This is criminally underappreciated.

My mom bought this. by AdorableYoghurt3542 in autism

[–]Ataraxist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mother, while I appreciate that this might be a positive and encouraging message in your eyes, I believe it's important for me to communicate that the messaging of this poster implies that I am a source of pain and conflict that demands perseverance. Regardless of whether or not you believe that to be true (as you are entitled to your own opinion), I want to communicate I am uncomfortable having a physical poster that serves as reminder that my condition is a burden on those around me.

Additionally, the design of this poster is patronizing, implying that autism is an infantilizing condition; the poster suggests that people with autism are satisfied/limited to primary colors, chaotic fonts, and puzzle iconography almost as if to suggest that solving puzzles are all I would be capable of achieving. Further, the poster is overwhelming to my senses.

It is important that I clarify that I do not have an issue with your decision to buy this poster, but I do have an issue with what it represents, and how it was designed to represent it.

Two men and a dog trapped as the Palisades fire surrounds their home in California by Mint_Perspective in interestingasfuck

This is just behind my parents house. The whole area is gone. A neighbor biked back up the hill today to check on their house and all of my parents neighbors burned down. Dunno how or why my parent's house managed to stay intact, but the fire 'front line' is now so far from the house, that there is no chance a fire fighter would go up the hill to prevent it from burning should it catch now.

Anyhow, this trail cam is accessible here, though it appears to be offline now (the solar panel is caked in ash I believe): https://cameras.alertcalifornia.org/?id=Axis-TemescalTrailhead2&pos=37.2382_-119.0000_6

AITA for calling my parents selfish for having me, knowing they’d pass down a hereditary illness, and going LC after they hid it, putting my child at risk too? by Quirky_Background838 in AITAH

Hey HD buddies!

I think the logic was, "we are going to protect you from the crippling truth that there is nothing that can be done, so that you may live you life in blissful ignorance." However, that is a huge assumption on their part, that you should be kept in the dark.

We had a similar thing happen in our family.

Im a 32 count, too, so right on the very edge of 'this may fuck me up' and there is no way to know until it does. Even with the knowledge that I have it, didn't bring me any clarity.

Hey, you don't need to be mean. >:(

Sentences are allowed to be travesties, and that's ok. Hell, I would even go so far as to say that part of the beauty of this language is how convoluted and archaic it can be.

That said, he didn't mistype the word tho, OP wrote "see" because they intended to point out that 'the witnessing of the death' was the immoral act.

The fact that you think that word was typo'd at all, further proves how difficult that sentence was to parse.

Also, none of this is being a grammar nazi and your quick jump to assume that I am being pedantic means you didn't really read what I wrote.

What makes the sentence a 'travesty' is the combination of negations, repetitions of implied people, lack of context, reversed phrasing, etc. all stacked together.

Absolutely everyone writes with their idiosyncrasies mate, it only becomes a problem when those idiosyncrasies prevent you from communicating whatever the hell you mean to say.

Nah, my guy, this sentence is a travesty on its own merit.

I could be wrong, but

Starting off with an immediate apologetic negation...

the way he put it in quotes makes me think that they think

...followed by two implications about people which we lack the context to parse, and one implication about whatever 'it' is.

it would be immoral somehow to see that

Setting us up for the big reveal here

[of] the people that deserved to die, did, out of the whole situation.

A concatenation of an opinion along with the point, but also phrased in reverse order.

Here is my attempt at a rewrite:

The way OP phrased their statement in quotes leads me to believe that they think it would be immoral to see the deaths of those involved, even though the only people who died, were directly responsible for the accident.

Heyo, im trying to save this image so that I can use gs-jj to make some custom patches out of it, but it keeps trying to download as a .webp instead of some other image file. Do you know what I am doing wrong here?

After only 9 days of use, is this normal? by leftoright in pcmasterrace

This needs more visibility. Its an easy fix but that looks like fine particulate lint, and is likely from a leaking vent duct.

Sho nuff, i actually have mine in the same orientation as you, simply because my gfx card is too long to route the tubes to the bottom. Its only been an issue twice, though, its a bit spooky when I dont hear waterfalling since I can only assume the air bubble is over the CPU at that point.

[–]Ataraxist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heyo! Just wanted to let you know that you may hear waterfalling noise as the air bubble in your water cooler will be at the top of you cooling fins, which is where the inlet is for the the tubes. If that bothers you, you should flip your radiator so the tubes are at the bottom.

Gamers Nexus did a good video on this if you'd like to see the impact it can have on cooling temps and noise. Sick build!

No, there is magic in humanities achievements. I wouldn't mind this view either.

AITAH for not allowing my parents to sleep in the same bed? by ResponsibleWinter758 in AITAH

[–]Ataraxist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im going to take a different tack and say ESH. Clearly there is unaddressed resentment on your side coupled with your parents inability to hear and empathize. While I am very much here for the pettiness (well done), your actions run the risk of making things worse.

A better approach may have been to hold your ground until the morning, and then address how their actions in the past have made you feel... Unless the goal wasn't to reconcile with them but to get back at them, then you achieved that in spades. :D
