i think it would do a lot of people good to remember that Mormons are white supremacists, no nuance, no debate, no arguing how they've gotten "more diverse", their whole belief system is fundamentally rooted in white supremacist ideals

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).

If @horsefigureoftheday and @wouldyoufuckthistaur haven't seen this yet then I'm fixing that right now.

It's not a question of whether the machine can be trusted, but if I can trust myself around it. I'm usually not into robots, but hoooly fuck

Yesterday my little brother told me something very sweet and touching, that when he was a kid and had nightmares about monsters chasing him or whatever he would be able to end the nightmare by finding me in the dream and I would protect him by fighting off the zombies, or carrying him away. This is adorable, and makes me feel like the greatest older sibling in the world, but the hilarious thing is that when I was a kid I had nightmares of needing to save him from zombies and such. so many dreams where he was in trouble and I needed to save him. Like my nightmares began where his ended. Low key I think he mastered the ability to psychically transfer his nightmare to me as a child and I'm kind of annoyed with him.

Do employers know that employees are actually reusable if you let them rest? Like if you don't use them up completely all at once, and give them time to rest and recover before the next work day, they just kinda grow back? That's how they used to do it back in the day, you could hire five people to do five people's workload, and then keep the same five people for 40 years without issue, instead of having 2-3 people doing five people's work and have to constantly keep looking for replacements since you keep running them to the ground, completely using up like 10-20 employees per year.

We still have access to all the same technology and materials that they were using back in the day. Literally nothing requires us to operate the way things work now.

and you know what? i am REALLY sick of these ads that are openly mocking people for being concerned about the products they’re selling.

Amazon’s super bowl ad where the Alexa mocks Chris Hemsworth for being worried about giving spy software control over his entire life. Waymo’s ad with the intro “the robots are coming!” mocking people who are rightfully extremely concerned about sharing the road with, or riding in, self-driving cars.

i don’t know, it’s just genuinely insane to me. “Oh, you have legitimate concerns about our shitty product? sounds like you’re just lame!!!” like what kind of “quiet part out loud” marketing is that?

It's McDonalds rhetoric.

We all know the story of the woman who had coffee spilt on her lap and sued McDonalds for millions, and how McDonalds turned it into "oh nooo coffee hot" when the story is more along the lines of this woman needed corrective surgery to her bits because the superheated water that hit her lap melted it.

The marketing is effectively trying to paint people with genuine concerns as conspiracy theorists so that other people will openly mock them. The ad isn't about getting you to give up your concerns.

It's about turning you into a laughing stock in the eyes of others.

Wait, for real?!

For real, friend.

i do actually think it's crazy that employers get a say over shit like tattoos and piercings and we just let that happen

pocket-deer-belly

if you look cool as fuck you become unemployable

pocket-deer-belly

i do also mean like, face tattoos, yall know that right

partyinthecloudkingdom

besides the obvious that people should have the right to do what they want with their bodies as a form of self expression, the stigma against face tattoos specifically has a long, violent, racist, imperialist history that stretches across the globe

i believe in sexual liberation and pervert rights except if you sext me with this emoji 🤤 then i think it should be automatically removed from your personal emoji library so you cant ever say that to me again

wizardarchetypes

in fact leave emojis out of it completely. i need you to convey your lust to me without emojis. i believe in you

dispassionedgrace

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

"wtf is an egg laying kink?" my friend... I don't know how else to tell you this.... but it is all quite literally in the name

presidentdragon

back in my undergrad I heard my 19 year old roommates tittering about sexy halloween costumes and ribbed condoms. one of them thought I was some kind of pervert bc I knew what furries were. they didn't even know what knotting was

Talking to friends with inept parents is crazy. No wonder they’re like this if their parents kept fumbling

Hot tip for future parents: you actually have to guide your kid to adulthood. Feeding them and waiting for them to grow up is not enough since they are not house plants. A little more thought and care is required.

for those lacking certain "adulting" skills, especially things around the house, check out:
