amelia bedelia if you dont wanna read a counter reply written in mildly-triggered annoyance to your own counter reply, then skip this one. no skin off my back

hate to be the bearer of bad news, but humans are perfectly capable of cartoonish evils, the current state of the world makes that very apparent. some parents DO believe that their kids are their property to do with as they wish until that kid either turns 18 or gets married off. that mindset is baked into fundamentalist christian ideology, of which LOTS of folks unknowingly follow the core principles of due to its permeation within secular culture (the permeation of which is a feature of the evangelical branch of christianity).

"... and that it is always harmful to do things without their consent" do you know why those parents think their own consent is higher in priority than the consent of their child for any activity involving the child in question? because they believe the child is not their own person, because they believe the child is fundamentally a material piece of property of which they (the parents) have the final say over. believing that the parent is the only person suited to guide and raise a child is a fundamentalist christian belief, the type of belief that the american dream nuclear family concept is based around.

i dont know what person in your life made you feel like you needed to place doubt on a very much so accurate blanket statement, but it does no good to people for whom that reality was their own when someone denies their experiences in service of a horizontally adjacent point. two things can be true at once. sorry you have to find out that some parents are, in fact, cartoonishly bad via tumblr post.

behold! the most touted around bible verse regarding parent/child relationships in the eyes of god!

PSALMS 127:3-5 (NKJV) 3 - Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. 4 - Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth. 5 - Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate. not to completely derail OPs post (too late), but the seeping of christian principles and ideals into non-christian ideologies should not be downplayed when talking about politics, especially in america or with americans (the country founded by puritans, the founding fathers of modern day fundamentalist christian sects). speak to a fundamentalist christian about if children are their own person or the parents child, and theyll tell you the child is their child and not their own person, because children are gods gift to parents. you are supposed to go out and have a bunch of kids, not because you love kids, but because each kid is a warrior of god in the fight against evil. there are sooooo many bible verses that people hide behind when denying their childrens autonomy, to deny the existence of cartoonish evil is to subject everyone around you to benny hill levels of villainy. im tired of running away from fundie xstian ideology through countless non-christian doors because other people refuse to pull the mask off of bigfoot and confront that it was their relatives under there doing jesus propaganda the whole time. look inward. the call is coming from inside the house, but your phone is on silent.

most cartoonishly evil pro-life talking point i've ever seen was "oh so you think minors should be allowed to get an abortion without parental consent?" wait. wait so you think a parent should be allowed to veto a minor's abortion? you think parents should be allowed to force a 12 year old to give birth? against their will? you think it should be allowed and legal to do that? you think it's a problem that parents are not allowed to force a literal child to give birth?

Holy **** oh right okay. So I was about to make a post about how using speech to text has already been a game changer for me but as you can see by the line of asterix at the start of this post the bloody thing auto censors swear words. (Yet bloody got through, ig Because it is a description and also British slang.). Hint: the word I was trying to say there starts with F and ends with K.

Oh and guess what else you can't say you can't say? **** [Nipples]. had to type that myself. penis is ok but **** [clitoris] isn't, and all my attempts to say "clit" were Misunderstood, which may just be my speech but at this point I am not willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Vagina is OK too but every time I say it there is a moment when an * shows up on screen first before the full word does. this doesn't happen when I say the word penis.

It is completely heinous. Anybody who needs speech to text is immediately forced to comply with the rules set out by people in a position of power and then enforced by a machine — a machine that is a very powerful accessibility tool. Imagine trying to dictate a letter to a doctor or fill in an E consult with speech to text, only to have words of your anatomy censored as if they are taboo. there is already far too much stigma around genital physical health — and note that I could say genital but can't say **** [clitoris] — for it to be okay for these words to be censored.

And even if somebody just wants to swear In a message to their friends or write smut/**** [pornography], they should be able to. There is no justification for this feature. No reason for it to be default.

I'm trying to find a way around this. There is a settings icon on the little speech to text bar that comes up, but this only gives me options For the speech typing launcher, auto punctuation, and to set the default microphone. it's making me extremely angry
