software tinkerer and aspiring rationalist. transhumanist and alterhuman

I try to be very careful about CWing things. sometimes I make mistakes but I want to make my posts as safe to read as possible

I sometimes post NSFW/kinky/lewd things behind CWs

I have very limited energy and am very shy so it might take me a long time to reply to messages sometimes, or I might not be able to reply at all. this is kind of an "output only" account for the most part, but I'm hopeful that I can change that over time

I sometimes use curly braces to {clearly show where a grammatical phrase begins and ends}, like that. you can think of them like parenthesis in code or math, except they operate on grammar instead

if you see me mention #GAGSProject that's this: https://cryptid.cafe/notice/AxJRZIJ0k4hAXnDCsq

Content warning discourse, whiteness
Show content

Person: "white people have an issue with being uncomfortable..."
Yeah ok
"And that's why I don't use content warnings"
blobcatfacepalm

I can see how they reached that conclusion, but it's not right
Having things like a trauma or addiction triggered is not "uncomfortable", they're potentially dangerous situations. And you aren't placed to decide what a "real trigger" is
Further, content warnings are about respect for your audience, giving people agency in what they engage with. This is why one of the more common arguments against them is "this is too important for a CW", on some level they don't want to respect people's agency

IMO, you can see this in the sort of people who object to content warnings. It's mostly people who are arguing that they shouldn't have to think about other people and what's needed to build psychological safety
I'll use their example of politics: the constant bombardment of political news is a major stressor for a lot of people. People are probably aware of these things, they don't need to be subjected to our yelling, and that sort of constant stress is bad for us. It's not about comfort, it's about safety

Anyone here who built a small community of queer friends, like a house with individual rooms, a row of apartments, or even a cute little hamlet?

What kind of community did you make?
How did it go / How’s it been so far?
How many of you moved in?
How many left?
What complications arose?

Would love to hear about this topic. neobot_floof_happy
Boosts welcome! boost_appreciated

the absolute best though is ā€œanime girl who is a transhuman mind uploaded into a fully mechanical body and has an arsenal of creative and stylish weapons and gadgets, many of which are built into her body, that were definitely thought up by an autistic transfemme who is really into gunsā€

ā€œanime girl with a highly-detailed assault weaponā€ has got to be one of my favorite aesthetics. almost as good as ā€œcyberpunk transhuman anime girl with a high-tech assault weapon and a cloaking deviceā€

trauma mention re: traumadumping IRL vs. in movies
Show content

what I really want most after a long day of trying to cope with my own trauma is to be viscerally confronted with imaginary trauma that isn’t even real. I’m so glad that all mainstream entertainment decided to move in this direction for the past 20 years so that that is almost the only option available to me

a person: *traumadumps*

everyone: why would you do that? that’s so inconsiderate. you could really hurt us emotionally. we don’t have the energy for this emotional labor

a movie or TV show: *traumadumps for multiple hours in a way that is precision-engineered to be as viscerally upsetting as possible*

everyone: wow what a masterpiece of storytelling. so emotional. it ruined my entire day. 10/10 I’ll recommend this to all my friends

I don’t understand

@mioontje not to get too capitalist but you could let people pay a certain amount of money to suggest a pic that you could take - like a pose or some clothes to wear or something

if I had money there is no way I would not do that lol

I don't know who need to read this, but:
If you think a mobility aid can help you: take one.
No need to "But am I legitimate" "Other people have it worse" etc.
If you want to try one: try one (depending of possibilities, I know it's not that simple)
If you tried one and like it: take one. (again, depending possibilities blablabla)

Don't let anyone gatekeep you from a mobility aid

@wyatt this is so fucking cool. I’m guessing this wasn’t a common feature on laserdisc players, right? this is kind of a special feature on just the fancier ones?

Behold the Laserdisc player rotating head mechanism (I believe this was a pioneer patent but I don't know for sure)
Honestly I'd rather have two laser pickups, one per side, so that if one fails I can just flip discs and keep using the damn thing, but i'm sure that was expensive.

@salad_bar_breath I feel this so much. if I die and find out that heaven and hell exist then I’m going to spend eternity fighting to burn them both to the ground, guillotine God and his angels, and build something free and beautiful on the ruins of his palace of lies

Discord is getting absolutely fucking desperate for money. if Signal could stream desktop audio I would honestly relish the chance to watch their company burn to the ground while everyone (hopefully) moved to E2EE FOSS alternatives

as it is though, unfortunately I do still need that one feature of Discord so uhh… I’m stuck on this sinking ship :/
