There’s a scientific journal called “Get me off Your Fucking Mailing List”.

In 2005, computer scientists David Mazières and Eddie Kohler created this highly profane ten-page paper as a joke, to send in replying to unwanted conference invitations. It literally just contains that seven-word phrase over and over, along with a nice flow chart and scatter-plot graph.

An Australian computer scientist named Peter Vamplew sent it to the International Journal of Advanced Computer Technology in response to spam from the journal. Apparently, he thought the editors might simply open and read it.

Instead, they automatically accepted the paper — with an anonymous reviewer rating it as “excellent” — and requested a fee of $150. While this incident is pretty hilarious, it’s a sign of a bigger problem in science publishing. This journal is one of many online-only, for-profit operations that take advantage of inexperienced researchers under pressure to publish their work in any outlet that seems superficially legitimate.

someone showed me how to extract lines from medibang so it looks cleaner!! might do that from now on, it does look neater doesn't it? just wanted to put here the result of my experiments, I admit i did clean it up with a pen since the raw extraction couldn't pick up the more nuanced lines. (note to self: thicker lines and to take a better picture next time aslkdjla)

if you really care about media warping people's perception of reality, how about we stop talking about porn and start talking about cop procedurals?

in every social media platform there should be a feature where you can post or like a post about something without your fyp suddenly being flooded with dozens of other posts about that topic. like sometimes I just want to post or like some posts about it without having to constantly see dozens of other posts about it thank you. I will search for them if I want to see them

Just want you to know your headcanon of Techno having a breakdown in prison has been rotting my brain… but I also can’t decide whether it does fit in the timeline where you said. Because at the beginning of the prison podcast Techno talks about the cell in a way that Dream yells, “it’s not a vacation!” though clearly his ‘it’s not getting old’ is sarcastic but just seems weird for Dream to almost give a serious reaction to Techno’s sarcasm. Then there is the whole “oh you’re getting tortured? I can not relate to that at all’ comment which has always been slightly strange to me since it’s surely not like this is new information so I suppose it’s just a joke but than Dream says how he hasn’t been since Techno has been there like he’s again answering honestly to a joke which is weird… I don’t know. Then again, there’s also the fact of Techno getting Dream to dig out the toilet, which I always interpreted as an unserious thing meant to give Dream hope, but now that you mentioned the context of Philza not activating the pearl perhaps it was a more serious idea than I thought. Perhaps that’s why he asked Dream what he usually does to pass the time in the cell when that seems like a question that should have been asked earlier because now he’s at the point where he’s realized that now he’s really stuck in the cell….. thoughts?How do you interpret some of the comments they make during the podcast that don’t make sense timeline wise but are for the benefit of the audience and that Dream seems to answer seriously?

i think the key to most of this is in your last sentence: for the benefit of the audience.

the problem with the dsmp is that some events take place off-screen and then some events take place solely on someone else's stream. so information isn't always available to the current viewers. a lot of the seemingly weird comments that c!techno in particular makes feels like cc!techno doing a '''previously on''' bit.

we know c!dream is being tortured. c!techno is also notoriously bad at dealing with more intense, serious things unless backed into a corner so the joke about being tortured isn't out of place. he would awkwardly make that joke. but c!dream, who is clearly dealing with a lot including memory issues and other mental health issues, answering that quip with an honest reply is both in character and something that informs the audience of what's going on. now we know that c!quackity has been keeping up his daily visits. same thing with the comments on the cell, really. it's a mix of '''previously on''' that's in character for techno to be joking around about their circumstances with dream's kinda disjointed 'oh this guy is not fully alright' responses. it's giving info that people might've missed and updates to how they're handling this (not great, could be so much worse).

as for the toilet thing, i think it can be both! i do think techno had dream do it because he clearly needed something to do. he was actively self-harming which techno was aware of. he can't do that if he's trying to escape, right? and maybe having a '''plan''' will make him feel better about their circumstances. but also c!phil was supposed to read the book after a few days and he clearly hasn't and techno might be trying to kill two birds with one stone.

anyway, i definitely always take an approach to the dsmp lore where i consider everything lore but i also feel like you can't forget the medium or the outside factors, including this was a collection of streams that not everyone was watching all pov's of. some of these little weird moments i view as like. if this was a tv show, a character would've said something that triggered a flashback or just done a clunky 'if you remember, [insert thing that happened two episodes ago].

okay so apparently it’s kinda normal, but the inability to see clear images in my head is not. Thanks internet

if this is another neurodivergent rizzler thing I’m gonna cry but like. I don’t hear characters voices when I read. There’s no “voice” at all, unless I vocalize it myself or think really hard about it.
