Me: I'm looking for a work of literary cyberpunk that seriously explores the impact of ubiquitous cybernetic enhancement upon bodily autonomy.

Them: I have a work of literary cyberpunk that seriously explores the impact of ubiquitous cybernetic enhancement upon bodily autonomy.

Me: Does it really seriously explore the impact of ubiquitous cybernetic enhancement upon bodily autonomy, or does it employ bodily autonomy as a metaphor for the artist's loss of intellectual freedom under the corporate state?

Them: It definitely seriously explores the impact of ubiquitous cybernetic enhancement upon bodily autonomy.

Me: All right – show me your work of literary cyberpunk that seriously explores the impact of ubiquitous cybernetic enhancement upon bodily autonomy.

Me: *looks inside*

The work: *employs bodily autonomy as a metaphor for the artist's loss of intellectual freedom under the corporate state*

It's fine to disagree with the IAU about the definition of "planet"; however, if your definition includes Pluto but not Ceres, Orcus, Haumea, Quaoar, Makemake, Gonggong, Eris or Sedna, you don't actually care what a planet is – you just want the exact list of nine planets you learned in primary school back. Your cute little Pluto-including orbital distance mnemonic ought to be at least seventeen words long, and good fucking luck with the Q!

I appreciate that you included Salacia but not Charon – really threading the needle pedantry-wise there.

[iykury]

iy think any planetary-mass object should be called a planet. the moon is a planet. so are the galilean moons. ganymede is bigger than mercury, so whiy not? just because it happens to orbit another planet too? a star can orbit another star, so whiy can't a planet orbit another planet?

[prokopetz]

Sometimes when I'm feeling especially contrary I'll advocate for a definition of "planet" which includes the inner planets, the trans-Neptunians, and all planetary-mass moons, but specifically excludes Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

[thekinglemingle]

My contrary definition of a "planet" is any object that has orbital epicycles visible with the naked eye from the Earth's surface. This limits us to 5 planets and explicitly excludes the Earth.

[prokopetz]

If you're willing to be exceptionally persnickety about physical definitions you can get the Solar System all the way down to three planets, though that list does admittedly include Earth.

(For the curious: exclude the gas and ice giants, the dwarf planets, anything orbiting anything that isn't the Sun, and also Mercury because it probably wouldn't satisfy the orbital clearance criterion if the Solar wind wasn't doing the heavy lifting, leaving only Venus, Earth, and Mars.)

I explained the concept of "blorbo from my shows" to my 71 year old immigrant grandfather because I referenced it in passing and I thought nothing of it, until today when he said "I think I'll watch peaky blinders tonight and see my blorbo from my shows" referring, of course, to Cillian Murphy playing Tommy Shelby

[universeleads]

English isn't his first language so he's not super in touch with modern slang, so I've been accidentally teaching him to talk like a tumblr user. His favorite thing to say lately is "me when I'm a little hater" when he's like talking shit about the neighbor's son

[overwhelmedfernfrond]

I explained the “x before gta6” meme to my immigrant father and he, in turn, explained to me how back in his day in Romania, they had the same type of joke, except instead of it being gta6, it was about the imminent death of a singer named Gică Petrescu, who everyone was continuously shocked by because he refused to die. Every time a momentous event happened people would say, in essence: “This happened and Gică Petrescu hasn’t even died yet?!?”

So. He understood the gta6 meme immediately because they apparently had the same thing in Romania when he was young, except way, way more morbid

[venort]

OP are you telling me we got the death of Gică Petrescu before we got gta6

There's this weird tendency among fandom types where they'll take a character, and insist that they are fans of them, before changing their design, age, pronouns, backstory, blood type, species, hometown, favorite color, zodiac sign, medical history, and every other facet of their being.

They will then violently insist that this version is superior to the canon one and act like they "fixed" them and it's like. Buddy that's not the same character anymore. That's just your own oc commiting identity fraud. Like. I get the desire to experiment with different interpretations of a story. But first of all it's okay to just make an original character if that's what you really want to do. And second of all, are you even really a fan of the character you "fixed" if they're a completely different person afterwards?

Like. Idk dude for somebody who claims to be a fan you sure don't seem to like them as they are :/

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Gonna remember "buddy that's not the character that's your OC committing identity fraud."

This would have had me crucified on tumblr 10 years ago but maybe we are ready for this conversation now:

If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.

