One important thing that you should do as a queer person is to find another queer person whose brain works just like yours (romantically or not) and then adopt a cat together and then finally steal that fucking Pikachu and make it big
like, if you’re a bomb disposal guy and your team has a cool bomb-disposal robot which you’ve given a cutesy name to, you may hesitate to put that robot in harm’s way, which is NOT OPTIMAL in the bomb-disposing field.
it also doesn’t help if you hold funerals for the robots after they get exploded (this happens pretty regularly).
anyway nobody has worked out how to stop humans from pack-bonding with literally inanimate objects and they probably never will. (like even knowing it’s a problem, I *still* think those EOD robots deserve funerals).
In 2007, the US military rejected a multi-limbed anti-mine robot because it’s demise was too inhumane.

oh perfect, this is EXACTLY what I was talking about
Scientists in films: this alien/AI is not human and therefore undeserving of any kindness or sympathy
Scientists irl: This is my friend Robob he’s five feet long, has ten legs and was built to explode mines and if anybody hurts him I will tear apart time and space to get revenge
You know, every so often I think I should update my pirated copy of CS2.
Then I see things like this, and remember that I don’t need it more than I need it, you know?

Heads up, folks. I haven’t seen this going around tumblr yet, but it’s all over my twitter feed. If you’re using a current version of photoshop, make sure this is switched off - it’s opted in by default.
