I need to stop replying to “how do you make friends in your 30s?” threads because all my answers boil down to “you have to want to know people instead of have friends” and I don’t think people wanna hear that
It’s like. People can tell if you don’t really like or connect with them. If you aren’t truly enamored with someone you will have a hard time coming up with activities to do together to deepen the friendship. Because you don’t really like that person that much.
what people fail to understand is that in the current political and social climate if we are truly going to support lesbians during pride month we need to be paying better attention to lesbian-specific issues. like the psychological and emotional distress caused by the PWHL expansion protocol.

This Wilderness Years won't be like the first Wilderness Years because no company is ever letting their IP fall into the hands of fans who want to use the brand to write weird experimental books where Doctor Who characters say fuck ever again. There was a casualness about brand tie-ins where they were largely unobserved and not seen as pieces in a corporate synergy plan like they are now. Whatever Doctor Who content we get in the interim will still be looked over tightly by the BBC and might be even *more* restricted in what they can feature lest they step on any future plans
1989 was a really loose time for licensing where the BBC straight up didn't care who read Doctor Who books and so they were allowed to do whatever. When Doctor Who started in 2005 it was still a fairly loose time for licensing & so the BBC only really cared about the books and the DWM comic moving on to feature the new Doctor but like. The way of things now is that they care too much about brand integrity. When they made the prequels it didn't stop the post-OT novels from being published, when Disney bought Star Wars they jettisoned all of that as "Legends". When Paramount started making Star Trek shows again they *literally* killed off the timeline of the novels. I can't see the BBC starting a new Doctor Who, presumably with a new commercial co-producer, and continuing to hold a "there's no canon so be yourself and have fun :)" attitude. HBO or whoever is gonna ask "why are there all these podcasts starring actors from the 80s? That doesn't further our brand's current synergistic narrative" The exact opposite of ye olde wilderness years
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
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.
btw, I never unfollow mutuals. oh? you moved on from the fandom we had in common? psh. we don't interact anymore? whatever. you completely forgot about me? irrelevant. I still love you.

It's actually a bit surprising to me that we haven't seen contemporary meta brainfuck indie games do more than they have with 1990s point and click adventure games' penchant for developer-intended softlocks. That feels like something you could very easily spin as Saying Something.
Honestly, having grown up with this bullshit is probably a big part of the reason I'm fascinated with player-hostile game design. Giving a puzzle three different solutions with fully voiced and animated reactions to each, except two of those solutions render the game unwinnable in ways that won't become apparent until hours later is a level of "fuck you" that most modern games with pretensions of player-hostility can only dream of!
I'm usually loathe to suggest TV Tropes as a resource, but given that only a person who's entirely unacquainted with the genre would be asking that question, a primer is probably warranted. Check out the Unwinnable By Design article and read the preamble for context on the types of softlocks we're discussing, then hit either the "Sierra" or "Infocom" links (yes, those two publishers each have their own dedicated sections!), pop open the "Cruel" tab, and get ready to read some stuff that makes you mad.
A critical piece of context that a lot of modern gamers completely miss is that Douglas Adams' adventure games are works of parody not only in terms of their narratives, but also in the sense that they're rather vicious parodies of adventure games as a genre. Each of their absurdly obtuse puzzles is lampooning some puzzle design trope or set of tropes that was legitimately commonplace at the time they were made, and many of the really nasty bits are crafted specifically to piss off experienced adventure game fans who otherwise wouldn't get caught out by that sort of thing. They're outliers in the genre only in the sense that they're putting forth extra effort to be annoying about it – most games of the type pull the exact same shit entirely without remark!
I often think about that post that was a fake dating profile for a cat that was all about chickens, like wanting someone with posable thumbs for opening chickens.
There's a post on here about the mermaid special on Animal Planet that was hijacked by someone going ohohohoho! Isn't this REALLY a splendiferous way of teaching critical thinking if you think about it! in that way reblog additions often go on this website
Okay it's this
There's a lot going on here but for one we're, I guess, educationcasting on this and pretending they were trying to teach us a lesson and not lying for money. Someone trying to teach us a lesson about critical thinking is not going to air their "this is fake" disclaimer on one fifth of the screen for two seconds during the credits, like this documentary did. They're going to do, well, this
But when you ignore that something is what it is and pretend it's something else so heckin' wholesome, then it's rather nice, isn't it?
I mean I guess it was an important lesson for children to learn, but it's a lesson Discovery was actively disinterested in, bc they tried to conceal any legally-mandated disclaimers as well as possible and not only insisted it was real but implicated real people and agencies in their made-up plots. We really don't have to give the scam mermaid documentary credit for lying to us and not telling us bc some kids figured it out. There are many ways to teach critical thinking without making up lies for money and not revealing it's a lie until dragged, kicking and screaming, into doing so
This a classic of the Inane Tumblr Post Reblog ecosystem: someone takes a post and grafts a narrative onto it. Sometimes that's negative (a interesting science fact that three posts later has some rant about how scientists won't listen to the people or whatever), sometimes it's just bizarre (like when someone posted a Medusa meme & three posts later someone made up that Medusa's face was used to mark women's shelters in Ancient Greece, a society that did not have women's shelters) and sometimes that's positive, like here, where we take a post of people saying "this is a thing that sucks" and someone goes "well, if you pretend it was doing something it didn't do, it would be good, wouldn't it?"
"We need a video essay that's just lies" Finally: lies and misinformation come to the online video essay!
I also love the point about NOAA. Let's read this article though
This piece originally appeared on Zócalo Public Square.
We start with someone saying that if NOAA is "hiding mermaids" they're hiding the truth about global warming too and it doesn't get much better from there. It turns out directing fake outrage at a real government agency is bad, and just results in people harassing the real employees at the government agency (but it's extremely funny though!)
"We should fuck with government agencies like this every so often" Do we have to fuck with NOAA though. Who should we make waste their time with angry phone calls about mermaids? The National Weather Service meteorologists gathering data about climate change? The oceanographers studying pollution and protecting endangered species? The people doing hurricane warnings? Is there a compelling reason to waste their time and harass them or are we just being directionlessly rebellious up in here. We've got to show those climate scientists who've dedicated their lives to trying to fight global warming in the face of a oft-hostile and denialist government leadership the what for, by wasting their time demanding to know why they're covering up mermaids. That'll show, uh, somebody

Went to the grocery store with my kindergartener. We weighed some bananas: 2 pounds even. We weighed a watermelon: 4 pounds even. We weighed some mangos: a little over 1 pound. We weighed the watermelon AND the bananas: 6 pounds even.
“That’s funny” said the child “because 2+4=6 and two pounds and four pounds is six pounds. It’s like the same as math!”
“What happens if you add 6+1?”
“SEVEN”
“What if we put one pound of mangos on the scale?” <mangos added>
“IT’S THE SAME!!”
“OK, what’s 7-4?”
“Three?”
“What if we take the four pound watermelon off the scale?” <watermelon removed>
“Mama! Are you telling me math works In Real Life? Think of all the things you could measure!!”
