#and where that data is going

[clamsjams]

hey maybe don’t talk to the qsmp datamine bot! i know it’s literally a thing that the federation is weird and invasive and definitely stealing the islanders data but bringing that out of the roleplay story world is…weird to say the least. especially in this era where internet privacy is basically nonexistent. it just sets a weird precedent

#to be clear i’m not saying the qsmp staff is actively trying to steal ur data #but like idk what exactly the cucurucho ai is using #and that’s the point #there’s a lack of transparency about what software it’s using #and where that data is going #most likely it’s something like chat gpt or a character ai bot or whatever #but those suck for other reasons and i just don’t know if it actually is one of those #weird thing to make ur audience comfortable with #qsmp #qsmp cucurucho #privacy #posts from the ocean

Emotional scene from Muppets Star Trek.

#star trek #muppets #data tng #picard #tng #kermit #fan art #next gen #okay so like… #this is obviously mostly intended as a joke but also #human is arbitrary #especially in star trek where every other planet seems to have its own sapient nonhuman species #human is fucking arbitrary #data holds humanhood as the ideal because he was built by humans #but also because the qualities that are most often used to define him as 'lesser' are qualities that humans especially seem to prize #nobody's tries to claim that vulcans aren't real people because they don't feel emotion #or that ferengi don't show enough empathy to qualify #we don't get any betazoids going around saying that true personhood is defined by how good you are at mindreading #in a world where the enterprise was crewed by muppets #and data genuinely was the closest thing to a human onboard #Measure Of A Man would have been about Picard trying to prove that you can't have someone dismantled #just because they can't sing or travel by map

#alternate angle under the cut once again so you can tell that i haven't just gone back to gen 1 for no reason #gigantamax snorlax #i've been working on the gen 9 models a bit to see what kinds of things i'm gonna need to do to get them working‚ but it seems like #they're gonna be quite a tall task. apparently gamefreak put in some security measure to stop folks from ripping the models #where the eyes are all fucked up and get created in-engine based on data with the model as opposed to just being easy normal textures #go figure. might take some extra work on my part but i guess i'll get it working eventually. i hope

Childhood abuse is real.

Resulting PTSD and C-PTSD is real.

A higher proportion of ex-foster care kids have PTSD than do war veterans but they are vastly underdiagnosed

Ex-foster kids are far more likely to end up homeless, addicted to drugs, dying young, etc. I could go on, but won't.

Childhood neglect and abuse cannot be cured with a hug

Being triggered is not a 'personal choice'

#need to get this off my chest #because I am sick and tired of trying my hardest and being treated like my mental illness isn't a real life-changing thing #then being treated awfully when I either stand up for myself OR go along with it then eventually have a mental break #and I hate that I see this in fandom spaces too #as a society we have a massive blind spot for the lifelong consequences of childhood abuse #the facts I provide focus on foster care because frankly it's the only group where there is something approximating useful data #but this isn't just something that effects those in the care system

antisemitic trekkies have a staggering amount of gall

#im talking about the fact that spock and data are the two most popular characters in all of star trek #every ''fave trek character'' poll we all know where its going #antisemetic trekkies don't DESERVE leonard and brent's jewish splendour upon their screens #also leonard added a lot of jewish-ness into spock and vulcan culture in general it's INTRINISTIC it's a TAPESTRY #and im barely scraping the surface too #theres also bajorans being an obvious stand in for jewish people #theres the three most prominent ferengi characters being played by jewish actors and the Certain Flavour this adds #there are the acting choices made for dr. soong. and the acting/last name choices for dr. zimmerman #theres the overarching theme of overcoming past suffering and living on endless hope #and like. lots of other details #on a metatextual level removing judaism from star trek is like removing flour from a cake after its cooked #you can't do it bitch #i'm not jewish i just have a great deal of respect for the faith and the culture #(plus i've always been a little media sponge so many a jewish actor or writer and so on)

Location, Location, Location!

I don't think anyone will be surprised to learn that this fandom skews very American... BUT there are Many international Steddie fans!

I'm sure that this survey only being in English skewed these results pretty heavily, so if I was going to repeat this experiment, I'd definitely try to work with other international fans to translate/spread the survey further.

#it took me forever to regulate this data sorry for the wait #hello to the 1 person who described their country with only emojis- I almost excluded u for that ngl #no prize for guessing where they're from haha #also to every american who listed their state - thank u but I will not be going into that much detail here! #steddie census #fandom data

Lately I’ve been itching to start working on a new data greeting story but tbh, I have no idea what to make it of… also, I have a bad habit of starting something and not finishing it 😅

#I miss when I was easily able to come up with ideas out of thin air #now every time I try to think of a new idea I’m just not satisfied with it #or it ends up turning into something a bit too complex for how limited data greeting can still be even with mods and stuff #or the story overall is too complex #hence why there’s still a few data greeting stories that I haven’t touched in ages ‘cause idk where I’m going with it 😅 #i kinda miss making new stuff tho #ramblings and scramblings

#shelgon #aahhh the in-betweener… no idea how this thing turns into salamence. i can ALMOST kinda see it coming from bagon just bc they have the same #sorta texture going on with the white armor parts where bagon has it on their head but i don't think salamence has any of it #ahh well i guess it's got it on its like. stomach. on the underside. i wonder why. this is probably based off some species of bug #that i'm unaware of. i should check bulbapedia again before folks can correct me in the comments #okay nevermind. dragon?? tortoise?? pupa?? sure. i dunno. it's pupating rn bc it's in a bunch of armor. and then it comes out and gets wings #but they don't look like bugs. maybe there are other animals that pupate who fucking knows. but i currently have no power in my apartment #i'm typing this on my phone hotspot and i wanna conserve data and battery so. have this i'm gonna queue up salamence now

