This concept changed my brain chemistry entirely. Every time I’m anxious I just keep repeating “don’t suffer twice” cuz literally why the fuck would I do that
The Rosetta Stone was used a piece of cement on a fortification before the French found it and realized the magnitude of their discovery. The Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs went untranslated for 1400 before a Frenchman deciphered them.
The modern day “Egyptians” wouldn’t even know half of the ancient Egyptian history they pretend is theirs if it wasn’t for British and French historians who documented and translated it. Thanks to them they now marvel at being inheritors of a great and ancient civilization.
Now ask yourself, how many more artifacts of ancient civilizations we’ve lost to time because the supposed “descendants” couldn’t be fucked to see their inherent value and preserve them?
If it wasn’t for the British museum we’d probably see Tutankhamens cock hanging off a rack in some carpet merchants stall. Thank God for it and may not a single artifact ever be returned to Egypt.
Assuming you're literate, it's a selfish way of communicating. It saves the sender a small amount of time where they can 'ummm' instead of formulating a point properly. Then the receiver has to sit through it all, spending multiples of the amount of time they'd spend to read it.
I built my own graphics library and got a whole map of my city onto a device with only 64kb of free RAM using my own rendering method written entirely in C & assembly, and a converter that take GeoJSON files and compresses them - this one went from 5mb to 34kb in my proprietary binary format, uses linedraw vector rendering to keep the entire memory buffer at only 8kb of RAM whilst tiling larger maps
In short
Screw google, aint no reason maps needs to be gigabytes of RAM to use
