Gameboy peripheral PediSedate was designed for dentists and dosed kids with nitrous oxide as they played games.

Time to enter the ＧＡＭＥＲ ＺＯＮＥ

Camera, printer, sewing machine, now a fucking anaesthetic adminstrator…was there anything the Game Boy didn’t have an accessory for?

Do you know about the fish finding sonar?

A fun thing about computer skills is that as you have more of them, the number of computer problems you have doesn’t go down.

This is because as a beginner, you have troubles because you don’t have much knowledge.

But then you learn a bunch more, and now you’ve got the skills to do a bunch of stuff, so you run into a lot of problems because you’re doing so much stuff, and only an expert could figure them out.

But then one day you are an expert. You can reprogram everything and build new hardware! You understand all the various layers of tech!

And your problems are now legendary. You are trying things no one else has ever tried. You Google them and get zero results, or at best one forum post from 1997. You discover bugs in the silicon of obscure processors. You crash your compiler. Your software gets cited in academic papers because you accidently discovered a new mathematical proof while trying to remote control a vibrator. You can’t use the wifi on your main laptop because you wrote your own uefi implementation and Intel has a bug in their firmware that they haven’t fixed yet, no matter how much you email them. You post on mastodon about your technical issue and the most common replies are names of psychiatric medications. You have written your own OS but there arent many programs for it because no one else understands how they have to write apps as a small federation of coroutine-based microservices. You ask for help and get Pagliacci’d, constantly.

But this is the natural of computer skills: as you know more, your problems don’t get easier, they just get weirder.

you know you’ve made it when you’re googling problems and ending up with 0-9 results

#you don’t actually have to be good to have these problems#you just have to be obsessed with a micro-issue that no one else cares about

I honestly think that the lack of non-sexual nudity in public spaces has done horrific damage to American society.

We deeply struggle to understand the natural diversity of bodies because we only see naked bodies in a sexual context. We are taught that seeing nudity is somehow inherently harmful, especially to children. We struggle to differentiate between sexually suggestive and sexually explicit material.

It fucks up the way people think about and talk about sex ed. It fucks up the way people think about and talk about breast feeding. It fucks up the way people think about and talk about queer folks. It feeds into fatphobia and ableism and is all rooted in this deeply harmful puritanism.

Like, I need people to understand that seeing a bare titty in public is not going to hurt a child. Seeing a man in a banana hammock isn’t inherently traumatizing. I would argue, in fact, that adults treating those things as dangerous and gross and scary is going to do way more damage to a kid’s psychology than seeing the nudity in the first place.

This will go to deaf ears, but can we please stop redacting/black boxing sentences from memes until you can’t see anything but black lines? This is a mess. Just make a new one.
