Zoned out for twenty min thinking about how I’d explain fortnite to an ancient Roman
….well? don’t leave us hanging 👀
I’d open with its a painting but it moves. (It’s enchanted to move?) Uh, sure. (Witchcraft!) I am stoned. Let’s try again. I’d open with its many paintings put together in succession so it has the appearance of movement. Demonstrate by drawing a simple page flip animation of a fish swimming in the margin of a book. Okay. So this buff cat. You see the cat’s head on the muscular man’s body? (Is this an Egyptian god?) Uh, no. It’s just like, we don’t have that shit anymore. I mean, so much time has passed, its pretty much fallen out of the cultural milieu here. (Existential crisis. I get him some tea. He spits it out cuz he thinks it’s disgusting.) ok buddy. So. You good to keep going? Okay so. It’s many paintings in quick succession so it appears to move, and you control its movement. Not the whole painting. Just the cat. He moves around on this landscape. The point of controlling the cat’s movement is like the point of a war game. Loosely. (So you practice war? Sharp nod. War.) Uh, okay. So then, when you get your little man to kill someone, that’s good, right. (What is he doing now?) Oh he’s dancing. You can make him do a little dance after he kills someone. (It’s inappropriate to do a little dance after you take a man’s life.) Okay but it’s not actually — (it’s INNAPROPRIATE. I spit on this). He spits at my laptop.
“No no, you dance over your fallen foe as a tribute to Mars so that he may bless you on your next fight!
Imagine a karen in ba sing se demanding to see the manager of a local tea shop and she turns around and the fucking firelord says “i’m the manager on duty”
Iroh stated he has plans to go back to the jasmine dragon once the war is over in the finale. You telling me that zuko wont help out his uncle whenever hes in ba sing se? and soft? Dont mistakes kindness for softness.
turning off your cell phone isn’t going to do what you want it to do
law enforcement can analyze your metadata, locate that disruption in your patterns, and use that to prosecute you later, if they choose. if you go out, if you protest, if you and others engage in disruptive events, consider leaving your phone at home and on, or with someone you trust to continue engaging in your patterns (texting, using social media, etc.) as another necessary step in covering your tracks and protecting yourself in the future.
if you have to communicate in the field, use prepaid, disposable phones that are not connected to you or people you know, or two-way radio. strictly speaking, though, its best not to communicate in any way other than directly while in the field. set up meet times and locations and organize movement directly.
in our times of big data, removing all evidence of involvement includes the creation of data. stay safe yall
