This ep was sort of comforting in a way. It made me reflect on what my healthy and toxic selves would look like and whether some of my self confessed flaws might actually not as bad as I think.

Morty spoke to me especially, I’m always wishing I was more confident and more self assured and the like, but I need my insecurities to be me, ya feel? Like the whole ep made me feel less insecure about being insecure.

I dunno if it’s just me, but yeah.

[phoenix-gremlin-blog]

I can't help but think that my toxic self would be both extravagantly narcissistic and aggressively self-deprecating, loudly, at the same time. But yeah I agree with you, and I especially liked the point that Rick made about health being subjective in this context and Morty's example of losing those traits turning him from an insecure teenager into a fast-talking stock broker. I think it's also about not treating things about us as black and white - it's one thing to have a trait or insecurity that we don't like so we work on it until it's not so bad and overall is still a part of our personality, it's another to remove it entirely and become a whole other person.

by the way did I ever tell y’all about the time I got a blank message from nobody, sent on new year’s eve in 1969, when the internet didn’t exist?

because that happened

What the fuck

[sleek-black-wings]

Time travel.

[yokodere-deactivated20170518]

Or maybe its from 2069, when we’ve developed the technology to send data to the past. You sent yourself a blank message as a test but as the email address you used to send it doesnt exist yet, it came up as no sender

I… what?

OKAY KIDS, LET’S LEARN ABOUT THE UNIX EPOCH

So back in the early days of computers, when we were trying to build clocks to keep all our computers in sync, we tried a bunch of different ways to synchronize them in ways that both normal people could use and programmers could utilize.

We just tried saying “The current time is THIS date” and just storing that date as some text, but while that was easy for humans, it was a bunch of different numbers that worked together in funny ways and computers don’t play nice with a bunch of random, arbitrary rules.

Not much worked, until we realized that we needed a BASELINE to compare against, and a way to represent the current time that covers everybody. So we came up with Unix time, because Unix was the style at the time. Essentially, Unix time represents any given time by saying “How many seconds ago was 12:00 AM on January 1, 1970 in Iceland somewhere?”. Recent enough to keep the numbers relatively small, far enough that nothing computer-y would fall before it, and consistent enough that there’d be no discrepancy based on where you are.

So what happens when you see the date “December 31, 1969” on a buggy message like this is that the computer received a bunch of zeroes by mistake and went “Oh, this must be a message!” Then when it tried to interpret it, it got to the date, found a zero, and said “Zero seconds since the Unix Epoch? I’ll round down - this was sent at the last second of New Year’s Eve, 1969! They’ll be so happy to finally get their blank message.”

And then the computer traipsed off on its merry way, because computers are fucking ridiculous.

This is frankly more hilarious than the 1969 time traveler theory

Before you laugh and make fun of someones accent or mistakes when they speak english please take a moment to realize that you can actually learn alot about their language by their mistakes for example When I was I denmark I noticed alot of danes say “ I will learn you ” instead of saying I will teach you because teach and learn is the same thing in danish Also arabs when they speak english they often say “ beeebol ” instead of “ people ” or “ bebzi ” instead of “ Pepsi ” because the letter P doesn’t exist in the arabic alphabet Theres always something to learn when you stop being an ignorant piece of shit

En Anglais, on ne dit pas “quatre vingt dix neuf”, on dit “ninety nine” qu'on pourrait traduire comme “Hurr durr, regardez mois, j'ai un système de numérotation fonctionnel” et je crois que c'est magnifique.

I met someone last year who introduced himself with "my gender is best described as bogan" and I simultaneously love and hate that that gave me a fairly solid overview of who he was as a person
