girl dad not as in a dad with daughters but as in a girl who shares the tastes habits and personality traits of a middle aged father

First like and this has already found its intended audience

uh oh

I learned a new concept

Graceful degradation is the ability of a computer, machine, electronic system or network to maintain limited functionality even when a large portion of it has been destroyed or rendered inoperative. The purpose of graceful degradation is to prevent catastrophic failure. (Tech Target, first result on the search engine)

Literal opposite of planned obsolescence. I love you graceful degradation.

Oh neat the first time I heard of the concept the guy described it to me as "catastrophic functionality".

He was talking about it in the context of designing robots that would go in and stop nuclear reactor meltdowns, something that would 100% destroy the robot, but they would be designed to keep functioning and fighting the meltdown for as long as possible. He had some designs where over 80% of the robot has died and it was functionally dragging its corpse around by its one working arm because one more minute of functionality might save thousands.

I've been having a few bad years mental health wise, and thinking about those robots a lot .

This is why NASA rovers last so long, it's anticipated they will be breaking the moment the deploy. In fact they are expected to have a few things break during the transit or landing.

This was shared as a "bad" joke but I was so charmed by it I've been thinking about it for days.

Yeah just a heads up. If you start judging people by bodyshape in any way I'll kick you right in the teeth. Have fun describing someone's face shape as inferior when your jaw is gone

this video explains it pretty well for anyone that needs a video format!

So there's another thing this reminded me of.

First of all, I'm glad he spoke about the incel community because they have been using repackaged Nazi ideologies regarding physical traits for years now and I didn't really see anyone talking about it besides "They think they don't get dates because of their jaw shape but they're just horrible to be around". Yes, but also their far-right ideas aside from their (already really bad) trad wife fantasies.

Second, I was thinking of last year, when terfs on Twitter demanded the logo of Women's March to be changed. The logo (shown below) consists of three silhouettes. The complaint was that the one in the front resembled a man. There's not many articles but this one states that Women's March took the stand of trans women being women. Why am I talking about this? Here's the logo:

The face in the front is what they call a witch skull above. I agree with Women's March's standpoint of trans women being women. What I ALSO think is that female-born women can also develop a face shape like that. This is NOT the face shape of a man either way.

We all need to be more careful with the content we consume in a time like this were far-right ideas are on the rise and hidden SO WELL that people who are 1) young 2) only occasionally on social media 3) not that educated/interested in history/social sciences/gender studies won't detect it. There's nothing wrong with either of those but these people need to be picked up. Like, I've been on the internet forever and when girl dinner dropped I was like "hell yeah I can't cook either tf". You see how fast "girl dinner" escalated into "besides girl dinner is also girl this and girl that because women can't do anything and are inferior".

Also, if you're a woman associating with far-right ideas I PROMISE you you will be their target eventually. In the beginning this was anti-trans and you might not have cared or even agreed, now it's plain race hygiene and you might still not care, but next there will be another category to determine who is a valuable, worthy woman and who is not and then another. You might be proud to have an angel skull now and feel super feminine and special but I promise this is just the beginning of 2020s political radicalization. We need to be more careful.
