Memetics research is, today, a much-diminished science from when it was at its peak. In mid-2008 there existed more than 400 institutions pursuing research likely to uncover […], including government agencies, military branches, private corporations, independent laboratories, university research projects and notable amateur groups. Many of these were GOIs or internal divisions within GOIs. None of these groups still exist, except for the Foundation's Antimemetics Division.
— Five Five Five Five Five, qntm
Roughly 1 in 10 Foundation employees do not, in actuality, exist. Simple surveys of site planning and capacity documents (available to all personnel with security clearance level 1 or above), compared to informal polling of site population numbers, reveal that on average, Foundation facilities operate at roughly 60% capacity (10% fewer than mainstream models show without correction factors), with facilities linked to the Antimemetics and Counterconceptual divisions at roughly 10% and 40%, respectively.
Or, at least, that's how it seemed. Things you can't remember seem to disappear - for however much we think of ourselves, we never really outgrew 'peekaboo!' ... The facilities and people made invisible to humanity at large obviously had to still be *somewhere*.
Moreover, we certainly hadn't outgrown any youthful hubris - we assumed we could understand the enemy when we could barely even understand the enemy's tools. Certainly, if anything, if any ridiculous organisation, organ, or organism, were to be so arrogant enough to erase from knowability entire facilities, persons, events, or even concepts... which else could it be but our very own Foundation?
In any case, now we've finally organised (through some extremely desperately one-sided bargaining, and, it is likely, annoyance) an interdepartmental liason office with the ██████████████ Department. [Ugh, I hate how it does that.] Currently, the office is located on our site [do we really only have one site?], though it's entirely possible our proposals to send some exchange staff were accepted and we simply aren't capable of knowing it. Yeah. It's slow progress - trying to figure out how to avoid doing anything they'd need to redact, while they obviously can't communicate to us anything relevant.
Apparently lots of people that we've never met really missed us on the other side.

I got potential news (not happy, but I mean not sad). Latest justice in the dark (rumor) updates: was taken down due to legal issues (likely copyright) and they do plan to re air from the beginning at a later date once issue is taken care of and cdrama airing timing is right. Rumor is actors were requested to rake down their farewell letters. Meaning... the show is back in hiatus. Like the past several months. Except now the 8 episodes can only be watched on unofficial sites in the meantime.
Schrodingers cat isn't probably the right comparison but like. It's the potentially perpetual unknown status show. ToT
Anyway I saw 2 posts on weibo which were rumor only, mentioning airing later, and one post on weibo mentioning the reason for taking the show off was copyright issues.
On mydramalist comments someone mentioned a Twitter thread on why it was taken down, but I can't see shit on Twitter right now so im just going by what the comment said. The Twitter thing they quoted: Cao5903 (@cao5903) Staff Youku said: "Due to some unexpected reasons that could not be controlled in time, we had to take down #JusticeInTheDark to handle it. Wait for it to be okay and then replay it from the beginning."

a strictly theoretical (for now) question, but
if, theoretically, one was to write a fic in which a guy is accosted and pressed into the wall by a taller, stronger coworker (who then proceeds to feel him up and rub his dick against his ass), stammers and offers weak protests (ie what are you doing, people are going to see us etc), panics and protests loudly & tearfully when he thinks the other guy is going to fuck him, and comes hard from being fucked between the thighs, THEN breaks down crying, alarming the guy and some others, and for a while is p much unable to voice that he enjoyed it and his breakdown was caused by adrenaline and not like, actual "i've been raped and i hate it" tears, + optionally later he explains that he was actually crazy into it but couldn't say it,
