this job market is a fucking nightmare

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

At first I didn't understand why Murderbot is so hard on itself at the end of Artifical Condition. All of its clients are alive, the bad guys are punished, and it got the data! A win all around. But that's only from a story/hero perspective.

Murderbot is Security. If it did its job completely right, there would be no fights or danger to its clients. It arguably makes 3 huge mistakes.

Allows them to go to the obviously fake and dangerous meeting.

Doesn't confirm that its clients leave the dangerous area.

Has one of its clients get kidnapped and hurt.

And the biggest hit to Murderbot is that it does a "half-assed" job. It doesn't have a choice, its a slave, its scared and bored and it does the bare minimum.

But now it has a choice, its getting paid, nothing says it has to take this job, and its treated with respect. But its still doing the half-assed version of its job? Still just following orders even after leaving to find itself? It needs to take responsibility because there's no cheap company to blame everything on. There's no silly rules keeping it locked in place.

It needs to take that responsibility on itself because there is nothing else to blame.

I don't go here but I feel like "It's a metaphor. Don't force it to do the work of a fact." is a great statement about literature and fan-content in general.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

OK but I do genuinely believe we need to push for something like this before it's too late - and not just in digital spaces. We should have the right to peace and quiet from advertising. There should be more limits on how much and where we get advertising because otherwise it'll just become a creep of more and more until every fucking public space is lit with several billboards blasting us with ads, and the walls between spaces lined with ads, and our commutes filled with ads, and local parks sponsored by corporations to offset the cost of local councils, and so on and on and on and on. No. I need quiet. I need spaces where ads cannot touch me.

[solar-sunnyside-up]

There are places working on it! Here's some:

Grenoble, France, in 2014 banned any new billboards and took down the city owned ones in a step towards de-advertizing public spaces. They swapped out the billboards with trees btw!

The city of Nantes in western France has recently banned most electronic billboards, dismantling 110 in one night. The municipality is also cutting digital advertising in shop windows and on the public transport system. It’s also banned all advertising near schools. Which is apart of Frances over all goal to reduce visual noise and light.

In 2009, Chennai, India prohibiting billboards, digital banners and placards in public spaces.

São Paulo Brazil created a law "Lei Cidade Limpa" (Portuguese for clean city law) in 2006

Several states, namely Maine, Vermont, Hawaii, and Alaska have banned Billboards and have been working on other electronic ad bans.

This article goes over what some other locations might look like without such advertising

So just know these kinda policies are possible! Whether your in Europe where the UN is working on anti-Ad legislation, in the US, or South America!

In case you're wondering what raising a kid in a polyamorous family looks like, our kid just has. Zero concept of monogamy. Like we've explained it to her many times but she just like. Forgets it's a thing and the assumed cultural norm. We're showing her Lord of the a Rings and she was very confused when Aragon rejected Eowyn.

"Wait, I thought they liked each other??"

"She likes him but he's already with Arwen."

"So?? He could just be with both??"

Anyway enjoy this meme I found about it

[bottomscarkiller]

yeah yeah

[mayescapade]

guys how do you find a therapist. like not as in how do you find the right therapist for you but how do you even find therapists at all like am i supposed to just google “therapist near me” im at a loss. advice pls

[anubis-is-dead]

best to look through an professional register, but you could look up therapist near you, just make sure to look for psychological psychotherapist because the Titel psychotherapist is not protected and a lot of people use it without having actually studied psychology (not 100% how the rules are in your country)

hope that helps somehow:)
