the assisted dying debate is so crazy
because i do fundamentally believe everyone should have the right to die when they want.
BUT if they legalise assisted suicide in the UK right now i don't trust our ableist fucking government to not just start coercing disabled people into suicide to save money. they already won't give them enough money to live.

If your fic is 1000 words long, you can’t tag it slow burn. It’s not slow burn. That is a matchstick. And this is my personal bias here but if those motherfuckers you’re writing experience significant forward momentum in their relationship in under 5k words, then that is just a regular old burn. Slow burn should be borderline intolerable and a mistake to start reading at 2 in the morning.

jason and reyna as praetors knew their rank was a death mark.
golden laurels, lightweight and always glinting, a giveaway in a fight, a good mark for archer to aim, a shining fucking bait, and they had to wear them everywhere of importance as its written in the law of the new rome.
octavian wasn't aiming for praetorhood because of idle dream - his cousins from second cohort literally held the position for 6 years as he was growing up. his family was hoping that once they were removed from the rank - either by death or choice - they could have another praetor loyal to them by blood.
joy and peter weren't even twenty one when monsters caught them coming from the quest near the river. there were no eyewitnesses to testify what kind of monsters, the only thing gleaned post factum that there were at least three.
getting killed by three monsters when there's two of you even if you were worn out by fights before is not a good death by roman standarts.
jason will carry the memory of praetors bodies brought into the city to his grave, reeking of blood and pus and poison. peter's head was smashed throgh with a bit of the railing. gold glinted, mocking.
when they got crowned amidst the screaming 5th cohort - first praetors for the the last 50 years! - both of them didn't smile.
every single time reyna looked at octavian wearing laurels she would see his cousin bloated face, black with half of the eyeball missing and ears torn out. joy did not look anything like him, except they had the same ears, and walked same, and had one look of disgust for two of them.

Not to be full of hope and joy, but I imagine that once they're fully grown and have become used to spending a lot of time apart and living their own lives, Phineas and Ferb's reunions naturally devolve into sportily tackling each other at first sight; just slapping each other's backs and rolling around in the dirt like a couple of big puppies.

There should totally be a movement called “Sleep in Public” where people defend their right to sleep on public property. Sleep in your cars. Sleep on benches. Sleep at the park. Just make it a mundane and regular part of life to see someone napping in the library. It would make it much harder to single out the homeless for harassment if everyone else is doing the same thing and much harder to argue that it’s a “threat to public safety” when it’s so clearly harmless.

“ The odds of guessing a four-digit passcode are 1 in 10,000, and tools have been used to crack iPhone codes in the past. Apple says the chances of someone having a similar enough fingerprint to unlock a person’s phone is 1 in 50,000, and a similar enough random face tricking Face ID is 1 in 1,000,000 “
that’s a really funny way of framing it, to make it look like passcodes are weak. you know what’s twice as good as the odds given for fingerprints? a 5 digit passcode! what’s equal to the odds given for Face ID? a 6 digit passcode! every time you add a digit, you multply those odds by 10.
and that’s assuming simple numeric passcodes. the odds of guessing a 4 digit, case-sensitive, alphanumeric passcode would be a 1 in 14.7 million. 5 digits is over 1 in 916 million, 6 digit is 1 in 56.8 billion. if you throw in 32 common symbols, we get 1 in 78 million, 1 in 7.3 billion, and 1 in 689 billion. those numbers climb pretty quickly the more digits you add.
i know these aren’t the only issues with passcodes (like 24% of americans using a variation of just 8 common passcodes), but if you’re trying to push people to biometrics i guess you wouldn’t really care for that nuance anyway
