stop making fun of bad people for being fat or having small dicks or being socially awkward or whatever else you seem to think is a fair target. none of that shit has anything to do with why theyre bad. i don’t care if a nazi has a stutter or a terf has thinning hair or whatever. at best youre missing the point, at worst your comments are gonna hurt vulnerable people more than they will ever affect the shitty person you’re mocking. why are you so attached to these bullshit standards anyway?

OP is addressed to the people doing it, but im reblogging for the bystanders: reminder that these people aren’t on your side just because they say bad things about bad people, and disagreeing with them doesn’t mean you’re siding with bad people

Anonymous asked:

why is specifically people anthropomorphising the mars rover bothering you though. do you get this mad when people think roombas are cute

i feel the same way about roombas that farmers feel about livestock: extremely unsentimental. it’s very hard to see something as this magical sentient thing that seems alive when you’re the one who put all of its guts together and programmed an exhaustive list of everything it’s ever allowed to do. im mostly indifferent to people calling roombas cute because sure, whatever, they’re right there in your house and almost act like a really stupid pet, i see the appeal.

people anthropomorphizing Opportunity bothers me specifically because of how quickly the sentiment gained traction and how a lot of the articles use language that suggests it’s way smarter than it was. for example, the “my battery is low and it’s getting dark” quote is being reported on everywhere as if they allocated hard drive space and mountains of RAM on Opportunity for a neural net that does nothing but spit out poetic blurbs to send back home AND Opportunity was able to see its “death” coming and have any feelings about it whatsoever. it doesn’t have feelings. it doesn’t need them. it’s a fucking data collection device. it constantly sends back data, including info on its battery status and ambient lighting, and the last such transmission it sent indicated that its battery was low and that it was getting dark. it was not remarking on the futility of life or accepting its death. it was remarking on objective facts exactly the way it was programmed to. for what it’s worth, the “my battery is low and it’s getting dark” quote was literally invented wholesale by this blue-check bro on Twitter, who’s now so proud of it he has it in his bio:

the reason you should care about all of this (if you’re not a crotchety old robotics major like myself) is because, in the future, there will most definitely be robots built to do objectively evil things, like killing people and acting as tools of police brutality. these robots’ manufacturers will use EXACTLY the same techniques that were used to get Opportunity from a trivia question answer to the subject of countless pieces of fanart literally overnight to get you to accept them as anything other than tools, and if you don’t know what to expect, it’s easy to fall for it.

To also ease down onto the side of the fence where the grass is unfun, I’ve been saddened as well by people not experiencing the correct emotions about a thing. What Opportunity WAS was enough, what Opportunity WAS was worthy of being mourned. Like OP, I’m put off by the feel of that specific tagline and its proliferation. And, I haven’t seen anywhere yet what the actual last transmission actually was! Don’t give me this “my battery is low and it’s getting dark”—will no one spoonfeed me even a zoomed-out image of an actual raw data readout as received or interpreted or whatever? Is it secret or something? What was the goddamn actual last transmission, because to at least sidle briefly closer to appreciating what Opportunity actually WAS, I’d at least like to center my attention on THAT.

use the right knives when you cook please

i’m not kidding and i’m not being mean i’m watching these videos of people trying to cut like, carrots, and they’re using butcher knives, and i just… I cook a lot and I don’t own a butcher knife, I’ve never had one, I’ve never needed one. I don’t cleave through… bone like. please

like listen, this set is $18.99 with the coupon it has available right now. unless you do a lot of cooking in which case you’re not the target audience of this post you don’t need more knives than this like… please

from left to right: 

  • paring knife: it’s good for small cuts. deseeding a jalapeno, cutting up strawberries.
  • utility knife: allegedly these make cutting tomatoes easier. i don’t actually find cutting tomatoes difficult, so i don’t know. i use it mostly for trimming meat.
  • santoku knife: this is essentially a chef’s knife with a straight blade. it’s good for veggies. 
  • chef’s knife: i use a chef’s knife for almost everything. it can chop a head of romaine and it can cut a chicken breast in half. whatever. just don’t use it for tiny shit. 
  • slicing knife: good for slicing cooked meats
  • bread knife: bread

it’s also gay.

and here’s a cutting board with a knife sharpener. keeping your knives sharp is a good idea because cuts from dull knives are harder to treat, are more likely to get infected, and are more painful over time. cuts happen but you can reduce your risks

Irma destroyed the islands of st martin and st barthélémy, people have no housing, no power, barely any food or water, there’s looting, everyone’s feeling unsafe and the police is nowhere to be found, and the french government isn’t doing a thing, they haven’t sent for help, or money, or anything. once again, france and macron are proving that they’re absolute fucking trash who couldn’t care less about the lives of west indians

first off, price gouging (not surprising considering air france has been making money on the back of the islands for years)

AND, i’m convinced that the french government is basically LYING to us about everything, they’re minimizing the death toll (which they claim to be 8 even though locals have reported that there’s more cadavers than that in the hospital and floating in the streets), they’re lying about how much they’re helping, they’re saying they sent troops but locals are describing the situation as a civil war, etc.

do u ever really think about the Holy Grail filming though

  • the primary camera which had been specially designed broke on their very first day of filming so everything was delayed as hell while they sourced a new one
  • they couldn’t get Scotland to let them use its National Trust castles so they ended up using the same one for every single fucking castle and/or used paper cutouts
  • the only reason they used the music they did was because after a whole fucking soundtrack had been written they realised their budget didn’t actually expand to an orchestra, so they used stock music and the only actual original Python song in the whole deal is Knights Of The Round Table
  • Graham had delirium tremens during his very first take, suddenly realised and admitted that he was an alcoholic, and was consequently hammered out of his brain for the remainder of filming so he wouldn’t go into the DTs again
  • as a result of this he constantly picked fights with the other Pythons, extras and random hotel staff
  • and constantly forgot half his lines
  • and ran ass naked up and down hotel corridors yelling “Betty Marsden” until Michael asked him to stop so he could sleep (and so Michael then woke up to a note pushed under his door reading “with love, Betty Marsden”)
  • but miraculously still no one realised Gray’s drinking was making him so ill and so Michael’s diaries are full of random excuses for why he was shaking his ass off every morning (“we were up v high today I think Gray was scared” “I didn’t think it was that cold but Graham was shivering” “gosh tensions are running so high Gray was so mad with us he was literally shaking”)
  • the Terrys tried to codirect and fell out over literally everything
  • and consequently constantly reshot each other’s takes behind the other’s back
  • John kept getting upset because he doesn’t like being dirty and/or cold and they were in fucking Scotland and “there wasn’t enough hot water for a shower”
  • John and Eric consequently switched hotels from the rest of the cast and crew so John could get his fucking shower
  • they were all wearing knitted “armour” and I reiterate this was fucking freezing wet Scotland so they all froze half to death and had to keeping shooting anyway
  • and John got so pissed at Terry Gilliam’s directing style (“treating us like pieces of paper”) that he eventually essentially told him to fuck off, so filming was delayed even further so Terry G could go and be offended and cry and sulk by a wall

the highest grossing British comedy film of all time, everyone.

This is the most British description of film making I’ve ever heard, and while amused and new to most of these facts, absolutely none of them surprise me in the least.
