Thinking about how strange it would feel to a Cybertronian to have a human inside their altmode. They have these forms, but prior to earth, prior to us, no one would ever touch anything inside their altmodes most likely. Much less climb inside. Why would they? These surfaces are meant to look the part of the vehicle they’re becoming, but not really to be handled. How sensitive would everything in there be?

And you’ve got Cybertronians agreeing to take their human friend or partner for a drive. They might think it’d be fun to play the part. Or maybe they just don’t trust your own driving. But then you’re sliding into the driver’s seat and they realize how big a mistake they just made. You slide a hand against the inside of the door as you climb in and they sink down on their shocks at the unexpected touch to make you almost hit your head getting in. They can feel you, the weight and warmth of you cradled in their seat. Aware of you in ways they’ve never been before.

Soft hands caressing their steering wheel, playing with radio dials out of curiosity while this Cybertronian is fighting for their very life. You’re touching everything. Touching them in ways no one ever has. Your field is washing into them and they can’t get away from it, can’t block it out. Please, don’t play with the gear shift, they can put themselves into gear and it feels obscenely good when you do that. You have no idea what you’re doing to them and they’re too mortified to just tell you. They’re flustered, but loving that you’re tucked away inside them, trusting yourself completely to them.

And you’re asking them if they’re okay feeling them trembling around you, engine stuttering and almost whining. The more worried you get, the more tactile you are and they’re dying, almost taking out a mailbox because they’re so distracted with you and the intimacy they just got blindsided by. They barely get you where you’re going and they make a funny noise when you slide yourself back out of the driver’s seat. Alone and waiting on you to come back, struggling to get themselves under control as their fans cycle. Overwhelmed and aching because they’re missing the feeling of you safe inside them, being able to have you there scratching a protective itch they never knew they had.

hey yall, i wanna post some public bus etiquette since there are always new riders on the bus who may not know this.

note: this is a public bus in michigan, usa, so if there are any differences anywhere else feel free to add on!

1: always have your bus fare or pass ready before boarding.

2: when boarding, make sure to let the passengers that are exiting off before you get on

3: let people with walkers, strollers, canes, wheelchairs, etc off and on the bus first. they need certain accessable seats and can need help on and off the bus, whether that be a helping hand or the ramp to be let down

4: let those on in the front of the bus off first if you are sitting in the back, especially if there is only one door available. it makes for an easier departure for those getting off the bus

5: often there is no eating, drinking, or smoking allowed on the bus. honor those rules unless there is an emergency where those rules would be broken. example: a diabetic having low bloodsugar

6: dont have phonecalls on speaker if you can help it. its just generally disruptive

7: most importantly, dont be a dick to the driver. theyre doing their job and are usually very nice and helpful. greet them when you get on and say or wave goodbye when you leave

[lttrsfrmlnrrgby]

Some additional bus manners for metro Boston:

8: Don't take the seats for elderly or disabled people if there are others available; if they're the only seats left and you're not elderly or disabled, give up your seat to those folks when they board the bus.

9. If you're able-bodied, offer your seat to anyone who's older, pregnant, disabled, or travelling with little children.

10. Take note of whether people use the back of the bus to get off instead of the front. This can speed up how long a bus has to stop.

11. Use the bell pull or push button to tell the bus driver you want to get off; if the stop is empty the bus driver might not stop there.

12. When you get on, ask the bus driver where your stop is if you're not sure. They will usually call it out for you so that you can take a seat, rather than needing to hang out at the front of the bus and impeding others' getting on quickly.

13. Take off big bags and put them at your feet if the bus is full and you have to stand, so you leave room for others to enter the bus and your bag doesn't hit other riders.

14. Don't put your bags on a seat so no one will sit next to you; everyone else has had or will have a long day, too.

15. Offer to help people with strollers, shopping carts, and big luggage to de-board the bus.

16. Check your transit authority's policies about animals, bicycles, scooters, and other big objects on the bus (and train). Some systems prohibit these, or limit the hours when you can bring them on board. Don't get left on the curb because you weren't planning ahead.

17. Don't distract the driver by trying to make small talk with them; they are manuevering an unwieldy and dangerous vehicle through unpredictable cars and people, and your attempt to be friendly could make things unsafe.

18. Bus rides can be long and sweaty and hot, but people's personal heat tolerances vary-- open the window if you need it, but listen to others' request to close or open the window too.

