hi, sorry for cluttering your askbox.. I just wanted to share some info about Chat Control...
Because it's dangerous for the whole European Union, but it can be especially dangerous for minorities in the EU.
The EU wants to scan all of our messages (including these that are supposed to be E2E). Almost all countries support CC 2.0, 3 are against CC 2.0 but for CC 1.0 (which allows scanning DMs on Instagram, Discord, Xbox, emails on Gmail etc.) and only Italy is against all CC.
I'm scared for queers, disabled folks and racial & ethnic minorities in the EU. If the EU passes CC, governments will have easy access to all our messages. And governments will have an easier way to find out which accounts are owned by folks who are queer, disabled, POC or a part of ethnic minority. :(
more on CC: https://fightchatcontrol.eu/
I'm sorry if I'm cluttering the inbox but I'm scared and sad because I don't really see people talking about it.
Hey, no need to be sorry, I had no other asks and I always welcome people to use the inbox if they need.
I had no idea this was a thing, that's incredibly upsetting. We know that letting governments do automated scans is sure to target innocent content and that this doesnt help children be safe. Removing privacy for everyone and making way for mass surveillance is not gonna help anyone, that's fucking dangerous. I cant even imagine the impact this will have on minorities already targeted with "dangerous predators" rethoric, even aside from the fact that this allows for surveillance of all texts. My immediate reaction is also that queer kids and trans kids will be less able to get help when they're targeted and that any kid who is being abused wont be able to talk about it. Public platforms cant even ensure the safety of users on public posts which are already monitored.
Learn about the EU Chat Control proposal and contact your representatives to protect digital privacy and encryption.
Im surprised Italy is the only one against, both because there should be more pushback and also because I didnt think *italy* out of everyone would've been the one to say no.
Anyway, thank you for letting me know and giving me a way to learn more about it.
the fact that you didn't know about it makes me even more worried. Most people in the EU probably aren't aware of that, even though the initial proposal was in the *2022*.
I don't follow the media much besides what I see on Tumblr, but when I search up online anything about chat control, the only articles are from the month ago and same with posts on Facebook. This is so depressing.
Yeah, Id never heard of it before, it's wild to think about because it really feels like it should be more of a discussion. Ill try to bring up the subject with people I know
your scientist looks gnc as fuck
psst.... i drew the full outfit... 👀
Types of Amnesia
Diagram created by me
General criteria for amnesia:
Memory loss
Confusion
Inability to recognize familiar figures/places
Difficulty recalling names or places
Not remembering where you went
Worser ability to remember things that had happened Post on how to handle these kinds of amnesia: click here!
Generalized Amnesia Where a person completely forgets everything about themself and have no recollection of what, where, and who they spoke to. This can describe a blackout switch and may still recognize who they are.
Localized Amnesia Where a person is unable to recall a specific/series of event from the whole, which creates an incomplete picture of the situation. For example, remembering childhood but not the abuse.
Selective Amnesia Where a person only lost some and retain the rest, forgetting parts yet not all of them. This can describe greyouts as it grasps some information/sensory yet not enough to tell what exactly happened. One example is playing the phone and unable to recall what occured, only to jump its memory right to being at bed.
Emotional Amnesia Where a person has an intact memory and it's details on what had happened, but do not remember what the event feels like (e.g. was scared, happy, etc.). One description is that you're watching something that didn't happen to you, because you don't feel like being in the scene itself.
Continuous Amnesia Where a person fails to retain full parts of the event/day, for a set period of time (can vary from minutes to days) and create an accumulative, small bits of selective amnesias, continuously, leaving many gaps in a chronological timeline. This usually happens in times or stress, or abuse.
Fragmented Amnesia Where a person has an unrelated, and/or disjointed memories that does not go with the timeline's order, creating confusion and difficult to grasp the cohesive picture of what truly happened. Emotional amnesia may be present in this type. Bonus for systems:
Amnesia barriers Where a person fronting is not able to recall other alter's memories, which is a form of retrograde amnesia and compartmentalization. Because the fronter will only retain any information before switching out with the next one, the rest experiences anterograde amnesia as it cannot form and remember those memories, unless being coconcious or cofronting (even though, this is not always guaranteed).
Take notes that amnesia can still happen outside system things due to comorbidities like anxiety disorders or depression, this does mean systems are bound to experience more amnesia compared to non-systems folks out there.
Do you have any discussions about this? Or would like to describe your own way of seeing these different types of amnesia? Or have more to add? Feel free to tell them here!

What’s your favorite rotom form? Can include the naked one or the stuff you can’t battle with like the phone and whatever it’s doing at the Galar PCs
I rly like the base and dex forms too but if I had to be one id be the oven
You originally get them from a crt too just sayin
They’ve got a similar vibe in the way that they snile sneetly to me
Went to see if TV Rotom was a thing because I was curious and would've drawn Tenna as a Rotom if I had the energy
Oh god people beat me to it
i saw a post on the internet when I was young saying people with paraphilias are subhuman scum and they should die. i agreed at the time but recently i've realized a lot of paraphiles are very disturbed by their disorder and stuff like thst
this is ableism.
