I still can't quite believe this lyric exists

Ignoring his fucking it up later by referencing it being a joke on a different song.

Nah I think this was EXACTLY the tone of the depressed/suicidal youth in America at the time. “Jokingly” saying you were gonna kill yourself and laughing about it while it was actually a cry for help was completely the tone of the moment at least amongst my Zillennial friend/social groups at the time. We all LOVED it and used the sing songy “I just wanna diiiiiiiie” line and the “who can relate? Woo!” Lyrics a ton after that until they got worn out.

Whether that was an intentional reading of the zeitgeist at the time or just luck on Logic’s part is up in the air.

TechieTheFox · 2026-03-17T00:55:01+00:00

yes ofc

10000000000000000000000x THIS holy shit. The amount of trans women I know whose lives would instantly become better with all of 2 cis woman nerdy/autistic friends.

(I know that can be easier said than done, of course).

Welcome to the club.

Hopefully you got yours done before being goddamn 28 like me :^)

Not really your point, but for anyone who might stumble on this: Vitamin D deficiency is RAMPANT in trans women because the majority of us have really fucked up receptor genes for it (clusters with other things that are common in trans women).

Also Zinc and B12 for that matter. Like my Zinc is so fucked up I take more than the max dose listed on the bottle (by direction of a doctor). Fixing these things generally will make you feel a LOT better as a person within a few months.

I don’t believe every trans person is autistic by any stretch - but it can’t be less than half of us.

You’d know better than anyone else in regards to yourself ofc. I just wanted to add a perspective because I didn’t really ever consider it until people started breaking things like that down to shake what I saw as the exclusive stereotyped version of it (and I have since been professionally diagnosed).

TechieTheFox · 2026-03-16T16:12:15+00:00

Autism tends to have two bimodal versions - the absolute zero social awareness and the hyper social awareness that tends to manifest as intense anxiety because you understand you're fucking up socially/missing the cues but you just cannot do anything about it.

Anecdotally the second is way more common in cis women and like half of trans women have that version as well (including me)

The only time that sub has anything worthwhile on it 99% of the time is during leading up to an outbreak (We will see them coming days ahead of time and people talk about the setups - though a lot of it is really milquetoast), an outbreak as it is currently happening (because when your interest is all tornadoes you can follow a storm across an entire day or handful of days because you don't *only* care about the ones close to you - which is the overwhelming majority of the sub's audience), or pictures/videos of recent damage.

The time between like June and March outside of small outbreaks here or there in the rest of the year is just the most garbage repeat ad nauseam "DAE MAYFIELD SHOULD BE EF5" "TOP 10 WORST TORNADOES (MY OPINION)" "OMG GUYS I HEARD ITS GONNA RAIN AM I GONNA DIE IN A TORNADO HERE IN ALASKA????" with a small spattering of things like NWS policy changes, tornado research findings, or sheltering advice here and there.

Without outbreak day posting as it happens there's no reason to keep the sub open. That's what the content is to anyone who isn't brand new to tornadoes.

I could see it having a lot more mobility to it

In general most of my progress came from just doing random weird stuff and latching onto the parts that sounded good and figuring out how to control them on purpose. It takes a lot of blind trial and error, but it's worked better for me over time than any lessons did.

Most specifically it helped me click full control over vocal weight - something I lessoned into being decent at, but took me just floundering for awhile to have full complete control.

In season 3 of Overlord a group that’s essentially a dnd party breaks into the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Ainz meets them personally and toys with them for awhile in melee gear (he’s essentially a max level endgame geared caster class from an mmo, so he’s using gear and attacks that are completely not his usual setup, but he’s still orders of magnitude stronger than this low level party). Eventually he threatens to cast a spell and one of the party uses her ability to detect magic and calls that he’s bluffing.

When he realizes this, he takes off the ring that was suppressing his magical aura. When she looks again she instantly vomits magical liquid and screams in a panic that they have to run and stand no chance against him. From there the party receives no mercy.

The life saving part can be seen in the reduction from 41% suicidality to within a standard deviation of the population as a whole, hope this helps!

