Since it's something on my mind right now, I'd like to give a shoutout to my high school Spanish teacher, Señora Smith. When I started high school, I did not want to take Spanish. I thought it was dumb and I'd never need it anyways. But, Sra. Smith managed to not just instill in me an interest in Spanish, though she did do that, but also a love of languages in general, that would expand into an interest in linguistics as a whole.

If you've got the time to spare, I'm pretty sure there are no downsides to fucking with these sorts of spammers, so definitely go and have some fun doing that. It can lead you down some fun roads.

The best part is that I didn't send the passport to "the guy wanting to give me money". I put it in the form that the supposed HSBC sent me, then the original email address sent it back to me angry and accusing me of trying to scam him out of his money. The whole thing was just a real fun time, honestly.

Whilst I wait to see, as a fun fact for you, I once had one of these idiots threaten to call the Metropolitan Police on me. This was after, among other things, I sent him "my passport", quote-unquote, which was just Jorgi Costava's fake passport from Papers, Please. Man, that was a heck of a ride.

Been a while since I decided to toy with one of these. Wonder if I'll get anything fun back...

You know, on the one hand, I'm glad to have my bipolar disorder under control. On the other, it means I get to be depressed about something I can't get help with: the fact I'm trapped in a rapidly collapsing country that couldn't care less about or for my existence. Woo...

Also, I enjoy gender "Fellow". That's pretty neat, I guess.

HOLY SHIT RFC 6350 IS BEAUTIFUL. RFC 6350 defines the vCard format, and check out these examples for GENDER! "it's complicated" with no marker. I love it.

In case you're curious how Texas' grid is holding up this time around, it seems to be doing much better. ERCOT's reporting plenty of extra overhead and I haven't been hit with any rolling blackouts, so I don't doubt it. Power went out for a little bit, presumably a downed line or something, but it came back on within, like, 30 minutes. So, yeah. Doing better than it was this time last year.

As a fun fact, that quilt in the background was handmade by my grandmother. It's also very cozy

Cozy girl

(I mean, yeah, there's a plethora of reasons they can't be trusted with power, but we're just talking about nuking the moon right now. Stay on topic.)

I leave you with this question: why the fuck does anyone think these two countries, countries that wanted to nuke the fucking moon, mind you, deserved any sort of power. Clearly, they couldn't be trusted. Sheesh.

It does get a bit better, though, as the Soviets had no plans for if their nuke missed. They just wanted to nuke the moon but if they messed up, that bomb would end up coming back to earth.

So, uh, here's a fun fact for you: both the USA and USSR had plans to, in effect, nuke the moon. Ostensibly, at least in the USA's case, it was for science, but for both, it was also to send a message, presumably about their ability to nuke things that didn't deserve it. Ultimately, neither would actually carry out their plans, because, let's face it, who the fuck nukes the moon?! Why?!
