personally, it's kinda hard to say? i have felt romantic attraction exactly once in my life, so i know i'm not fully aromantic, but also it's only happened once so i'm probably on the aro spectrum somewhere

but yes, there are many people who are asexual but who still feel romantic attraction to others

(and of course, not all attraction is sexual or romantic, there is also aesthetic attraction for example (literally just when you find people pretty), which i do feel, my meme was pretty reductive all things considered, but then again it's just a meme)

it’s not that they would do this, it’s that they’re already doing this

i think it’s more her grieving the fact that a big chunk of her life was a lie

its a perfect car for the apocalypse, so long as you have a functional electricity generator compatible with tesla plugs

and also that you cover it when it rains (it has no coating so it rusts in the rain)

and also that the apocalypse happens on even asphalt surfaces (it gets stuck in mud)

and also that you have access to a tesla-certified repair shop

and also that your onboard computer doesn’t break (if it breaks the whole truck can’t move)

it doesn’t feel respectful to call this a shitpost, but it’s still good to share

tho, sometimes i wonder how much of my feelings toward sex, sexuality and attraction is asexuality, and how much of it is gender dysphoria, since i am a closeted trans woman… when i discovered my asexuality, i was still unaware of my transness. but tbh, the idea of having sex as a woman isn't that enticing to me either

[-] carotte 12 points 4 days ago

it feels a bit boring to say, but… i've never had sex, and i don't want to. if sexual attraction really is feeling desire to be sexual with someone, then i've never felt it.

my journey of discovery was also pretty uneventful, as a teen i realized that people my age were pretty much all interested in sexual acts, and i thought, "hey, shouldn't i be interested in that too? shouldn't i feel sexual attraction too?" and then i remembered asexuality existed, looked it up, and went "yep that sounds like me!"

i have felt romantic attraction tho, once, and it was a very weird feeling that i can't really describe… i think i'm on the aromantic spectrum as well but i'm way less sure of that than of my asexuality

sorry if that's a bit of a boring answer, i guess my sexuality is just "nope" 😅

Show transcriptScreenshot of a tumblr post by hbmmaster:

the framing of generative ai as “theft” in popular discourse has really set us back so far like not only should we not consider copyright infringement theft we shouldn’t even consider generative ai copyright infringement

who do you think benefits from redefining “theft” to include “making something indirectly derivative of something created by someone else”? because I can assure you it’s not artists

okay I’m going to mute this post, I’ll just say,

if your gut reaction to this is that you think this is a pro-ai post, that you think “not theft” means “not bad”, I want you to think very carefully about what exactly “theft” is to you and what it is about ai that you consider “stealing”.

do you also consider other derivative works to be “stealing”? (fanfiction, youtube poops, gifsets) if not, why not? what’s the difference? because if the difference is actually just “well it’s fine when a person does it” then you really should try to find a better way to articulate the problems you have with ai than just saying it’s “stealing from artists”.

I dislike ai too, I’m probably on your side. I just want people to stop shooting themselves in the foot by making anti-ai arguments that have broader anti-art implications. I believe in you. you can come up with a better argument than just calling it “theft”.

J’aimerais vous interrompre pour un moment. Ce que vous appelez Linux est, en réalité, GNU/Linux ou, comme je me suis mis·e à l’appeler récemment, GNU plus Linux. Linux n’est pas un système d’exploitation en soi, mais plutôt un autre composant libre d’un système GNU pleinement fonctionnel rendu utile par les librairies GNU, les utilitaires du shell et les composantes systèmes vitales, formant un système d’exploitation complet tel que défini par POSIX.

Plusieurs ordinateurs utilisent chaque jour une version modifiée du système GNU, sans s’en rendre compte. A travers une tournure particulière des événements, la version de GNU qui est largement utilisée aujourd’hui est souvent appelée Linux, et plusieurs de ses utilisateur·ices ne sont pas au courant qu’il s’agit pratiquement du système GNU, développé par le projet GNU.

Linux existe vraiment, et ces gens s’en servent, mais c’est juste une partie du système qu’iels utilisent. Linux est le noyau; le programme dans le système qui alloue les ressources de la machine aux autres programmes que vous exécutez. Le noyau est essentiel au système d’exploitation, mais inutile par lui-même; il ne peut fonctionner que dans le contexte d’un système d’exploitation complet. Linux est normalement utilisé en combinaison avec le système d’exploitation GNU: le système au complet est pratiquement GNU avec Linux ajouté, ou GNU/Linux. Et toutes les soi-disant distributions Linux sont en réalité des distributions de GNU/Linux!

Screenshot of a Tumblr post by indigosfindings:

imagine if someone just like started addressing you as Dipshit, like youre just talking about your day & they say "no way Dipshit, that's crazy." and then maybe you say to them that you would prefer not to be addressed as Dipshit & their response is "well in my major metropolitan area 'Dipshit' is not considered an insult. im not saying i think youre stupid when i call you Dipshit, i call my mom dipshit all the time" so you say Thats cool but please dont call Me that. and then they just repeat that it's something they say daily, they call all of their best friends & lovers dipshits & are called dipshit in return. "my grandma calls me dipshit at the dinner table, it doesnt mean anything." so you say Yes i understand that your friends & grandma arent bothered by being called Dipshit but i am, & i would prefer if you didnt address me as that. and they say "it's literally not possible for me to stop calling you dipshit, and it's not reasonable for you to ask me to, dipshit." anyway this post is about nothing in particular

key points (but don't limit yourself to this cmon go read the newsletter):

  • chapters 3&4 will release on June 5th, at the same time as the Switch 2
  • on top of all the platforms it's already on, Deltarune will be coming to Switch 2 (obviously) and PS5
  • the game will cost 25$ (US), and with that you get all future chapters on top of 3&4.
  • there will be a special room that has a unique control scheme on Switch 2 (other versions will also have that room, but with a different control scheme; all non-Switch 2 versions will be the same tho)
