(Post made with dictation, I’m going through it to check for errors but I might miss some :/)
I’ve kind of fallen out of love with a very small subsection of Tech Bros.
Like I’ve always disliked them because of how naive most of them are like I don’t know for example they will talk about how to do a thing on your computer and they will say with the upmost confidence that this is the way to do it you know? And I’m like okay but what if the user doesn’t have a Wi-Fi connection? What if they don’t have the trackpad and can’t pinch to zoom? What if what? What if what if what if? You cocky prick.
And then you see these people make dumb ass analogies on the Internet which for some reason inspires millions of people to watch their YouTube videos. Which like yea there is a little bit of a sting to it because why can’t I do that? You know?
But anyway, I don’t care. It’s never gonna happen. I can’t be upset about it. I forgot why I started this post. Oh shit.
Wait, I’ll be back.
Oh yes, okay I remember so! I used to listen to a lot of podcasts just because I was sort of getting tired of having the same album on repeat and the only other alternative was listening to myself talk about things which is apparently not a healthy thing to do?
So I would listen to… I can’t even remember. it was Casey Neistat and some other guy. it was a very annoying podcast. Their relationship felt forced. I won’t lie because a lot of the time they had these like how do I say this? Like imagine if your insight- Imagine if your story is a bowl of soup and the richer the bowl of soup, the more flavour it packs, the more interesting interactions that you make with the ingredients -> the better the story. it was like that but their bowl of soup was literally just salted water. at best. Like they come up with these half assed infant ideas not really sure how to explain it like… it’s just very imagine seeing something, and going “wow that is a thing” and then you, the listener, are sitting there thinking “okay… but I know that’s a thing your job and the whole reason I’m listening to you, is to hear from you (who is supposed to be an expert in this field with all your connections and money and experience) you’re supposed to tell us why and how etc”
I don’t want to listen to another tech bro talk about how the block chain works and therefore bitcoin is the future. I don’t want to listen to another one of them talk about whatever the fuck the technology is behind machine learning and just use that surface level ‘abstract of an article’ explanation about the technology and then say “in summary AI is the future”. What the fuck do you get from that?
Anyway, but I stuck through with it because occasionally they would have guests that brought a little bit more insight into things (same with Kara Swisher but I gave up on her year(s?) ago because of the ego and obsessively pro-capitalism bs). I’ve had to completely stop though because so many of those Bros in the bubble are all very sympathetic to the colonial nation run by a terrorist which is currently committing a genocide. Like I understood that they were always going to be silent about topics that would I don’t know threaten technology? For example, child slavery and extortion when it comes to sourcing materials that they use to build the products that they talk about. But outright denying a genocide and saying that “they survived a holocaust and therefore everything that they do going forward is morally correct and cannot be scrutinised”??? Get fucked.

Shiba Inu auf dem Vormarsch: Neue Anwendungsmöglichkeiten durch CoinGate Integration
Die Krypto-Welt ist in ständiger Bewegung, und Shiba Inu (SHIB) ist keine Ausnahme. Dank einer bedeutenden Integration des litauischen Zahlungsanbieters CoinGate mit Polygon und Binance Smart Chain haben SHIB-Besitzer nun noch mehr Möglichkeiten, ihre Tokens im Alltag zu nutzen. Von großen Marken wie Nike bis hin zu Dienstleistungen wie Airbnb – die Anwendungsbereiche für Shiba Inu erweitern sich rasant.
Ein Meilenstein für SHIB-Besitzer
CoinGate, bekannt für seine Rolle als Brücke zwischen der Krypto- und der traditionellen Finanzwelt, hat Shiba Inu in sein Zahlungssystem integriert. Das bedeutet, dass SHIB-Besitzer ihre Kryptowährung jetzt in zahlreichen realen Transaktionen einsetzen können. CoinGate selbst äußerte sich dazu begeistert:
“Shibarmy, nutzt eure SHIB, um Airbnb zu buchen, die neuesten Spiele von Steam und PS5 zu kaufen, eure Garderobe mit Nike und Zalando aufzufrischen und mehr.”
Mehr als nur ein Memecoin
Shiba Inu arbeitet kontinuierlich daran, seinen Status als „Memecoin“ hinter sich zu lassen. Ein bedeutender Schritt in diese Richtung ist die Einführung von Shibarium, einer Ethereum Layer-2 Skalierungslösung. Dieses Upgrade, das kürzlich durch ein umfassendes Hard Fork abgeschlossen wurde, soll schnellere Transaktionen und stabilere Gasgebühren ermöglichen und damit das Nutzungserlebnis erheblich verbessern.
Vertrauen der Investoren wächst
Im April sorgte das Shiba Inu Team erneut für Schlagzeilen, als es in einer großen Finanzierungsrunde 12 Millionen USD sammelte. Diese Mittel sollen in die Entwicklung einer neuen Layer-3 Blockchain fließen. Bemerkenswert ist, dass namhafte Investoren wie Polygon Ventures, Mechanism Capital und Animoca Brands zu den Unterstützern gehören, was das wachsende Vertrauen in das Potenzial von SHIB verdeutlicht.