This is still paramisia from the anon.
You do not need to be disturbed by your paraphilia to be worthy of life. How you feel about your paraphilia is irrelevant. Its the way you treat others that dictates whether or not you are a good person.
And even bad people aren't "subhuman", bad actions do not dictate humanity. A bad human is still a human. This logic being applied onto paraphiles would be considered nonsensical in any other context. See this post [link.]
Put this in another context - should I feel overwhelmingly ashamed of myself for having thoughts of murder? Or should I accept those thoughts as a neutral thing, because they're in my mind, and I'm not actually harming anyone? The answer is obviously the second. The first conclusion would be extremely unhealthy to live like that, feeling that way.
Paraphilias do not typically disappear, so saying someone should feel constant shame over their paraphilia is basically saying "live the rest of your life in shame."
Body language is completely unique to every single individual person and the science of body language is almost if not completely unreliable and if I have to listen to one more person claim they can “read” me by my body language I’m gonna flip.
MULTIPLE people in my life have told me they can “tell” I’m “self conscious” because I look at my feet when I walk and they say it like they want me to open up about some social insecurities, like I have some wall they’re about to break down and we’ll have a moment
And I tell them the same truth every single time:
As a kid we had two MASSIVE Holly trees in the backyard and my dad and my uncle, both well meaning but perhaps poor planners, said “yes a great place for a swing set is directly beneath those.”
So they built it there and the issue is that entire section of yard was a Minefield of dried Holly leaves with one final mission before they became dirt which was to Stab themselves into a child’s foot
And being that my siblings and I had some feral rage aversion to wearing shoes, we took to running to the swings on our tiptoes, staring at the ground for the leaves
And to this DAY I still look at the ground when I walk out of habit formed by a decade of that
And NO body language guide and NO BBC Sherlock wannabe would EVER source that
“I can tell you’re lying because you’re playing with your hair.”
I’m playing with my hair because I have ADHD and can’t stay still.
“I can tell you’re lying because you’re looking up and to the side.”
I’m looking up and to the side because I have ADHD and can’t hear you if I’m looking directly at you.
“I can tell…”
shut up shut up shut up shut up
Isn’t amazing how much of neurodivergent body language is considered ‘indications of lying’?
“your phone has scratches therefore you’re an alcoholic” -> moffat i semiregularly walk into walls and i have never consciously had alcohol in my life, you think i’ll be able to plug in my phone correctly?
“you’re not making eye contact” -> i’m autistic and my family, fortunately for me (and, tragically, unusually) didn’t feel the need to hammer masking into me so i don’t tend to make eye contact
“the inside of your ring is cleaner than the outside, so you don’t clean it as much so you’re cheating on your partner” -> moffat i don’t fucking have a partner, it’s cleaner cause i have adhd. it’s a struggle for me to do basic self care you think i can clean a ring?
“you’re wearing one glove in summer, that’s sus” -> i’m wearing one glove because one of my body-focused repetitive behaviors is to scratch at myself so when it gets bad i try to cover up the area affected, but also, as you noted, it’s summer, so i don’t want to glove both hands.
“your eyes are dilated therefore you’re in love” -> they usually are moffat! i once got an eye exam that required them to put in the thing that makes your pupils big and didnt really notice much of a difference.
“you’re humming this nonsensical thing that doesn’t make sense again and again” -> i got a hebrew prayer stuck in my head. ain’t my fault you don’t know hebrew.
i didn’t set out to make all of the examples moffat instead of gatiss or the third guy but i can’t say i mind

The r-word isn't comparable to words like "idiot"
I got a comment that said "the r-word is not a slur".
The person linked an article (link). The person made that article.
The person says that the special olympics does not explain that the r-word "is any more hurtful or bullying than 'intellectually disabled'."
I am going to explain that the r-word is hurtful here.
The R-word Directly Refers To Those With IDDs
The R-word was still being used by doctors in the 2000s (years). The word was used for IDDs.
Words like idiot, moron, and stupid, are not used for IDDs in medicine.
The R-word was used specifically for IDDs.
The Difference of Saying The R-Word Or Intellectually Disabled
Words can change over time.
In 2010 doctors stopped using the R word.
The R-word was replaced with "Intellectual Disability".
Doctors use intellectual disability because the R-word was used to hurt people.
The word stopped being used by doctors.
People started using the r-word to insult people with IDDs.
Doctors stopped using the r-word to stop insulting people.
Intellectually disabled can be used as an insult but it is not.
The r-word has a history of insults.
