We got got it. Okay, come on come on.

[Running sounds]

There we are. Okay, from here you see this looks like normal discourse but if we turn it over-

[Unsettling organic cracking noise]

we can see the parasitizing mouth - note these powerful gripping mandibles, and further in the inward facing teeth. Along with this nasty guy.

[Peeling sound]

The burrowing feeder tube. This is the attention seeking parasite. It mimics the mating signals and appearance of a healthy discourse, then latches on and burrows in, leeching off the discourse as long as it can before laying its eggs, which will subsist on minor disagreements about granual and often semantic matters, until eventually the discourse fractures into a massive community rift and dies, leaving a once healthy region populated with dozens more attention seeking parasitic organisms. This one still has a whole clutch of eggs, which can remain fertile for decades, maybe longer, waiting for the opportinity to prey on any healthy discourse for years to come.

Sadly, even should these mighty discourses return, they remain vulnerable to the attention seeking parasite. For now, we simply try our best to inoculate our small, domesticated conversations and continue our work to cull the invasive population.

[Whump of fire igniting]

He goes down, ends up in a coma or brain dead, on life support, genuinely never coming back and even if part of him did he would be in agony from his cpr injuries. The best thing is to let him go.

But its not convenient to. His own *wife* runs away to China so they can't *make* her do the right thing and allow him to pass. She doesn't love him enough to override the political posturing. His own family is letting his abused half alive carcass get played with like a political doll while he's trapped in purgatory, as close to undead as one can be.

So I'm weeding our ancient and terrible collection of children's books for the first time in possibly ever, and I'm making a decision about a book about migrant workers by Sandra Weiner, called Small Hands, Big Hands. And I'm not 100% sure and I go to just see if there's anything out there about this book's being notable in any way so I do an open web search for

"small hands big hands weiner"

And then I look at my results for a moment

In mathematics, you often consider the two-dimensional plane - you know, the idealised flat two-dimensional object that extends infinitely - which can be real or complex (doesn't matter what that means)

On this, you can perform a mathematical operation called a "blow-up" (resulting in a more complicated geometry)

I needed to look up a formula related to this, so I confidently typed into the search bar:

"Blow up real plane"

I like strawberry ice cream!
