It's bizarre that trying a minor as an adult is a thing. "You're too young and foolish to vote, sign a contract, make your own medical decisions, get a tattoo, join the military, or adopt a pet — but you're fully responsible for that crime you did and you deserve to have your life ruined about it."

I do!

As for the "ATM with a live teller," do you know what it actually *is*? My first thought is an ATM with some kind of audio connection to a human inside the bank.

There are things I feel that way about — especially clinical psych language whose meaning has gotten wildly distorted online, like "trauma bonding" and "codependent" — but ATMs aren't one of 'em

should have eaten a ghost pepper

The only one that makes sense to me as a shorthand for "mental health care" is the "stigmatized" one

I kinda love this. ATM has ceased to be an abbreviation and turned into a morpheme in its own right.

Actually I think that happened quite a while ago, and is also why people have been saying "ATM machine" for decades.

Your flag post is too!

It's at times like this that I wish I had the ability to magically make someone's mouth temporarily vanish

Actually, I'm not sure if it's a euphemism, a shorthand for "mental health issues/struggles," or using the phrase as a "variable" with a range of "values" (does that make sense)? Regardless, these sentences sound pretty weird if you remove the word "mental" or change it to "physical"

• "Why is mental health still stigmatized in 2020?"
• "it's not good at anything except exacerbating my mental health"
• "I hate how she dismisses my mental health"
• "With my history of mental health, it left her with
thoughts of the worst as she called all of my friends"

I've been collecting examples of "mental health" being used as a euphemism for "mental illness":
• "Really hate when ppl use mental health to excuse horrible behavior"
• "I (20f) have been battling mental health for years"
• "Cell phones are mostly the cause of mental health and disassociation"

I think I know what you mean but can you elaborate?

Porpentine, Charlie Jane Anders and Rivers Solomon should be required or anyone getting into sci-fi

i do think now is perhaps the worst time in all of human history for trans people to be settling our beefs with each other loudly and in the public square.

i think that’s a pretty bad decision to be making in 2025.

Is this really a thing people are upset about‽

A lot of my music I do think about chordally, and it’s for pop-related reasons. But it also depends on the piece and what I’m trying to accomplish.

Arguably this is why Neo-Riemannian analysis is useful

I haven’t but a bandmate did this recently and it worked pretty well

I usually use a Zoom recorder. I believe the current one I have is an H1

This is incredible

This is a URL lengthener—one of the stupidest and funniest web inventions I’ve ever come across

We have incredibly cool technology, we just take it for granted. We have vast libraries of music, art and literature in out pockets! We can separate recordings of chords into their constituent notes! Surgeons can perform operations remotely using robots!

I'm pretty sure the forms of resistance shown in cyberpunk also fall into this category!
