Kinda wanna start an engineering youtube channel to show off my silly projects (currently working on a cool walking scorpion combat robot, and a full controller - no more mouse/keyboard - for Kerbal Space Program) but being trans on youtube/the general internet is very different from being trans in my very-accepting local environment, so maybe I won’t.

The anti-american ai lego videos have become a whole ecosystem on youtube now. It’s like a bunch of people who would normally just make whatever gets them clicks, are now making anti-american slop for the views.

Scifi quickly turns to horror when it factors in how unfathomably huge space is and how slow physics forces us to interact with it all.

"We’ve known about this stuff for years. What we didn’t expect was that the expansion would accelerate as it has. We thought we had trillions of years. Then the forecast was billions. And now—”

I disavow this cool crime.

Light of Day, Day of Darkness blew my mind when I was a teen. I didn’t know you were allowed to do that.

Getting stoned will make my autism stronger? Hell yeah

In robot combat we mostly use drone motors and batteries, because they’re really powerful for their weight. I have a big box of spare parts now and I’ve always wondered what it would take to turn them into something peaceful.

Combat robots don’t have flight controllers though, and those don’t seem cheap.

The bad light went on so they could only poop in it but had to pee in bags. But then they fixed it :sicko-wistful:

lmao their toilet broke

Lmao the toilet broke.

Yeah America is evil but space rockets are cool.

Space travel is so fucking cool can’t wait to watch this rocket pop off.

Nothing wrong with being a bimbo but this is still very funny to me.

New mayor came in promising to “end unsheltered homelessness”. Immediately makes huge cuts to 24-hour shelters in favor of sprawling overnight-only congregate shelters out in the outskirts of town. So if you wanted a shelter, you could take a bus an hour or two away and hope that it wasn’t full up, then have just enough time to get not enough sleep before they kick you out again.

Anyways, now the city is shutting some of those down too. Just huge cuts all around. I was going to get laid off in June, but it looks like that might have just been moved up to May since they’ll be closing my entire workplace down - news broke over the weekend and my clients are panicking.

One of the most progressive cities in the country, and boy do we fucking hate poor people here.

It was pretty cool the first time the cops gassed the frog because it showed that we were fighting against a bunch of monsters, and that they’d even attack someone so obviously harmless.

But then all anyone got from it was “I wanna dress up too!”

Been meaning to check this out if only to have somewhere to show off my cool expensive flashlights.

Star wars is kinda lame but glowing laser swords are just about the coolest thing there is.

My rent payment portal has a “convenience” fee for every form of payment, even e-checks.

Silken tofu makes a great base for vegan alfredo sauce. Firm tofu works too but you need to add some water. Season it up with some nooch and whatever other good seasonings you got, and mix your cooked noodles in.

I took her as a (libbed up) analogy of the Chinese revolution. She’s rallying a nationalist movement against fire nation colonialism, and even tries to free Hong Kong. Is she Sun Yat-Sen? Chiang Kai Shek? Mao Zedong? Who knows.

But also the creators are liberals, so in order to make her clearly the bad guy they have to make it so she’s also running concentration camps. Where did she learn to be such a vile racist? Who knows! - the culture she was raised in are the good guys in this conflict.
