YES I'M GAY:

Do Something in the Real World

Alright. Folks. Here is the thing.

Posting on tumblr, Youtube, BlueSky or other social media is nice and all. And it is very important to educate people. I mean, have of what I am doing on this blog is trying to educate people.

But I have realized, that it simply ain't enough. And this is why I am writing this.

I am sorry, folks, but y'all need to get going in the real world out there. And I mean it. No matter where you are, there is going to be some organization at your place trying to make a change.

Maybe it is a political organisation trying to get good people elected. Maybe it is a soup kitchen. Maybe it is some other mutual aid group. Maybe it is an organisation bringing stuff to disenfranchised people. Maybe some folks who band together to phone politicians. I don't what it is. But I can guarantee you, that almost for certain there is something around you, where people are trying to do good.

And you - yes, you! - need to join them. And you need to do it now.

As this is going online (this is prescheduled), I am out in some street canvassing for the German Left Wing party, because there is an election on Sunday. Tomorrow I will be out helping folks set up a protest against fucking fucking nazis. We are expecting more than 10 000 people to come on our side.

Yes, I know you are tired. And I know you might be somewhere on the spectrum. I am too. I am fucking exhausted. I am on the spectrum. Oh, and I am heavily physically disabled.

It does not matter now. We need to organize. We need to get moving. Educating some already similar minded people online is just not going to cut it anymore.

The world is out there. And you need to interact with it. No matter how much it sucks. Because I guarantee you, if you don't do it now, it is gonna suck even more in the future.

We should have done this before. Fuck. We should have done this latest when Greta Thunberg started her thing. At the most latest we should have gotten this going when the pandemic was happening. We had some movement with BLM, but we let it peter out.

No more.

The future begins now.

Kerbal Space Program was once afflicted by a bug the fans dubbed the "Deep Space Kraken", whereby if you travelled far enough from the origin of the game's coordinate system, floating point rounding errors would cause your spacecraft's components to become misaligned and/or clip into each other, resulting in the craft falling apart or exploding for no obvious reason.

The bug was later fixed by defining the active spacecraft itself as the origin of the game's coordinate system. In effect, the spacecraft no longer moves; instead, the spacecraft remains stationary and the entire universe moves around it. Owing to how relativity works, to the player this is indistinguishable from the spacecraft moving about within a fixed coordinate system, and it ensures that the body of the craft and its components will always be modelled with maximal precision.

While elegant, this solution introduced a new problem: it was now possible, by doing certain stupid tricks with relativistic velocities, to introduce floating point rounding errors to everything except the active spacecraft. In extreme cases, this could result in the destruction of the entire observable universe.

Some might call this one of those situations where the solution proves to be worse than the problem. I call it a perfect expression of what Kerbal Space Program is truly about.

why is your cat green?

She’s built different 😌

i’m really sorry

not extremely, although it is fun

Reblogging things I like feels a lot more goblinesque than upvoting ever did. The upvotes felt like "hmm yes, I approve *golf claps*" while reblogging feels like furtively staring at something before shoving it in your mouth and scurrying back underneath the nearest piece of furniture.

Which isn't to say that I don't like it. But I definitely find myself going "maybe I shouldn't reblog this because I've already reblogged a bunch of things today and I don't want to look like I don't have a life," I say as I close the app and reopen it like one of those little automatic box toys with the switches.

OK, folks. Here are a few things you need to know about this week's episode of 'The Magnus Protocol'. Warning for spoilers ...

Hello, John.

Apologies for the deception, but I wanted to make sure you started reading

I miss the days when, no matter how slow your internet was, if you paused any video and let it buffer long enough, you could watch it uninterrupted
