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

[estro-boi]

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

PARENT: I got "rubber duck" for my child's "bath" and she loves it.

AUTISM RESPONSE: Rubber ducks and other rubber bath toys can accumulate mold on the inside because of small holes underneath where moisture becomes trapped. The mold often goes unnoticed because it's not visible from the outside.

CORRECT RESPONSE(?): That's nice, I am unaware of how mold could impact this situation.

i like when you can tell a screenwriter thinks that being good at computers is all about how fast you type. you need to out-computer your enemies with your superior wpm. whoever types the fastest is the most elite hacker in the cyberspace. its all up to you, johnny quickfingers. we're counting on you.

i do find the rules around clothes fascinating because of how made up it all is. we invented the idea of covering our bodies from the elements because we lack fur like other mammals and then made up all these rules around it and now people will unironically tell you "men cant wear skirts its unnatural" girl none of this is natural. we are born naked and made up the rest as we went along. hope this helps.

[what-even-is-thiss]

My brain for whatever reason just very easily bends around weird concepts. idk if it’s from reading surrealism so much or the adhd or being stuck on tumblr for too long or whatever but so often someone will be like “wow that is so weird how do they come up with that” and it’s just like pretty standard absurdist humor or something and I’m like idk they were probably just staring at a wall and wondered what would happen if you nailed a tomato to it don’t we all do that

(listening to a friend talk about their childhood) lol... talk about edgy writing. whats with all the pointless whump in this backstory? it didnt even serve a purpose to your character development lol. kind of mary sue energy.

ive been thinking about how some trans spaces and media lack representation of bottom surgery and itd be nice if we could talk about and depict it more. but my attempts to formulate this into a coherent thought lead me to standing in front of the microwave idly thinking "we should normalize men with penises" as if thats a brave new frontier nobody has ever considered.

So I have bitched about the insane meal break policy that got implemented by the company to try to protect them from having to pay us meal break penalties. Ie: we have to clock out and take lunch or waive our meal break so the company doesn’t have to pay a penalty.

But the thing is, we sometimes just don’t get the opportunity to take breaks. Customers keep coming in. There’s no way for us to step away if we’re helping anyone, let alone multiple people. So I’ve absolutely checked the box that says I didn’t voluntarily waive my break, I didn’t have the ability to clock out or eat.

During Memorial Day weekend I spent six hours helping between 2-4 customers at once. Just like everyone else on the team.

Today I learned that the district manager is unhappy with my manager because the team had too many penalties. He would “like to come up with a plan to address it” but that plan definitely isn’t more staffing, which would be ludicrous. And he can’t actually write her up over it because she can’t write us up over it because that would be fucking illegal. So I’m like what’s the fucking point of having that conversation if it’s just to discourage people from exercising their fucking rights???

I get steamed every time I remember it and I wish every day that we had a fucking union.

[spectre-squared]

I admit that i am very young and inexperienced, but can you not... create a union?

[foldingfittedsheets]

So. Yes. In a very very hypothetical sense. But almost every successful union starts because a highly charismatic friendly and well liked person does a ton of extra work to step up and start it. And that work is not paid. It’s like having another job on top of your job.

Add to that that in the US if you start talking about unions basically every major corporation will illegally retaliate. Your name goes on a list. Several good friends are in unions, are union reps, or work to help found unions and they are all extremely realistic about the likelihood of getting one off the ground which is that it’s so much work.

The general tenor of my company is not really aligned with unionizing and it would take the right person with the right motivation to launch.
