I wonder how many people saw this and said, “What is that supposed to be?”
this hurts
It hurts so much…
There wouldn’t be anything to erase after you STUCK A MAGNET TO IT. It’s like when my alma mater celebrated Free Condom Day by using push-pins to hold condoms to a board and put the pins clean through the condoms. Ruined the condoms.
It’s a good thing that is a blank disk then. ;D
Even if it wasn’t, doubt that would hold enough to be an actual backup of anything by today’s standards.
Modern programs require more size to do things. Back then, 1.43mb probably would be enough to be a system restore disk.
the virus that can destroy the internet is small enough to fit on a floppy disk.
Everyone talks about how Samurai Jack is an amazingly cool and strong warrior but I never see anyone talk about his adaptabilty. This guy was flung thousands of years into the future, from feudal Japan to a civilization of robots, flying cars, and crazy monsters. No culture shock, not even a flinch, that’s astounding. Not only that but he learned how to combat those robots immediately learned about the society so quickly. Jack is amazing at learning, beyond perhaps genius level and I don’t think that gets enough credit.
The guy was already time-traveling abroad in Europe when he was a kid, he’s used to it by now - .-
Actually in the pilot he was shocked and confused as fuck.
whenever i’m sad i like to imagine what possible crime Steve Irwin’s ancestor committed to warrant him being sent to Australia like some Victorian gentleman escorting a lady to the zoo past the crocodile enclosure and going “do you see that great wyrm sunning itself there? quite a striking creature, is it not? I do believe I shall engage it in fisticuffs.”
My neighbor always leaves her French bulldog outside when it’s cold and/or rainy, I’ve asked her politely to let it inside because it was shivering and whining, it also usually barked the whole time when people weren’t walking by. About a week ago I decided to call the non emergency number because it was 40 and raining, the dog was shivering beyond belief. TL;DR she ended up with a summons for animal abuse. She came to my door when the cops left and started pounding and screaming, I just played music over her until she tired out. We have retaliation laws protecting people who report noise/abuse, but I felt like I could do something psychologically devastating to this horrible person
The next morning I decided to play a little prank and pull a Tom Haverford with my roomba. I downloaded a video of a puppy barking as an MP4 and put it on my phone, hooked it up to my Bluetooth speaker and let DJ roomba do the rest. It was on 30% volume, barely loud enough to hear through the walls. A short while later, a cop, along with my neighbor, were at my door about my dog barking, where I say “Dog? I don’t have a dog.” And pointed at my two cats at the top of the stairs and no dog in sight, even let the cop inside to show no sign of one. She then told the cop she could hear it moving from room to room, I just HAD to have a dog. That’s when I said “Her dog barks so much she probably hears it subconsciously.” This made her furious, the cop said don’t call about a dog again and we all went our separate ways. I’ve been doing this about every day when we’re both home and I can hear her screams of agony as she thinks it’s in her head, it makes me want to get a dog.
How do you argue about asexuality as a real thing with someone, when they don’t see anything wrong with the sentence “You don’t know if you want sex until afterwards.”?
When they insist you trying to be healthy and fit as a sign that you are purposely trying to attract someone else, and not just doing it for yourself?
When they say “you really have to have sex” while claiming they don’t mean you HAVE to but you should, ‘cuz that’s just what you do. And clearly it’ll “cure” you?
And through it all they are not talking down to you or being condescending, seeming quite open but having problems relating to something so “weird”. I do understand, things that are different from how you are used to view them can be difficult to understand. Especially if it’s a new concept to you.
Still… It was civilized conversation, I’ve had it before where people just accepted I was this way and knew it wasn’t their business if I wanted sex or not. I found it odd having someone insist I needed to have sex with SOMEONE and seems to think masturbation proves as an erasure of asexuality. As long you have a libido it proves asexuality is not real.
Mind you he weren’t offering. It wasn’t that. It just seemed like a concern to him for me to be “healthy” sexually.
He even asked “what happened to you?” The first time anyone came to the conclusion that I was simply traumatized from wanting sex.
I know I’m rather privileged as an asexual. Coming out I only met acceptance and curiosity or just mild disinterest. I’ve never faced anything negative about my orientation (with some awkward exceptions including my aromantisme). I know there are Aces out there who had it hard. Experiencing acephobia and erasure, facing people thinking they are broken or lying, that they need to be cured, who loses friends or even family members for wanting to be accepted for who and what they are.
I got it easy. I’ve known that from the start. And compared to many of those other cases, even this conversation last night was nothing. We still parted as friends, nothing changed. Maybe I could have told him his choice of words hurt me a little, maybe it’s good it didn’t when it’s on such a small scale.
But it’s still with me. I’ll take it with me to prepare for next time I have such a talk. I want to help people understand when they ask or are confused. I’m pretty open about my asexuality. I’ve been so more at peace with myself when I understood I wasn’t “broken”. And I’m so very lucky. Having so many people in my life just accepting it and do their part to understand.
That said… I do try not to be too much “in your face” about it to people. It’s not a badge to wave around, one label which defines everything about me. I’m a person, not “just” an asexual.
Just… some thoughts I had to get out there to get them out of my head.
