Voyager scene. Seven of Nine (tertiary adjunct of unimatrix 01) is pictured. She has a dolphin shaped metal robotic implant around her left eye because she is a borgs. Closed caption reads, "Fun will now commence."

My favorite part of PokΓ©mon is looking through the list and seeing one that’s ’a fun cat who likes water’ followed by β€˜a daemon engine made of ancient blood stone and fueled by the wailing souls of dead pikachus.’

β€˜Did an alert pop up?’ Uh no

β€˜Did something else happen indicating it was EDR?’ No…

β€˜Did anything at all happen that would make you think it was blocked?’ Uhh not really it just didn’t work.

β€˜I don’t think it was EDR’
Can you just go through hours of logs to be sure?

You know that old comic about stores where a customer asks if they can look for a product in the back and the employee just walks through the door, stands for a bit, then comes back to say β€˜nope didn’t see it’ ?

That’s me when a IT person asks if EDR blocked something they were doing.

Just my own experience here but Alpha male type generally really hate when a women can do nothing better then them so this is just confusing.

Like why are you looking for someone who gets mad when you are good at a thing you enjoy?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it’s the fascism. You’re completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you’re also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you’re going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Also, it assumes a current capitalist view point where any money given must be used to further production. Because the point of life is to be β€˜productive’ in their mind so a new bass is a waste, despite the joy it might bring you.

Yeah I don’t think I’d go back to rewatch or finish but I enjoyed it at the time and place I was at when I first watched it.

Very similar to How I Met Your Mother. I was in a much different place when I first got into it and when I came back around for a rewatch I realized it wasn’t for me now.

The first season was inspirational at times, especially the very end with the running metaphor but only from a very board β€˜it’s ok to mess up as long as you learn and try better’ sense.

But after that it’s exactly what you said and I honestly stopped watching after the episode you describe above.

Look I get this is terrible from a β€˜what is truth’ perspective but it is incredible as a set of thought experiments or writing prompts.

I mean what would β€˜The Last Algorithm’ in the style of Andy Weir look like???

I’ll add that full forensic investigation by cybersecurity people can take 2-3 months depending on the scale.
