help I'm having ideas beyond my available energy levels

It irritates me when programs underline dirty words in red as if they are misspelled. Shit is a word. Piss is a word. Tits is a word. Stop treating me like a child these are all proper words I don't care if you think they are dirty, red underline is for misspellings only!!!!!

True.

But then I was once on a site that advertised a "free shit" for signing up. So they could have used a warning line.

(Though that would have deprived me of a good giggle.)

i wish we were able to talk about women's rights without someone mentioning how much they do or don't want to have sex with them. i don't care if you're a lesbian Stop finding worth in women purely from their perceived attractiveness

qcharlie

"I think women should not be expected to shave for societal respect / to avoid discrimination" "yeah🤤 i love bush" ok well that's not what we're talking about is it.

qcharlie

i hate how many posts about trans women deserving respect always devolve into "I love girldick" or "trans rights but I don't want to date a trans person" because that's entirely unrelated to the topic at hand. you should not respond to feminism with "YESSS I loveeee you because I see you as nothing but a sex object" you people sound like other men I get stuck talking with that end up saying "free the nipple so I can see boobies in public" and thinking they're feminists. why can't we just respect women regardless of your attraction to them or not. why does it need to be brought up in every conversation regarding their rights

Because some people believe, "if I proclaim how much I value women, that makes me feminist." What they're not grasping is valuing an object highly is still treating it as an object. Feminism is not, "women are all precious things," it's, "people of all genders are human beings with human rights."

I see this with fat activism, too. "Yeah, fat people are hot as fuck!"

I don't give a shit if you think I'm hot, I'm talking a medical discrimination that kills people. Fine, whatever, she's hot, can she get a doctor to take her symptoms seriously and provide appropriate treatment?

You should want for people you DON'T want to fuck to have human rights, too.

Those things made all of the pain I was in so much worse that I went and bought some $1.50 flip flops from Old Navy the next day.

I loved my high school physics teacher. But never catch me sitting on his chair-of-nails. I get the principle of dispersed pressure but also. No.

Holy moly they're GOOD. The music is fucking FIRE, and the outfits??? They're all so PRETTY???

Does anybody know who these are??? Do they have albums!! 🤩🤩🤩

raspberryslut

I was so curious that I had to go find this band. They're called Fortress Dwellers and they have a website with all of their socials!

They released an album too! I don't think this song is on it but the rest of their stuff is SO GOOD !!

Step into the fantasy world of Fortress Dwellers. A fantasy Renaissance musical collective blending epic original music, immersive performan

Tbh I think the "but data centers are important infrastructure, not just AI" talking point misses that like

Ok so roads are important infrastructure. A lot of stuff that's important happens on roads. Now, let's imagine that quadrillionaire Matt Stench has decided that the next big tech innovation is the Wide Car. It's a car that takes up six lanes despite seating only one passenger.

The Wide Car is supposed to be the future, and everyone's going to be driving Wide Cars, even though nobody who makes Wide Cars is turning a profit. Employers are offering Wide Cars as an employee benefit, and getting "nah." Some employers are going as far as demanding their employees drive Wide Cars, and the result is that people take time out of their workdays to get in the mandatory gas usage for their Wide Car before driving home in a regular car.

In spite of the fact that the Wide Car is clearly set to fail, there's an enormous push to expand to twelve-lane roads to accommodate a bunch of Wide Cars that simply will not materialize. This is not an organic response to demand, but a speculative investment that amplifies the existing issues with road development for no good reason.

That is the problem.

tpwrtrmnky

Oh and the road infrastructure project is buying up resources other people could have used for literally anything else. With money they promise they'll be making from Wide Car sales any day now.

Okay so what I'm getting from the notes is that when you try to transplant some techbro nonsense into an offline equivalent, you have to be careful to avoid simply inventing something the Americans are already doing in real life

Christ this is so fucking cool

I haven't been able to stop thinking about this. There's so much going on here. I genuinely love the conception of gender as mystic autodeism. Gender as divine microcosm. Gender as Great Work. It's gnostic, it's alchemical, it's got notes of bacchanalian worship of the body and the inherent magic of self-discovery. This but unironically.

derinthescarletpescatarian

So much of these people's worldview comes down to a disgust at the concept of personal autonomy. Making decisions about your body, your circumstances or your future is a demonstration of unbelievable arrogance that must be beaten out of you, either before you take the action via making it as difficult as possible or after you take the action via punishment and scorn, so that you give up this sinful concept of owning your own life. They treat the world like abusive parents who are completely shocked that their "ungrateful" twenty year old children refuse to call them any more.

writing is so funny because i could write nonstop for 9hrs and then hit a block where im like "how do i transition between this moment and the next?" and then i just dont touch it for 6 months

galadrieljones

Serious advice tho if this happens, it's likely because you already wrote past the end of the scene and wandered too far from the more logical transition point, and you should go back to the last time the writing felt "unforced" and cut everything after.

You can also just skip the transition. Really good writing can span years in a single sentence, like you can just authoritatively state fact and your reader will go with it.

xalphafox

This is GOLD! You just saved me like thousands of therapy costs lmao

headspace-hotel

When I was writing my fic last few months the strategy I used was "just skip all the scenes I don't want to write" and it worked great in my opinion

the real problem with the acceleration of technological change is that society no longer has time to get normal about things. we used to be able to do that! "TV rots your brain" had mostly died down by the time "video games make you kill people" came along. "video games make you kill people" was fading by the time "social media is full of depression and perverts" started. but the social media thing had barely started when we got smartphones and both of those were still going when we got AI. so now we have a generation of adults who are not one but three Scary Technologies away from their children.

dragon-in-a-fez

imagine being a kid when the printing press was invented. like, yeah, it would suck to have your parents constantly whining that society was unravelling because kids these days all had their own bibles, but you had a solid 500 years ahead of you for people to get normal about that before radio hit.

homunculus-argument

A three-circle venn-diagram where the circles are "sex workers", "the furry community", and "people working in morgues". I don't know what the overlap parts are.

flufflogic

Fourth circle needed: IT workers

homunculus-argument

You say that with such confidence that I am compelled to trust your vision. Personally I have no idea where this is going.

trytocallmecal

i'd say the overlap between "sex workers" and "people who work in morgues" is probably "seeing naked strangers a lot"

homunculus-argument

"professional handling of bodies of strangers"?

Okay I’ve gone through many of the reblogs and “prefer when clients don’t talk to them” is peak

transmechanicus

6 hour workday maximum i’m not kidding, if it can’t be done in that timeframe it doesn’t need doing.

vmprblood

this doesn't apply to jobs like childcare

transmechanicus

If i worked in childcare and my 6 hours were up i would start putting babies in ziploc bags and shipping them to Turkmenistan listed as endangered fruits and vegetables

normally I think it's bad for everyone when PC component brands try to branch out into apparel and "lifestyle products" but I think one brand specifically should start making ear defenders because ND people deserve to wear this logo
