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

I hate that ‘bad dream’ just means ‘nightmare’ instead of ‘shitty quality dream.’ I had a bad dream last night. It wasn’t scary it just didn’t make a lot of narrative sense

Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.

bigfatbitchdotcom

It's not r*pe, it's rape. It's not su*cide, it's suicide. Not unalive, dead. The backbone needs to be reintroduced en masse because softening the blow of these concepts with advertising language does absolutely nothing but allow people unaffected by them to feel not even a sting of what they can do, prompting inaction.

And it's been proven that on certain websites, you don't even face a repercussion for using the words as they are. People just started censoring themselves because they feared the potential lack of views and likes and followers which is so nasty itself.

I attended an anti-suicide seminar in college. One of the big takeaways from it was that stigmatizing suicide increases the rate of suicide, because people who are feeling suicidal feel like they can't ask for help. Every time I see babytalk garbage like 'unalive', I think of that.

Use the real words. Words have power, and they matter.

“My friend is not a diplomat. She is the failure of diplomacy. She is the breakdown of negotiations. There is no escalation of hostilities beyond her.”

This is one of my favourite lines in the Kyoshi novels because it completely reframes who Kyoshi is.

People love reducing her to “the violent Avatar,” but that’s not what Lao Ge is saying. He’s saying Kyoshi is what happens after every peaceful option has failed.

She isn’t diplomacy. She isn’t politics. She isn’t compromise.

She is the point where diplomacy has already died.

“There is no escalation of hostilities beyond her” isn’t saying Kyoshi enjoys violence. It’s saying that if the Avatar herself has decided to intervene, you’ve already reached the absolute limit. There is nothing left to negotiate.

It’s also why I think people misunderstand Kyoshi so often. Throughout the novels she repeatedly tries to reason with people, show mercy, and restore balance without unnecessary bloodshed. But once she concludes that someone cannot be reasoned with, she acts decisively.

Kyoshi isn’t the first step. She’s the last.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.
