My anger at infosec folks over yesterday's meta storm
This is an era of fascists who are "proud to be white".
This is an era where the FBI investigates Black Lives Matter because black folks not liking being shot by police is an overly radical idea.
In the past couple weeks I've seen talk of a bunch of violence against LGTBQ+ folks in Portland and the police in that area have *ties* to the perpetrators.
Can you *maybe* find some fucking empathy about why folks would be tweaked?

ended this shit on a high note. 💙
still need to wait for the final judgment on this, but the therapist was way optimistic about this all now that I've opened my mouth a lot more, so hey~
real cyberpunk hours, who up
the 2022 look! probably the last one I'm dropping on here right away; stay tuned until I finish the rest of this damn ref sheet for the updates to the remaining two 💙
broke: retro as a means of expressing uncritical nostalgia for more conservative times and closing oneself off from the present day and the future
woke: retro as a means of reclaiming broken promises of a future that was outright stolen from us and recontextualizing old aesthetics that deserve better than the time they existed in/provide useful inspiration for new things
- a microSD card weighs somewhere around 0.4g
- the highest capacity microSD that's easily available is 256GB
- a trebuchet can throw a 90kg projectile over 300m
90kg worth of microSD cards is 225,000 of them
Therefore a trebuchet can throw 57.6PB of data over 300m
This would have the highest throughput of any telecommunications network ever created

personal worldbuilding notes, calendar/date format shenanigans inspired by a straight up shitpost
Northern Isarthakan calendar (most of Krasma and umAŕneth, Faekak, Tovelen and Ïslekhante in north-central Dorzhen, also used worldwide):
322 or 321 days long divided into 6 seasons consisting of 3 months* (17 to 18 days) each, with the spring and fall equinoxes as their own separate days, with the leap day in mid-winter
typical date formats: yyyy/s/m/dd (worldwide), yyyy/mm/dd (Kǁingarúp-Egyashko-K'epeħa), dd/m/s/yyyy (umVarlakh-thalKanneqith)
Southern Isarthakan calendar (most of Dorzhen, Øttivileq {western umAŕneth), the Ciskrasmic Isles, Auakea, Uyatkuch and Dhaalettu in south-central Krasma):
same year length, but subdivided into 14 months* of 23 days each with one clipped off of the first month in short years.
typical date formats: yyyy/mm/dd (most areas), dd/mm/yyyy (Øttivileq and the Ciskrasmic Isles), mm/yyyy/dd (Auakea, where even the people who live there have no idea why they don't just use a more sensible system)
* Isarthaka doesn't actually have any satellites beyond the occasional temporary asteroid caught in orbit around the planet; these periods are completely arbitrary as a result.
