Little accessibility suggestion: if you're organising an event where most people will be standing, and someone requests a chair, get more than one chair.

That way, whoever the seated person is talking to doesn't have to do an awkward hover while the seated person shouts to be heard. If you can supply one chair, you can supply two chairs.

Maybe you could even consider supplying more than two chairs.

'rocky learns to swear in english' is great and all but have we considered the equally hilarious alternative: rocky makes grace a little harmonica so he can use tone indicators in eridian, does not realize how terrible of a mistake this is until it's too late. grace catches onto tone indicators FAST and he is DEVASTATING with their application. grace does not use eridian swears but rocky gets to hear "are we choosing kind words" and "I'm not mad I'm just disappointed" in eridian roughly thirty times per day

[manyblinkinglights]

#grace figures out Disappointed Teacher tone indicators in less than twenty four hours#the first time he uses it rocky is suddenly shaking with flashbacks to being a 30yo eridian in school#pov you are stuck in deep space and your middle school teacher alien roommate has just figured out how to scold you in your native language#rocky is a mechanic. they are immune to being cussed out but the Teacher Voice works on them solidly seven times out of ten#when the beatles get back to earth stratt watches the hail mary footage and every time rocky cringes as grace harmonicas at him#she's like 'ahhhhhh the teacher voice <3 I do miss that'#because when he was still on earth stratt would sometimes sicc grace on members of the phm team#because sometimes the Disappointed Teacher Voice was more effective than the Angry Boss Voice

the weirdest thing about my wizard tattoo is that unlike the other tattoo i have, it's really reactive to my lupus

like the first signs of a flare up from stress/over exertion used to be red face + fever + rash on my hands

but the lines of my tattoo will become raised and then a little itchy before it progresses to that point

and im discovering that, yeah, if i just listen to the wizard and rest/recuperate/stop pushing myself when it starts acting weird, i can sometimes avoid triggering the other symptoms

early warning system wizard who lives on my shoulder reminding me to take care of myself

So that’s basically how it went down

I resent just how fucking accurate this shitpost is, congratulations OP, you effectively illustrated how Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection became accepted by the wider public using a FUCKING MUPPETS MEME, here is your A+, get the hell out of my office

healthcare provider: do you have to pee unusually often?

me: well, I don't know how many times a day the average person pees. the relevant data I have is that I am currently on a medication that helps me have to pee less often, and also that before I was on this medication, I had to pee a number of times per day that I personally found frustrating and inconvenient, although I often think that some degree of that is due to our society not being built to accommodate people who need to pee really often.

healthcare provider: most people pee between four and seven times a day.

me: oh yeah then I'm totally normal.

healthcare provider: I would not go that far

people who express seething, violent hatred towards cyclists: you make people feel unsafe as fuck! you're allowed to be annoyed with cyclists. some of us are dicks who need to learn the road rules. but anytime I see someone "joke" about hitting cyclists with their car I feel a little bit sick to my stomach.

[crabussy]

feels like as soon as my feet are on the pedals of my only reliable mode of transport, I become a target for people driving a terrifyingly fast and heavy car. when I was barely a toddler, my dad had to go on rallies to raise awareness about the fact that people on bikes are PEOPLE who do not deserve to be KILLED BY DRIVERS.

[crabussy]

he had slogans trying to remind people that he was a dad with a 2 year old son at home, because both him and his friends have had drivers swerve at them any time they got on their bicycles. I just find how "normal" it is to want to kill cyclists pretty fucking scary.

[crabussy]

"it's just a joke" yep! but jokes are rooted in ideas that you are reinforcing. you can laugh about how annoying cyclists are without sounding like you want us to get life ending injuries for inconveniencing you.

Briefly poking my head back in on the "realistic fantasy creature" rabbit hole before tapping back out.

[cipheramnesia]

The thing about the real universe and Earth biology is that all of it is generally more fucked up and weird than our imaginations. Realistic version of fantasy settings forget that evolution is a fuck you and ecology is a double fuck you and they get so wrapped up in forward facing predator eyes the completely space out on jumping spiders. And like sure maybe you can say XYZ happens but they're never out there like adding the details that make it interesting like growing tusks that curve around into the skull, eyes set on giant elongated stalks, freaky sacs that inflate and deflate, special noise features, and all the other weird shit that gets carried along in the evolutionary process. Not because it was better or more useful but because it was a trait of things that lived long enough to fuck.

The take home true realistic fact of biology isn't "these traits are a necessary part of this skill or behavior" it's that biology does not give a fuck and evolution will grab literally anything if it succeeded in reproduction a couple times, anything.

[cipheramnesia]

People will be like realistic dragons can only fly if they're really light with big wingspans and a lot of buoyancy or something. Yeah maybe so, or maybe they're like fucked up whale vulture squid mantis hybrids. Maybe their wings are just fucking packed with organ jets using the venturi effect to ram themselves full of air on a foreward swing and blast it out of anterior exhausts, and it gets superheated because pressure increase equals heat so the wing underside combined with the jet propulsion gets lift and thrust, and they've got like massive furnaces of digestive systems amped up a million percent from animals like heyenas and vultutes that let them eat more or less anything, which allows them to stay alive from internally breaking down a one ton gutload of garbage and they pretty much just spend the majority of their time in high altitude flight as adults based on having some weird unforseen celluar biology where they just live on sunlight and digestion and the atmosphere has less drag and their body is so huge because it holds in the heat that helps the jet wings work. And then every so often they dive bomb into normal atmosphere at like terminal velocity and use a diamond hard shovel jaw plow through whatever is in their pathway to get just enough energy to blast back up into the upperatmospher, like, they never stop flying, but they are huge and terrifying and they defend themselves with bile. Like what about that, huh?

[cipheramnesia]

Be throwing the inverse square law around how giants would collapse under their own weight and it's not a survivable size as if human spines don't collapse under the strees of walking upright in the actual living world. Stupid shit thrives all the time.

I have this idea for a video game called Are You Out There? where two players control two different alien civilizations and the goal of the game is to invent spaceflight and then manage to find one another in a ginormous universe. You can try to leave signs for each other to find, or send out probes and radio waves, or colonize many systems so you're a bigger target, but its hard because the universe is really big.

Idk just a thought.

There are few things funnier to me than the white-hot raging beef parents can have with fictional characters written for young children. You want to hear one of the funniest rants of your life, you ask nearly any parent of a young child their least favorite little cartoon guy. It'll be amazing.

Okay okay I've got one I think will be fun!!

Spin this wheel of like 160ish fandoms of varying levels of popularity.

Could you write a convincing 1-2k word fic for this fandom?

Yes, easy, I've read/watched/played this piece of media and could write for it!

Yes, I know enough about it through fandom/internet osmosis that I could BS 1k

Eh, I could TRY but someone who knew the media would know I was BSing

No, I've heard of this media but I don't know enough about it to BS a fic

I have never heard of this media in my life

Nuance option??

Guy who has a non-research degree in a field that never studies human subjects: Here are my opinions on what needs to be done for me to respect this field I've decided to become a denier of.

[Extreme breach of scientific ethics]

[Violent abuse of power]

[Method that actually doesn't obtain any information]

[Controlled double-blind studies of phenomena where that is literally impossible]

[Seeking empirical proof that a word has the meaning that it's defined as]

[Study that would have a dropoff rate of 100%]

Additionally, how do we know that [best currently available theory] is true, and not [dominant theory from 100 years ago that repeatedly failed in the face of evidence]? I have found some minor methodological flaws in [studies that were not designed to prove the best available theory, but rather examine edge cases within that theory], so we should really consider [nonsense with no evidence backing it whatsoever].
