i have a hard time clarifying it for people but geralt loves yen, he loves her so massively, in this truly moving and rich and selfless way, he would die for her, he would kill for her, in the end he will even /leave/ her for good if she tells him they cannot be together BUT there is also a huge toxicity and selfishness to geralt and the way that he occupies his own body and mind, the way that he has made himself in order to cope with what he feels and how he perceives his existence, his isolation and total lack of self-worth, he is a drain, a huge drain, it’s draining to be with him, even as much as he gives you and as much as he loves you, even though he would sacrifices everything for you without a thought, he’s an incredibly taxing person to love, and yen is one of the very few people who understands that geralt saying ‘i would die for you’ is really sort of a red herring, a false flag, it’s him just adhering to his own rock-bottom way of viewing himself, because he views his death as the finest currency he has to offer, the only good thing he has to offer you really, death and violence, and as long as he lives and loves the way that he does he ISN’T WRONG

Ten recent low-tech inventions that have changed the world

Technologies don’t have to be cutting edge to make a profound difference in people’s lives.

DC-power microgrid Solar cells can provide cheap, decentralized electricity. But if you’re plugging them into conventional devices on a normal household grid, there’s a lot of overhead involved in converting the direct current they produce into alternating current and back again. A well-designed small DC network can save a substantial amount of energy by eliminating this need. 

Better woodstoves Deforestation is a major problem in much of the developing world, as is the harm to human health that comes from breathing in the particulate matter in smoke from woodstoves. Better-designed stoves like the Berkeley-Darfur stove use only half as much fuel to cook a comparable amount of food, and they cut the particulate emissions in half as well. 

Simple, effective water filters Hundreds of millions of people around the world lack access to safe water. Simple, cheap water filters use ash combined with silver nanoparticles to filter out impurities and pathogens; they have improved the lives of hundreds of thousands. 

Hippo roller Hundreds of millions of people, usually women, have to walk every day to get enough water for their basic needs and transport it home in buckets. The Hippo roller is a heavy-duty plastic barrel that can be flipped on its side and rolled home, via an attached handle, over rough terrain.
