why is google docs correcting my fucking DNA sequence

Rule #1 stick to the fucking bit

Luckily I am doing a second, smaller bit underneath.

male characters are at their most relatable when they have a weakness for insane women

when a man in a work of fiction looks at a woman with heart eyes as she carries out atrocities. when he looks a little scared a little horny. when he aids and abets. when he enables her in her killing and maiming and execution of violent revenge or whatever. i get very barbie as the princess and the pauper i'm a girl like you.mp3 about it

hell yeah brother

Hey, Tigerlily Jones never killed anyone on-screen!

And the only death we see Dave enable is his OWN.

there's not going to be an american communist revolution but if there were it would involve a lot of gross distasteful stuff because it's impossible for there to be a pleasant revolution. revolution is a war. there's no good war

if people think there is a way of eliminating the massive attack vector of "three letter agencies that infiltrate activist and revolutionary action groups" that can't be called something that rhymes with "becret bolice" i'm legitimately very interested to hear your thoughts

Extremely overt police

Just Sorta Killing Everyone I Guess

trans women in leggings. you agree reblog

Unfortunately I cannot agree with this because every time I've tried leggings I have within ten minutes become HYPERaware of every single minuscule shift in the fabric on my upper thighs and it is. no. bad. stop. (It does not stop.)

its weird that ye olde rich people who spent a bunch of resources on building giant tombs sort of...won? like i mean, it didnt help them in death or anything, but it did get them remembered. so like. ozymandias was right?

i wonder how much it costs to build giant monuments that last thousands of years these days

I am no less anti Jeff Bezos because of my opinion here (and it helps that he seems to have shifted his attention away from this to other things), but the Clock Of The Long Now is, like, still an EXTREMELY cool idea that I hope gets successfully built.

the thing twitter has over tumblr is the ability to have handles next to your url which is especially good in the case of environmental storytelling, for example the person that tweeted something like "every time a gay person [does something nonserious] I go to chick fil a" as an obvious joke and their handle in the screenshot was "[name] the GAY IM GAY" you really cant get that level of storytelling here

This is the one

Wait we do get a similar level of storytelling. You absolutely see people editing their ask box text in this same way.

It's not the SAME, sure -- Twitter is a shorter-form and less personally-involved platform. It makes sense that you have to actually click through and go up to the ask box on a Tumblr blog, walking at least the first couple of steps towards sending anon hate to them. The Tumblr version, you have to reach your hands up to OP's throat before you can see the fear in their eyes.

did they ever fix this thing over at twitter? world cup is in a week... like, should i override bandwidth limits in order to make sure hydrus finishes backing everything up in time at the expense of maybe being banned? (x)

#philomena cunk energy ( @loki-zen )

I would absolutely DIE if someone started running an "@‌antifa_philomena_cunk" account somewhere.

I hope someone discovers a way to interact strongly with neutrinos. Just because a ~50 W/m^2 solar panel that works at night and underground would be funny.

solar panel installed upside down, still works perfectly

alastair reynolds wrote that novel Revenger about space pirates with solar sails. But we want pirates to have black sails right? Solar sails are reflective

so he made up “catchcloth”, a black material which absorbs (or reflects?) neutrinos. Extremely rare, so a pirate ship with black sails sounds like a myth in-world, but really they have a huge cache of catchcloth, presumably some treasure they stumbled across from the dead civilization that made this stuff

Space Pirates!

@algorizmi you’re gonna love this thermal-IR photovoltaic cell that works by emitting photons to a cold environment, so you generate electricity by heating it up and pointing it at the 3K dust between the stars

Damn, I had no idea this existed. Why don’t LEO satellites or the ISS use these? Is the tech just too new? Seems like I’m always reading about how they have to charge batteries when they’re in sunlight and then discharge them while in the Earth’s shadow.

Well, the paper came out in 2020, so probably it’s simply too new. But very cool, in any case. Now your spaceship thermal radiators can be a source of power!

You must be loving this huh, irradiate-space

Yes.

2022 = 2018 + 4

This is Twitter’s Porn Ban.

... okay we'll see how this plays out but I think the timeline has maybe become desynched.

no more multimedia. you want to see an image? you can make it with ascii art like our ancestors used to

i don't think any of my ancestors have ever made ascii art

Arguably LaTeX counts as ascii art, given that it's made from ascii, if you're willing to bald-faced lie about what "counts as ascii art" means in your arguments.

i am even more confident none of my ancestors have used LaTeX

In the Ancestral Environment there was a need to quickly publish something that on a skim looks legit to avoid perishing.

i low-key ship tumblr ♠ twitter right now

its been too long, too quiet theyre t4t

Is this what Tumblr's dating life is now, eight years after their brief fling with 4chan.

That IS a type of intimacy. That's a MAJOR type of intimacy. That's the "grokking each other" from Stranger In A Strange Land and the "drift compatible" from Pacific Rim (and the thousands of fanfic that took and ran with that) and many other things.

well yeah, obviously, i created it and now it has always existed, that's how it works with abstractions. it's like triangles. theyve always existed as soon as they were invented.

Oh okay.

... next question then the OC is the concept of the relationship type itself, rather than the OC necessarily being in that type of relationship. Does your OC have a favorite type of flower?

(Unless it's less a "that character over there that I made" OC and more a "basically Actually Me, basically a 'sona" OC, in which case what is the subjective experience of being An Entire Relationship Type? Is there any sort of relation felt to pairs of people in that relationship type?

the relation Workplace Domesticity Slut feels to people that are in it is that they are in it. i think humans talk about this sensation sometimes?

Humans talk about the sensation of an equal, or something which can simulate or be functionally-analogous-to an equal, (partially) entering them sometimes, but that's very very different then the sensation of some other class of object being entirely within them, and having their experience shaped by them.

its like the e-coli in the human guts, i think

Ah! *heart*

Humans do not talk about this sensation, that I've seen. But as a human, they are a category of being who I would like to learn how to care about and care for.
