Fair warning that I have issues compressing my thoughts into a succinct and precise format, and as such, this can and will end in me ramblin
posting the start of my fighting game rambles here so you aren't hit with a wall of text when you click on my profile sorries
dusting this one off. hello everyone.
I haven't used this site actively in like 2 years but I really wanna maintain a blog again so I'm real. I'm real for the first time in so long. I got married and that was cool
even as a latin american who knows what it feels to be ignored by powerful nations it fucking burns a hole in my chest to see how few shits anyone has given about sudan or rwanda or cambodia or laos or bosnia or artsakh or the russifications of native russians like the enets and ket or the 99999 kfghjillion fucking coups the us has wormed its way into latin america. i am begging for this time to be different. never forget about palestine. keep talking about it
we need more dials and knobs and levers again. this world is lacking in dials and knobs and levers. it's one of our biggest issues.

The Dublin spire isn't a bad looking landmark per se but why does it look like it was specifically designed to pop blimps
It looks like whoever designed this hates balloons.
It's a 120 meter tall stainless steel spike. Can't go in it.
this looks like it was designed specifically so you could trip a kaiju and impale them with it
I used to hate it, but it actually makes more sense when you're actually in/moving around Dublin lol.
Most buildings in Dublin are less than 5 storeys high, so you can see the Spire from most of the city centre, and get to the rest of the city from it fairly easily.
The Spire is designed so it works as a landmark you can see from almost anywhere.
Before Google Maps was really a thing, and even now it is, you could use it as a physical reference point to move around the city, and you're kind of drawn to it one way or the other naturally. It's kind of a giant IRL map pin.
That means there's always a group of people at the base; teenagers meeting up with their buddies before setting off for the day, tour groups, folks from out of town just off the bus waiting their friends, and - my perpetual favourite - well dressed people with visible nerves trying to act cool as they wait for their dates.
So rather than a blimp defense system, think of it more like a spawn point.
Also when there's a Star Wars movie they turn it into a lightsaber.
for those interested, this is a good example of how "Major structure you can see from everywhere" is a good thing for cities. The needle, though maybe not loved by everyone, is exactly as EJF says - a navigational reference point.
If you were ever lost, you could look for the needle and identify a major spot in the city. This can help avoid getting turned around (since you can track your direction in reference to a single point) , or provide a known spot to return to if you get disoriented.
This would also mean that if someone was new, they could learn the directions from the needle to where they were staying, and then travel the rest of the city with confidence that they can find their way back when they are done.
Water towers can serve a similar purpose in smaller towns, which is one of the reasons why they're often kept, even when no longer used for storing water.
In conclusion, make fun of how it looks all you want, but this giant needle is now part of vital city infrastructure.
if it's stupid and it works it's not stupid

As a late diagnosed autist I will say one of the most damaging but transformative experiences I've ever had was being misdiagnosed with BPD.
Everyday my heart goes out to people with BPD.
The amount of stigma and silencing they face is astonishing and sickening.
I took DBT for years. Therapists use to turn me away because of my diagnosis.
I would be having full blown autistic meltdowns, crying for help literally - but because I was labeled as BPD ANY time I cried I was treated as manipulative and unstable.
As if the only reason I could be crying was if I was out to trick someone.
95% of the books out there with Borderline in the title are named shit like 'How to get away from a person with Borderline', 'How to stop walking on eggshells (with a person who has BPD)'
I was never allowed to feel true pain or panic or need.
That was 'attention seeking behavior', not me asking for help when a disability was literally inhibiting my ability to process emotions.
There were dozens of times where I had a full meltdown and was either threatened with institutionalization or told I was doing it for attention.
My failing relationships weren't due to a communication issue, or the inability to read social cues. No, because I was labeled borderline, my unstable relationships were my fault. Me beggong nuerotypicals to just be honest and blunt with what they meant was me pestering them for validation.
Borderline patients can't win.
And the funny thing is - I asked my therapist about autism. I told her I thought I was on the spectrum.
BPD is WILDLY misdiagnosed with those with autism and I had many clear signs.
Instead - she told me 'If you were autistic we wouldn't be able to have this conversation'. She made me go through a list of autistic traits made clearly for children, citing how I didn't fit each one.
And then she told me that me identifying with the autism community was the BPD making me search for identity to be accepted - and that I wasn't autistic, just desperate to fit in somewhere.
I didn't get diagnosed for another ten years. For ten years I avoided the autism community - feeling as if I were just a broken person who wanted to steal from people who 'really needed it'.
Because of my providers - I began to doubt my identity MORE, not less.
Ten years of thinking I was borderline and being emotionally neglected and demonized by a system meant to help me.
To this day, I still don't trust neurotypicals. Not fully.
I know I'm not borderline now - but my heart aches for them. Not for the usual stuff. But for the stigma. And the asshole doctors. And the dismissiveness and threatening and the idea of institutionalization hanging over their head.
I love Borderline people. I always will. I'm not Borderline but if you are I love you and I'm sorry.
You're not a bad person. You're not a therapists worst nightmare, you are a human with valid feelings and fears.
Borderline people I'm sorry.
