more enbies in everything, immediately

Hey if you See This can you reblog this or comment on this with a character you headcanon as aromantic, asexual, or both. It can be canon it can be founded on absolutely nothing I just need more aroace stuff on here #yay

what's so appealing about hoods and masks and such is that. like. you're still completely recognizably human but the part of you that people see most has been obscured partially or completely. you become less and less individually recognizable the more your face is covered. you're not really a specific person anymore, you're sort of the concept of a person. a person-object, like a featureless mannequin. like the semiotic sign of a real person. do you get what i'm saying

Thinking about that post about how the two cyborg genders in the Corporation Rim are 'soldier' and 'sex worker' and part of Murderbot's journey is figuring out which parts of its assigned gender role it wants to remix and keep vs which parts it needs to discard bc I agree with it a lot. but also that binary leaves out the fact that the non-cyborg full robots have additional delightful robot gender roles such as 'taxi cab', 'motel-scale roomba', 'draft horse', and 'HAL but chaotic good or at least neutral'

I'm a pacifist like institutionally but I'm absolutely certain that violence solves at least some problems on a much smaller level. I don't believe in wars or nuclear weapons or military campaigns I do believe in the power of that guy who punched the nazi in the face so hard his entire media presence immediately crumbled to dust

From one white neurodivergent queer person to god knows how many others, your queerness or neurodivergence does not put you in the same shoes as POC. There is no cocktail of labels that can cancel out your whiteness and make you incapable of being racist. You need to be normal about this fact.

People in stories who get a dramatic phone call always hop in their cars and go “I’m two hours away. I’ll be there in one hour.” and then they are. It’s always half the time. It’s never, “I’m two hours away. I’ll be there in an hour and fifty minutes.” And sometimes it’s not even life or death! Love interest will be like, “what are we?” and suddenly some subaru is going 150 mph up the median on I-5. Everyone’s gonna fuckin throw tomatoes at me and hiss for my brave, controversial take, but I don’t think you should tokyo drift thru a school zone just so you can eat pussy sixty minutes ahead of schedule.

can we bring back the term "fair-weather friend" bc I feel like if fair-weather friends got called that more this whole argument about whether or not you should be there for your friends when it's inconvenient/at what point of personal inconvenience it's ok to bail on your friends would kinda fall apart bc like. we literally have a word for "friend who's only there when you don't need something from them" because the baseline expectation is that a friend should be there even when it sucks. like we used to make fun of people for bailing on their friends.

we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

I reblogged this like 9 times kinda jokingly, but software should be able to run on older and less powerful hardware, and consume less power on newer hardware. Like, this is a real problem imo

I completely agree with this but I do need you to understand that the image above is 32 times the size of the lunar mission’s memory