By pure coincidence, I just so happened to check in on my copy of Y on X and Y's tenth anniversary 😭

Happy 10 years, X and Y 🎉🎉🎉

#I didn't even know it was the 10th anniversary #I knew it was October but not the exact date #I just did a system transfer to a 3DS XL after my original 3DS's battery has been screwed up since like 2017 #Should have done that years ago lol #But yeah I just booted up Y to test that games are working fine #I'm always paranoid that I'll lose my save data somehow 😆 #The one day I play Y and it's the 10th anniversary #I hadn't played it since 2018 #I did loads of shiny hunting in this game #This was the first gen where I was on the internet to see the hype leading up to it #Good memories 😌 #Now I'm gonna resume my Crystal shiny Celebi hunt that I gave up years ago before Pokémon Bank goes down at some point next year probably 😎 #letsa go #pokémon x and y #pokemon x and y #pokemon xy

sneepy cozy....

#cats #(medical stuff mention for tags) #poasting confortable image of boye for peace and serenity and such forthe #I have little weird episodes sometimes where I get shaky (but like violently like 'would spill a drink if you were holding it beacuse #your hands are moving so much' type shaky) and weird and sick feeling but usually it passes in an hour or less. but last night I just #literally couldnt sleep I was shaking so much and my heartrate was up a ton and wouldn't go down even after like 6 hours plus super nausea #so I went to the hospital and now shall wear a heart monitor for a week. which hopefully it's just some weird drastic low blood sugar #event or something and there's nothing actually going on. ekg + ct scan for blod clots + virus panel + almost all of the blood work seems #normal so... aa....... #Though me being so privacy focused hrggh... I basically have a constantly bluetooth connected device around me #since the monitor comes with a cell phone that is constantly transmitting data to the place. which they said they'll call you #if they see anything weird which is also scary. random phone calls... but definitely better than letting an issue go unadressed lol #the phone is also not meant to be more than 10 feet away from the monitor at any time so I put on this old tactical fishing #vest thing thats like navy green with 100 pockets and im just using one of the giant pocketson the side as a phone holder #my enormous silly vest just to keep one little phone #ANYWAY... because I got up early the morning before and didn't sleep at all and spent nearly all day in waiting rooms and such #I have been awake for like 32 hours striaght. which I'm sure also does not help with an elevated heartrate lol #feeling shrimp emotions or whatever people talk about unlocking at a certain level of stress and sleep deprivation #and also no food or water. after a while they brought me like 3 saltines and some ice water but I basically also haven't eaten since 3am #last night and it's 2pm now.. #thus............ bapy............. baby boye....... he will help ease all ailments with his baby powers... #And no I dont drink energy drinks or anything with caffiene really I'm afraid of all substances on the planet essentially #My body just likes to become shaky and weird randomly even when I'm not conciously anxious about anything/have had no caffiene/etc #and I guess I'm always more nervous about getting anything heart related checked out because of my arm/shoulder/chest area injury stuff #... i literally have constant chest pain all the time. it moves around but i nearly always have some sort of pain or pressure in my chest #so when people are like 'oh well a little weird heartrate is fine but watch out if you have pain!' it's like... i always do lol.. how am I #supposed to tell the Bad Pain apart from the Always Pain when the descriptions of Bad Pain are very very similar #AAAANYway.... hrghh... i wanted to be very productive and finally post drafts and wrok on things today. but alas.. #I can at least post small image of soft boye.. though he recently got into stuff in the bathroom whilst left #alone and knocked things into the toilet.. So perhaps not an innocent and NICE boy.. but still.. a soft one .. beautfile....

It's so vile of JKR and the people she's boosting to paint Magnus Hirschfeld as some sort of race science enthusiast

The gay jew who was almost beat to death by Nazi thugs in 1920 for being loud about decriminalising homosexuality, women's sufferage, abortion rights, socialism, the horrors of war, suicide prevention for queer people, etc

Who only survived the burning of his pioneering Sexuality Institute because he was abroad and who died in France because he could not return to a homeland that did not acknowledge him as a German

You want to say he's the ~real Nazi~ for holding beliefs that were mainstream science at the time he held them?

Yes, Hirschfeld was a eugenicist, insofar as most doctors were prior to the Holocaust

Yes, he argued that gay people having kids would lead to sickly kids -- as an argument for why society should stop forcing gay people into heterosexual marriages

Hirschfeld was by no means perfect, but smearing the legacy of someone who was specifically, by name, targeted by the Nazis for being a jew, for being gay and yes, for pioneering gender affirming care, as if he was fucking Mengele

That is just fucking evil

(but the people who criticise her are antisemitic homophobes, right?)

#it's also worth noting that hirschfeld was not above bending the truth if he thought that might help his cause (gay rights) #so just because he wrote that thing about gay people having sickly kids in a text targeted at the general public #doesn't mean he genuinely believed that as a medical matter #even if he did if he existed today who would take one look at the data we have access too now and go #'welp guess i was wrong'' #because he does not fucking care about that part lol #it's useful to him as an argument for why society should accept gay people #in a world where same sex couples can have kids together the point is utterly useless to him
