“and, I guess, I’m definitely a varashi”
“I guess it’s possible you’re _not_, but that kind of thing is really unlikely. to the point where it’s expensive to check because nobody’s prepared the spells to do so for, like, the last thousand years, because there’s been no need”
“damn”
“if you were only here because you misread the prophecy I might as well let you go, it would be kind of rude to slay you”
“ha, thanks. next time I come back with a non-varashi?”
“yeah, maybe next time 😄” (2/2)
“you fool!” said the villain “no man can slay me!”
“I am no man” said the hero
“Okay I get that but actually the prophecy says no _varashi_ can slay me, like all prophecies it’s just glossed from the original angelic, and...”
“oh, shit, really? I was kind of banking on there being that kind of loophole. varashi means, like, “mortal” or something?”
“yeah, kind of, it’s like a type of soul I guess, angels use it for classification” (1/) #noxp
“you fool!” said the villain “no man can slay me!”
“I am no man” said the hero
“Okay I get that but actually the prophecy says no _varashi_ can slay me, like all prophecies it’s just glossed from the original angelic, and...”
“yeah that’s what I meant, I’m not a varashi”
“huh, weird, didn’t think you guys incarnated on this plane any more”
and then she blasted him with her eye lasers
Infinity Train: Book 4
@Azure reading Owen's AMA (https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityTrain/comments/mrrwrm/i_am_owen_dennis_creator_of_infinity_train_on/) and just seeing all the "that would have been covered in book 5" ;-;
@Azure Tell me about magnetars!
@vortex_egg What does game theorising away mean in this context? Like making the explicit utilitarian cost-benefit calculation?
@fluffy hi! how are you? also, what is best in life?
@urshanabi crack open a can of SENS and pass the buck onto my future self

I have images back! The problem was that the security certificate expired 12 days ago (cc @locus fyi), I enabled them by opening up an image directly in my browser and clicking "view anyway"
"federated" is kind of lame because that's unfiltered and just has a lot of people from a lot of instances
hey maybe follow fridays could help with some of this this, spread ppl to follow through word of mouth like in the good old days
one thing I feel is missing from mastodon (which might be good that its missing ?? from a "no algorithmic newsfeeds >:(" pov) is I don't feel like I can easily discover new people to follow, like the set of people that I'm following here is basically just people who I recognize from Twitter and I find new people to follow in general at all by seeing who looks cool on Twitter
