It's my blog and I'll cry if I want to.

so everyone can shut up now

A cafe in Japan is hiring paralyzed people to to control robot servers in order to still make an income. Ten people with conditions like ALS and other spinal cord injuries are currently employed at Dawn, according to Sankei. From home, they operate the OriHime-D, a 120-centimeter (4-foot) robot that communicates, moves around and handles objects. (Source)

a friend of mine told me about her friend i think from high school who was gay but not out, and he pretended for a while to have a girlfriend named Amanda who he would go see a lot, and they’d be all, come hang out with us and he’d be like sorry I’ve got a date with Amanda, and they were like when are we gonna meet this Amanda??? anyway he kept this up for like a year until he finally came out; and when his friends were like, “wait, what about Amanda?” he said, “IT’S A MAN, DUH.” 

i have literally never admired anyone’s commitment to a joke more

Labor Day was started as a strike by the working class of the early 1800s to bring attention to the abuse they faced under the hands of their bosses, but now it’s moreso a holiday where those in higher corporate positions get to lay back and relax with family and shop while the actual lower working class is stuck serving them in their low wage retail, factory and food service jobs? Really makes u think (and by think I mean hate capitalism)

It literally came from workers working 65+ hour a week, 7 days a week jobs in dangerous conditions with no benefits begging for a way to survive and support their families without their life being taken away? Socialists historically used it as a day to demonstrate the harm capitalism and corporations put on their lives and their families but now it’s a day for huge fucking old navy sales or whatever and shit to drag in customers on their day off which in turn makes the retail workers day twice as hard, don’t shop on Labor Day unless genuinely nessecary hit send

god im reading a text about romance fiction (especially targeted at young adults) for class and one sentence in it literally made my brain explode because ive been thinking about this kind of stuff too, how “Many people wouldn’t fall in love if they’ve never heard about it before.” and like…imagine there was no ideal/overaccentuated image of love and romance painted in postmodern mass media….how would we love? would it be purer? more authentic? what would we do differently? would we fall in love at all if we werent constantly being fed an ideal concept of love as the norm in mass media? like what is a natural process of human feelings and what is just a projection of how we want to love and want to be loved based on what we’ve seen on tv and read in books etc? in this essay i will

w … wh … where’s the rest of the essay, op? 

so I’ve been having fun playing with ConceptNet, a semantic network designed to help computers understand language.

Here’s what the robots have figured out about cats:

I’m late but happy (belated) World Outlander Day!! I’m re-watching the show and this initial meeting still makes me laugh.

honestly “i’ll do whatever you want” “then perish” is the single most powerful exchange possible in the english language and it’s from some bizarre “hewwo” obama rp

And there was that other post where someone dreamt that Obama said “violence for violence is the rule of beasts” like what is it about Obama that makes people come up with such raw fucking dialogue for him

my mother had a dream where he lived in the forest and she had a cigarette with him and he said “to become god is the loneliest achievement of them all” and put it out and walked into the mist and i’ve never fucking forgotten that

Reboot this post to be blessed with dream Obama’s wisdom

all those ‘say no to drugs’ assemblies in school where WACK i never once had the pot head kids push the Devils Lettuce on me. they’d be like ‘hey u wanna smoke some of this here Blunt of Marajoouana?’ and i’d be like ‘no thanks i dont smoke’ and they’d be like ‘ok cool’ and never bother me about it again

drinkers? NO CHILL AT ALL. even into adulthood people act like i’ve slain their child when i say i am completely sober. like every single time i’ve said no to drinking some person is like ‘what about jello shots there’s barely any in it’ or they’ll leave me a solo cup of wine ‘in case you change your mind’ and when by the end of the night i haven’t had it they’re all ‘you didn’t want any?’ LIKE? YAH I SAID I DIDNT? 

anti drug psa’s are fine but they gotta talk about drinking too bc never once did anyone i know who did drugs push me to do it too but everyone i tell i am sober tries to find a way to get me to drink like i said ‘i am sober but change my mind’ or smth 

i tell the sky i love her n this is how she says it back 𓆏
