The Shop is Open!

Devsmakes - Etsy

Shop items by Devsmakes located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Still getting some of the details set up, but the first few dolls have been listed, so if you want you can grab one from the first batch, or bookmark the listing to see when I restock with more!

I hope to add a Tigris doll soon, plus a different outfit option for Lucy Gray that I can hopefully make less expensively, and eventually peacekeeper options for Coriolanus and Sejanus, so be on the lookout for those as well! :D

apologist? not necessarily. explainer? perhaps. understander? intimately. enjoyer? greatly. sexualizer? frequently,

why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic

[transhuman-priestess]

He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

Capitalism is disgusting.

Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj

[blasting-the-bee-movie-script-d]

he didn't even get to stand *trial*. because he's autistic. he's in an institution for life for hacking while autistic, without trial.

this one liberal dude on twitter made the (correct) take that parents have overwhelming power over their kids and very often abuse it and restrict children's rights and he was ratio'd by conservatives, communists and liberals alike who made comments like "my kids will have rights when they pay the bills" to "aw are you upset mom and dad didn't you get you a lega set for christmas". way to prove his point lol! any criticism of the power dynamics adults and particularly parents have over kids and how it is often used to abuse kids or refuse to let them exist as themselves is drowned in mockery and the idea that parents have absolute authority over children and that any less than that is actually spoiling them.

i said it before: people only care about Children as an ideal. as property. as something that is Innocent and deserving protection From Evil Traffickers but also something Dumb that barely deserves the status of human with autonomy. and its fucking wild how even the staunchest communists think of this as normal, and how people refuse to understand that this dynamic is how kids are emotionally, physically and sexually abused, as well as robbed of their voices and too scared/ashamed to talk about it.

[bireaucracy-archived]

it's worth saying this dude is the parent of a now adult trans girl, and his reflections absolutely come from parenting as well as how he was expected to behave as the father of a trans daughter, how much power he had over her treatment and the refusal of doctors and teachers to listen to her and going over her head to him so they could misgender her and make him consent to conversion therapy.

he did not do these things, but the expectation and judgement that he as a parent was supposed to take away her rights and the sheer power he had over her as a minor made him reflect a lot. and now people are mocking him for sharing this reflection, even as black kids are killed or sent into the school to prison pipeline, as disabled kids are refused humanity, as parents kill their kids to spite their divorced spouses, as trans kids get their healthcare revoked, as migrant kids remain locked in cages. even as these same people panic over child trafficking and pedophile sex rings and refuse to admit how much csa and abuse is from family members.

The fact that this view is so rare despite also being, in my view, extremely obvious is I think a reflection of how strongly incentives mediate our beliefs. My experience growing up was that by six years old every single person I knew had developed a thorough class consciousness for the "child" class and as I've gotten older, everyone I know who's become a parent has forgotten it. Because ya know, it's not in their interests any more. The authoritarian structure of the parent/child relationship should also be the prototype for how sociological systems replicate, because parenting styles are so directly passed down generationally.

[scary-ivy]

I don't want Elon Musk to kill himself because that would get him some sympathy from liberals and "oh so you don't care about mentally ill people?" would become a common line. Ideally I'd like him to be assassinated Luigi-style, but again that runs the risk of him becoming a martyr. No, the best way for him to die is in a stupid accident of his own creation, which I'm frankly shocked hasn't happened yet. Y'know like Tesla malfunction, falls over the non-OSHA-certified guard rails in his own factory, SpaceX explosion, crushed to death trying to fuck one of his ugly robots, ect.

On April 16th 2025 the US federal government has proposed to change the interpretation of the endangered species act so that it no longer protects habitat.

This is open for public comment until the end of May 19th. Please comment and make your voice heard.

Wildlife need their habitat. If the ESA redefines harm so that habitat is no longer protected, the implications for wildlife would be catastrophic.

idk why people act like copyright infringement is the issue with genAI at all. someone drawing, say, luffy from one piece with a pencil and paper and someone typing "luffy from one piece" into a prompt window are the exact same level of copyright infringement. the actual thing genAI steals is labor and its results.

Scientist bakes sourdough bread with yeast derived from 4500 year old Egyptian pottery

i'm losing my mind @ this thread......historie......

[sassytail]

also please note that this scientist is in fact the retired man who invented the xbox.

[brunhiddensmusings]

oh fuck i listened to a podcast that was interviewing him and the process he went through to make this bread, ologies with allie ward like he went through full on clean room levels of prep to ensure that this was 100% yeast from old egypt and had to bend over backwards to ensure everything involved was uncontaminated he then revealed that the original xbox logo...

is a sourdough boule

I love telling people that Gary gygax was a biological essentialist because they always are so reticent to believe it. Like. he literally proudly said it out loud. Also have you ever actually read D&D? like. 3/4ths of everything is ontologically evil from birth

[sklarissa]

"As a biological determinist, I am positive that most females do not play RPGs because of a difference in brain function" - Gary Gygax

[ouroborosorder]

the funniest part about this quote is that if I’m remembering right he was talking about his wife and daughter not wanting to play D&D with him

[condescensionsation]

[theoutcastrogue]

He wrote this in 2005. I note this because if he'd written it in 1974, it could have been bigotry fueled by simple lack of imagination and basic self-awareness ("I haven't personally seen a woman having a good time in my RPG groups, therefore women can't do that"), but in 2005 it was fueled by STAGGERING amounts of selective blindness and willful ignorance ("by now I've most definitely seen women having a good time playing RPGs, and quite a lot of them, but my brain just. refuses to register it"). It's an intellectual trainwreck and I'm fascinated by it, the same way some people can't look away from the blood and gore of actual trainwrecks.

love episodes where the plot is "Character tries to take a vacation, but, despite everything, their job exists over there too"

doctor gets caught in a medical emergency on the beach, ghost hunter happens to board a haunted airplane, you just can't go wrong
