My lord, I have failed the vibe check

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

However, when I was growing up, whenever the player who was "It" tagged another player, the tagger would stop being It and the player who was tagged would become It instead. The game continued indefinitely, with all players engaged the whole time, and there was no "out."

The article also describes a variant sometimes known as "zombie tag," where anyone who gets tagged becomes It in addition to the other player(s) who were already It. In this way, "being It" would spread until everyone had been tagged.

When you were a kid, which of these variants did the game Tag refer to? (Or the equivalent name if you used another regional variant like "tig" or "chase.") This is not referring to other variants such as freeze tag, unless that's what you and your playmates called Tag.

If you get tagged, you're out

If you get tagged, you become It

Everyone who gets tagged becomes It for the rest of the game (zombie tag)

Our version of Tag worked differently than any of these

We did not play Tag when I was a child

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.
