Ask@piefed.social•Where there people in the 1980's who refused to call 3.5" floppy disks floppy disks?English
1·12 days agoYar. The actual disk itself was indeed floppy. The cartridge is not the disk.
One isekai webnovel I read had the protagonist constantly terrified of having his mind read by someone with enough knowledge to piece together nuclear physics from what little he knew via pop culture. Figured it would completely upset the balance of power in a world that didn’t even have gunpowder. He collected every mental defense item he could get and tried the best he could to avoid mind mages.
Then he got imprisoned and interrogated by a government official who was also the most powerful mind mage in the world.
They laughed at his concern. A high enough level fireball spell was already on that scale.
Slow tail curls = happy and interested.
Fast tail whips / tip twitches = irritated.

Everybody fantasizes about going on a rampage with a killdozer against their persecutors, real or imagined. Dude was in the wrong every step of the way, no doubt, but he took a stand in a way that really captures the imagination.

Could be worse. I once received a Saturday detention for “defiance” because I pointed out a mistake the teacher had made on an algebra problem.

Ask@piefed.social•People who have a good sense of direction, do you still have it in your dreams?English
5·2 months agoIt fucking SUCKED, and still does.
It still strikes me at odd times while driving that I have no idea which direction I’m actually going. During the first few years of adjustment I actually managed to get going the wrong way on the freeway and didn’t immediately realize it. I had to get a GPS specifically for that reason. Not to plan my route, but just to remind me where I am and where I’m going.
I cope pretty well now. I had to develop habits that were entirely unnecessary before, like memorizing turns to make sure I’m going the right way when I leave a place I’ve gone to for the first time.

Ask@piefed.social•People who have a good sense of direction, do you still have it in your dreams?English
8·2 months agoI had “north sense” for most of my life, but it abruptly turned off while driving one day in my 30s. It was extremely disorienting and distressing. It was gone for a couple years, suddenly came back one day, which was an incredible feeling, like regaining an entire limb I had lost. It went away again the next day, and for the next month I got occasional flashes of it, then it was gone for good. It’s been a decade now and the world still feels wrong. There’s places I go to that don’t seem like the same place because my earlier memories include the directional layout, so now it feels uncanny-valley off.
In my dreams, I still have my directional sense, just like any other sense. I imagine it’s like anyone else with a lost sense, your dreams hallucinate your perception of the world to properly match your prior experience.

I ran into some app a while back that required 2fa “text you a code” to log in every time.
If you put in the wrong password, it still sent you the 2fa… Which it would accept for login.
I’m honestly not sure if it ever even checked the password.
