#fingers crossed I can get off norethindrone because it's making me more depresssssed

many women are excited to get old and weird, but i have great news that it's fully possible to become weird now, before you get old. just imagine the heights of weirdness you will be able to reach in fifty years if you get started now. that's what I think

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

the reason why every few years there are thought pieces on the panic of dropping male graduates and dropping male grades and dropping male attendance in colleges is bc universities know it drops the value of their product

yep, because in our male-centric world, any time women get into something, it becomes socially devalued, because apparently if women are doing it it must not be very hard/important. ref. biology, ref. nursing, ref. school teachers, ref. social sciences, ref. programming

it's "women's work". but it's the foundation of society, everything would stop dead in its tracks without us

yep, if you can’t be a high paying engineer w/o an engineering degree, but suddenly the engineering field is majority of women, the engineering industry becomes devalued (been shown before that pay drops across an industry if it switches from male dominated to female dominated), then suddenly an engineering degree isn’t so illustrious. Or whatever degree…medical, law, etc.
