as a completely cis dude, I would press this button immediately, without question. There are a lot of things I would do for money, but shit I'd do this for like 20 bucks... maybe less?
She said with all too much confidence
A DAY!?!?!?
I recently started working in hospitality, and Iāll tell you guys right now, the trope of āthere was only one bedā is not as rare as youād think in real life. A few times a week, at least, I have guys come in who are working together on projects in town or passing through who have to literally book the last room I have available for the night and lo and behold ā there is only one bed, and guess what, they give each other a side-eyed look and begrudgingly take it. So write it up, it happens all the time!!!
Never let your There Was Only One Bed dreams die. I was secretly in love with my best friend for over a year when she graduated and moved to Oklahoma (like 1000 miles away) for grad school. Between that travel restrictions, we were so scared weād never see eachother again.
At the end of summer, when Covid numbers were at a lower point, I took the risk to visit her in her new apartment and I quickly realized that, unlike when Iād spent the night at her house before, the couch wasnāt made up like a bed. She explained that since her new couch was so fancy and pink, I couldnāt possibly sleep on it, and so I needed to sleep in the bed with her. You know, out of necessity. I woke up with her snuggled around me in the middle of the night.
Weāre dating now, and I genuinely think Iām going to marry her. Just the other day, though, I mentioned that if she hadnāt been weird about her fancy couch, I probably never would have like confessed my feelings. AND THEN she stood up, took the cushions off the fancy couch, UNFOLDED IT INTO A HIDE-A-BED, and said āI KNOW.ā
THIS GIRL. ORCHESTRATED. BED SCARCITY. JUST SO SHE COULD MAKE THE āONLY ONE BEDā EXCUSE. Yāall when I said I just about lost my goddamn mind, I just about lost my goddamn mind. I love this sneaky bitch so much and the moral of this story is BE THE ONE BED YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
Fanfic imitates life, and life imitates fanfic. Itās full circle really.

Unfortunately, I do love you now that you can dance
ok, but honestly, it is unfortunate. you know how weāre always passing around thatĀ āyou are not immune to propagandaā meme? this is the propaganda itās talking about.
itās cute dancing robots! they have a cute robot dog! itās cute! itās friendly!
well, the robot dog friend? cute little jumpy guy, does some careful ballet-esque steps, often between the humanoid robots? so far, both the boston police and the nypd (heads up: autoplaying video, with sound) haveĀ ādeployedā the cute dog friend. both departments say that the robots are being used asĀ āobservation devicesā, sent into buildings with lights and a camera that sends a videofeed back to the cops.Ā
part of why i think this video (and others like it) is so interesting is because boston dynamics has defended police use of the robots, saying that thereās a clause that the robots canāt be used in a way that wouldĀ āphysically harm or intimidate peopleā. i donāt know about you, but if i were at, say, a protest, or honestly literally anywhere, and a robot dog started running towards me, iād be pretty fucking intimidated. iād assume that it was going to hurt me. if one of the humanoid robots were running towards me, iād assume it was straight-up about to kill me.Ā
but these videos do a lot of work to erode that assumption. how can anyone claim that theyāre intimidated by, say, a line of robot dogs at a protest? the robot dogs do funny dances online! the video above has been live for about two months, and it has thirty million views. people love them! they can dance!
so when they start being used as mobile security cameras, or when they start being used to maintain a perimeter or for crowd control or whatever, itās not really a violation of the contract. the robots are friendly! my bet is that when they start setting them out to do security or whateverāand i donāt doubt that theyāll be used for security, etcāthey might even do funny little dances and interact with people who stop to gawk at them. anything to normalize increasingly autonomous roboticized policing. get one of the humanoid ones out in the field, and itās a remarkably short step to autonomous, mobile cctvāthat can also detain you if it doesnāt like what youāre doing, or if there was a crime and youāre in the area, or if your face looks like someone from a database, orā
and all that assumes, of course, that the no-harm clause stays there forever, and that police departments, so famous for their love of doing things by the book, adhere to it. but just for fun, watch that video again, and imagine even one of those robots weaponized, outfitted with evenĀ ānonlethalā crowd control.Ā
iām not arguing that the robots are inherently bad, or that thereās no reasonable use for them, even by cops. but the time to get critical of them is now, not in five or ten years when their use has been largely normalized. this is cute propaganda, but itās still propaganda, and we should acknowledge it for what it is.
anyway this is how to disable the Spot robo-dog that the NYPD just purchased
Experience: Learning the right way to connect the dots.
This is the best representation of something I have been trying to explain to people for years!!!! Saving this to my phone so I can routinely pull it out when I need.Ā
So if you look in the lower right-hand corner of that last panel with the unicorn, youāll see that it looks like something was erased or pasted over. Know why? Because this isnāt the original version of the cartoon.
This is:
Yeah, thatās right. This entire strip is a comment on antisemtism and yāall changed it to be more āfunā and deleted the artistās signature in the process. So anyway, this isnāt just some helpful infographic or a silly meme, itās a commentary on how Jews have been getting blamed for worldās ills for 2,000 years, and whoever erased that panel can fuck right off for eternity.
you'd think that demons would have a lot more sympathy for the virgin sacrifices and a lot less for the guy holding both of them captive against their will
guy wearing a hooded robe and holding a tome of ancient magic: o foul demon, i have summoned you here to -
the demon, walking straight past the sacrifice and towards the guy who summoned them with murderous intent: is this guy bothering you queen?
'i have summoned you demon!' Ā 'uh no you haven't. i don't see you bleeding out in the middle of the summoning circle' Ā 'then... then why are you here?' Ā 'SHE summoned me.'

i learned that Genghis Khan would marry off a daughter to the king of an allied nation. Then he would assign his new son in law to military duty in the Mongol wars, while his daughter took over the rule. Most sons in law died in combat, giving his daughters complete control of these nations (x)
