inarguably the keystone of the whole team. trying to summon the captain without heart is a real bad idea.

weaponized empathy is what, then? a flaw in the heart ring where specific conditions can "unperson" someone and cut off empathy? or is it a contagion where neurotic emotions are empathically spread?

weaponized empathy is mostly the security vulnerability that habitual empathy represents being exploited exploiting it in the person you're actually targeting is passe, these days we exploit it in bystanders and get their altruistic punishment impulse all hot and bothered

didn't Amazon have cgi-bin paths until like five minutes ago? no, i just vaguely remembered there being investigation on the topic and googled it, i dunno if it will reward more than a skim

I have no idea when they got right with god on that particular issue. I did hear from some insiders a few years ago that the e-comm site itself was still running an ungodly amount of late 90s vintage Perl and nobody understood it well enough to fix it.

probably just a url rewriting reverse proxy to hide the hilarious paths from the plebs
