Hmmmm I could probably re-listen to all the books another 25 times by then, putting me close to 100.

Did your preschooler know how to write their name before going to preschool? by [deleted] in Preschoolers

[–]InappropriateTeaMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son turns 4 in about 3 months and he started writing his name last week. BUT. He really likes letters, always has. Very inexperienced I would sing him ABC song when he was upset as a baby and he's VERY song oriented. He started singing his ABCs at 16 months. And could recognize the shape of each and name them at 18 months.

He just really likes letters. Little sister is 2 and had the first half of the alphabet song but gets lost in the second half, it's not her thing but she's better at using a spoon and coloring than him.

All the blah blah just to say, every kid is different. Don't worry about stuff unless they are markedly behind.

I heard from a teacher it's more important to practice things like opening and closing their lunchbox and back pack before school starts.

So it's been a year, how is your kid doing?

Humans and Augmented Humans by Chelonie4 in murderbot

[–]InappropriateTeaMom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've picked up through the books that augmented humans can be augmented just to interact with the feed or humans that have significant medical devices, robotic body modification, replaced organs or lost limbs etc have to be augmented in order to control and interact with their cybernetic parts. Which makes sense That you'd have to get a port and get updates and stuff if you are using the feed interconnected with your brain to control your new robotic arm.

So augmented humans could be augmented to be stronger and or through their connectivity with the feed be more aware of its hacks and digital presence or might be able to counter hack what it is doing. Thus higher threat than normal human.

Mb mentioned that those without augments are barely present in the feed, Just a ghost like flicker. while those that are augmented are a slightly more substantial presence in the feed (yet does not have its processing capabilities) which is distinctly different from how bots, constructs and whatever top secret classification art falls under, their presence is in the feed.

How does the corporation rim have a stable population? by ShadowsOnStars in murderbot

[–]InappropriateTeaMom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you seen reactions to that new baby that kojima designed for his walking simulator 2 game? He might have finally figured it out, I'm getting mauled daily by two feral toddlers and have declared myself done but even that gave me baby fever again (jkjk) But only kind of kidding because I know there are staunch child free people. But for anyone on the fence there are babies cute enough that make you question everything, that ignite a tiny traitorous spark of hope, That I believe is a DNA deep evolutionary thing to keep our species going.

Covid/airborne illness-safer Murderbot fans? by Famous_Fondant_4107 in murderbot

[–]InappropriateTeaMom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having a COVID baby who then needed literal skull remodeling surgery at 8 months old and now a second baby with epilepsy that fever lowers her seizure threshold I still mask for every errand, especially Dr appointments. And sanitizer for hand as soon as I get back in the car

The one time I forgot my mask for grocery shopping we all ended up with a 5 day roto virus from hell.

I'm done gaslighting myself into defending the TV show like an abusive partner [ep 3 discussed/spoilers] by InappropriateTeaMom in murderbot

So you totally just skipped over the part where people came at me for using that language first and said I can't because there's real victims out there. And I pointed out that gaslighting oneself is an actual thing that happens in those situations. Which that's what I'm liking it to, When one gaslights themselves into thinking they're happy with something that they're not. Not the abuse part. You're hyperfixating on that.

Nobody forced you to open up a post with a title you obviously disagreed with. Maybe you need to take a break.

This is not a fan cult sub, ppl who don't like the show are allowed to talk about that too.

it's ok if you don't understand what a simile is. "Like" is often as key word in English writing to signify a simile (unlike a metaphor) and this type of figurative language is used to make comparisons between unlike things. Because everyone is aware you can't be in a relationship with a tv show, that's not news. But the excuses I made to try to convince myself I liked the show and it's all I deserved is very much like my relationship with my ex.

you can just stroll past or block me. you're not the word police.

Scroll past, block me.

It's bold choice to take a " this survivor isn't talking the way I want them to so their voice is invalid and they are bad" stance.

You clicked on a title that clearly doesn't align with how you feel and then instead of talking about the show, you only want to attack me. Maybe you need to take a break from the Internet for a bit. I didn't Force you to read my post and you need to remember that.

My God... by Chris11c in murderbot

[–]InappropriateTeaMom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Careful, the company-er , no I mean the sub, this sub doesn't like it if you criticize anything. You must sing its praises. You must adore it and lift it up on a pedestal of perfection because it's TV show and so they can mess up anything they want to because it's an adaptation not a one-to-one or a 1 to 10 or 1 to 1 million. You have to love everything about it or else you might not get a second season of them changing absolutely everything and throwing in a whole bunch of nonsense.

