Hehe, I like to play rough with My things... with consent and appropriate aftercare, of course. I actually discovered My species identity through blood roleplay.

I think this comic is designed to play the trope for laughs and only be appealing to the gooniest of thralls. If you want to see something that I've seen cause at least one awakening, well... Castlevania has this amazing scene that really explains the appeal of playing rough. Content warnings on this video should hopefully be quite obvious.

    I think it's pretty obvious that humanity is a culture, and it's not a very good one. I'm otherkin; I don't identify as human. I wouldn't want to be a human, because humanity as a construct is used to justify so much evil. When people wanted to do the slave trade or the holocaust or colonisation, they did it by stripping humanity from these groups. Because human culture says it's acceptable to treat nonhumans this way. And that's why I want nothing to do with such a toxic construct. I'm not interested in appealing to colonial values.

    You could, but that would be intellectually dishonest, because you came and replied to Me while I was talking about the actions of the common people. I'm not doing anything to deny the role of the rich in all this, but you're coming to a conversation about the role of the poor and saying "what about this other thing".

    If Franz and Albert are talking about the hockey and I butt in to talk about tennis, there's nothing wrong with them continuing to talk about hockey. Tennis is the intruder, that's quite obvious.

    You're the one saying that one thing is good because the other is bad. I think they're both bad. I'm not using any badness as an excuse.

    The Nonhuman Unity Pride Flag combines the Elfkin seven pointed star with the Therian delta-theta. We're drawing it in the top right of the canvas. You can set your canvas to use the community template with this link (remember to turn down the opacity!):

    The fediverse canvas is a chance for all the connected sites on the fediverse to collaborate on some pixel art!

    The canvas is starting 3 days and 20 hours from the creation of this post. If you want to help us with our project, I recommend testing login using your MULTIVERSE account now. We'll be collaborating live on the Outside discord server: http://discord.gg/KfTH9KCMSP

    Here's the art from the last three years:

    Okay so parogenesis is this form of scientific mysticism where you invest mental energy and time into the thought of an external being living in your head, and then your brain adapts and starts running a second consiousness to embody this created thought-being, which we call a parogen (or tulpa).

    I've seen parogeneticists (or tulpamancers) theorise that the reason so many Christians hear the Lord answering them when they pray, is because they accidentally made a Yahweh parogen. And now this AI bro has come one step closer to reinventing AI religion, by accidentally making a ChatGPT parogen!

    Bronze Age bicameral mind is this theory that bronze age people experienced their thoughts as coming from an external source, and attributed it to the gods. At least, according to My ten second search. Which is kind of similar, although I feel it asserts unnecessary difference between modern and ancient humans, when we can see clearly here that it's been happening forever. I think parogenesis as an enduring practice throughout the millenia is a better model. Especially since we can perform scientific experiments on the process of parogenesis to learn more.

     

    My girlfriend has a lot of trouble with talking, and the rest of our polycule has a lot of trouble with hearing her. Me and My partner have autism, so bad audio actually hurts us, as our brains spend way too much energy trying to interpret noisy signals and give us headaches. So we really really don't like My girlfriend's speech problems.

    Well yesterday her headmate was fiddling with the mic, struggling to be heard better. One of the downsides of living in someone else's head is, you have to put up with their disabilities. So My girlfriend's headmate was fiddling with the mic, and tried plugging it into the computer different. And wouldn't you know it, her voice suddenly got WAY clearer, and listening to her stopped hurting!

    Me and My girlfriend have the same model mic, and this is what the plug looks like:

    As you can see, there's a hole in the stand, right in front of the socket. Here's that hole from another angle (It's a slightly different version but the hole is pretty much the same):

    image

    My girlfriend spent the past two years with her mic plugged in, not through that hole, but jammed in from the side, with the cable bent against the stand. And THAT'S why it sounded like crap and caused us daily pain.

    Check your audio cables, folks. Plug them in the right way. Learn how to run cables in a way that doesn't hurt autistic folk.

     

    I went to the music shop the other day, looking for a drum stool.

    The first place I went to was a family owned business. It was pretty cramped, but stocked to the gills with weird instruments! I asked the salesfolk about drum stools, and the guy went and got one out of storage and was really nice, showing interest in My drumming, talking about genres and techniques.

    Then I went to a bigger place down the road. They had TONS of instruments, cool metal music playing, and like 4 people sitting at different registers for the different instrument sections. And a lot of super cool drum kits sitting on the floor, just begging to be played. I asked the drum seller the same question, and he asked what price I'm looking for. I said I wanted something under 100, and he was like "Well, I'm afraid the best I can do you for under 100 is this one, sorry", and it was the same damn stool. And they were asking for 20 more bucks for it than the first one!

    So I went back to the first shop and bought the stool from them. And this morning I was on youtube watching a video by this guy I like, The Drum Thing, whose opinions on drumming I really respect. And wouldn't you know it, he's sitting on the same damn stool I bought!

    So yeah, support family businesses. They give you better service and better deals. Don't fall for the pizazz of the fancy shops

    I sung Soda Pop wrong (multiverse.soulism.net)
     

    ProZD has this new video about how he voiced Abby Saja in KPop Demon Hunters, and the joke is that he can't sing Soda Pop, because he didn't do the singing voice. He doesn't even know the right words.

    So I decided to perform his terrible version of the song on My drums! Anyway, here it is: https://jumpshare.com/s/gkAmS4hsmw1NNuhYAHRp

    No idea if Jumpshare is a good website for sharing audio files, I just searched "audio file sharing website" and it was the first result

     

    So I was thinking about manic pixie dream girls, and I'm not sure I agree with this opinion I just formed, but... it's there, and I'll defend it in the interest of a good discussion.

    In the Count of Monte Cristo, the Abbe Faria is an elderly priest who Edmund Dantes meets in prison. The Abbe is smart, well-read, principled, disciplined, a long-term thinker, kind, courteous, and all-around just a perfect guy. Over Edmund's years in prison, the Abbe becomes as a father to him, and teaches him all of his knowledge of politics, chemistry, linguistics, astronomy, history, and other assorted sciences.

    Now, if a manic pixie dreamgirl is an upbeat, quirky love interest who exists only to spur on the main character's development... The Abbe Faria is coping unreasonably well with imprisonment, is certainly an odd character by his time's standards, even having a reputation among the prison guards as insane, he forms a bond of love with Dantes, and he teaches Dantes to become a better person and then promptly dies, getting out of the way of the plot. These are all of the signature characteristics of a manic pixie dream girl, other than gender.

    So... yeah!
