Fawkes's Interests

General |
I have always been entranced by mythological imaginations of technology which does not yet have solid grounds -- visions of computers yet to be.

Vidya | All time favorites:

Music |
Current fav:

|
Movies |
Once upon a time, I would only watch movies that had been influential since their release, but also weren't any older than like five years out of the theater. Now I run two distinct movie clubs where the audience decides on the movie every week, so I am beyond genre or understandable selection criteria.

Television |
Girls und Panzer, Bee & Puppycat, Regular show, infinity train, rvb, Adventure Time, SEL, boondocks, Mr. Robot, Futurama, Azumanga Daioh. |

Books |
I read sci-fi, fantasy, and weird pdfs I find on the internet.

Heroes |
Edward Snowden, Terry A. Davis, K, Guy Fawkes (hence the handle), every last weirdo who died in the Waco Siege, John Isidore, the Master Control Program, Lain's dad, Cloudy J, Lighter Than Some, Sgt. Avery Johnson, Al Gore, Arby of Arby's lore, Maelcum of Zion, Nemu. |

Fawkes's Blurbs
About me:
I am made of loose threads, bent pins, the magic touch, and some sheer stubbornness.
I spend a lot of time writing down that I should do things and less time doing them. For a very long time this profile bio was simple because It's hard to find the right way to explain yourself for others. I think my old intro was mostly helpful for the very few people who are me.
I'm a computer guy first, a gamer second, and a wizard third.
I try to be good, but it's hard and sometimes it feels like there's too much good to do. I try to be deliberate and contemplative, but it's hard and sometimes there's too much at hand to consider all carefully. I try to be consistent with my beliefs and actions, but it's hard and sometimes I forget my own preferences and betray them. I ask that you understand and hope that you can forgive.
I grew up with limited tools, but an environment in which I was generally allowed to do as I pleased with the tools I was given. I like to think that having to make my own fun often as a child guided the attitudes that I have towards my things today. It's rare that I don't tinker with my possessions to get them just right for me and once they are right for me, I try to repair and maintain them for as long as possible. Every time I visit my hometown my mom makes me buy new shoes because I'll wear a pair until I can't sew or glue them back together anymore.
I prefer to leave comments in public instead of using dms, as I like jumping into public conversations and having my conversations jumped into. Feels very open and welcoming to me, where leaving comments on empty profiles feels like shouting into the void sometimes.
I promise that I'm easy to talk to. I imagine that I can be kinda intimidating, but feel free to strike up conversation about any of my interests, your interests, or otherwise. To avoid feeling like I'm spamming people, I often treat commenting as a game of turns, so if you haven't gotten a comment in a while, it's because I'm trying to avoid being annoyingly chatty. Just hmu and I'll be on it.
PGP key if you need it.
Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet people who want to use this site as an actual social media. I'm not here for nostalgia, nor am I here for custom css webpages (slick as fuck tho). I'm on spacehey because I legitimately believe that this iteration of social media was the healthiest we will ever get.
So add me if you think I'm cool and I'll add you back if I feel the same way. I keep my friends list small because I try to interact with my friends fairly often. This used to say daily, but that was a stick that burnt at both ends.

What is the superior tootsie roll format? The small cylindrical ones? The long cylinders? The slabs? Tootsie pops? |

Your background makes me think about 9/11, and it seems like a 9/11 joke to me. |

tootsie rolls are like the most mediocre candy. do you genuinely enjoy them? yea the fruity ones are def better than the regular chocolate. and the longer ones somehow taste better than the regular sized ones |

How would you spend your last day on Earth? I'd do a shit ton of drugs and tell my friends and family I love them, and then I'd cry a whole bunch. I'm not for the dramatics. I'd keep living like normal, honestly, which kinda says a lot about me.. I'm not sure if you meant to imply that my response was dramatic, so I'll clarify that the drugs and crying would probably be in my room on my own, so to other people I would just be extending my appreciation before the apocalypse. can you tell me what livin normal would imply on the final day of life? Are we thinking "going to your job" normal or "just playin some vidya gaems and watching tee-vee" normal? 1. To be fair, with all the 'crying and telling your friends and family you loved them and stuff,' I thought you were all gonna be grouped up while you spent your last couple of hours on earth together. But yeah I completely agree, I'm spending my final day ALONE |

