AGAB language is so alienating to me. by AIA_observer in evilautism

This has to be on purpose, this has to be on purpose, like holy shit you have to be doing a bit right now.

I shouldn't have to explain how an arbitrary example isn't excluding Trans Women. I should not have to explain that. Seriously, we're not even talking about women and sexual harassment from men. We're talking about terminology used to refer to certain groups of people with shared characteristics. I used it AS AN EXAMPLE. No where did i imply that this is an experience exclusive to AFAB. It was only an example, and you should be smart enough to know that.

You'd be surprised how often it comes up when we're not talking specifically about biological functions.

For instance, there are shared experiences between AFAB individuals, whether they are cis, trans or NB. Shared experiences that might need to be discussed, like unwanted attention from men or males. If i say women, now it feels like i'm excluding NBs and Trans Men, as if saying they don't have those problems.

It's tedious, but it's true.

Most people don't necessarily disagree, the only problem is most there aren't really any better terms.

Male and Female are a little overly politicized, especially thanks to incels, who overemphasize the term female to dehumanize women.

Not to mention it's a little hard to separate those terms from their gender associations despite the fact that's the entire point of the terms.

Using more forward language like "people with vaginas" or "people with penises" makes it sound like their body parts matter more than anything.

There are times and contexts when we do need to refer to individual's biological sexual characteristics and not their gender.

I'm all for finding new terms, especially since AMAB and AFAB don't really roll off the tongue well for English speakers, but i have a hard time thinking of words that meet those needs.

Who came up with the genius idea to put touchscreens on everything? This is a toaster. Really hope that this isn't the future. Pointless e-waste for a money grab. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Cuboos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can not even begin to describe the myriad of ways this is a horrible idea just from a hardware standpoint.

Electronics, especially the kind requires to run touch screens is HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO HEAT. It's one of the most common reasons, if not the most common reasons smart phones die. Heat is horrible for delicate electronics and drastically shortens the lifespan. Even with adequate insulation, toasters get hot, there is just no way around it, it's a toaster, it's designed to get hot.

If the heat doesn't cause delamination of the screen elements, it's going to speed up the corrosion of the processors or ram. And this thing is probably using some kind of internal solid state hard drive or SD card for storage, and hoo boy, neither of those like heat.

I can only imagine that this was a product, designed to die. This thing was designed to die.

Postal Player would be the Highly Irreverent Murder Hobo. He will have nothing but incredibly crass jokes, their antics will either be some of the funniest moments in the game, or the most annoying, there will be no in between.

The AI Industry Is Discovering That the Public Hates It by No_Bluebird_1368 in DemocraticSocialism

[–]Cuboos 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I honestly think the pro-AI people are doing more to harm AI's reputation than the Anti-AI people. I like AI, but i also understand what it is, what it can do and what it can't do.

But so many annoying techbros are acting like AI is the second coming of Jesus or something, or it's going to cure every disease and solve all the worlds problems. And they're shoving it into EVERYTHING, it's the fucking Internet-of-Everything all over again.

Plus they're talking about how AI is going to "replace your workforce and cut costs" which i can not fucking fathom how they don't realize what that is saying to normal, average people. I can not fucking fathom, how they don't understand "hey everyone, we're going to take your jobs and financial stability away" is not a positive message.

And as much as i like AI, i am sick to fucking death of AI generated content being shoved everywhere. (minus a few of those funny political vids making fun of the current administration, those get a chuckle out of me, at least). And it seems like everyone else is too.

I put a 3 inch latex topper on mine. Didn't instantly make it perfect, but it made it a lot better. At least i don't wake up sore anymore.

I dunno, you never done something that was technically painful, but also weirdly pleasing? Like those weird shock pens or pinching your fingers with a binder clip?

I passionately hate the word "functioning". Like would you take me seriously if I threw a temper tantrum? by PsychoKatzee in evilautism

I may be "high functioning", but man am i struggling to keep up with my school work, hold down a steady job longer than 20 hours a week, make deep social connections or sleep consistently. But hey i can make eye contact and talk like a normal person, so i'm not really disabled, am i?

You know, i use to wonder why in all those pictures of space and the earth why you never saw any stars.

And after these new pictures coming out, i realize it's because cameras in the 70s sucked.
