when i was a kid i could never wait for my Psyduck to evolve and now i make it hold an everstone. this is known as maturity

*gets a report* ah, i see the kits are up to Mischief again

explaining xkcd?? 

@witchfynder_finder i think the “joke” is that generating random numbers in software isn’t as secure as generating random numbers from physical phenomena, a humorous example of which would be a very large die

(because software RNGs are hackable/predictable/attackable whereas dicerolls are not)

it's not funny though. it's more “oh you have this problem? here’s a really impractical solution, look how it helps nobody.” thanks i guess??

i would have denied him entry for being Bing Crosby but that's just me

Show thread

as a fun historical note, the combination of a jean jacket and jeans is known as a canadian tuxedo, not because canadians wear it (as this thread exemplifies), but because a hotel in Vancouver BC once denied Bing Crosby entry for wearing full denim

Show thread

we came to the conclusion that she was simply too delicate and refined a lady for such a course fabric, which is fine

i can be the denim dyke in the relationship and she can be the activewear

Show thread

i tried to talk my girlfriend into wearing denim and she was like no

@aescling “reality isn’t real, embrace the cult of meme” is a line which has been pushed by a lot of millennial grifters and white supremacists over the past decades and it has unfortunately large purchase among younger demographics in my anecdotal experience

setting them up for everything from NFT scams to viral internet conspiracy theories

it’s a real failing of my generation that we still don’t have a response to it and that these people still manage to find their way onto notable platforms

i mean in terms of things which make me concerned for zoomers the number of pepe memes i see them using on discord still takes the cake

Show thread

@aescling (artist is not a zoomer, artist appeals to zoomers, important clarification)

writing about sex 

@alyssa most english-speaking people conceive of sex as a largely private matter to be conducted with a certain level of discretion, so it can be jarring for a story to transition into it to quickly without first appropriately setting up that intimate context

i mean this largely linguistically: people expect sexual thoughts or actions to only be present in situations of an intimate character voice or narration, where a certain kind of “closeness” with the character in question is felt; even in a fic about blatant exhibitionism the camera is usually positioned close to the protagonist and with a limited perspective; rarely is it “wide-angle” or “from afar”

but a limited, narrow perspective doesn't suit the story i am working on now. so i need to negotiate how i want to work sex into it in a way which doesn’t feel jarring to people who aren’t used to frank discussions of arousal and sexual acts occurring in a more open context, and hopefully in a way which is still somewhat aesthetically appealing