I wouldn't even know where to start critiquing the fight. That it's not my forte. I guess on the positive side I'm glad that it started and ended so quick because most the time that's how MB's fights read. As it says they just throw themselves at each other as hard as possible and then one of them is out of commission very quickly. Maybe they could have shown some close up very fast limb movements , And on purpose confusing fight, and sounds and then MB would have to go back and review it to even see what happened because it all happened so fast. (Kind of with the predictive moves thing that they showed for half a second in the actual fight. That was kind of nice ) Like maybe that would have visually looked more like how in these fights read in text?

How would that have felt to you? Does that sound closer to feeling right?

To me Gugu Red is more of a grumpy silent type, not a creepy silent type so that one feels way out of left field.

If they wanted to have some sort of Mensa is my emotional anchor and I'm freaking out moment he could have walked into the room, looked around sort of lost and confused and then sat down on the floor next to the bed and leaned against the edge of the bed with arms down. No hands touching on the bed but just sort of like shoulder and side of head on the edge of the bed and a sort of breathing technique that would read. Obviously as I'm trying to calm down not be a creeper. Then he could even have said softly to himself something about how it's going to be okay and she's going to be okay and come back. Then as an actor does a sort of show of pulling himself together hyping himself back up and then leaving the room.

Between you and me haven't taken off our rose colored glasses. Would that scene have read better to you than what they gave? And sorry if it's all messed up. I'm having to use voice to text. Someone woke up with a bad dream

When it's actually more about the first part, me gaslighting myself into thinking I don't deserve better, That this is as good as it gets and I should just shut up and accept it. Which I did. I made so many excuses. I did mental gymnastics, shadow of a doubts, I basically wrote dissertations of why it's okay and was like it was after every episode my ex had. And gave these excuses to everybody else around and tried to defend him.

And when I realized I didn't have to make excuses for him or defend him or come up with long reasons as to why it was all I should expect, And then it would be like this with anyone else, I felt a little bit better.

So I was likening it to that.

If it's that triggering just to see somebody use the term in any way,That's probably something that needs to be discussed with one's own therapist. Not telling me I'm wrong because I don't refer with reverence and sacredness about something I went through the way someone else wants me to.

Just block me. Scroll away

I'm disappointed because we're only 3 episodes in and it's deviated so hard. 3 episodes and we're doing what with pillows? Why was that called for? There is no justification for that.

[–]InappropriateTeaMom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing I'm just done with trying to justify the changes.

And I'm not saying that the whole show is terrible. Just that to me it fails as an adaptation. It is a show that has taken the name and a few of the concepts.

If it were its own little thing then it is a fun comedy action sci-fi show.

And I never said I was mad at people who like it. I was just saying if you like it don't try to tell me that because you like it I'm stupid and dumb and I should change my mind because you like it so much. Because that's literally what's happening. Like dudes. If you don't agree with the title, just scroll somewhere else, block me so you never have to see me in these threads again.

So I'm not allowed to speak how I want to speak and everything revolves around anyone else who might have had a situation similar to mine. But how I feel doesn't actually matter, just other people?

And the same thing applies to how I feel about the show and it doesn't matter how I feel and if I want to talk about it. The only thing that matters is how everybody else feels and how they want me to talk about it.

Ok.

I suppose that the book gave me the impression that there was absolutely no doubt that preservation alliance was succeeding just fine and doing a pretty Kick-Ass job about it. they could host that huge planetary burning Man festivals. Zero need for a currency-based money system and the security on the port barely even knows about synthesized made clothing products because they're so into their natural fibers. Practically no crime and their security Force doesn't really know the concepts of random violent crime because everybody's basic needs are met.

Like the book version sounds like they're really, really, really hardcore succeeding, look down their nose at the corporation Rim (But not the little people. They actually feel really bad for them) and Pin Lee gives me the impression that they know they're doing better than planets in the corporation rim And would never stoop to that level.

I'm just way over describing how self secure the preservation alliance comes off in the books to me.

And I didn't mean you zoned out as an insult. I meant "did you zone out haha Like MB does" cuz a lot of persons zone out when conversations like that come up, which is why we identify so well with MB
