my most toxic trait is i fucking love work gossip. i play neutral not to be the bigger person or take the high road but to hear slander and hearsay from every side. two coworkers complained about each other to me in the same afternoon and i nearly blacked out from the rush

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[villainessbian]

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

[fagcrisis]

Elysium has always been about the pre apocalypse. Also the post apocalypse but we never got to see We Are Vapor.

Its first trailer introduces itself with a '27 years before the end of the world,' the bombing of Revachol is an event set in stone in canon and we learn more about it in Sacred And Terrible Air. Ignoring that intent from the creators and arbitrarily blaming 'dumb westerners' for engaging with a core ethos of the work (that world will die, but it doesn’t give you an excuse to give up on it) (defeatist reactionary nihilism vs. hope) is simply disingenuous. Also disrespectful to other fans.

In Dark Times Should The Stars Also Go Out? is not some random happy thought. As the violence and pale consumes the world and closes around it, Vaasa eliminates light pollution.

Nothing seems to stop future projects with an ecological conscience there either. In the very last months, when the pale is creeping across the ocean towards Vaasa, the big dream of lobby groups against light pollution will come true. Industrial and commercial buildings turn off artificial lighting at the end of the working day, street lamps are shielded with special filters. As the first and last big city in the world in history, Vaasa completely loses light pollution. This is not only a measure against bomb raids, it also saves birds who might otherwise get lost in the city's maze of lights, and harbor seals whose mating rhythms get messed up from too long a day. You may laugh at this, but in the evening, when the big world behind swells into a bloody maelstrom, in Vaasa families come out into the street and are insignificant together. Only distant explosions disturb the deep peace of the winter night, its flawless starry sky. Everyone is watching, heads tilted back.

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

Being into Umineko and Higurashi will genuinely have you moving like a snake oil salesman going door to door to introduce people to the miracle vns that changed your life. Like yes boy spend 250+ hours reading vns about how friendship perserveres even in the most dire circumstances and how fiction can save us in our darkest moments. Read my vns about magic, the cycle of abuse and how you need love to understand the people around you. Believe in your friends. Believe that things can get better. See the people around you as they are, flaws and all. Strip that redhead and walk him like a dog. Let the teenage girls commit manslaughter. Flip that chessboard. Everyone read Higurashi and Umineko NOW!

[salthien]

it's generally important, i think, to focus your mental energy on things you love and to surround yourself with people who are of a similar mindset. spending too much time thinking about things you hate or that make you upset is a one way ticket to unhappiness.

that being said. there is something so incredibly satisfying about commiserating with other people who loathe the same popular media you do. truly nothing better than having someone who you can pull aside like "oh my fucking god this thing SUCKS" and they go "GOD I KNOW RIGHT" while the general public heaps praise upon it. a little island of relief in a sea of subzero media takes

I'm a survivor of the terror attacks who lived 4 blocks east of the World Trade Center. I lost my home that day, spent years homeless and destitute, and I carry a Zadroga Act diagnosis of 9/11-connected PTSD. If anyone who's doing this RP needs character coaching or if you need help with authentic scenarios, I'm available for consulting services at reasonable rates. DM me here or leave your number on the men's room wall at any leather bar and it'll get to me in 24 hours. Happy 9/11 y'all, and remember fireworks are unsafe and illegal in most jurisdictions.

I love Andy Weir's books but this man is dumb as a bucket of rocks. Dude you have your characters turn to the reader and explain what the social commentary of the book was. You know it's there because you include the sparknotes in the story itself. What the fuck are you talking about.

Keep thinking about this Austin Walker post that now lives in my brain. It's a reply to people saying genAI can help creators 'develop concepts' and waste less time on research (x)
