"people say I smell like nothing now"

Even if they believe that vaccines autism...okay? I would rather my kid be autistic than dead. And, honestly, if that was true, they've been giving us all austitm for decades and society didn't collapse before.

I blame Forensic Files.

Probably didn't go in with the idea that the only way she would be interested in similar hobbies was for her to be whipped in some way and just treated her like a person. 🤷🏿‍♀️

Thanks for catching up to the rest of the class. 🙄

The problem is I lost the person I wanted to be while becoming who I had to be. That person is lost to me now. 🤷🏿‍♀️

A main character who can do no wrong. They're the best, prettiest, most important person. Rarely has flaws, or flaws that are actually "cool." Like, the lead in many YA novels.

Or Batman, or Harry potter, or Tony Stark, or Kirito... There are so many! But those aren't a problem for some reason. 🤔

Why is it gender stuff when it's women but not men? Men and their gender is apart of their movies too, you just may not see it, like how a fish doesn't see water. Take how a film is shot, how women and men are framed. You may not notice the camera assuming a het-male's perspective by "eyeing" women a certain way because "that's just house films are shot." You may not go into a horror movie with the silent prayer that the male lead doesn't get raped because that can just be thrown in there. You may not notice if every woman looks a certain way, and how no matter how old the actor gets, the female lead is still 25. Even in movies where it doesn't even matter. You make not notice when a woman only gets to speak to and about men. You may not notice that one woman is usually tossed in to represent the entire female demographic because "they're not the focus."

But all those little details add up. Women have had men's gender and their ideas and values soak into almost every part of society, even to how they value themselves. Men are not the default, and that means that they will have to go into some media knowing that they are not the main target and be okay with that.

Some people see themselves as the default, and any change is abnormal or pandering. Same thing happens in video games. Anything that brings attention to the idea that they aren't the default audience is seen as a an offense. They assume these stories are an attack, an expensive way for people to say their way of doing things is wrong and therefore they are wrong, so they get defensive. In reality, it just someone else telling a story for another audience.

To them, the argument is, "why add more poc/genders if we're all the same? Are you saying something is wrong with people like me so they have to be gotten rid of? How come it's always me that's getting removed? Why am I under attack!" They see the addition as the erasure of some, like, Schrodinger's self-insert that would have been there if they didn't have to force a" woke" choice.

Absolutely. But I work from home, so it's way easier.

You've gotta be kidding me. It's like they're actively going out of their way to be the worst ever. Jesus christ.

Same. Even just taking walks around my area can be scary (though I also don't know how to ride lol). I could go to the store, but only that one store. My actual grocery store + most things are in a strip mall with no sidewalks to be seen, not even a curb to slow down cars thay come too close.

 

I randomly got this in the mail. It's seems to be a collection of like, snippets and poems and what have you. Not mad at it, just curious.

Posting another photo of the inside.

 

I was scrolling and saw this video of people dancing, showing different moves throughout the years, including recent ones. I know people "dance," like, generally move to a beat, but, like, having moves and stuff, where do you do that? Is the idea to ease the moves into your own dance "repertoire?" As in, do you expect to see people milly rock, like unprompted?

This past weekend, my laptop decided it's had enough and has given me the blue screen of death. I've put it in recovery mode, tried to reinstall windows, the works, and it refuses. I have no idea why. I was logged on, looking something up, and it went kaput. I wasn't downloading anything, the computer was in it's sleeve prior, not too wet, cold, hot, etc. Battery is fine, the laptop it's self is maybe two years old.

My understanding is that Linux is a kind of system that you download the components to a USB or what not and then install it on your machine. Is that something I could do in this case? Or do I need to take it somewhere?

Edit: it seems I may have to check if it's a hardware problem. The error code is Bad_system_config_info, but it changed to something else at one point but I didn't write that one down. :(

They put out this shelf and I want it, but I don't want to seem strange? It would make a nice plant shelf, but it's not something I can scurry away with, so people would see me while I carried it. Is that a bad thing to do?

EDIT: Never mind. Someone beat me to it. 😭

When I adopted her she was 21 pounds and I had to use a small dog carrier. She's now at a healthy 13 (she's long).

Another photo of her from her chonk days:

 

I adopted her when I was in the south west and she came with me to the east coat. That blur in the corner is my fat finger trying to take a picture.

 

I know it's a long shot, but are there any controllers that people could recommend? Both of my controllers went. One has a severe drift and the other one has unresponsive buttons (and I had gotten that one to deal with the drift of the first).

I was wondering if anyone knew of any sturdier brands?
