I can’t believe God-fearing America would celebrate a Satanic socialist holiday where instead of making children work to earn candy or scam it from each other using business tactics such as usury they are simply given candy for free like parasite welfare babies. shameful
basically as far-removed from emotions as you can make the scifi, that’s what I like. I want it conceptual and cerebral and not dramatic or emotional unless it’s doing a bad job of being those things
even within the concept of “hard scifi” there’s the kind that glosses over the science, where it’s only hard scifi for bragging rights lol (Lilith’s Brood is a great example). and then there’s the kind that is about the science, which is what I like (Dragon’s Egg and Rendezvous with Rama come to mind)
scifi is too broad of a genre lol. I got excited because I saw someone on Taimi who liked scifi and I was thinking “omg they also like nerdy {fiction that is about science} like me!” but what they actually like are action-y emotion-heavy space operas. which is perfectly valid! but not what I was expecting or hoping for
Which brings us to the age-old question:
Has nobody done this before because it's hard?
Or because it's really fucking stupid?
@foone wait I actually really like this keyboard because if your left hand is on WADS and your right hand is on the mouse, they can be closer together than they otherwise would be. but you still get to have a nav cluster
it would be even better with a keypad on the left as well
hey so question for y’all. where is the line between dubcon and noncon when it comes to mind control, hypnosis, or aphrodisiacs? like for example:
is that noncon or dubcon? I’m not sure which add to my CW. here’s another example:
same question
and here’s one more situation that I’m curious about:
Debut albums have a special energy to them, cus they're drawing from pretty much every musical idea the artist has had in their life up to that point. Then they have to make a second album, they've already used up all their best ideas and they have a couple of years to scrounge up something that matches the energy of a decade+ worth of inspiration.
hey trans fedi! can you share with me some of your favorite robotgirl content? can be art, text, video, whatever. smut is very welcome.
i have an idea for a side project, but i want to get some better ideas of what's out there first. i'm not looking for cyberpunk media in general, i specifically want robot girls.
feel free to tag or boost as well. thank you!
this joke is so good because it really feels like the point the slop joke has devolved to lol

🦨since "post your images with alt text to make them accessible to people with vision issues" isn't working, here's a new one:
post your images with alt text or some guy will repost your image with alt text and steal all your clout
dummy A: "a circle has one side!"
dummy B: "no! a circle has infinite sides!"
me, enlightened: "a circle has three sides. that's why the study of circles is called trigonometry." 
Do y'all see why I'm so fucking vocal about this shit.
I've seen behavior like this for nearly a goddamn decade online. But it's been getting louder, & more violent. Steadily.
No one deserves to be told by what SHOULD be their own community, that they do nothing worthwhile.
No one deserves to be told that they aren't actually trans.
No one deserves to be silenced, then accused of misogyny for said silence.
I haven't used shinigami eyes in eons, & promptly disabled the transphobia labeller on bluesky because dozens of trans men were listed as transphobic despite never once posting anything transphobic. Unless you count them being trans men as transphobic.— which apparently some people do jesus fucking christ.
There's a reason the suicide rates of trans boys is so fucking high. We HAVE to be actively against shit like this if we ever want things to get better. Not just not being transmisandric, but being actively pro-transmasc. Please. Too many of my friends in the past, & present, have attempted suicide or self harmed because of this insidious coded-language that's entirely violent but made to look as if it's not. Myself included.
I hate to repost anything this abhorrent but. I need it perfectly fucking clear why I take this shit so seriously. Once you learn the dogwhistles, you see them everywhere. Because they are. Transphobia is everywhere & that includes the type of misogyny & androphobia transmasculine people face.
Can we all try to be 1 million times kinder than these people? I'd love if I never hadta see the word "theyfab" again. (yes, I've even seen it on fedi. recently. not just from eris disqordia space years ago.)
this is kind of a subpost, but have a fanfic recommendation, complete with an explanation that only kind of explains why i'm recommending it
it's amazing. i'm just as confused as you are
i am simultaneously bored and unwilling to alleviate my boredom with anything less than the perfect videogame (which does not exist)
