Sometimes, I go quiet, whether on here or in real life. Sometimes, this is because I genuinely have nothing to say. A lot of the time, it's because I'm too scared to say anything, for one reason or another, particularly when it comes to real life. Even when what I have to say is important in some way, my anxiety issues its veto.

today's bad idea: applying SI prefixes to money
"this candy bar is 2/1€, or 500m€ each"
"i wanted a new computer, but at a price of 2 kilodollars I think i might prefer a used one"
"sony has annual profits of multiple terayen"
I think that I have found quite possibly the best description of enbies ever:
> enby has no rules.

Hatsune Miku is the best thing that ever happened to Free Software. We should embrace the death of the author.

Being non-binary fucking rules. There's like a big chunk of the population that thinks we kill god by existing and that's pretty fuckin metal.

periodic reminder: "to pull yourself up by your bootstraps" was originally coined to describe an impossibility.
Interesting tidbits from Kat's cultures
Among the Kirai, there's a metaphor: "their sun has risen."
At first glance, this may seem positive. Perhaps, they've achieved fame. Actually, it's the opposite.
See, the Kirai see life as a fog, so if your sun has risen, then your fog will dissipate, your life will end. So, for someone's sun to rise is much like how for us, someone's time is up: it's a way of saying that they have die or are dying.
This isn't important, except as context for my next toot
Fun fact: I worldbuild. Not for any particular story. I just like creating worlds, cultures, and languages.

Pepe, /r/frenworld, and "why do Nazis keep appropriating otherwise innocent shit?" rant/miniessay
It's a deliberate strategy of forming (from scratch, or by taking over) innocent-shaped, clearly differentiable, fascist-controlled spaces that they can lure not-yet-fascist people into by
1. tempting them to look with "that's ridiculous, that innocent-looking stuff can't possibly be fascist",
2. tempting them to join with easy-to-enter/-participate, genuine community,
3. and then also sprinkling fascist ideology, often obscured by a layer of layers of symbology/indirection so that it's not immediately visible without investment in the community

Interesting TILs about sumo wrestling
TIL that the top ranking sumo wrestling referees are expected to resign if they make a call that is overturned by the ring judges.
It is customary and expected that their resignation will be refused by the sumo commission and they keep their job, but in rare cases of repeated or especially egregious errors, this resignation is accepted.
If I had to "resign" every time I made a mistake and had to hope my boss would go "Naw we still want you", I'd be a nervous wreck.
Then again I'm hardly best in my field.

Anyone wanna start a really bitter software co-op where we let our disgust at both ourselves for being in tech and the hatred of the megacorps seep into every single bit of marketing material?

A saw a shirt depicting a married couple with the bride happy, the husband sad, and the words "life sentence" above them.
I know it's been asked before, but /are/ the straights okay?
Bad habits I need to break
If I do this to you, I'm really sorry. I'm trying not to act flippant about stuff, I really am.
