Okay, so... Pi is an infinite noise generator. If you go 6,987,540 digits down the decimals, you'll find specific values. With accurate enough, powerful enough computers, that becomes an infinite ticker tape where everyone has access to the whole thing.

The fun part is, if you were to multiply and/or exponent Pi, those two values (such as 376π^-671e) can be used to "tune in" to different "bands" of that radio frequency. With a powerful enough, accurate enough computer, I could enter... hell, QUADRABYTES of data and get some kind of absolute garglemesh of math based on a pre-determined format of modifiers of Pi.

The person on the receiving end takes those values into account when un-encrypting the data, and as long as my encryption is properly un-encrypted based on some kind of universal standard, they would have "received" those quadrabytes of data by just transmitting a simple (well, obtuse and complicated, but simple for machines) formula.

IN FACT, if your encoded formula was too long, say thousands of digits long, you could in fact enter that encryption key as the new data and get a much shorter formula that then just has to be un-zipped twice. Assuming a standardized approach to those kinds of programs it's not hard to imagine us even transmitting video, first encoded into numerical digits (even if it comes down to ones and zeroes) and then sent by just sending a simple mathematical formula that relies on the infinite nature of Pi.

Kickichens are flightless birds native to southern Garglemesh, particularly the Hourglass Valley. Some adults can grow to be larger than wolves, and they are quite aggressive and territorial.

Kickichens are most famous for their powerful legs, which they readily employ to kick intruders who stray too close to their nests. Kickichen drumsticks are a common meal in the town of Tumblemill, where they are typically served with a side of wild Bridge Fruit (which, as we all know, are fruit necessary to grow bridges, frequently employed by the riverside-adjacent citizens of Tumblemill).

David Davis, my least favourite growth from the wobbling mass of Conservative incompetence

I had something of a rage-palm today. I was reading about Double D’s refusal to hand over documents he said the government has commissioned into the impact of Brexit. The Committee for Exiting the EU’s head Hillary Benn had demanded the files were handed over, or the government would be found in contempt of Parliament. Double D had previously claimed that the government had performed internal studies into the impact of Brexit on 58 sectors. Now he has admitted that those documents don’t exist, and instead there is a morass of “a wide mix of qualitative and quantitative analysis contained in a range of documents”. He said he needs “time to collate and bring together this information in a way that is accessible and informative for the committee”.   He has also asked for assurances from Hillary Benn that this information will not enter the public domain. ::RAGEPALM::

Where to even begin with this garglemesh? David Davis has mislead the committee about the nature of the documentation and quality of research the Government has done, which IN CASE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN has been his basis for trying to say that the British Government knows what it is doing and is going to get the best deal for Britain in the Brexit negotiations. Those documents don’t exist in the way the Government presented them, and they certainly don’t say what the Government wants them to say. But that doesn't matter. The narrative the Brexiteers are so determined to push doesn't need any actual evidence, they seem to have the rock-hard certainty and zealous fire normally associated with evangelical Christianity. Double D is the tip of the iceberg, the yellowing, ripe head on the huge boil that is the Conservative Party, living proof that Brexit is built on lies and misinformation and no concrete evidence. 

So, why won’t the government release the documents? It’s because they don’t say anything positive, or even a bit negative, about Brexit. They must clearly state that Brexit is going to be an unmitigated disaster, because why else would the Government be avoiding releasing them? If the documents do say that Brexit is gonna fuck us all over, the Government doesn’t want that to be known by the EU, because that ruins our negotiating position, when our negotiating position is made entirely out of drunken bluster, right wing paranoia and patriotism. 

So, the Government doesn't want these documents in the public domain. That would be the end of it, if it wasn't for the fact the British electorate has been put through 2 separate votes almost entirely about this issue, and entirely for the benefit of the Tory Party. First the Referendum, then the General Election. The Referendum was called with the sole purpose of unifying the Party, so David Cameron could tell the Eurosceptics to shut up about it because the matter was settled and the electorate didn’t want to leave the EU - he never expected a Leave vote to win. No one really did. It’s amazing what the right wing media can achieve when they have a few years to push a narrative, particularly when they are owned and funded by billionaires trying to avoid paying tax. And of course, the General Election was called by Theresa May because she saw an opinion poll that suggested she’d win by a landslide if she called one. Such a shame that the rules about non-biased political reporting then kicked in and forced the media to present the Labour Party as a genuine alternative to the current Government, instead of the bonkers Marxist socialists the Daily Mail kept telling their audience about. Both of these votes had been wrapped in the Union Jack. Patriotism has been co-opted by the right wing yet again, and anyone who voted against leaving the EU and against the Tories, has been accused of being unpatriotic over and over. After all these self-serving attempts to go to the country (but only to get the answer they wanted) I don’t think the Government deserves to tell us that we aren’t allowed to know what these documents say. We deserve to have the facts about how leaving the EU is going to impact upon all of us, after being treated with such disdain by this Government.

