrarian)
Yes. Thank you. Also trying to do that in a stressful situation where you have very limited time.
Let us remember that people tried to unsuccessfully assassinate Hitler at least twelve times AFTER the invasion of Poland (there were also people who tried to assassinate him prior). Each time something happened to either prevent him from being in the spot they planned to kill him or something else went wrong. It happens! It happens a lot!
I am far more willing to accept the idea of Trump bumbling around dodging bullets like Mr. Magoo than I am the idea of this administration successfully pulling off a conspiracy without a single person leaking it accidentally on a Signal chat with a journalist or something.
also, I think it’s important to note that we live in a wild world right now and it is doing Things to people. We have an autoclave with no pressure valve and the idiots in charge are just keeping that PSI creeping up. There is no real way to release the pressure and people are popcorning into violent acts. I believe this trend started with the United Healthcare CEO killing and continues into now.
To claim these are conspiracies, is to not see the obvious writing on the wall about how the world is getting much worse and how people react to horrible material and social conditions.
The violence will stop when the pressure release valves are restored to society. One excellent pressure release would be the impeachment and removal of Donald Trump from office.
"Steve left Bucky but Bucky would never have left Steve"
STEVE WOULDNT HAVE LEFT HIM EITHER THEY WERENT EVEN DOOMED BY THE NARRATIVE THEY WERE DOOMED BY MARVEL EXECS WHO COULDNT HANDLE PEOPLE CALLING CAPTAIN AMERICA GAY. DONT TRY TO ACT LIKE CIVIL WAR AND ENDGAME STEVE WERE THE SAME GUY WE WERE LIED TO.
idk what neurodivergent young adult needs to hear this but you are NOT supposed to give 100% at your job. I've gotten more promotions and raises since I started giving 40-60%, which my evil CEO uncle informed me is what bosses actually expect when they say 110%. My mental health has improved tremendously. I've spent 2 out of 5 workdays secretly writing my novel for the last 2 years and I've never been more respected and appreciated. Also--when you see glaring wasteful errors in the company's operating systems, say absolutely nothing! Embrace inefficiency. It is your friend in this capitalist hellscape.
ai could never outdo my beautiful perverted mutuals
this is because they write with their mind penis and have terrible childhoods and horrible luck, which seems to be the key factor in writing shakespeare level smut
and english is their 4th language
