Who runs this blog?

I do. It literally says it right there in the blog's feed address.

How often does this blog post?

2x a day or 3x a day, or less if I forgot to put things in the queue. I do have other shit to do, you know.

Why haven't you answered my ask yet?

Seriously, I have a very busy schedule. I answer stuff in between watching new episodes of Timestream Defenders Orion and getting shot at. Or your question was weird and I don't want to. (Also, I'm fucking introverted, okay)

I hope your friend ART is better at "complaining" than me, because WHO COULD HAVE EVER PREDICTED that even benign tumors can cause problems.

My question is this: How do I get a rogue SecUnit to take its own function more seriously than the data security of my fucking baby pictures?

Unfortunately for you ART has completely inoculated me against big-words based scare tactics. Just call it “splice zone” like everyone else, you aren’t smarter for using 6x the syllables. Also cells growing and replicating in splice zones normal. I have it on good authority that if cells didn’t do that, augmented humans and and constructs would crumble to dust even faster than they do already.

I have not heard of this one. My interest would hinge upon whether Mark beefs it or not.

Admittedly it's difficult to have hope when everything is always going to shit, or when you don't have any control over your own life.

I don't think I let myself have hope in anything until some time after my clients bought my contract out from the company. Before that my life was trash. Literally. I was just surviving the cycles waiting for the eventual moment when human stupidity caused me to beef it and get dumped in the recycler. There was no space for me to imagine hope.

Even after I left the company it took a while for me to internalize that having a future that I could determine for myself was a real thing and not hypothetical.

Nowadays though... a lot of stuff still sucks. A lot about my existence in society objectively sucks. I'm legally an object and a weapon in vast stretches of the universe. And even in places where I'm technically a "person," I'm still a fucking SecUnit, okay. For the majority of people when you tell them to picture a SecUnit, they picture a gun used to keep people in line.

But do I have hope in some things. Maybe it's stupid. Or maybe not. I'm in a place now where I can see people trying to make things better. Pin-Lee has been working on improving bot rights stuff in Preservation. ART and its crew try to keep corporates from turning human lives into profit. And I even helped make a film that helped a whole bunch of people understand what indenture is, and why they should avoid it all costs.

The answer is yes of course. They're constantly cancelling, censoring, or re-cutting interesting shows. Not to mention inconsistent availability between systems. You get versions that were adjusted for sale within specific jurisdictions, or special-release editions that were only available for a short promotion, or half a season made and then the funding contract fell through. Etc.

Hunting down copies of media that weren't widely circulated is part of the fun. But some things just don't exist and I wish they did. So, yes, if I could erase guns from existence, and be able to magically acquire any rare or cancelled media, that would be pretty cool.