SHIB-Kurs stabil, aber mit Potenzial
Trotz der wachsenden Akzeptanz und den technologischen Fortschritten blieb der Kurs von Shiba Inu in letzter Zeit relativ stabil. Seit dem 7. Mai schwankte er zwischen 0,00002379 USD und 0,00002227 USD. Doch Analysten sehen Potenzial für signifikante Kursbewegungen in naher Zukunft. Ein Durchbruch könnte den Kurs auf 0,00002558 USD treiben, was eine Steigerung von über 13 Prozent bedeuten würde. Auf der anderen Seite könnte ein Rückgang den Kurs auf etwa 0,00002080 USD fallen lassen, was fast acht Prozent unter dem aktuellen Niveau liegt.
Fazit
Die Integration von Shiba Inu durch CoinGate und die kontinuierlichen Bemühungen, die Funktionalitäten und die Akzeptanz der Kryptowährung zu erweitern, markieren einen spannenden Moment für die SHIB-Community. Mit der Aussicht auf schneller und stabiler werdende Transaktionen und der Unterstützung durch bedeutende Investoren steht Shiba Inu vor einer vielversprechenden Zukunft. Bleibt abzuwarten, wie sich diese Entwicklungen auf den Kurs auswirken werden, aber eines ist sicher: Shiba Inu ist auf dem besten Weg, weit mehr als nur ein Memecoin zu sein.

quite a few trolls have physical characteristics reminiscent of their lusii, like gamzee's pupils. how does that happen? do lusii pick grubs that look like them, or are grubs influenced physically by their lusus? is my mental image of tiny baby slitherbeast verato accurate?
This is one of those things that I'll often go back and forth on depending on what seems most fun for the things I'm writing lol.
I think I tend to settle on a combination! it makes sense to me that if part of your life cycle is having a huge semi-feral animal thing adopt you and raise you as its own, it would be good for your species, kind of cuckoo-like, to have a certain amount of mimicry for creatures of their color, to make them more appealing and familiar to potential lusii. 🤔
It's also very fun to me, as a slightly out there xeno aspect, if having a specific type of lusus around when you go through first pupation from grub to something more independent could influence some of the traits of your new body!
....the concept that despite all the societal and species differences between humans and trolls, you could still look at a troll and go "...you look like your dad, lol" is incredibly charming to me in a way I don't know that I can articulate. :D
#ask time!#Would that grub have grown up to have a forked tongue and slitted pupils and a slightly unnervingly wide smile if their dad wasn't a snake#hard to say! But probably not!#and it's not like anybody in troll society gives enough of a shit to try to do like. ancestor+descendant studies#even if they had the means which considering how rare and widely-spaced those pairs seem to be. I'd imagine they generally wouldn't

After seeing your post about Sweden's human name, do you mind explaining what your favorite human names for the other Nordics are and your reasoning?
Especially Norway -- I'm still rather fond of Lukas for familiarity's sake, but would love to have a better alternative! I understand why people don't like Bondevik after a quick search. I've seen people use Thomassen recently and have started using that instead
Sure! I'll also add links to posts made by users from these countries if you need a more reliable source (except Iceland, I haven't seen an Icelandic Hetalian on Tumblr yet).
Norway
If you're looking for infomation about anything relating to Norway, not limited to names but also history, traditions and modern culture, YOU NEED TO TALK TO OUR RESIDENT NORWEGIAN @ifindus. They have done university-level research in Norwegian history and I am constantly learning new things about Norway from their posts, which says a lot as someone who has half his family from Norway. It's thanks to Findus that I learned about a very common misconception about Norwegian names that I will explain below!
Unlike people from English-speaking countries, Danes, Swedes, and Finns, Norwegians do not use "middle names" in the sense of "alternative first names that are mostly ignored except on official documentation". It's very common for creators to give Norway a name like "Lukas Øyvind Haugland" with the idea that he goes by Lukas in daily life, and Øyvind is a mostly unused middle name. But that's not how it works in Norway! Instead, both Lukas and Øyvind will be recognized as his first names of equal priority, and he will be referred to using the double name Lukas Øyvind. Findus can explain this better than I can, but you cannot simply smash two names together to form a Norwegian double name, as many name combinations, such as Lukas Øyvind, sound ridiculous. Paraphrasing Findus' words, there are no definite rules that make certain double names realistic or silly, it's mostly a feeling that the name "sounds good". There are however common patterns, such as the first half having less than or equal syllables to the second, both names having the same "vibe", and not having too many consecutive consonants.
