my personal preferred flavor of aroace grace is:

a) he has no idea that that's what he's got going on. he knows of the terms but he's got some subconscious queerphobia going on and feels like those words are only for purple haired teenagers. and he's in favor of purple haired teenagers, but that's still for Other People, it would never in a million years apply to him.

b) his "leaf in the stream of creation who just kinda does what other people ask him to" attitude extends to his interpersonal relationships and he very much has always fallen victim to the mindset that he needs a "good reason" to refuse someone romantically or sexually. mostly this means he's had a lot of pretty miserable experiences that were uncomfortable and felt bad but where the other person didn't actually do anything wrong, everything was completely above-board and as it "should" be and he still haaated it. his takeaway is that relationships and intimacy are inherently unpleasant for reasons he can't describe and in a way that he can't alter, so he'll just silo himself away from getting close with people to avoid the risk.

and c) well. that's not quite true, strictly speaking. as I said, he does know of the terms, he could think one step further and fully connect the dots. in the back of his mind he thinks about how there's maybe a version of his life out there where he's Better at everything and is able to voice his feelings and get those intimate relationships without the parts he can't handle. maybe, if he tried, he could find someone who would hear all his little buried thoughts and inadequacies and not immediately kick him to the curb. but that sounds terrifying, so he doesn't do it.

maybe i’m crazy but i’m not actually convinced you care about human dignity and inalienable rights if your outlook on the world is primarily about who should die and suffer

A server is basically a computer that needs to be somewhere with a good internet connection. If only we could figure out a way for multiple servers to be colocated at the same site so that we could share the costs of network maintenance, perhaps some kind of "center" that manages all of our "data" at once. Let's imagine a beautiful world together.

Women want me. Fish despise me. Even docile ones will attack me. I am not welcome in their holy places. Flowers don't care about me, but aggressive ones will attack me. I am not welcome in their holy places. Frogs-

I respect the fuck out of this. The whole site is trying its hardest to go against every selling point the dog robots have as its selling points.

The dog robots are supposed to be autonomous, threehalves is explicitly only for being piloted by a human. The giant horns make it difficult for this machine to enter through doorways, and that is the point. Coupled with the built-in weak points, it is very easy to disable this thing, so it can't be used by the police or the military effectively.

OP alluded to how unsettling the machine looks, and I believe that it was a concious decision; the robot dogs have garnered sympathy due to their apperance, which makes it easier for the police to morally justify their use. This thing? You're not gonna get many people to sympathise with it. The only people who would are monster and-or robot fuckers, and I believe these circles generally understand that a machine cannot be trusted (though of course many would willingly approach it for pervert reasons (positive) knowing full well it's a bad idea).

Just so we’re clear, if I point out that you did something racist, that’s not the same as me thinking you’re irremediably terrible. You did a racist thing.

[unthrifty--loveliness-deactivat]

You think you don’t do racist things, homophobic things, etc? You do. I caught myself in fat phobic and homophobic lines of thinking/speech just this morning. I’m fucking gay married. Nothing disqualifies you from acting in a way that reflects the society you exist in. We are obliged to fight it. Why not fight it in honesty and with camaraderie?
