my corner store guy is a 50 year old man who's my best friend in the world and recently he was like "you're too pretty to be single I have some nephews you should meet. very handsome!" and I was like "a niece might be more up my alley" and he just got more excited and said "ah even better! I was overselling my nephews but my nieces are very beautiful"
OP the tags!!

they should make a video game where you play as an autistic character and there is a meter that shows you how close to a total meltdown you are due to the overwhelming stimuli and another matter that shows you how much of a weirdo you look like to others and you have to try to balance between having a meltdown and completely masking. and also you’re trying to solve a murder or something
I think it should add challenges but not be game breaking if you decide to sacrifice weird meter for meltdown meter.

Ilya: this guy is cute, I should start a stationary bike race so he knows I want to get sweaty together
Ilya: that didn’t quite work. Maybe I should just give him the eye? While I tell him I hope he likes his new city?
Ilya: okay. But surely if I make him drink from my water bottle and brush his fingers when passing it over…?
Ilya: call him pretty. To his face. No way he can miss that
Ilya: desperate measures, I’ll have to tell him I orchestrated this whole ad campaign just so I could see him again
Ilya: WHAT IF I STARTED JERKING OFF IN THESE COMUNAL SHOWERS?

a really important thing to remember about shane and ilya’s sexual dynamic FOR ME is that ilya likes shane submitting to him precisely because he respects him so much
he’s literally a hollander fanboy, he calls him “perfect” numerous times, he watches in a blend of jealousy and reverence as shane beats him in every arena, he stalks him online and watches his stupid documentary, he is in complete awe of that man and so its super fucking sexy when that man drops to his knees a second after ilya tells him to or literally begs him to fuck him
and its not about putting shane in his place either, its hot because shane WANTS to do it so badly, its another form of respect in a way, respect for shane’s willingness and obedience and eagerness to please
and ive said this before but ilya one thousand percent gets off on the idea that shane is this clean cut goody two shoes golden boy and only ilya gets to know what he does behind closed doors
i dont think ilya even innately wants to dominate shane the way shane definitely wants to submit to ilya, but its sooooo hot to him that he gets to

david hollander is the true winner of the idgaf war. he doesn’t know what youtube is. he doesn’t care about shane’s sponsorships. he understands why shane doesn’t wanna go to wimbledon and is just happy to go with his wife. he sees his son making out with his supposed arch enemy and turns 180 degrees, gets in his car, and doesn’t tell a soul. he pulls out the vodka when his newly out gay son is having a freak out at the dinner table. if shane had even 1% of his idgaf powers he would be unstoppable. unfortunately that boy inherited his mom’s gaf-ability, which is constantly set to 150%.

The difference is that jealous Ilya looks homicidal while jealous Shane looks suicidal

I do think it's funny that Murderbot complains about all the stuff that it doesn't know because its company didn't teach it anything useful but then when Three spends all its time interacting with nonfiction media and learning stuff mb is like "I don’t get you. Why would you watch nonfiction when there is sanctuary moon"

Yeah look the weird smut comments are totally out of pocket but I really can't get over "im more into dr.seus or self help books lol"
#do you think he's actually read dr. seuss or did he just hear "doctor" before an author's name and decide it sounded smart? (Via @shellys-apprentice)

i think being a doctor or nurse is a lot like being a teacher in that, if youre not very careful, it cultivates in you this really terrible attitude towards the people you interact with all day, an attitude where the idea of your control over them is just totally unquestioned. people talk about how living in terrible conditions can be bad for you, can make you worse as a person, and i think thats true, but these institutional cases are more interesting to me, right, like we need doctors and teachers. but the current system has this weird cost on the practitioner's...idk "soul", for lack of a better word
AJ Cronin's writing is bad in a way that seems like doctor vision, though maybe it's just normal bad writing. The world of his novels is populated with people that just objectively need patronizing guidance from an authority figure. They are unreasonable in ways that can be immediately read from the surface (and therefore, must be astonishingly unselfaware), and therefore both need herding and are easy to correctly herd after a few minutes of interaction. It's cool to read a novel about a '30s doctor but i kind of feel bad for Cronin's patients if thsi is what their doctor thinks they're like...

years ago I saw someone talking half-jokingly about the psychological occupational hazard of programming jobs (in that they give you programmer brain) and I still like it as a concept and think it applies here. like how construction work destroys your body over time this kind of thing destroys part of your mind, maybe
@official-kircheis said: moral injury. sorta.
i was looking for that word! i kept thinking "moral hazard" which is a different thing. it is a sort of moral injury, but insidious, because you dont even realize its happened!
Coetzee — Youth:
His obsession with chess is waning, he is beginning to read again. Though the Bracknell library in itself is tiny and inadequate, the librarians are ready to order him any book he wants from the county network. He is reading in the history of logic, pursuing an intuition that logic is a human invention, not part of the fabric of being, and therefore (there are many intermediate steps, but he can fill them in later) that computers are simply toys invented by boys (led by Charles Babbage) for the amusement of other boys. There are many alternative logics, he is convinced (but how many?), each just as good as the logic of either-or. The threat of the toy by which he earns his living, the threat that makes it more than just a toy, is that it will burn either-or paths in the brains of its users and thus lock them irreversibly into its binary logic.
most precise social science term i am familiar with to describe this in generality is "professional deformation" a direct loan from the french, which I am sure you can guess. an element lost in the English is that the usual French word for "training" is "formation" (i only ever see catholics use the word in this sense in English)
the common element between doctor, teacher, cop, and software developer is that their professional lives revolve around the diagnosis and classification of humanity for the purposes of immensely powerful bureaucratic systems, and the demands of that system tend to loom larger in the imagination than the needs of the human being classified.
Don't forget "Lawyer Brain"
lawyer brain, finance brain, political pundit brain, all operate within incredibly dense systems to which they (and often we in turn) are enslaved.
