I think the best part of Murderbot is its staunch belief that it’s average at its job, and it only does better because it doesn’t have a working governor module

It’s always like, I’m just a SecUnit, the only reason I’m better is because humans somehow have worse judgement than me in my very narrow field of expertise, and I have the ability to process multiple things at once, and I don’t die when I get my shit wrecked. None of these are advantages over other bots, so I’m actually just average as far as skills go.

Meanwhile, Murderbot’s track record is something like ‘regularly takes out other SecUnits, regularly hacks fairly complicated systems, takes out multiple hostiles while saving and protecting clients/hostages, beat two Combat Bots in succession, and went toe to toe with a Combat SecBot while taking out two other SecUnits, rounding it off with inhabiting spaceships and crushing the incredibly difficult and malicious killware infecting them.’

That’s not even counting the guts, skill, and determination it takes to hack your own hardware/code which is fully capable of frying your brain in the first place

Yeah pretty much

If you see a snake that has a lizard head or that blinks, it’s a legless lizard

And I never thought about it before but yeah, salamander are lizards with frog heads

Efts are a pretty good example of this

They aren’t slimy like a good number of salamanders so they kinda look like little lizards

But

Frog head

I can't do much but maybe this will interest someone. This cookbook is by a classically trained autistic chef, made for people with sensory issues. It's sold 1/6th of its initial run because apparently no one wants to have an autistic person interviewed on TV.

Apparently it's also very funny.

Spread this around! I bet someone here can use this.

i hate driving. here are the laws! if you break them there will be consequences! except youre also expected to break the law just a little bit. people will get mad at you if you dont. you dont have right of way but the person who does is waving you forward for some reason. here's the speed limit! it's not the speed limit, the actual speed limit is that plus ~5-10. the light is green but you're in the turning lane. can you go? should you have gone just then? the person behind you is honking at you. there's a weird noise coming from your engine; if you try to do the right thing and get it checked out, will you get scammed? you are driving a 1-2 ton metal machine rocketing at speeds unknown to humankind for most of history. around a million people die in car accidents every year; that's about one person every thirty seconds. if you take that seriously and try to drive safely then people get mad at you.

fatphobia and ableism is so insidious. You can look up like, food, and it'll say "eating a lot of food causes diabetes" and you're like oh dang what? I thought we didn't know the cause of diabetes. So you look up what causes diabetes and it says "we still don't know what causes diabetes" bruh they're just making shit up to give people eating disorders

reading progressive sex ed caricatures with accurate and detailed and realistic diagrams of sexual organs + shows their variation, but all i can think about is how there is no discussion of what srs is besides the fact that it exists

Look, I'm not a political blog at all. But what RFK Jr is trying to do goes to show how much we've thrown high support needs autistics under the bus.

Because he's not talking about the autistics posting online about how they work and pay taxes.

He's talking about the non-speaking ones who have been posting on this app for years that they're in danger and LSN autistics bullied into either leaving or until only a few remain who still face backlash.

He's talking about the ones we aren't on here screaming into a void because they can't write or speak. And LSN autistics rallied louder until autism awareness came to look like we're all just LSN.

He's talking about the ones with carers who want them to be put through experiments to see if they can be cured because autistics bullied carers into their own part of the internet until they were stuck in an echo room of hate.

No, not all autistics. But it's what we've become known for.

It's about time we fucking stopped trying to say "But I can work!" And instead ask "why do those who can't matter less to these people?"

And don't think that if you're not in America this won't affect us. This ideology is everywhere and they're frothing at the mouth to join.

shoutout to autistic people who have memory issues and can't remember many things about your special interests. you don't need to be able to remember things for the interests to be valid or important to you! if you enjoy them that's what matters

Obviously the bulk of my psyche is devoted to solemn concern and unfettered rage vis a vis the whole “let’s put autistic people on a list and round them up” situation

But another, not-insignificant part of me is loitering on a stoop with 3 to 4 goons, cigarette hanging from my lip, and saying “Hey Robbie! I got the cause of autism for ya RIGHT HERE” and aggressively grabbing my genitals as my goons chortle

Crafts are good because it lets your brain run loose for a while, unrestrained. Like a dog unleashed on a field just running loops out of sheer glee. And you tune out until it runs past you with a shred of a song in its teeth, shaking it like it's a 3/4 carcass of a rabbit, zooming past you and all you hear is

come mr. Taliban, tally me banana

And you're like hold on where the hell did you get that. Those aren't even the right lyrics.
