Introverts spend more time thinking about conversing than actually conversing.

is anyone else just going through life like “yeah i just gotta get past this last difficult week and then it’s smooth sailing from there!” but like… every week

So apparently I just picked up an $8,000 organ off of the curb

The few seconds before I realized you meant the instrument were terrifying

some highlights from my students’ romeo and juliet modern interpretation projects:

– someone made a username for friar laurence with 420 at the end
– the same kid who put 69 in romeo’s username like i wouldn’t know what either of those things mean
– the girl who added ‘clean’ at the end of all the songs on her juliet playlist like lmao girl i know spotify doesn’t have the clean version
– the kid who said romeo and juliet killed each other
– the weird dichotomy of kids who put love story on their playlist vs the kids who choose bad blood
– the kid who wrote ‘get a room’ as tybalt’s comment on romeo’s couple pic
– the kid who said ‘romeo is probably one of those douches who follows a ton of people so they follow him back and then he unfollows all of them’
– the one who legitimately used the word ‘alrighty’ do kids say this in their text messages???? i thought i was the one talking like an elderly person but okay
– the one who made romeo’s username ‘montagoose’
– the only kid who acknowledged that posting about your secret relationship on instagram was a bad idea
– the girl who wrote that romeo would unironically say ‘#blessed’. she’s right.
– the one single solitary girl who wrote mercutio as gay as shakespeare did (she’s also the only one who used mercutio at all which is a tragedy but whatever)
– the one who wrote romeo’s insta bio as ‘thus with a kiss i die… LOL RIP ME 😂💀’
– the one who made benvolio’s username benvoliYO

anyone else upset that they’re trying to give robots ugly, uncanny valley human faces instead of daft punk heads or tv heads

When trying to make an expressive robot head, this:

or this:

Looks good.

This:

is also perfectly acceptable.

However this:

is the stuff of nightmares.

You’re never going to make it look human, stop trying. Make it look obviously inhuman in a way that looks good instead of diving further and further into the crevasse of Things That Should Not Be.

same thing with prosthetics TBH, this shit looks simply bad and pitiful 

This however looks cool and enhanced, I think way fewer people would look at this with pity

I once spoke to a girl with a prosthetic who was pretty excited about the new possibilities, she said people always see her as a broken human, as someone who is not complete, while she sees herself as a fully functional cyborg, and I found it quiet powerful. 

Yeah, I recall the tale of a pair of servicemen, a man and woman who lost opposite arms. They gave them these very functional prototype prosthetics that use peroxide steam to work, but the artificial skin was hideous. They both independently stopped putting the skin on the arm and were happy to just glue pads to the fingers to grip with and walk around with a Terminator looking skeletal metal arm.

Gosh damn, that leg is absolutely gorgeous!

The key to good prosthetics is to embrace that they aren’t a real arm/leg but still perfectly good and useful instead of trying to make it a cheap imitation of a human limb.

Let’s make robots unique and not try to forge them into something human-looking just for human “comfort”. They are their own individual people, not everyone has to look human to be considered human.
