Malgha: *Was already looking at Nameless as of ‘ruin’*

Imagine your friend. Let it come to you. 

Imagine what is inside your friend. Give it mass.

Consider its personality. 

The more energy and focus you put into creating your friend, the more independent and powerful it becomes.

Keep talking to your friend and imagine it being in the same room as you. It will eventually manifest. 

If your imaginary friend appears in the form of a young child who stares into your eyes without talking or blinking, lock it up immediately. This imaginary friend is not yours, and you do not want to deal with it. 

If your imaginary friend has not manifested yet, never hug or shake hands in public. You will look stupid.

Others can see, touch, and interact with your friend.

It has its own free will.

Make sure it looks 100% human. 

Keep anything less than human in the basement. The organization might take it and you away.

You can do all sorts of activities with your friend, but never let it be in charge.

Do not let it harm you.

It only dies when you die.

In case you have to lock your friend up in the basement, make sure it does not attract the attention of visitors.

Consider getting a cat or dog. 

Talking dogs or cats are a big no-no.

Really think about what you are getting yourself into.

Have its knowledge match its age.

Treason is unlikely.

Remember, your soul is in it. Your soul will be judged. Take full responsibility.

Day12 “Starchild”

There’s a specific pattern of events that plays out over and over (and over) again, and it looks something like this:

1. Social media platform becomes popular

2. Social media platform is purchased by big media corporation in order to gain access to it large user base

3. Big media corporation realises that social media platform’s demographics are not the demographics they want to sell things to.

4. Big media corporation institutes measures to drive away “undesirable” users, apparently in the honest belief that the outgoing users will automatically be replaced by an equal number of new, more demographically desirable users

5. This does not, in fact, occur

6. Social media platform crashes and burns

They look at the numbers, like Tumblr’s where only 1% of the users make 99% of the explicit content, if I remember a recent study right. So, why don’t we lose that 1% and live happily ever after? - an exec says.

Because! The networks on social media are decentralized, and the 1% are the key nodes:

Those local nodes are load-bearing, like the cornerstones of a building. Remove them, and the network falls apart and dies.
