hate it when people call ada lovelace the first female programmer, when in reality she was the first programmer ever. she wrote programs for a machine before it was ever constructed

something incredibly funny about dnd trying to get in on the cute animal of the week trend with a popular raccoon and, because this is how dnd works with regards to animals, doing so by releasing a statblock so you can fight and kill it

putting "don't you dare" in the XP count but still explaining how one would go about fighting jimothy the raccoon, a random animal with a spinal condition, is killing me

Fucking thank you!

The infuriating part is that people apply the pop-psychology definition of "trauma-bond", but apply the actual psychology judgement of it, as in, "obviously bad, duh, everyone knows that".

The number of times I've been given shit for my relationships being "trauma-bonds" specifically cause I date fellow disordered people for the mutual understanding, is fucking astonishing.

[image description: flyer clarifying the meanings of various psychological terms, cut in two, which says "pop psychology" on the left and "actual psychology" on the right.

In pop psychology, "trauma bonding is when you're bonding with someone over shared trauma or similar past experiences." In actual psychology, "A trauma bond refers to the situation where someone develops strong feelings of sympathy, loyalty, dependance, and attachment towards their abuser."

In pop psychology, "Gaslighting is when someone lies to you, questions you, or disagrees with you over what happened." In actual psychology, "Gaslighting is an abuse tactic where you are manipulated to question your reality, memory, or sanity—not just a disagreement over what happened."

In pop psychology, "Being triggered means that something makes you uncomfortable or annoyed." In actual psychology, "A trigger is something that causes a sudden increase in symptoms—like flashbacks in PTSD or compulsions in OCD. Its not just a source of general discomfort."

In pop psychology, "Intrusive thoughts are random impulses you might want to act on; e.g. wanting to do something unexpected like dye your hair pink or eat cake for dinner." In actual psychology, "Intrusive thoughts and unwanted, involuntary thoughts that go against your real value and desires. You dont want to act on them, and them coming true would be your worst nightmare. They can be very prominent and distressing in disorders like OCD and PTSD."

I've seen posts occasionally saying something like "you should spend more time paying attention to local news that affects your community and less time doomscrolling about national/global stories you can't do anything about" and the problem with that is, in my experience of "local news" anyway, most of it consists of a succession of stories about CRIME IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD and MORE CRIME IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD and HOW DOES THIS SERIOUS DANGER AFFECT YOUR CHILDREN??

Breaking my several year harry potter silence just to say that in the Apollo Justice Trilogy, they removed the harry potter reference they originally had in the game. Which means that if you still consume hp content and talk about it, you are doing worse than fucking capcom

[tallsuperstar]

@endigolikesarson In the original, for the running joke regarding Valant and doors, Apollo calls Valant a muggle

While in the remaster, he says this which is way funnier even without the baggage

[tallsuperstar]

Everyone reblogging this post saying stuff like "they probably changed it because of copyright/dated reference" NEEDS to know that 1. There are multiple references to Doctor Who and Star Trek and a character probably named after someone from Battlestar Galactica of all things and 2. The lead writer for the localization stuff with Ace Attorney uses they/them pronouns.

Can people start policing bisexual women

[numb3r-0n3-b1tt3r-hag-na]

Nobody is policing bisexual women, we've got to organize a task force. Femme is a lesbiannesxlusive term for women that go "Okie Dokie!" and who are in relationships with butches who go "Wahoo!"

[dragon-in-a-fez]

this is fucking awful, obviously, and I hope this parent gets the book thrown at her when it comes to sentencing.

but I am really struggling not to be amused by the fact that the kidnapping failed. the target of this unhinged plot escaped, got caught, escaped again, and called 911 for help. her mother and two accomplices did the whole thing to prove to her how vulnerable she was and instead she just kicked ass.

It’s very romantic to imagine that the Bronze Age collapse happened due to the mysterious sea people but I personally like the theory that a lot of these complicated civilizations fell apart due to overcomplicated bureaucracy imploding in on itself. 

[what-even-is-thiss]

Systems collapse theory as the cause for the Bronze Age collapse is crazy to me because imagine you live in a local post apocalypse among the ruins of ancient stone palaces and walls so large that the old stories say they were built by giants and you’re in this situation because the resources to maintain the layers of trading partnerships and accountants and administrators and whatnot just got too big. Death by poor administration.

i think everyone should program at least once just so you realise just how fucking stupid computers are. because theyre so fucking stupid. a computer wants to be told what to do and exactly that and if you make one typo or forget one detail it starts crying uncontrollably