The History of The R-word
The R-word means "to slow".
Doctors in the 1900s (year) used to use "idiot" as a correct word.
"Idiot" would become an insult.
Doctors used the r-word to stop insults later in time.
The r-word was used for IDDs and low intelligence.
This made the r-word an insult.
Intellectual Disability replaced the r-word so it would not insult others.
The r-word was used in a time of abuse.
People with IDDs in the 1900's (year) were abused by doctors.
The r-word has that history of abuse.
The word disabled isn't like the r-word.
The word disabled doesn't have the history of the r-word.
Disabled can be used as an insult but it doesn't have the history of the r-word.

Neurodivergent here. Would you be willing to explain the differences between sympathy / empathy vs Kindness / Compassion? Or maybe have any good resources to use for this explanation?
I want to understand properly so I dont mistake them, and internet resources are giving me conflicting information.
Sure! This topic is very important to me.
Empathy - feeling what you perceive other people feel. For example, if you see someone feeling sad, you feel sad yourself. If you see someone happy, you feel happy too. Example: A stranger you don't know is excited about being accepted into college. You feel excitement in yourself, as if you yourself were accepted into college.
Sympathy - feeling upset for someone, even if you do not empathize. For example, you see someone crying over the loss of their pet. You feel sad for them, but you don't feel like you are experiencing *their sadness* - with empathy, you'd feel like you lost your pet too. With sympathy, you just feel sorry that they did.
Kindness - a choice of behaviors. You may feel no empathy, no sympathy, you may not even like the individual, but you choose to do good things because its the right thing to do.
Compassion - acts of kindness done with sympathetic consciousness. Sympathetic consciousness isn't the same as sympathetic *emotion* - you may not actually feel sympathy on an emotional level, but you are aware that you "should" feel sorry for them, so you do something kind or comforting.
There's one example on reddit that I found of someone explaining how empathy can be used to harm, and I think its pretty important. Empathy is a neutral emotion that only really does good when paired with kind choices. It may motivate someone to be kind, or it may motivate someone to be dismissive and avoidant - empathy itself is not a good indicator of morals.
I will add, though, that this person is speaking as if compassion and kindness are interchangeable, when they are not. So let me add some new examples.
High empathy, low kindness, low compassion: Your friend's hamster just died. Over messages, you don't really grasp that they're upset. Once they call you, though, and you hear their distressed voice, you realize they are distressed, and are overwhelmed with empathy, feeling as though it was *your* pet you lost. You hang up the call and ignore them - it's too much of a hassle to deal with that kind of emotional distress right now, they can go find somewhere else to deal with it.
(See how the person didn't have the compassionate understanding that the person was upset from the get-go? When they *did* realize they were upset, the empathy overwhelmed them, and they *chose* to be unkind by ghosting their friend instead of communicating that it is too overwhelming for them right now.)
High kindness, low empathy, low compassion: Your friend's hamster died. Over messages, you don't really get that you're supposed to be feeling sorry for them, so you don't say or do anything comforting. Its only when they call you crying that you realize they are upset, and grab some food to talk it out with them.
(See how the person didn't have the compassionate understanding that the person was upset from the get-go? But when they *did* realize they were upset, they *chose* to do something kind, despite feeling no compassion or empathy about it.)
Low compassion, high kindness, high empathy example: Your friends hamster died. Over messages, you don't really get that you're supposed to be feeling sorry for them, so you don't say or do anything comforting. When they call you crying, though, you are hit with a wave of distress at the sounds of their cries, and feel as though you lost the hamster yourself. You decide to go over to their house to comfort them, sobbing all the while - or, if its too much for you, you gently inform them that you'll be ordering them doordash, but that you're too overwhelmed to go over to them yourself right now.
(See how the person didn't realize they were upset at first, because they don't have compassion? But when they did realize, the empathy hit them all at once, and - unlike the first example - they *chose* to do something kind.)
I consider myself a highly compassionate and sympathetic. And I can say it most definitely skews my judgement. It's not fun at all having everything at full volume. It overrides everything in me and barely gives me a chance to step back and see the whole picture because one bit of it is speaking to me so so loudly it becomes too overwhelming to think of anything else.
I became biased. Extremely biased. My compassion does not always make me a good person.
This is actually so real

Every time I think about what the New York Times did to Susan Doku, I get a bit enraged inside
In case you don't know, Susan Doku, inventor of popular number puzzle game Sudoku, was outed as a lesbian by the New York Times in 2003. Many have speculated this was done more or less to slander her to the public so their attempted purchase of exclusive printing rights for the game could be done at a much lower price. She actually lost a lawsuit against the Times, as it was not deemed libelous, given she was in a civil partnership with her now wife, Christina "Chris" Ward.
Susan also lays claim to the first recorded use of the word "polyamorous" in her 1994 essay "81 Squares"