//I actually had no idea Rex based her password off of the real password in the game! I thought it was garglemesh, but they don’t have Loch answering the questions. So, out of context it sounds stupid. But not so when you do so in game.

((Yep, those’re Team Skull’s canon passwords!  They’re supposed to be monthly, and I assume they’re, like, nonsensical things about Guzma because Loch’s probably responsible for the questions tbh. How tall is Master Guzma? TELL ME HIS SHOE SIZE. IF YOU DON’T KNOW HIS EXACT WEIGHT FROM BEFORE DINNER LAST TUESDAY YOU DON’T GET TO SEE HIM.  But, yeah, out of context, without being asked the questions, it is kind of nonsensical lmao.  Shhhh it’s implied!!  LET LOCH PRETEND HE’S ABLE TO METAPHYSICALLY DO HIS JOB.))

There's something to this.

I can remember once reading an article about blind folk gaining the ability to "see". They were then being shown a series of simple objects and, on sight alone, being asked which one is the cube. They couldn't do it. Their brains didn't understand what "cube" looks like, and it makes perfect sense if you take a moment to think about it.

It's a new stream of information that their brain hadn't learned to process yet. The same thing happens whenever any of us encounters something unknown, whether its processing an entirely new sense, learning a language, trying to figure out what that strange smell is, meeting someone new, or interpreting "Yo. Dis hype, tweeked, fort streamer got his builds on FLEEEEEK!!! *Vanilla Ice Posture(tm)*" (It hurt my brain to write that. Fortnight's still a thing, right?) Your brain will figure it out in time, but until it recognizes the patterns, it's all just so much background noise. And if you don't believe me, treat any major city's properly engineered, organized, and frequently utilized subway system like the well trod paths in your home; you'll end up dizzy, mugged, or on Ka-za-ga-wii(?) street in Chinatown with no cell reception or access to Google and then you'll be truly buggered! (Ask me how I know.)

The second point deals with the concept of treating people in this situation as "normal now". Dear God. Don't do this! They are not now "normal". They will never be "normal". And neither will YOU! (Put DOWN the Haterade! I'll explain!) What this previously, in this case anyway, "deaf" person now has is an augmentation. To whit, they are a perfectly fine, delightful individual who can now see that rabbit that is really far away because they have binoculars now. To a hawk however, that rabbit was perfectly visible the entire time from even further away, and yet you wouldn't consider yourself abnormal.

The same mindset be applied to any other handicap. I, for example, have an involuntary stammer when I think too hard and it is frustrating as hell! Do you think I enjoy being around smooth speaking, poised, and collected individuals when I suddenly have too much thought coming down the pipe and "wuh ba dee ah bah do badammit sorry" and now I'm "that awkward guy"? It sucks! The fun part is, there's not a heck of a lot I can do about it. I can "git gud" at speaking, and usually I'm alright, but trying to focus on "don't garglemesh!" just causes it to happen more frequently. I'm awkward. I accept it. And that's ok. It still sucks, but its ok.

To bring this rambling diatribe back to where I started, I have a very dear friend who has a cochlear implant as in this article and she's had it as long as I've known her (almost 25 years now). She also has the same general speech impediment as me but for a different reason; when you're trying to hear yourself speak, noise cancellation technology is a pain in the ass! But the thing is, she does the same "aww dammit" eye roll she's been doing since she was 8 and I think its adorable. When it happens, in the back of my mind, I think "Aww, I know how that feels. Keep goin! You can do it!" and I would never ask her to see herself as anything other than the wonderful, beautiful, intelligent person she is.

In the immortal words of Pauley Shore "Normal is boring!" And when it comes to people, we should really learn to abandon the concept of a "normal" person. After all, sunsets are a normal event that constantly happens somewhere in the world all the time, and has for billions of years and I still think of them as beautiful.

Different anon. I searched that garglemesh and it's either a meme or a quote. There's a 4chan video game thread with almost the same sentence.

and thus another mystery is solved

This is a Freend, a monster from my Garglemesh fantasy setting.

Freends are lesser Demons that live deep underground, in the bowels of the world (specifically the Stomach and Small Intestine). They enjoy swimming and cavorting in the giant acid pools of their home. Freends are not known to be freendly, and some can even act rather freendish. They like to play pranks and cause mischief when they can, and then share a good laugh about it together at their victim’s expense.