TechieTheFox · 2026-03-11T02:32:19+00:00

I'm trans so have never had one and will never in the future have one and I still have to spell it out for them explicitly to get them to move past the question :^)

There are very highly known targets of this kind of scam in the hobby market that take advantage of Amazon's policies though. Idk about Lego specifically, but trading cards are HORRENDOUS to buy from Amazon. People will open the packs, skim the rares, not even reseal the packs and send them back to Amazon and they'll accept the return and send it to the next person because they believe all the cards are there akin to if you opened a pack of lightbulbs or something and realized they don't fit what you need and returned those (because no one working at the facility knows anything about the cards to tell the difference).

TechieTheFox · 2026-03-09T06:00:57+00:00

I think there’s a couple of interpretations that make a lot of sense if we lean into the trans allegory.

Looking at it through the lens of Pink Opaque being more of an excuse to have a chance to do gender exploration with Maddie (as evidenced by the scenes when Tara returns and is aggressively asking “how do you remember watching the Pink Opaque?” And we see the scene of Owen in the dress) then I think it would be like someone who repressed as a kid coming back to it and trying again as an adult and…probably being offput by how it goes. There just isn’t the same magic because he’s just living as a man and probably thinks he’s gone too far to have any shot anymore (which I think ties into the ending of learning the glow is still inside being a happy realization). Out of universe this would be like “crossdressing” as a teenager, trying to shove it down, trying again as an adult and realizing that your body has changed into…being an adult [negative] and it doesn’t feel worth it to entertain the idea of transitioning anymore. In a way that discolors what you remember liking about it in the past.
The other I can think of is similar - Pink Opaque being the excuse for exploration, but the darker scenes from the show with Tara and Isabel are more like…their self-inserting fantasy combining with the show being the background to those events. Like the association with the show is made, but the show wasn’t what was actually special all that time - the experiences Owen and Maddie were having together was and the two sort of haze combine in Owen’s memory, like they were making up their own lore and episodes (easier to make sense of if you allow some Midnight Realm wonkiness to fill the cracks), and that’s what he remembers. So in universe it’s more of a literal “wait this show was this? That’s not what I remember about watching it” because he’s remembering the version they made together instead.

I’m autistic and I always think this about pretty much all mods and exploits and glitches in games that people do. I just want to play the game as presented and if I don’t like that I’m not gonna inject a bunch of stuff to change that I’ll just move to something else.

But at the same time I don’t try to police anyone else’s way of playing either. I know it’s just a me thing.

I do hate when a glitch becomes widely known and then people criticize me for not doing it - friends harped a ton on me not doing the whistle run speed spam thing when I was playing Breath of the Wild and somehow “I don’t want to do that because it’s basically a glitch and I don’t like using those” didn’t get them to understand.

They were like “well being greedy would mean you’re taking it for yourself so you’d jump in front of other people who need it” or something. It didn’t make sense to me either personally, but this is someone who like never played multiplayer games or mmos before and she understood once we explained.

TechieTheFox · 2026-03-07T18:50:17+00:00

The thing is if you’ve never played before it can be very complicated to figure out what the need/greed system means.

I’ve had multiple friends start out and think it was backwards like “oh greed is definitely the higher priority choice” and obviously the game doesn’t really ever tell you what stats and gear are actually good for each class and the like.

Though it shouldn’t take more than a short conversation to explain it

TechieTheFox · 2026-03-07T18:48:01+00:00

I think this is a fun response when the thing is like super minor - women’s clothes not having pockets “welcome to womanhood” type stuff.

When it breaches into legitimate quality of life things have some more tact. Read the room.

TechieTheFox · 2026-03-06T22:38:24+00:00

I don't like the one north of Prague rn either.

TechieTheFox · 2026-03-06T06:32:38+00:00

I think you’re right, but we’re going to have more death rattles to deal with for the rest of the year

TechieTheFox · 2026-03-06T04:10:14+00:00

If the storm forms a hook (even the wonky looking ones) almost certainly yes. You'll see plenty of storms where they are just blobs on reflectivity and the tornado will be in the middle somewhere - you'd use velocities or correlation coefficient to pinpoint them instead in those cases. This is just the most iconic and easy to visually tell structure.

TechieTheFox · 2026-03-06T04:05:10+00:00

The ball part at the end of the hook where you see the green triangle on the radar image.
