I haven't purchased a HP item in close to a decade - I use the books I already had as doorstops or to prop a laptop up for meetings nowadays.
There is NO "death of the author" with JK Rowling - she controls and continues to profit from her IP, and uses that money to fund hate groups.

I actually don’t mind that “dead dove” has become conversational shorthand for “fics with heavy themes where you REALLY need to pay attention to the warnings”. such is the nature of language. what i do mind is when people tag their actual fics with dead dove and then give no indication of what they’re actually warning about. that is useless. that helps no one. that is completely against the spirit of the meme. i will not be reading that

Thought's on Asimov's laws of robotics
Assuming everyone knows the rules 1. robot can't harm humans or through inaction allow them to come to harm 2. robot must obey orders as long as they don't conflict with rule 1 3. robot must protect itself as long as that doesn't conflict with other rules
does this mean a robot would be a narc? like if a robot witnesses a human doing drugs or performing an action that is known to harm a person, it would have to do everything within its power to stop that, including killing itself. what about instances where not even other people know if there could be harm, like a threat? It seems like robots must always assume that any verbal threat will be acted upon, for risk of causing harm through inaction. this would just mean robots are fucking shit to be around lmao
but we can take this further, because there is so much harm in the world I'm going to rephrase rule 1 to be a more lenient "no mortal harm" rule, robots just can't cause death or allow death to happen in this case, if someone dies as a result of building a robot, would the robot need to kill itself upon gaining sentience? Let's also assume no, that robots have some original sin clause
even with all of these extra loopholes, robots would still need to do anything they can to prevent mortal harm, including killing themselves, and when our economic system is structured around harm, around exploitation I think robots would become a new form of terrorist I think robots would become radically anti-industrial, targeting the infasctructure of any system built upon harming people while doing everything in their power to prevent more people from getting hurt by their attacks there is no ethical consumption, and presumably a robot following Asimov's laws would immediately recognize it and begin pushing for the most utilitarian world possible by destroying as many objects without causing harm to living things
and I guess I find it fascinating that this is kind of the conclusion, that our world is just kinda so fucked that a sentient being following Asimov's laws would instantly become a radical

You know what really fucking Annoys Me about internet censorship is stuff like swear words being heavily censored because that's entirely an American cultural hangup being forced on the rest of us. I don't know a single country where swearing is as taboo as it is in America. In fact most languages have swear words that would have the same effect on an American as giving a Victorian chimney sweep a pepsi max cherry.

“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”
Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

I do think it's worth "examining your kinks," at the very least because if you can find an underlying theme you can use it to find other, stranger kinks. Broaden your horizons