Freend sightings on the surface world are rare. Although a curious and/or lost Freend may occasionally make its way to the surface through a series of twisting caverns, most Freends that you encounter were likely called by some summoner. Due to the nature of the laws of Time and Space in the world of Garglemesh, there is no way to transport matter instantly from one location to another without using the Space Crystal. Because of this, summoning is a laborious process that does not produce fast results. Amateur summoners are often disappointed to learn that their summoned Freend will take two to three weeks to arrive at their doorstep.

Freends like to congregate around places of dark magic and sinister auras. There have been several Freend sightings in the forests south of the Garglemesh capital. There are whispers of a dark magician there, living in the Evil Log Cabin deep in the woods.

fabullisnova​:

     Before his passing, she remembers with clarity how Grandpa told her to live life to the fullest — she should be thriving with energy and dreams and hopes like any other six year old girl. She sometimes forgets her status as a six year old with how she’s already living on her own with a full-time job of watching the bridge and Alexander, and honestly it goes without saying that Eiko’s anything but a normal six year old girl by now. Still, six is her age — and she likes the idea of having friends. Having Moogles and mirages for friends are guaranteed to be fun, but she thinks it’d be more fun to have a friend who’s, y’know, people. People who, y’know, didn’t disappear after saving Grymoire from impending doom and is still missing to this day. ( Hauyn and Tama don’t have any updates either… ) Eiko raises a finger, then offers, ❛  How about after we finish shopping then? Fenrir’s a little lazy during noon time, so no doubt he’s wandering this time of day.  ❜ She can already tell Fenrir would love Sarah. That big ol’ furry softie. 

     Sarah probably doesn’t know, but EIko’s honestly trying to do semi-good job of hiding her snickers right now. Yeah right, Sarah — those glances at him can’t possibly mean anything at all. Bah! She inwardly shakes her head, though she supposes it’s quite endearing. Princess Sarah’s heart, captured by a dashing and handsome member of her guards, one who is still currently on duty by keeping an eye on her. Gee, it makes her feel a tiny bit jealous because when will Eiko ever find someone as handsome and loyal as the Fella with Horns?! Fate is cruel, and it shows! She fakes a cough, amused. ❛  Alright, I’ll drop it since it’s supposed to be a girls day today — but mark my words, this discussion isn’t over yet!  ❜ A girls day entails plenty of bonding activities like shopping and, of course, boys talk. Not even the princess can go against sacred traditions like these!

     Eiko gives a pleasant nod, smiling appreciatively for the kindness. ❛  It’s okay if there’s not much to do around here. The whole point of having friends over is that we have fun, after all!  ❜ And really, fun is something she’s short on. So what if Cornelia doesn’t have talking magic wells? It was pretty fun uncovering that mystery anyway. ❛  Thank you, Sarah. I can’t remember the last time I stepped away from Alexander just to visit a town, so I appreciate that you’re taking the time to accommodate me. I wish I could make it up to you somehow…  ❜ She can’t offer to introduce her friend to the bridge since, well… There’s nothing else to do there than to chat with Alexander, and only EIko can actually ‘talk’ with him.

"Oh, I'd like that very much!" She responds after hearing Eiko's offer. Like earlier in their visit, the only mirages that Sarah had any contact with in the vicinity of the kingdom's walls were Moogles and Chocobos. Of course that didn't count the Cactuar Conductor who had a strange relationship with the twins - specifically Reynn. It almost reminded her of a relationship between a father and daughter. 

Meeting a large mirage like Fenrir was.. Well, it was sure to be something else. The only other large mirage she could think of in close proximity was Ragnarok -  if you didn't count Ifrit, Shiva, and Ramuh, of course. "Should I bring him a present as well? I'm not really too sure what I could bring. Perhaps you could share some of his likings with me?"

Sneaking one last glance towards a certain someone, she turns back to her friend, eyes wide. "D-discussion? Whatever do you mean?" There was absolutely nothing going on between the two of them - nothing at all. She didn't understand why Eiko was so adamant about it though. Her thoughts drift to the twins and she remembers how even Reynn tried to... what was that saying some of the townsfolk were keen on using? Oh yes. Even Reynn tried to 'play it cool' around her when it came to him. She didn't understand why. Or rather she had a teeny, tiny small inkling but it wasn't something she was even sure of herself - at least not yet. 

She gives Eiko a smile upon hearing Eiko's heartful thanks for a day around the kingdom. Truthfully, she wished there was more that she could show her friend in town. Short of the plains and the caves, there wasn't much else to see. Though she had heard word from Hauyn and Tama about a mysterious portal in the plains. They'd said something about a lost knight or some such thing. Could it be-? but she just shakes her head dismissing the thought. 

"You are most welcome, Eiko. Though I am regretful there isn't more for us to do, I am glad that you are enjoying your time in Cornelia. And do not worry about any such thing. Getting to meet Fenrir and spending time with you today is all that I could ask for."
