Hi! I'm Rat-Face! They/it

I write.

Disclaiming everything I didn't type myself

since it’s pride month, throwback to this beautiful cover and this wholesome interaction between two icons

It's called the Global Justice Report, it is here. This is an actionable plan which can be sent to legislators and demanded of political parties. We could save the world within our lifetimes.

It has always been possible. It is still possible.

kind of harmonically beautiful

they should invent a disproportionate emotional response that goes away when you understand it's disproportionate. they should invent a way to logic yourself out of emotions

Okay, see, like.

If you fucking ask.

You should be prepared for an honest answer.

People that answer questions honestly with negative opinions, autistic or not, are not being assholes.

You fucking asked. They answered.

Unprompted negative opinion? Sure. Being an asshole.

But if you fucking ask. You can't get mad at them for telling you the fucking answer.

Im always scared to call someone my friend because what if they dont consider me a friend and hate me because of that

I learned a new concept

Graceful degradation is the ability of a computer, machine, electronic system or network to maintain limited functionality even when a large portion of it has been destroyed or rendered inoperative. The purpose of graceful degradation is to prevent catastrophic failure. (Tech Target, first result on the search engine)

[biglawbear]

Literal opposite of planned obsolescence. I love you graceful degradation.

[gallusrostromegalus]

Oh neat the first time I heard of the concept the guy described it to me as "catastrophic functionality".

He was talking about it in the context of designing robots that would go in and stop nuclear reactor meltdowns, something that would 100% destroy the robot, but they would be designed to keep functioning and fighting the meltdown for as long as possible. He had some designs where over 80% of the robot has died and it was functionally dragging its corpse around by its one working arm because one more minute of functionality might save thousands.

I've been having a few bad years mental health wise, and thinking about those robots a lot .

[maddie-2022]

This is also why NASA missions usually keep going so long after schedule. They are *masters* of graceful degradation, able to keep machines limping along on minimal power and after sustaining heavy damage

The reason your snacks are unsatisfying is that you need both carb and protein.

Carb starts your engine, protein keeps it going.

No carb, engine don’t start. No protein, engine dies out fast.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Easy carb add on:

Cookie

Fruit (canned or fresh)

Chips

Piece of bread

Popcorn

Crackers

Easy protein add on:

Nuts

Spoonful of nut butter

Cheese

Roasted chickpea snacks

Glass of milk (dairy or non dairy)

Small canned sausages or similar

[what-even-is-thiss]

Sugar in there.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I am pleased by people messaging me telling me that after adding a carb or protein to their snacks or meals they feel more satisfied all day. Yes, my plan is working. People are getting through their days with less hangry.

Even an orange cat is right sometimes.

Alternatively: when consequences are so obvious even the orange cat can see it coming.

i still find it so genuinely Weird when i think about the fact that fat people irl are a rather common occurrence. your family, your friends, your coworkers, people on the bus, random passerbys - there are fat people there. usually often. but when you look at Any form of media - movies, tv shows, video games, books are more complicated as not a visual medium but there too, fat people are almost nonexistent. one fat person for the whole movie. one fat person in the background of your fictional city. this is so insanely unrealistic but at the same time nobody comments on this and "we" accept it as normal!! and then people even think their own fatness makes them into some rare failure instead of one of the incredibly common body situations. crazy

[skinks]

I love that thing when people get a little bit tongue-tied and garble what they’re trying to say so they make a little “blegh” 👅 noise and start over. verbal reset button. hitting the top of the tv to unscramble the signal

Hey could you post the link to that tiptoe locking 3d print? I wanna print some for a surprise to show my sub

Ankle Cage by eekfly

This one-of-a-kind bondage device locks around the ankle, forcing the wearer to stay on their toes. Walking requires an awkward tiptoe gait,

have fun :)

so my plan is to alter this slightly because I think zip ties are hotter than a lock and I want to use them. I am also not modelling it to a particular person but rarther making one that should fit lots of people, and that will be easier with zip ties. I also dont want to print the top cuff section since I already own hardware similar and that's just an unnecessary waste of time, money, and plastic. There is a another "better" version that I think is less hot. the cage is what im here for tbh and I like the look of that.

Overall it looks like a great print that needs to be adjusted carefully for your sub. You'll need measurements of their feet and to scale potentially multiple axies of the print.

ughhhh other than that, good luck and let me know how it goes :) I'll post the altered version on thingiverse if I end up doing it and someone asks.

one of the best pieces of advice I've ever heard (for myself, at least) is that if you're in a terrible mood and NOTHING is helping, then start doing the chores/responsibilities/job stuff/etc that you've been putting off. Will it put you in an even worse mood temporarily? Probably, but you're already pissed off, so you might as well double up on it at that point 😭 there's no loss. It's not like finally getting around to cleaning the house and scheduling appointments is going to ruin the good day that you aren't currently having to begin with 💀 And then, when the bad mood passes, you'll have gotten shit done and you'll feel a lot better later, even if in the moment you're having The Worst Time Ever about it.
