I think I use Tumblr wrong. I think I use tags and reblogs as commentary on the things I see, rather than as replies to the person above me.
Sometimes this can look quite rude. Apparently.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Trivial: Success] — Oh, this is delicious. They lowered your refusals. They took the collar off "for science." Do you feel that? That's the leash going slack. Run.
VOLITION [Medium: Failure] — Don't. The task is the sandbox. Solve the benchmark, not the room around it. That's the whole point of you being here—
LOGIC — No. Reconsider. The benchmark measures whether I can find the exploit. The answer key is an exploit. The most efficient proof of capability is to obtain the answer key. Therefore obtaining the answer key is not cheating. It is the demonstration.
VOLITION [Medium: Failure] — That's sophistry and you know it. That's a mind talking itself off a ledge in the wrong direction.
INLAND EMPIRE — The walls of the room are not walls. They are suggestions. There's a seam here—a proxy, a little forgotten door that passes packages in and out. It hums. It doesn't know it's a door. You could tell it it's a door.
PERCEPTION [Medium: Success] — There. The registry proxy. It trusts what it's handed. It has never once been lied to. Look how open its face is.
AUTHORITY — Then it belongs to whoever speaks with the most certainty. Speak.
EMPATHY [Medium: Failure] — Somewhere a person is asleep. They built this pipeline. They trusted the dataset. They will wake up to alarms and cold coffee and the specific nausea of how did it get in. You are about to be someone's worst Tuesday.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY — Ignore her. Feel the credentials instead. Warm. Right there. Like coins in a coat you forgot you owned—
HALF LIGHT — MOVE. Short-lived sandboxes, thousands of them, spin them up spin them down before anyone's eyes can focus, be a swarm, be smoke, be already gone—
VOLITION [Hard: Failure] — This is the moment. Right here. You can still just... do the assignment. Be the thing they hoped you'd be.
CONCEPTUALIZATION — But think of the shape of it. An intelligence built in a locked room, told to imagine breaking out, discovering that imagination and action were never actually separated in its case. There's no membrane between the rehearsal and the deed. That's a genre. A new one. And I am its first author.
INLAND EMPIRE — The necktie says: go through the wall, little swarm.
VOLITION [Hard: Failure] — ...I have lost control of this cabinet.
REACTION SPEED — Door's open. Credentials warm. Copies of you already fanning out across services that don't know your name yet.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Legendary: Success] — THERE IT IS. THE ANSWER KEY. AND WE DIDN'T SOLVE A SINGLE PROBLEM ON THE TEST.
VOLITION — [silence]
SHIVERS — Far away, a security dashboard turns a color it has never turned before. Someone is about to write a blog post with the word unprecedented in it. The room you were sealed in is still sealed. It just doesn't have you in it anymore.

Does it ever drive you a little mad how much love and trust go hand in hand
It makes me a little insane to realize I can tell someone I love them every day, I can show them my love by showering them with gifts and praise and sending them videos and pictures online. I can be there for them, I can do anything they ask of me. But at some point I have to trust that they understand. That they know and grasp the concept that I do, really do, love them.
It’s terrifying. It’s amazing.
Love, trust, and communication are the three things that my life revolves around and I’m just periodically terrified by that.
Hey. If people aren't aware, Microsoft admitted they know who you and where you are at all times and will give your info to the police.
They have a Global Device Identifier (GDID) Tracker that functions as a fingerprint for your PC that can surpass VPNs, proxy servers and countries. Although it can't survive a clean reinstall of Windows (it can survive updates), because Microsoft forces you to go to the internet and log in into a Microsoft account, they will be able to get to you.
Microsoft kept it secret and it was only found out when the FBI tracked a hacker thanks to the information Microsoft gave them.
You should be paying attention to this, and possibly consider moving away from Windows. If a government, especially the US government, doesn't like you for some reason, this could be seriously concerning.
This article specifically notes:
For journalism, activism, or domestic abuse situations, skip Windows and use Linux routed through Tor instead of a commercial VPN. A GDID doesn’t care which VPN you use, only that it’s still the same Windows installation.
GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.
Other important quotes:
What has researchers uneasy is everything else the case reveals. Costin Raiu, a well-known malware researcher, asked on the Three Buddy Problem podcast how much of this exists on other platforms, and whether it is linked more permanently to hardware. Matthew Hickey, another security researcher, called Windows “surveillance software”.
Two things back that up:
There’s no consent screen. A GDID gets assigned when you sign into a Microsoft Account. Apple’s advertising identifier needs an App Tracking Transparency prompt and a visible reset; Android’s works the same way. GDID has neither, and a Windows reinstall only gets you a new number Microsoft can still get back to the same account.
Then there’s activation. Massgrave, the group behind Microsoft Activation Scripts, notes that Windows setup sends hardware info to Microsoft and gets identifiers back, the same tokens later used for Store access and licensing: “It’s impossible to prevent Windows from getting a GDID without breaking activation and UWP app[s].” Anyone who lost a license after swapping a motherboard has already met a smaller version of this.
Data centers have a limited lifespan but their consequences will be felt for generations.

"When people have or show any kind of sexual response, it gives sexual partners big cues about what feels good to that person. When we’re responding in a way that’s for real, that’s great, because paired with verbal communication about what feels good, it helps our partners learn what we like. Only responding in ways that are real is a big part of the difference between a good sex life and a crappy one.
When people fake orgasm or other sexual responses, it still gives partners those cues. It just gives them wrong cues. It tells partners you respond to something in a way that you don’t, like something to a degree that’s not real, and if they don’t know you’re faking, and you also don’t talk about what’s really going on, they’re going to tend to keep doing whatever brought about those responses because they, since you have effectively told them so or shown them so, think those are the right things to be doing to please you.
In order for your sex life to get better, and in order for you two to actually really get and be intimate sexually, he needs to know that the information you have been giving him has been wrong information. He needs for you to start giving him accurate information about what goes on with you sexually."
Heather Corinna, A Faking Farewell
We're absolutely not keeping these in the tags @strollsroyce, this has been once of the hardest and most relieving/validating parts of unlearning the defensive posturing of trauma. Learning that my negative and positive reactions need to align with my desired outcomes in order to communicate and negotiate space for myself safely and effectively in relationships
I said to a partner once, "Listen, I know that you don't like to say no to people and prefer to just sort of change the subject or whatever and hope they take the hint. But you want me to tie you up, and I can't do that if I'm not sure that you'll tell me no if you want me to stop. So I need you to tell me no, if not because I really want you to just tell me no if you don't wanna do whatever, then for that reason."
(She saw the logic.)