This is a PSA to about 3/4s of the Portland Youth populace

[nonaferatu]

everyone who reblogs this and is like "I ordered my own tea this week" or "I only barfed once when I had to give a presentation'- you are doing amazing sweetie. Have patience with yourself, you are relearning a skill so difficult that people get 4 year degrees to do it professionally.

If a new ace attorney is really announced soon I wish to share my ideas for what I like to call AA7: Feminism and they are as follows

Athena lead, obviously

Trucy is back as primary weirdgirl

The explanation for the mood matrix tutorial that will inevitably occur is that widget breaks and Athena has to learn to hear emotions without an aid. Trucy is a great assistant for this because she has perceive but doesn't have a bracelet to aid her. Athena closes her eyes and sees the mood matrix in her mind.

Wright is mysteriously absent. Athena is incredibly vague about it à la Edgeworth in JFA. Thinks things like "(if only Mr. Wright was still here with us...)" When someone asks Trucy says things like "Daddy's in a better place now". Then in the last case he shows up in a Hawaiian shirt and it's revealed he's just been on honeymoon. Athena was vague on accident but Trucy was doing it on purpose because she thought it was funny.

Kay is the new primary detective. She and Trucy get along so well.

Kitaki family bakery is the scene of a crime and/or relevant to a case. Athena is blissfully unaware that the Kitaki's are former gangsters. Trucy is unwilling to communicate this to Athena because she thinks its funny.

Klavier finally gets to be defendant. His case involves a witness who's a Klavier Gavin fangirl. Her name is Arpie Effe and her hair is a loose approximation of the drill. She is live-blogging the whole case and her phone never leaves her hands. In her shocked animation she goes completely still while her phone buzzes wildly in her hands. I'm imagining Athena uses the mood matrix and is like hey why were you happy at this part of your testimony and the fangirl timidly explains there was evidence towards proving klapollo was real.

Iris is released from prison and is around for a case. Maybe pearl visits with her idk

I wouldn't want it overrun with cameos to the point it forgets to be its own game but i would never turn up my nose at Franziska. She CANNOT be the primary prosecutor though at best she comes back for the final case.

[clownowo]

I was fighting for my life trying to make that joke work when I first came up with it but I’m still disappointed it doesn’t look more like a real name. What kind of name is Arpie. Thinking about it. Maybe Star Pieffe..? The st obfuscates the joke some but it makes it more name like. Star also kind of works as a joke about celebrities ?

I suppose I could also do it as the initials are RPF. But that’s even more subtle— unless they use the initials in game in which case it’s too blatant

Anyway I’ve drawn her. Apparently this was 2 years ago goddamn

It is so fucking funny to me how easily scandalized some people are wym callout post for a cannibalism kink. Grow up. This is the nothingburger leagues and you're throwing up in the stands

my dad is very intensely involved a battle with his city’s public administration over a playground they have tried to forcibly remove like five times in the past 20 years and DID remove once in like 2005 but then had to rebuild because my dad was such a pain in their asses and came through with undeniable receipts of the zoning plan from the 60s/the historic/cultural value of the urban planning…. like there’s a woman in the city office who is his arch nemesis. he is literally the daredevil of urban planning

"why do men watch porn instead of just having sex with their girlfriends?" is already silly for numerous reasons, but seeing it being used as like. a feminist talking point is so crazy to me because like of the implication that being in a relationship means being available for sex all the time, which you know. doesn't feel great for women i think.

[quasi-normalcy]

One important thing to remember about being a trillionaire is that it doesn't actually have any meaning. He's long since gathered more money than he could ever spend, it's just keeping score. You don't seize the money, you seize the property. But it is a nice reminder of how obscene the system thatnwe live under actually is, and what absurdities it produces. Anyways, Death to Capitalism.

[appendingfic]

to expand upon a little more, a substantial portion of the wealthiest people's wealth comes in the form of stock - ownership in businesses which are "valued" at $exty

the traditional understanding of a stock's value is that it represents the value of all assets (net liabilities) owned by the business, but the speculation market means there is also a secondary component which is the "expectation the stock will increase in value in the future"

so if someone has "a trillion dollars", a lot of that is a bunch of markers that COULD allow them to liquidate various businesses for cash if they wanted to, but is in reality just sort of pretend

[quasi-normalcy]

Yeah, he's literally a trillionaire because he arbitrarily set an IPO for SpaceX stock that would put him over the line. It means nothing.
