It’s Funny How Science Fiction Universes So Often Treat Humans As A Boring, Default Everyman Species

So a very crusty old man was being accompanied by his son to grocery shop. Awesome cuz this guy was absolutely CLUELESS.

He tried to get me to open the milk doors for him to get his milk. The son goes "dad. You open the door and get it yourself. They're not wait staff."

The dude is complaining about the prices. "Its not 1945 anymore dad, eggs aren't just 1$ anymore."

Later, I hear "dad move out of the way, you're blocking traffic"

At the register, they're the 2nd in line. Im almost done with the customernin front. Like they're about to pay. And he demands we open another register. "Dad. You can wait for 1 minute. We're next." And then he tried to pay with cash and the son goes "you just got mad about waiting 10 seconds, and you're gonna make the whole line wait 5 minutes for you to count those coins? Just use your card!"

After the transaction, the guy is looking over his receipt. "He was so fast he must have messed up something" the son goes "cashiers are timed these days. He has to be fast. Everything is fine."

Shoutout to this grownup kid. Educate your parents.

Lots of info for Will Wood fans.

One of the first stage names he went by was William Sunshine, and he was part of a band called A Verbal Equinox, they released one album in 2013 and they broke up.

He released two albums under the name Will Wood and The Tapeworms in 2016, Everything is a Lot and Self-ish.

in 2019 he released a cover of Prince Ali to help with an album called D*sn*y is Birth Control under the name Will Wood and The Land Pirates.

Also in 2019, the first episode of the podcast The Life In The World To Come was released.

in 2020 he released a mockumentary called The Real Will Wood.

Also in 2020, he released remastered versions of Self-ish and Everything is a Lot.

Then AGAIN in 2020, he did The Normal Album under the name Will Wood.

In 2022 he did Incase I Make It, and Camp Here & There which was for a podcast. (of which I haven't researched much.)

In 2023 he released In Case I Die, which was a collection of his live performances, and then took his indefinite break from creating music.

While he no longer does music, The Life in the World To Come still updates regularly.

Because I'm only seeing other Jews posting about this, non-Jews I need you to be aware that for the past month or two there has been a wave of bomb threats and swattings at synagogues all across the US. They usually do it when services are being livestreamed. I haven't seen a single non-Jew talking about this. High holidays are coming up in a few weeks, which is when most attacks happen against our communities. We're worried, and we need people to know what's happening to us.

full offence but it should be illegal to use flashing or strobing images in adverts like straight up if a company has paid to force strobing shit in front of people then they have paid to directly hurt and potentially kill disabled people and whatever company they paid was fine with it. go to fucking jail and rot there.

Man I hate posts about the Neurodivergent Experience that try to universalize it in opposition to the Neurotypical Experience. I just saw a post about how "neurodivergent people don't perceive early signs of hunger and neurotypical people do which is why neurodivergent people forget to eat" and a bunch of people in the comments like "whoamygod makes so much sense" but like, I am able to detect hunger at its early stages. I do forget to eat when I'm manic but that's because I'm distracted and don't notice it, not because I'm not able to perceive it if I think about it. Anyway the Neurodivergent Experience is not universal and one size fits all so stop saying stuff like "the Neurodivergent Experience is __" it can be annoying especially to people like me who have been told they're faking it their whole lives. Even something like "a lot of neurodivergent people have this" can go a long way to being inclusive.

"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."

"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."

One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.
