HAPPY PICCOLO DAY
me playing any video game: *does not touch the block button at all throughout the game*
#no block button we lose like men
what the fuck is this dodge nonsense? You hit them harder and faster than they hit you and That Is How You Play Video Game
You cant take damage if the enemy is dead
Don’t talk to me about buffing or debuffing stats either. The only stat that matters is the enemy’s HP, and I am going to debuff it all the way to zero.
Happy Piccolo Day!!

Joseph: Does Polnareff think in French or in English?
Kakyoin: Bold of you to assume Polnareff thinks at all.
The real question is WHERE THE FUCK IS THE REST OF HIS HAND

This just proves that Britain and British Colonies can’t grasp the concept of food despite killing millions for spices.
GET THAT WEAK ASS SHIT OUT OF HERE.
self care is breaking into nasa and launching yourself directly into the Fucking void
May we suggest a Soothing Bath™ instead
Tumblr culture is everybody reblogging those posts about wanting asks from each other and nobody sending each other asks
Who wants a hug?
Me! I do!
I’ve been laughing at this stupid fucking video for 30 minutes
Yall sont understand this is the funniest thing ive experienced in weeks
holy fucking shit
how did i know what this was before i even clicked
Androids are my special interest so i’ve been following discussion about them and development of them for almost ten years and I’m stupid passionate about it. If anyone is wondering where we are at in our ethical discussion of robot development, this is whats going on.
Most of the discussion seems to be between these 5 fields:
Robot makers of all kinds (from animatronics all the way to industrial robotics) Psychologists Sociologists Lawyers/Lawmakers Ethicists
The general consensus has been:
All: Humanity clearly wants these robots and are getting blisteringly close to being able to build them to Chobits level, but not Blade Runner level, so while we have some free time between those phases lets talk about potential outcomes.
Psychologists: hem hem. we are concerned about what happens to the way we develop relationships. Humans imprint on things hardcore and because of this we are concerned.
Sociologists: I mean… yeah thats a concern, but its not nearly as concerning as what introducing an entire class of humanoid beings without rights to a society where real living people dont have rights
Lawyers: speaking of rights, what happens if you kill one. Like. do we call it “kill” or is it “break?” can you kill something that’s technically not alive??? what if you rape it?? Can you rape a robot? I feel lawsuits coming and its making me itchy.
Robot Makers: Everyone calm down. They’re just objects, they’re toys. Its chill.. See, we’ll make something like it and see what hap–they broke it. they fuckin destroyed it. They destroyed it in a creepy way too….We are now also concerned.
Psychologists: Maybe we should be less concerned about people falling in love with robots and more concerned about what all this might do to their understanding of the disposability of concent and personhood.
Sociologists: YEAH MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE, PSYCHOLOGIST.
Ethicist: While you were all talking I’ve been thinking about what Lawyer said about raping a robot. While technically it wouldn’t be “rape” by our laws, would the robot perceive it that way? Do robots have concepts of justice?
Robot Makers: They don’t if we don’t program it into them. See I’ll just make this prototype and–wow. it can comprehend fairness and concern. I only taught it the difference between a safe and unsafe situation under the circumstances of it rolling off a table or not. huh. uh. ok…thats. hm.
Lawyers: If it can be concerned for its well being, does that give it personhood? Becuase if its got personhood, its gotta have rights. And if it needs rights, we gotta make laws.
Ethicist: The question is not whether we think it has personhood, but more whether IT considers ITSELF to have personhood. Because historically, people have decided other groups of people dont have personhood regardless of the opinon of individuals within that group and it was bad. Like… real bad.
Sociologist: Does anyone remember what i said 20 years ago about being concerned about introducing an entire class of humanoid beings without rights to a society where real living people don’t have rights? Can we be concerned about that now?
All, chagrined: Yes.
Sociologist: Cool, lets move on. Ethicist brought up an interesting point about personhood and Lawyer brought up an interesting threat about personhood and Robot Maker is having an existential crisis about what it means to become God. So let’s condense our viewpoints and overview potential consequences:
1. we agree that society frames the use and consequences of all products/entities developed in it.
2. personhood is self-defined, and thanks to Robot Maker we now know that adding components to a robot that seem benign can have the added effect of them developing aspects of personhood.
Robot Maker, interrupting: And I think that the more complex the android, the more immediate and complex their understanding of personhood would develop–
Sociologist: Yes, we get that. This is a review. Anyway, 3. When they develop that personhood, they should be eligible for rights??
Lawyer: Get back to us on that, we’re trying to figure out whether this is going to make us a lot of money or just be a giant red-tape headache and you know how much we hate those. But also, if we give them rights they might not kill us all later, so we’re taking that into consideration.
Sociologist: Noted. 4. when they develop personhood, denying them rights is unethical????
Ethicist: Technically yes, but that’s dependant on the definition of personhood within our legal systems ethics. You see Kant believes–
Sociologist:
Psychologist:
Robot Maker: while you guys were talking I made a robot that has opinions, can understand the nuances of humor, can teach itself to walk, and also doesn’t like humans much apparently so can you tALK FASTER PLEASE
And that’s where we’re at now. That was 35-ish years of intracommunity discussion condensed.
Well done OP. Fascinating and creepy af
This is excellent.
30 day free trial of being ok
op wheres the link
also fun news: we have a radioactive cat at work right now. Her poop and pee has to be stored separately for 6 weeks to let the radiation decay. We’re not allowed to touch her— i mean, we technically CAN but we can’t be face-to-face with her and no lap time allowed. We can’t even be within 3 feet of her for more than 30 minutes.
and she’s SO FRIENDLY. she walks up with that little purruprpppruprrupp!! walk cats do. She wants to be held.
Either that or she’s hoping her radiation will kill me.
Wait how DID she get radioactive?
Thyroid treatment! She has hyperthyroidism, meaning her thyroids are making too many hormones. Radioactive iodine (I-131) was used to destroy some of her thyroid, which will hopefully reduce the hormones released into her system.
Does she have superpowers now or are they still developing?
She’s super cute. Does that count?
Absolutely!
