Addendum to the last post: NOW it’s truly complete.
Re-followed everyone I used to follow under this account, claimed my old URL again, etc. For all means and purposes, ConvertedInvader is back in business.
The transition is complete.
From this moment on, this blog functions solely as an archive, as the new URL indicates. Censorship is thus subverted and thoroughly fucked with a rake.
I pride myself on being extremely hard to shut up, so no, of course it isn’t the end. In fact, I’m making the transition right now. In just a couple minutes, this blog will be moved to a yet-undecided URL, and its second incarnation is going to take its place.
I’m actually wondering whether such restrictions are based on account ID (or formkey or whatever). In that case, I could move this to another URL, releasing “convertedinvader”, and then immediately claim it with another account.
The time has come to reset this account.
I’ve tested and confirmed that it is severely restricted in terms of communication (unable to send asks or replies, and the tagged posts don’t appear on tag tracking). Asking around among a few fellow trolls, it turned out it’s a form of covert moderation, a way to “shut someone up” without making it obvious (like a ban).
Now, a blog robbed of all means to get an idea out is a pointless blog, so I am saying goodbye to it. Not to Tumblr, though. I will either delete this account or move this blog to another URL and start another.
It’s strange how one can grow attached even to a disposable persona like this after using it for a prolonged time. By now, I find myself taking pride in this pseudonym and the meager respect it has earned from some of you. But I suppose it was always a fact that at some point, I will have to let go of it; it would seem now is the time.
No really, exactly how many people must a woman sleep with in order to be a slut?
Because the slut-shaming always seems to come with lots of scientific and statistical figures about why women aren’t supposed to have sex, but never a specific and scientifically-based number of how many men a woman can fuck before being worthy of shame and degradation.
So, folks that are hell-bent on partaking in slut-shaming - WHAT’S THE MAGICAL NUMBER?
Scientific and statistical figures? I would love to see them. I love absolutely destroying bad science and ripping statistics to ribbons :D
There’s no real point in making the exact same point twice, so just refer to this:

I don’t have a picture, but I have a story. So I was on a third date with this girl, I had started to get serious feelings for her. She treated me right. So on this third date I took her to the park. I looked her in the eye and told her it was a miracle that i had landed her. She looked at me back and told me this “No, I’m just a simple girl that loves her boyfriend. However, I will give you a miracle if you simply close your eyes and reach out your hand.” So I did as she said, I felt an object being put in my hand. As i brought the object back i reluctantly started to open my eyes then my hand, behold in front of me… her miracle.
it was a fucking magnet.
oh my god.
Cherish that woman.
Instead of giving up on nuclear power, say a group of nuclear scientists, we should just switch from uranium-based reactors to ones fueled by cheaper, safer thorium.
- What is thorium?
A silvery metal (symbol: Th; atomic number: 90) close to uranium on the periodic table of elements, with just two fewer protons. It was discovered in 1828, and is named after the Norse god of thunder. As an added bonus, it’s “almost as common as dirt,” says Antonia Zerbisias in The Toronto Star.
- Why are fans so excited about it?
Thorium-fueled reactors are supposed to be much safer than uranium-powered ones, use far less material, produce waste that is toxic for a shorter period of time, and is hard to weaponize. In fact, thorium can even feed off of toxic plutonium waste to produce energy. And because the biggest cost in nuclear power is safety, and thorium reactors can’t melt down, argues Michael Anissimov in Accelerating Future, they will eventually be much cheaper, too.
- How cheap would it be?
If a town of 1,000 bought a 1-megawatt thorium reactor for $250,000, using 20 kilograms of thorium a year with almost no oversight, every family could pay as little as $0.40 a year for all their electricity, Anissimov predicts. And small reactors like that aren’t just potentially cost-effective, he says; they’re much safer, too.So, if thorium is cheaper and safer, why do we use uranium? Because we can make weapons out of its byproducts.
The last bit notwithstanding, the idea of Thorium as a fuel source is very interesting. There are some technical challenges to overcome, but this sounds promising.
