A Short Story Inspired by Recent Conversations

“Important Work”

“We are archivists,” the alien explained, “we travel from solar system to solar system searching for events worthy of recording for our library.”

“I am responsible for archives of moments of great happiness.” The alien continued, “I seek beings in a perfect state of joy. That is why I have come to earth.” She beamed at me as if this made perfect sense.

Miten tää skaala tuleeki aina yllätyksenä itelle, että jos oon kivun takia päivystyksessä tai kevyemmässä tilanteessa vaan esim fyssarilla. Tää kaikessa typeryydessään on hyvin avattu tähän alle. Mun on vaikea uskaltas ”liioitella” mutta tiedän että mun kannattaa tehdä niin. Silti en osais sanoa, että muhun sattuu atm about 3-4, niiku suurin piirtein aina, eli vähättelen jatkuvasti. Mut oon sanonut kivuksi 9-10 vaikka en usko että oon koskaan kokenut pahinta mahdollista kipua, tuskin tulenkaan

A scary quick calculation: there are 10,375 Starlink satellites in orbit https://planet4589.org/space/con/conlist.html, all coming down within 5 years.

That's an *average* of 5 or 6 a day for the next 5 years. And the v2's are bigger than the v1's. v2's are (conservatively) 1000kg and (conservatively) half aluminum. That's 2.5-3 tonnes of aluminum per day. 8 times the natural infall rate of aluminum (and there's lots of other scary things like lithium). What will that do to our atmosphere?

SpaceX is awful.

@soatok @JoscelynTransient Horse girl has the wealth aspect of either being well off enough to upkeep a horse or aspirational enough to take riding lessons at a pony club and dream about more.
Car bro gets close as an expensive hobby but it lacks the ability for the boy to drive during formative years.
I'd say sailing because:
>you can reasonably do some dinghy sailing on a lake for reasonable expenses to your parents
>owning a boat fulltime is notoriously expensive as the things like to rot when left in the water or get destroyed by bad weather if you had the hubris of leaving them moored even in a placid pond
>sailing is rooted in aristocratic protocols and demeanor, there's rich people attire specific to it
>it's masculine because the sea famously calls to men but it's not like women can't sail just as it's not like men can't ride a horse

It was alway funny when people called my queer ass homophobic, and my writing against racism racist because I talked to racists in the process of talking about racism.

Also engaging with Anonymous was racism and homophobia, no matter how many times I tried to explain how that culture worked, it was just too hard to actually think about what I was saying.

So all these years later, not talking to racists, not interceding at all, it KINDA FUCKIN BACKFIRED, DIDN'T IT?

Yo uso esta otra escala, pero la que plantea Aria me parece más global, la mía es un intento de describir la situación cuando el dolor no te deja hacer vida

Escala de dolor:
0: sin dolor
1: está presente
3: dificulta hacer vida normal
5: imposibilita hacer vida normal
7: cuesta aguantarse/lágrimas de dolor
9: hueso roto/expulsar algo por los uréteres

There were never any real prospects for a U.S.-Iran deal to fizzle. That was just a media narrative, one driven by prioritizing words from a serially lying White House over the consistent facts of the war. In a month of uninterrupted rain, you ran multiple headlines of “Sun Comes Out, Trump Says.”

So, I'm trying out Helix editor despite loathing the anti-GUI nature of most terminal text editors because of how frustrating most of the bigger editors have become

And one thing that's weird is that all of the language servers I use work much more reliably in Helix than in, say, Zed or Sublime. That on its own is shaping to be worth increasing the cognitive overhead of work by losing the file tree and mini-map

Also, turns out less lag while typing does partially make up for the mode bullshit

obviously i am going to be fair and give it as much help as i can. i'm confident it will perform piss poorly even given considerable help.

help of course means writing an AGENTS.md.
here are the things i have decided it should pay particular attention to. any other recs?

• alignment requirements
• strict pointer aliasing
• memory leaks
• use after free
• automatic casts
• undefined behaviour, especially:
  • strict pointer aliasing
  • overflow and underflow