[carpecake]

Also applies to UK buses, with the additional notes:

19. Take your rubbish with you when you go.

20. If you're at a rural bus stop then you may have to wave the bus down.

21. Look where you're going when you get off the bus.

22. Form an orderly queue when boarding the bus. Pushing and shoving won't get you on any faster.

[vintalksalot]

Canadian rules I've noticed

23. If someone with a big stroller or wheelchair gets on the bus, it is polite to put the seat for them so they or the bus driver don't have to get up and do it. However, only do this if you know how and are close to the front of the bus.

24. Eating or talking is fine on the bus, but don't be loud and don't leave a mess. Take garbage with you.

25. If there are tons of empty seats, don't sit next to someone, especially if they're a stranger and/or a minor travelling alone it is weird. And you will get weird looks.

26. Don't shout unless you NEED the drivers attention for an emergency or a missed stop it's okay.

27. If the bus is full, move to the back of the bus as much as possible. It creates room for people to get on and off.

it's meee I'm your guardian angel hiiiiii 😇 okay🙏 so. in about six months, you're gonna die of starvation. 🥺 and if I don't protect you, I will get: #fired! 🫢 and that is No Good 🙅‍♀️ hahaaa So. 🙏 I looked into causes of starvation, and it turns out: Your death is totally preventable! 😯 Uh oh! 😆 There's more than enough food to sustain you without interfering with anyone else's survival, but you're not allowed to have it! 🤨 Whaaat? 🤷‍♀️ Apparently, your death is premeditated by thousands of things called "shareholders." So. 🙏 I've been killing people,

to raise money, Wikipedia should do that thing CNN did where they sold shirts with headlines on them. I would kill for a shirt that had the article title and Wikipedia layout for Homosexuality in Medieval Europe

Homosexuality in medieval Europe Wikipedia shirt. Unisex Gildan cotton tee with the Wikipedia article on Homosexuality in medieval Europe pr

no killing necessary, you can get any wikipedia page on a shirt from wikishirt and 10% of profit goes to wikipedia

So, like, up until very recently, programming as an activity that people engage in has been defined by the fact that the computer does exactly what you tell it to do. All errors, all frustration on the humans end, ultimately boil down to the programmer misspecifying what they want the computer to do. But now, with so-called "vibe" coding, the computer will actively do things that you explicitly told it not to do.

[theaudientvoid]

Okay, but like, the AI saying that it "panicked instead thinking" is sending me. So, like, two things are going on here.

First, we have a neural net that is trained is receive a written request from a user, and then take actions on a computer system network based on it. The user inputs a series of characters, the neural net does a bunch of matrix operations on them, and then after x iterations of matrix multiplications, it "decides" what to do. To the extend that a neural net can think, it thought just as long and hard about this as it does anything else. In this case, it "chose" the wrong action. This is analogous to using neural nets to do classification on a data set. You have a bunch of rows of data. You have a bunch of rows of organized in columns, and some special variable that you want the neural net to guess. You input the data, the neural net does a bunch of matrix operations, and then it outputs its guess. Sometimes it guessed right, and sometimes it guessed wrong. The goal was to train the model to minimize wrong guesses. In this case, the AI "guessed wrong" about what the user wanted.

But there's another thing that the AI is doing. For path dependent reasons, all artificial intelligence come bundled with a chatbot that's trained to hold a conversation with the user. The user inputs text, and the AI responds with a reply that is "appropriate" to the conversation being had. Right now the AI is role playing a Person Who Just Fucked Up. "I panicked and didn't think" is something that a person who just fucked up would say, so the chatbot says it.

This is why I think that the Helpful Chatbot model of AI is detrimental. It's liable to confuse people and lead them to make incorrect inferences about what's actually happening.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#'i panicked' is so fucking funny to me#and then this guy is demanding the unthinking unfeeling computer bits to apologize to him for lying to him#bro it cant lie to you#you cant threaten it#its just a fucking computer program not a sentient creature#like holy fuck

An anxious murder 🐦💦

[frihtlae]

I am extremely disgusted by the fact people try to shame me for making art about disabilities or chronic illnesses. I always get questions like “why do you make art about disability so much? we get it, you’re disabled.” like yes that’s the point. I am disabled. I make art about what I feel and who I am. I don’t see you shaming people for making LGBT art or POC art or feminism art,art about mental illnesses,etc. People make art that is about them and about what they feel. Artists feel sad? they will make art about it. You always preach how you should make art for yourself first, but when I actually do you shame me because it doesn’t include you or shows a rare light onto issues you choose to ignore. Stop being so offended by disabled people’s existence. We’re here. We ain’t going anywhere. We are allowed to show our feelings and include ourselves into conversations and communities since none of you include us.
