Meme Security

Y’know, I can’t believe people are still falling into these traps, but I guess maybe people aren’t as experienced / paranoid about these things as I assume.

You’ve probably seen those “name generator” style memes that go around, you know the ones. You take things like the first letter of your name, the month you were born, or the first letter of your street, and you pick out the words next to them so you can tell everyone your funny DJ name, what your obituary will say, or what your Lord of The Rings Orc name is. It seems pretty harmless and light hearted if you don’t think about it.

There’s a good chance you’ve worked out the problem just from having it described, the trick works backwards and can be used to decode the information, and because you’re not actually typing out your birthday, or telling people what your name is or what street you live on, you don’t feel like you’re giving anything away.

(I was also just typing out how someone could use that information, since on it’s own you might think it’s not that useful, but I’ve decided to not include that bit because it’s basically a guide on how to be a total creeper. Suffice to say you’d use that information along with other information which you can get in other ways.)Anyone or anything asking for personal information, whether it’s directly or indirectly, if it’s for a joke or if it’s for serious reasons, should always be treated as suspicious. Don’t go leaking your private details by accident, it’s really hard to clean up when you do.

I have a lot of problems with Link’s inability to swim for more than 5 seconds 

EDIT yes I put the link on the Link. Am I funny yet.

Even if you don’t like Halloween you have to appreciate its position as the sole thing keeping Christmas from advancing even earlier into the year like a cancerous growth

The goth kids hold the line.

okay, so everyone has set up the main rivalry in Black Panther as Killmonger vs T’Challa. And obviously that’s the main narrative structure of the story, not arguing with that. But I feel like from a purely character arc standpoint, the actual battle is Killmonger vs Nakia, and she obliterates him.

Erik Stevens is a CIA covert operative; basically, he’s a spy. So is Nakia. And when you look at their various actions through the lens of “who accomplished their mission better?”, it becomes pretty clear that Erik spent 20-some years preparing to destabilize T’Challa’s reign, including having inside knowledge and a birthright on his side…and Nakia spent roughly 36 hours successfully destabilizing his reign, in turn, with nothing but her incredible ability to network disparate resources.

Let’s just review her actions over those 36 hours okay:

- Gets the surviving members of the royal family successfully out of danger within seconds of the coup (aka the only living people with a competing blood claim to the throne aka the greatest threat to his regime)

- Sows enough doubt in the “greatest warrior in the country” about Killmonger’s ability to lead that when the time comes, Okoye and the entire Dora Milaje all defect (eventually saving hundreds of lives)

- Steals a heart-shaped herb from under his nose as he’s identifying it as the most important power resource in the country and trying to prevent it falling into anyone else’s hands, lol too late buddy

- Immediately identifies the person in the country with the best platform to mount a counter-insurgency (M’Baku), identifies what it will take to get him on their side, and casually resolves a centuries-long division in their country while she’s at it

- Correctly predicts Killmonger’s opening move of distributing vibranium to the war dogs, and assists in a comprehensive strategy that shuts it down cold–a strategy they wouldn’t have been able to use if she hadn’t gotten Shuri, Ross, and T’Challa all in one place with the right information at the right time

As soon as T’Challa is back she takes an immediate backseat again (she said it herself, she’s a spy, not the leader of an army), but, seriously, if you have to pinpoint the one person who took down Killmonger, it’s undeniably her. And she did it by clearly demonstrating that her skills as a war dog are miles ahead of his as a CIA agent (due in part, I’m sure, to being trained in a superior country, but also she’s Just That Good).

The problem with trying to become a peace officer is even though I’ve got the training, tons of regular cops are also applying to be peace officers and pretty much everyone is gonna choose a cop over a security guard every time

Dude: “we won’t win if you play mei play something else”

me: “we’re winning and mei is great for stalling payloads”

dude: “but we can’t win with mei”

me: “....we are already winning”

dude: “wtf” *leaves match*

Quiddich would be way cooler if everything took place even higher off the ground and all the players had wingsuits so they could jump off their brooms and zoom downwards in crazy maneuvers.

It’d also be far, far more dangerous

me: low health standing in front of a moira, staring into her face. No enemies around

moira: does nothing

If I ever get married, instead of “bridesmaids” or “groomsmen” i want to have a “board of directors”

And instead of “best man” or “maid of honor” they’ll be “chairperson” and “co-chairperson”

Either that or have a "parliament" with a "sgt at arms" and "speaker of the house"
