I Actually Think This Is More Interesting Than "because Tournaments Have Been Running Warhammer Culture

Laziness Does Not Exist

Psychological research is clear: when people procrastinate, there's usually a good reason

good read for teachers.

I'm personally convinced that Lift is going to convert everyone to the Church Of A Big Dinner.

Now thinking about the plot of sa6 (presumably, they get stormlight back as the main *big win* moment- this is the Stormlight Archives after all)

ANYWAY thinking about that and the implications of Kaladin Stormblessed disappearing when stormlight does and returning when it does. Like Herald of Second Chances and "here's your second chance with stormlight. Here's your second chance at being Radiant". Or something.

the whole "sao just awakens the 'i can fix her'-instinct in people"- thing is so fucking funny to me because literally not even the author is immune

reki kawahara really looked at his own novels and said "i can fix her" and that's why the sao progressive novels exist now

something about this story just does that to people, it's great!

stop normalizing things we are running out of Weird Shit

I'm particularly fond of Microsoft's implementation for Windows. It feels like the conversation went "It's super easy to unlock a phone, people are happy with that level of security, we should offer it" "Great idea. We'll let people have 4-digit pins" home market: "yay, this is so much easier than remembering a whole word" corporate market: "WHAT THE FUCK NO THAT'S ILLEGAL MAKE IT LONG AGAIN" And now I have a 17-digit 'pin' with special characters and mixed cases.

weirdest cybersecurity trend of the decade has to be the idea that a "PIN" is meaningfully distinct from a "password"

The fun thing with it being a neurological thing is that some of the symptoms are closer to glitches in the ol' brain meats. Sometimes it's classic brain fog. Sometimes it just hurts like fuck. Sometimes I can't stand bright lights, sometimes loud noises. Once or twice I've had the 'aura' thing where a chunk of my vision is blocked by jpg artefacts. Sometimes I get show-tunes stuck in my head until I can find some Ibuprophen.

Migraines are crazy because you walk around thinking that just means when your head hurts really really bad but it's actually a whole neurological thing and it turns out the dull pressure/sensory overload/brain fog you get are migraines and once you start noticing it you realize you're having them like every other day and you think to yourself Hm! That's probably not good
