Odious Cryptobro Coworker is… slowly turning into a... not friend. Patient? I think he comes to me for a weird kind of therapy. Idk.
He’s the most transparently terrible man, a layer of empty-eyed greed and rightwing manosphere bullshit covering a surprisingly tormented sense of self entirely built on personal exceptionalism and continuous achievement, stable only as long as the numbers go up, creating a rift of disconnection with others and an unresolvable sense of discontent with himself. Smells of high-functioning autism tbh.
He’s trying to date to replace a 12 year relationship, but I genuinely think he may just be gay or asexual, and in profound denial. I don’t know.
When we hang out we discuss his various dates, and while he has a Girlfriend-Shaped Hole(TM), he (unsurprisingly) doesn’t seem to like women very much. He’s wealthy and conventionally attractive and has a taste for the BPD type (blonde, hot, and emotionally unstable), yet also, most of his dating attempts sort of die out around the 3rd date, when the women start expecting some kind of physical sign of affection and he’s just… not into that. He heavily prefers women who are cruel, ruthless, and unavailable for some reason.
He likes that I call him on his bullshit; sometimes I suspect he may be getting some kind of humiliation kink met.
Anyway, I’ve been having weekly restaurant dates with him for a while now. It feels weird. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer? I always have a strangely excellent time but also expect every moment for this thing to turn sour.
(My husband and QPP know about him; QPP has started calling him my “little project”, husband calls him The Horrible Mr. Crypto, like he’s a supervillain.)
I wanna see how much of the tumbr user base is queer so I made this 😋
Reblog for larger sample size! ☺️
The first point and the third point are absolutely correct. It’s really crazy to think about how everything we see is just photons bouncing off one another relative to the particles around it which then are relative to us.
Also since each particle can’t be perfectly updated every frame sometimes we don’t have enough other particles around a specific photon in spacetime (3D space plus particles that were recently in the same space it’s currently in) so then that photon has to guess its location for the next frame like you summarized in point 3.
The second point about the speed of light limiting the number of particles is slightly innacurate since I’m assuming at each time step of the universe our in-universe time kinda freezes during the computation and any particle could contact any other particle instantaneously (think shared read-only universal hashmap where each particle can only modify its own entry). Therefore the limitation on checking all of the particles in the universe every frame isn’t based on the speed of light but rather on how each particle just doesn’t have the capacity to check all the billions of particles in a 1 meter radius of it and similarly those billions of particles don’t have the capacity to check that one additional particle so the universe fuzzes with randomness and gets it mostly correct instead. Fun fact: Fuzzing with randomness is actually used in Redis and other caches to have low latency most of the time without having to exactly track how many times each cache has been accessed or when the last access was.
Thank you so much for the distilled summary! I def appreciate the feedback and knowing what you understood from it all. I’m still refining my explanation so thank you!
there's nothing that melts me more than just hearing someone be passionate about something. And if someone has hurt you in the past and makes you reluctant to fuckin completely go off on the expanded canon of the X-Files or whatever, I'm gonna hit them in the head with a big mallet. You're adorable, show it. Please

I understand the sentiment “nonbinary people don’t owe you androgyny”. It’s an objectively correct phrase! But…like…I’ve never seen anyone celebrating nonbinary folks who are androgynous? Who are visibly queer? Idk it’s starting so sound less like a breaking of expectations and more of “You don’t have to be one of THOSE queers”
reblog if you are breaking the sqlite code of ethics
girlthing as a word is so fucking gender. like "this... thing. i don't know. but whatever it is, i'm pretty sure she's a girl"
