  • I drew a picture of the structure of the earth according to ancient arabian cosmology.

    explanation

    On the top is Earth, which is flat. there are actually 7 Earths, but I was too lazy to draw the rest

    The Earth by its self is unstable. Without support, it would fall out of the sky. That is why god created an angel to hold the Earth up.

    The angel, not being able to fly for some reason, needed footing to stand on. So god created a giant rock of ruby for the angel to plant their feet and hold up the earth.

    Much like the earth though, the ruby could also fall. God being all knowing and all wise understood this and created a bull of galactic proportions. The bull’s name was Kuyutha and it is said to have four thousand eyes, noses, ears, mouths and feet. To get a grasp of its size, know that between each foot is the diameter of the earth.

    Yet this structure can still fall.

    Thankfully, god stepped in and created Bahamut, the cosmic fish. And around and underneath Bahamut, water.

    This is what we know of the earths structure. Anything below Bahamut and its water is the dark abyss of the unknown. Some say the 7 hells can be found in the darkness, but no one truly knows for sure.

    We definitely know about the fish though. The fish is real as fuck and I’m so glad I can count on it to hold us up. Thank you Bahamut the big fish.






  • whole workplace just got fired

    My workplace just shut down abruptly - the whole business, gone. In other words - I’m out a job now.

    I heard they hired some consultants to help restructure the business. Maybe that was a sign I should have updated my résumé? But I understood that if I were fired, then the business was fucked. My job was only worth 17$, but it was one of the many pillars in my department that could not break. “They can’t fire me,” I thought. I guess it was naïve of me to think that toppling the structure wasn’t an option.

    Filing for unemployment is always the most tedious shit. I’m not looking forward to it.

    I had 71 hours worth of vacation time. I had scheduled some PTO in the morning. Approved in the afternoon. Valueless in the evening.

    From the owner, “For you it’s your jobs. For us it was everything”

    Fuck you.

    Two of my checks bounced back. You better have my money.












  • yeonmi-park “One of the big problems in North Korea was a fertilizer shortage … so the government came up with a campaign to fill the fertilizer gap with a local and renewable source: human and animal waste. Every worker and school child had a quota to fill.”

    “Our bathrooms in North Korea were usually far away from the house, so you had to be careful that the neighbors didn’t steal from you at night. Some people would lock up their outhouses to keep the poop thieves away. At school the teachers would send us out into the streets to find poop and carry it back to class. So if we saw a dog pooping in the street, it was like gold. My uncle in Kowon had a big dog who made a big poop and everyone in the family would fight over it. This is not something you see every day in the West.”



  • I’ve been using Freetube for a while now and i cannot recommend it enough. It doesn’t push you any content aside from the creators you’ve subscribed to, It looks clean and has great theme customization, its ad-free and of course its FOSS.

    Like invidious, Freetube won’t use your data to recommend you an infinite stream of curated content for you to consume. I’ve found myself watching a video and just being satisfied there, with one video. I couldn’t handle that before. Youtube’s clever algorithm would never let me watch just one video if I had the time for 2 or 3 or 20. And having a subscriber only feed gave me total control over how much reactionary content I see. Its a complete 180 from the standard youtube experience.
