hi, i'm yana💫she/her♥️25🌻scorpio ♏ bi 🌌
omg imagine being born and you are on a spaceship and everyone aboard is sooo so mad at you just because you burst out of some guy's chest to be born. like um sorry i've not been alive before i didn't even know that's not allowed please be nice to me um the spaceship floor is cold is no one going to knit me some little booties i am calling child protective services
this is a legitimate problem in robotics.
like, if you're a bomb disposal guy and your team has a cool bomb-disposal robot which you've given a cutesy name to, you may hesitate to put that robot in harm's way, which is NOT OPTIMAL in the bomb-disposing field.
it also doesn't help if you hold funerals for the robots after they get exploded (this happens pretty regularly).
anyway nobody has worked out how to stop humans from pack-bonding with literally inanimate objects and they probably never will. (like even knowing it's a problem, I *still* think those EOD robots deserve funerals).
In 2007, the US military rejected a multi-limbed anti-mine robot because it's demise was too inhumane.
ALToh perfect, this is EXACTLY what I was talking about
Scientists in films: this alien/AI is not human and therefore undeserving of any kindness or sympathy
Scientists irl: This is my friend Robob he's five feet long, has ten legs and was built to explode mines and if anybody hurts him I will tear apart time and space to get revenge
I think that there is something really hopeful about this - no matter what society keeps trying to imprint on us about our roles and how everyone around us is competition first and foremost, most people default to seeing life and companionship.
Of course nobody wants to see the robot get hurt. Why would they WANT to let it get hurt.
This, of course, must be balanced with the knowledge that those robot "dogs" are ultimately cops in deeply unflattering fursuits.
this is so fucking funny to me what the hell. i almost wish i had learned this the hard way i would have been as gobsmacked as i would’ve been furious. good for you, arcade.

This post is a decade old this year.
This is actually the best intro to a porno that has ever existed
There is no way this is a porno
This is the best porno there has ever been.
The way he says “HEY WHAT THE FUCK” shaped me as a person
It’s been over a decade, and I still think “I’m a lemon stealing whore” to myself every time I take fruit off a lemon tree.
Which isn’t often, but it’s often enough.
