There's this interesting phenomenon where when you're a child, or some other vulnerable minority dependent on a job for shelter, you are actually under duress almost constantly. You can't say "I don't want to work today," you cannot say "I don't want to do the dishes, actually," you cannot choose not to participate. In a lot of cases, the punishment is explicit. Your parents might yell at you. Your boss might fire you. But in other cases, it's implicit. The mood will sour. You lose leeway. People get mad at you. And that creates a really shitty environment where you're constantly being coerced to do things!

And here's the kicker; you're not allowed to acknowledge that. You cannot acknowledge that you are being coerced, you cannot acknowledge that your free will is not being respected, because that's punished too. Your boss insists that you act excited. Your parents punish you for acting surly. You are forced to fake enthusiastic consent, constantly. It's a fucking nightmare. Your hand is being forced, you do not have the option to say "no," and if you ever, for a second, try to acknowledge that, everyone acts like you're the aggressor.

"Who would you choose to play you in a movie about your life?"

My life is not nearly exciting or dramatic enough to be turned into a movie and I'd like to keep it that way.

There is nothing a gay person can say to a straight person that's meaner or more devastating than what a gay person can say to another gay person

They closed the Death Wendy's over a year ago and I'm still mad about it. It was a Wendy's located in the middle of a six-way intersection, requiring many pedestrians to cross the street 3 times in a row in order to get to it

It was one of the city's top ten spots for car crashes, multiple people died there, and the service was terrible. I miss it dearly

When I was little I ate a sandwich my classmates HATED. Some said they couldn’t even sit next to me because it made them nauseous. I guess to be fair this was at a time when I had to buy The Ingredient at the international store because they didn’t sell it here in the usa. But their disgust didn’t stop me from living my trust and neither should you stop living yours

Anyways it was just a Nutella sandwich btw but it was well before people here know what that was

I also had liverwurst sandwiches but some reason I didn’t get has much hate for that

HOWLING at the reveal of what The Ingredient was

I humbly suggest that true crime freaks should get into learning about scammers instead of serial killers. I LOVE reading about fraud and grifts and pyramid schemes. true crime ppl have all this paranoid energy about murder, which is rare in the grand scheme of things.....maybe instead that could be channeled into some productive rage toward capitalism.

So my 14 year old has an idea that he's calling the "Million Adam Smashers" argument. The reference is from Cyperpunk 2077, where there is a character, Adam Smasher, who has turned himself into a living tank, a complete cyborg in which the only thing still human is his literal brain. My son's argument is this: as a creator--a writer, game designer, manga artist, whatever--you need to ask yourself, why is this guy unique? Why are there not a million Adam Smashers? All you need is money, connections, and a specific mindset that allows you to cope with or disregard your supposed lack of "humanity", and you too can be Adam Smasher. And he's right; there should be dozens, hundreds of rich assholes who might otherwise get into racing or yachts or something but if you can become a terrifying cyborg capable of stopping a car with one hand, at least some people, out of the billions in the universe, would choose that. Why don't Arasaka and Militech just have twenty Adam Smashers apiece?

More broadly, he's making a point about fictional characters, usually main characters--is what makes them special, you know....actually special? Are they the main character because these things happened to them, or did these things happen because they're the main character? Why are they Adam Smasher, and not someone else? It's a test; a check to make sure you're not favoring the character because you're enamored with that character.

I think it's an interesting mental exercise. Take a good look at your universe and your characters and make sure that if there's only one Adam Smasher, only one Captain America, only one Rock Lee, only one Joker, there's a good reason.

looms and 3d printers are similar in that they take the one dimensional and turn it into higher dimensions.

looms take a line and turn them into an area and 3d printers take a line and turn it into a volume, cant wait until we invent something that turns a line into a tesseract

Me: I would like to adopt a cat.

GPS: Okay! Here are directions to the shelter you want to go to.

Me: Wonderful! -drives there-

Me: ...

Me: ...This is a grove of trees.

GPS: Yes. :)

Me: I put in the address for the animal shelter.

GPS: Yes. :)

Me: So...where is it?

GPS: Here. :)

Me: Just to be clear, I want to adopt a cat. Not have myself be adopted by the fey.

GPS: :) Have you considered following the stone path over this mysterious hill? :)

Me: ...Sure. Why fucking not.

Me: Huh. Look at that. An animal shelter.
