all's well that's well for me!

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.

Everyone in this world is just living their lives, each with their own complex needs and desires and interests and emotions. They all have hobbies and friends and families and favorite foods. They all have their own motivations and varying political opinions and views on their governments. They all weigh the risks of standing out or speaking up and they all make their own decisions about that.

They all fear the same in times of danger. They all feel grief and pain and terror the same. They all love and hate and bleed the same.

stealing this out the tags bc This This This.

the thing is i don't think jason turning more into antagonist or even just more testy relationship with bats would be a bad thing. bc i could see it being an avenue for him getting more independence from bruce but esp just as a character. so much of jason's stories nowadays just feel like they revolve around if the bats like him or not that day.

but if winick were to write another jason story it would just be jason vs the bats where jason's sole purpose is to a problem and make bruce mad. and like. i love it when they make bruce mad. i love it when bruce is challenged. however i don't love it enough that i wouldn't mind if it came at the expense of jason's character. esp considering there are ways to make jason challenge bruce without making him rebooting back to his utrh characterization.