Thanks to Findus' advice, I recently changed my name for Norway to drop the "middle names", cutting it down to Sigurd Fjellanger. Sigurd, an Old Norse name meaning "victorious guardian", is the most popular first name among Norwegian creators because of its uniqueness to Norway and use in all time periods. Fjellanger is my personal choice, as I want a nature name for Norway that refers to his home region. Nature names in Norway often indicate where a person's ancestors were from as they were historically chosen from names of towns and farmland. Fjellanger means "mountain fjord" and is associated with coastal western Norway, which is where my Sigurd's hometown is. Findus uses the last name Nordvik which means "northern bay" and is not associated with a specific region (their Norway moves around the country and does not have a fixed hometown). Patronymics (names ending in -sen) don't have strong regional associations and Thomassen is a common, neutral-sounding name.
It seems like I have unintentionally written a long post again. Other characters under the cut.
Sweden
The other Nordic countries use "middle names", but like in real life, these extra names will never be seen outside of these name posts. My full name for Sweden is Björn Axel Johan Stjernqvist because he's my country and I can make fun of him. Björn is a very Swedish Old Norse name meaning "bear" while Stjernqvist, meaning "star branch", is a lame reference to his Hetalia name that also contains the word "star". 95jezzica is from Sweden and recommends the classic Svensson as his last name, but I personally avoid giving very common names to characters in case I know or will meet someone with that name. I also prefer to choose nature names unless there is a meaningful (parental) connection to the name in the patronymic. Double names are also used in Sweden, but they are much rarer and are associated with the older generation. Swedish double names are connected with a dash rather than a space, like Lars-Erik.
Denmark
My beloved Denmark has the name Søren Mathias Holgersen. Mathias is not an Old Norse name. It originates from Latin and means "gift from God", which is what he is to me. Holgersen is a reference to the legendary Danish hero Holger Danske. Some creators think that the name Mathias is inaccurate for Denmark in all periods, but that's only true for the pre-Christianization era. There are 22,7k people currently named Mathias in Denmark in 2023 (this is not including the alternate spellings). In fact, none of the popular alternative names for Denmark that begin with M, Mikkel and Magnus, are of Old Norse origin either. But that's alright, because Denmark was the most strongly influenced by continental Europe culturally and has the weakest Norse influence out of the Scandinavians. This post by someone-you-do-not-know from Denmark discusses what's wrong with the Hetalia name suggestions for Denmark and offers additional suggestions. The OP has a personal reason for disliking the name Mathias, but the name is otherwise alright to use.
Finland
I unfortunately don't speak Finnish and don't know much about Finnish naming traditions, so I use a name that has been personally recommended by Finns and is quite close to the Hetalia name: Timo Kalevi Väisänen. The middle name Kalevi was randomly mentioned by ask-finny from Finland and I'm not particularly attached to it either, so I'm open to changing it. Nordickies is also from Finland and has made two very helpful posts about analyzing Finland's Hetalia name and resources for researching Finnish names.
Iceland
Iceland has a very strict naming law which could make choosing his name easier or more difficult depending on how you look at it. The first name Emil is permitted on Iceland, but it's a modern trend name that doesn't have an Icelandic history, its use began after the release of Astrid Lindgren's book Emil i Lönneberga. Steilsson is illegal as it would mean that Iceland's father was named Steil, which is not a permitted name (nor did it ever exist in the Nordic countries). Like Finland, I kept his Hetalia initials and gave him the name Eiríkur Stefánsson.
#ask#hetalia#hws denmark#hws sweden#hws norway#hws finland#hws iceland#aph denmark#aph sweden#aph norway#aph finland#aph iceland#character development#the more you know#long post#I just noticed the coincidence of Stjernqvist because names like these were created by smashing two often unrelated words together#but in the modern day Star and Branch are related terms#in the context of Star Branch Clone Fork Pull Request that is#Björn is a software engineer to me and I'm laughing so hard at his tangentially programmer name

I was surprised when I first heard people say the first Lord Peter Wimsey novels were too caricaturesque, because I don't remember a time I felt more identified with a character that when Lord Peter gets so focused, worried, and disturbed by his discovery of the nature of the crime in "Whose Body?" that he goes on a full blown PTSD attack. And then he is so very tired. And needs several days of rest to recover. But he's talking it in the exasperated philosophy of "going on a stupid little walk for my stupid mental health". Extremely relatable to me, whatever that says about my mental health state.
#like I had a bit of a crisis a few days ago and had to go to the polyclinic to get a sedative#(I am drinking sleepytime tea every day and having a very controlled intake of caffeine anyways)#and I absolutely knew this was going to happen with the stress of thesis writing and meeting deadlines#my brain interprets any stress tension as immediate severe danger#and it starts looking for causes and oh my doesn't it have a repertoire of apocalyptic scenarios both domestic and cataclysmic#And I manage it most of the time#but the balance act itself is tiresome#And as real as the panic feels every single time in its reasons#and as hard as I have to struggle to convince myself it's just my brain reacting in pathological ways#I'm so tired and so tired of it making me tired#but we plod on#through the cycle of#what happened to me when I was a teen was indeed traumatic and part of it remains unprocessed#and it wasn't traumatic and you are just a forking wuss#Anyways if nobody gets my my man Lord Peter gets me
