they have a LINGUISTIC SPECIALIST. they straight up made a whole new alphabet for this.
Okay, I started deciphering the letters! If you want to do it yourself, have fun! For the rest: my results are under the cut
#so mcr never really managed to interest me#but#if everything else falls through#can I become a linguistic specialist and invent fun alphabets for random bands and movies?#there are people out there really doing that for a living and honestly that seems amazing#I like software development and all but you know#in case things ever go wrong

from one chronically anxious person to another: the world is not going to go up in flames. What happens will be more slow, more bureaucratic, more boring. There is no catastrophe to end all catastrophes, no rapture, no sudden end. You can't give into the call of the void, because there is no void. So you just have to do the work to make tomorrow a better place, anyway. Because that's how it gets better.
#A lot of people want it to be too late#Because that means they can just throw their hands up and blame everyone else and not have to do the work anymore#But as long as there are people left it's never too late#Things will keep getting worse for a long time but if we keep working then it WILL turn around#We'll see some horrible days coming up but they will give way to a better future
As long as there are people left, it's never too late.

An adaptation of Sherlock Holmes set in a world in which the fictional character/literary juggernaut Sherlock Holmes, and all the subsequent adaptations thereof, still exist.
Sherlock Holmes (pronounced Holl-mess, as he is constantly reminding people) just had the misfortune of having parents who really liked the books, and his attitude towards his fictional counterpart is pretty much the same as that of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Sherlock runs a Youtube Theory channel called Mysteries Unwrapped with Sherlock Holmes. He has received no less than seven cease and desist letters from the Conan Doyle estate, all of which he has so faded managed to rebuff by pointing out that that's literally his name.
(No he won't change his name. He's Sherlock Holmes the real live human person. Let Sherlock Holmes the non existent fictional character change his name.)
John is Sherlock's flatmate. Sherlock almost refused to live with him once he realised that it would mean staying with a medical student named John, and only gave in once John pointed out that: a) he's a biomedical student, which is completely different from an md, and b) his surname isn't Watson.
It's now been three years, which is long enough for them to have developed a genuine friendship, and for John to have a) started working towards his PhD in biotechnology, and b) for him to start dating somebody with the surname Watson.
Sherlock can feel the narrative closing in.
His Youtube channel is meant to be focused on lost media, fan theories and stuff like that, but he keeps accidentally stumbling upon and then solving genuine crimes.
His brother Mycroft may or may not have chosen that name after he transitions specifically to annoy him.
He doesn't even live in London, but somehow the only flat they could afford was on a street named fucking Baker Street.
Sherlock Holmes and the Unescapable Power of the Narrative.

My job now is to outlive that man.
I will outlive him. I will be here when he is gone. I will be here when he has been erased. I will be here, telling stories, loving my wife, protecting my friends and family, cherishing joy and kindness and diversity. I will be here. He will not. It is only a matter of time.
He is 78. No matter what fresh shit he and his fanclub brew up, you have a good chance!

"Life is meaningless without struggle" is wrong in that most people's lives has waaay too much struggle than optimal. When there is the optimal amount of struggle people really like it, that is why video games are so popular.
People often confuse "death by a thousand cuts" with "struggle".

if you have ANY of nvidia's geforce GPUs, update your drivers NOW!
Graphics card manufacturer Nvidia is currently issuing a warning to all owners of GeForce GPUs. According to an Nvidia security bulletin, several security vulnerabilities requiring urgent attention have been discovered in the company’s own display drivers and other software. A total of eight vulnerabilities are listed, all of them with a “High” severity rating. If you have an Nvidia GeForce GPU, you need to act now.
these vulnerabilities are such that hackers could take control of your computer and view all your personal data and files.
The vulnerabilities affect GeForce software, Nvidia RTX, Quadro, NVS, and Tesla, both under Windows and Linux.
nvidia has not announced whether or not these vulnerabilities have already been exploited in the wild, or if they have, how much they have been exploited in the wild.
rune note: while it is generally in a tech company's best interest to announce when major vulnerabilities have not already been exploited for malicious purposes, it can be impossible to prove that a vulnerability has not been exploited.

linking arms with my fellow beloved transes who like nonconsensual and/or monstrous transformation story tropes because it allows you a fantasy where you get to change your body without being made to feel at fault for it
#well.#doesn't this explain a thing#but also I guess looking at it from the other side#those characters in particular understand how it is when you are stuck with a form you did not choose#but also also those characters get an escape from being human to be something much more interesting#and also the consensual transformation story tropes are good as well but so much harder to find

Apparently the Congo river is deep enough that there are several species of fish with cavedwelling adaptations (near-total to total blindness, loss of pigmentation, etc) because light doesn't reach where they live. the fuck
I'm going insane these literally look like cave fish but they're just from the bottom of a stupid deep river. What the fuck. What the fuck
