Predominantly Erroneous (Exohedron nonsense blog)

It's like that joke where someone follows every instance of the word "I" with their full name which has like fifteen parts, except instead of bunch of names it's just a string of 185 alphanumeric characters.
"I, aBAK4bCZRUC94nb8QR9A9RQhvFV1KVBG48BJBA8vkhvaO03B8VC72vK71BkhVKhgo8GK1VfaqeIiYtiYBi8b6JA9Oo4jB87724QB8xbkJJWQPRPQ161C191vjqjhb8Brfvxe8hnDfjuiNJRc9JDi9FhV5yb4YCcYUQJNF0Nc9v5c8c94C9nN0Hw9V, declare that..."

 

Kicking Trump off of Twitter two weeks before his term ends should be a purely symbolic gesture, except that's somehow his primary form of communication with the howling mob and so it has actual effects in terms of his ability to cause things to happen. In contrast, the effects of a second impeachment are much more indirect, requiring passing through at least one stage of virtue signaling to constituents before getting to actual tangible consequences.

NB: When I say "howling mob" I mean Americans in general.

 

But what about second healthbar?

 

The wording I use to deliver bad news depends, in a pretty consistent manner, on how surprising it is. For instance, for events that had a small but nontrivial chance of having hone better, I almost always start with "Welp." For getting completely blindsided, the phrase is "So it turns out that"
Note that whether the news is bad for me or just for the listener is more reflected in pitch, which of course is completely lost in text so I sound more sympathetic.

 

"Our time slots for things happening: soon but we don't know when, eventually but we don't know when, possibly but we don't know if, and tomorrow but we won't be told beforehand."

 

*Code Ment voice* Why are you trying to close it in the sup norm?

 

Why are the main pictures of the Rodam's Partido Largo, a 3rd party interpretation of the Gundam GP03 Dendrobium Orchid Mobile Armor, always from the back? If it were, for instance, the Nobel Gundam, that would be a bit more standard since the Nobel Gundam is female-coded and actually has something resembling an ass to show off. But the Dendrobium Orchid is a metal shelf with rocket boosters and guns and missile racks attached to it; why are all the pictures emphasizing the rocket boosters rather than the guns and missiles? Have I stumbled into the alternate universe where the logistics end of things is suddenly considered more of a selling point? Has the Gundam fandom been invaded by transit-oriented teens?

 

What does Brian Eno think about ASMR? What would John Cage have thought about ASMR?

 

The sudden realization that, in the hypothetical case that I actually open up my tumblr and go through with my plans regarding it, my policy of leaving my inbox open to anons but not actually publishing any received anon hate means that I can simply lie about the contents of my inbox.
I mean, the original plan was to simply assign a periodic letter grade to the entire stack, which is entertaining enough as it is, but I could instead make vague, contextless rebuttals to it, even to messages that don't exist.
I mean, that's probably just inviting more drama than the letter-grade strategy, which itself is intended to prevent drama by being really unsatisfying for the kind of person who sends anonymous hate mail, and also I probably don't need to actually expend energy in order to get bugfuck nonsense in my inbox; I can probably just make a post about higher identity types and in return get an angry screed about being a terf or something. But still, it might be fun for a little bit.

 

When your code doesn't work because, despite the objects looking very similar, it turns out that + means very different things for lists and for vectors.

Today my boss was worried about me because I look like I can't afford to lose weight. And I explained that I am capable of gaining weight while losing volume, which was probably not terribly reassuring to either her or my coworker who was also part of that conversation.

Just skin and bones, mostly bones.

[EDIT]: Before anyone considers worrying or anything, I am perfectly happy with my situation. Well, I'd like to not sink in water, and maybe a bit more padding on my shins so they don't sting so much when I accidentally bump my subwoofer, but otherwise I am healthy and comfortable.

 

I don't remember if I already mentioned this before here, but since I'm proud of it, I'm officially laying claim to this anon ask sent to @seebs' tumblr five years ago, during a flare-up of the "what does the 'A' stand for" debacle, where each word in the ask started with the letter "a". I'm pretty sure I didn't have to look up any words, although I did have to do a bit of shuffling to get around having to use connecting words that started with other letters.

 

Unplanned regnancy AU

 

When I was in high-school one of my friends had really long hair and in the winter, she generated so much static that you could put your finger on someone else's forehead, touch her hand, and the electricity would pass through you and shock the other person. It was hilarious.
Anyway, my hair isn't quite that long but it's longer than it's ever been before and coincidentally I'm building up a lot of static these days.

When you finally get confirmation that two of your coworkers are married to each other, given that they have different last names, neither of them wear rings, and you've seen them interact all of maybe twice in the past four years despite their desks being less than 40 feet apart. I mean, in academia it's not uncommon for women to keep their last names after marriage since they want to keep hold of their publishing record, but it certainly didn't make the matter clearer to me.
Speaking of, one of my male coworkers recently got married and took his wife's last name, which I think is really cool of him. They didn't hyphenate, he just tacked his wife's surname onto the end of his name and moved his father's surname to the middle.

 

I have played neither game but apparently my intuitions are closer to Stardew Valley than Animal Crossing because I somehow was surprised to find out that apparently you never get a sword in Animal Crossing.

 

How many Star Wars fanboys can you piss off by always saying "Exar-kun" like a weeb.
