why are all these modern aus for the Odyssey set in a high school. where's the retelling where Odysseus is just a guy lost in an airport who keeps missing his connecting flights home due to a comical series of delays and disgruntled airline employees

I’d see this.

i really fucking hate IT Security Guys like, as a labor class. they are usually some of the most belligerent and out-of-touch members of the computer-toucher taxon, and the most divorced from actual use cases. this is how we keep getting shit like hospital staff password cycling that results in nursing stations having video game-style postit note passwords all over them. 'well changing your password every two weeks is shown to be most effective at preventing hacks" thats great man did you do any research on this outside of your actuarial model. because Kathy down at the NICU cant fucking remember "b5h1Jh1HH#15" has been changed to "6h3%!1mn" on station 4, shes on 2 hours of sleep and has long covid

last computer security guy i talked to interrupted me in the middle of having a friendly conversation with him where i said i stole all the software i wanted and admonished me about malware?? and i said bro who the fuck do you think youre talking to. i have been pirating shit since i was, literally, 12 years old. and i have gotten zero viruses, ever. and he smugly retorted 'how would you know?' and i said because i scan my shit and watch my ports and pay attention? and then he went on this long lecture about how actually, most real malware cant be scanned for, blah blah, which is 1. categorically false unless youre talking about idk, advanced state department shit and 2. he was baffled when i explained to him that unless i could actually feel a difference in my own GPU/CPU power or bandwidth, or unless my files were being ransomed, i literally did not give a shit. if some hacker has managed to install secret malware that is undetectably cryptofarming my computer in a way that is undetectable to me through power consumption, wear n tear, process wastage etc, then why the fuck would i care. 'what if youre part of a DDoS attack" is it making youtube load slow? is my ping going up in Barotrauma? are my files being ransomed? no? then it has no material impact on me whatsoever. i dont have a principled stance against hacking, only a material interest in making sure my computer runs.

bluh bluh 2fa is more secure WHEN I AM LOCKED OUT OF MY ACCOUNTS BY 2FA, THAT SCENARIO HAS IDENTICAL MATERIAL CONSEQUENCES TO LOSING ACCESS TO MY ACCOUNTS THROUGH OTHER MEANS. KILL YOURSELF

tumblr is the website for if you're just someone's weird sister

Victor Frankenstein after achieving the impossible and building a fucking person from scraps of the dead: Oh god, ew, ew it's ugly! Yucky! Yucky! Gross! Ew! Ew! Yucky! Yucky! Gross! Ew!

“covered in blood” is an ideal state for a girl to be in if you see a girl covered in blood you know she is having a good time

explained to an 8 year old that once a fruit is ripe you only have so much time until it rots so you have to eat it soon and she said so i'll never be able to keep it perfect like this forever? no and there are about a million pieces of art for you unrelatedly

the thing that blows my mind is blood transfusions. for literally all of human history up until about 100 years ago if you lost enough blood that was it, you were dead, and then people just figured out how to take blood from other people and successfully give it to you and now you can come in to the hospital with a blood pressure of ohfuck/nope, the same color as the linens and they just pop a tube in your arm and casually give you some stuff that another person donated on their lunch break, and you live long enough for the doctors to find and treat your gastric bleed. Insanely cool.

have you guys ever seen a crocodile with its fingies out