Who's in your nightmare blunt rotation? Richard Posner. Once upon a time I would have been on a level of intellectual rigor to spar with him about why I hate his takes on the intersections between constitutional law and surveillance, but I could no longer hold my own in that debate. |

If you were a senator (god forbid), what would you put in your candy desk? Are there.... un-American Tootsie Rolls? Tootsie rolls are unique for being made in the US. Not that they are the only candy made in the US, but one of few that are from large enough brands to be found in your average grocery store. More than that, they're made in Chicago, the heart of the rust belt no less! |

New layout is oddly comforting, I really like what you’ve done with the place. New write up is stellar, woah… It's funny that despite never having been an apple guy, I do find myself drawn to some of their older visual designs. I'm glad you like the changes to the profile! |

redesign lookin swag as always, i remember back when there was some macroblank on the music section ─‿─ I probably should have logged my history of current favorites somewhere at somepoint, but it's all in my giga-playlist so it's not like it couldn't be found. i would've also liked to do this but as it stands i change the music playing somewhere between too frequently and not frequently enough to remember which ones i've played before I don't know what comes next. Do you think we can ask Audrey for help since she's a math major? It just occurred to me that I'm also a math major so I guess it's just not in the curriculum. YOU'VE GOT IT. GRUG YOU FIGURED IT OUT! THE NEXT NUMBER WAS 5!!!!! Does that make it my turn again or have we co-opted Audrey into this debacle? Well the way I see it, our goal was to get past eight, which requires getting to eight, and we're not there yet, so there must be a direction for us to progress. these must be the ancient incantations wizards used to go higher than 8, surely this will be the key to our success he did modulo 3 then modulo 5. im just trying to understand what he w as trying to say oh i think we are evaluating this differently. i was treating the equals sign as congruency, basically saying 8 and 5 are in the same congruence class modulo 3, so 8 and 5 are congruent and therefore (jokingly) 8=5. i wasnt literally saying that 5mod3=8 haha I think we understood that 8=5 was the joke, but not how you got to the punchline. yea that makes sense. computing a modular operation and evaluating a modular congruence are very different things that look similar congruence basically means two or more things are equivalent. in the context of modular arithmetic, numbers are congruent to each other under the same modulus if their remainder is the same. 5mod3=2 and 8mod3=2 so 8 and 5 are congruent mod3. the symbol for congruence is like = but with a third line. so we could say 8=(imagine there is a third line here)5mod3. in fact, there are infinitely many integers that are congruent to 5mod3. the collection of all the numbers with remainder 2 with modulus 3 forms whats called a congruence class. for the modulus 3, there would be 3 congruence class: for when the remainder is 0, 1, and 2. Guys we did it. Audrey mentioned infinity, which is bigger than eight, so I think we win? |

rewrite goes hard. also yipee old layout is back. the other one was really cool but lowkey difficult to navigate Yeah I got rid of it because with all the new text I added, the interests section was gonna clip off the top of the screen and to fix that I would have had to write manual box sizings for each of the aspect rations I defined the layout for and I only had 6% laptop battery when I finished the content re-write, which did not give me enough time to fix everything. |

nice new layout. I might be biased because now it doesn't break on any screen that isn't a 1080p monitor but still, nice work. Is your standard for broken just having the vehicle being stretched funny? Because the layout wasn't even designed around 1080p and the only thing I considered broken was the mobile layout because I had to kinda just wing it without a working smartphone. the interest section got cut off on any monitor that wasn't 1080p for me, and I wasn't able to scroll up iirc Yeah I didn't have the box size capped, so there was no scrolling if it was too big, but I honestly thought that was only a phone problem since I wrote separate css rules for like four different aspect ratios to avoid that happening. Wonder if it was something that was dpi dependent and therefore just not replicable for either my pc or laptop. |

(god your comment box is broken on mobile) anyways if like a wizard showed up at your doorstep one day and announced that YOU were the chosen one and YOU had to come with him to save the world/universe or find a macguffin or restore balance to the energy of everything or whatever, are you going with or are you closing the door and going back inside? Yeah this page in general is kind of half baked when it comes to mobile support since I'm only working with a single broken android phone rn. |

I don't plan on being big into tobacco ever, but personally think I might fall prey to smoking with a pipe if I ever have a nice yard to sit and smoke in.
