Doodles from a rain meadow(rainworld multiplayer mod) lobby

It was way more eventful but I got lazy lol

Holy **** oh right okay. So I was about to make a post about how using speech to text has already been a game changer for me but as you can see by the line of asterix at the start of this post the bloody thing auto censors swear words. (Yet bloody got through, ig Because it is a description and also British slang.). Hint: the word I was trying to say there starts with F and ends with K.

Oh and guess what else you can't say you can't say? **** [Nipples]. had to type that myself. penis is ok but **** [clitoris] isn't, and all my attempts to say "clit" were Misunderstood, which may just be my speech but at this point I am not willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Vagina is OK too but every time I say it there is a moment when an * shows up on screen first before the full word does. this doesn't happen when I say the word penis.

It is completely heinous. Anybody who needs speech to text is immediately forced to comply with the rules set out by people in a position of power and then enforced by a machine — a machine that is a very powerful accessibility tool. Imagine trying to dictate a letter to a doctor or fill in an E consult with speech to text, only to have words of your anatomy censored as if they are taboo. there is already far too much stigma around genital physical health — and note that I could say genital but can't say **** [clitoris] — for it to be okay for these words to be censored.

And even if somebody just wants to swear In a message to their friends or write smut/**** [pornography], they should be able to. There is no justification for this feature. No reason for it to be default.

I'm trying to find a way around this. There is a settings icon on the little speech to text bar that comes up, but this only gives me options For the speech typing launcher, auto punctuation, and to set the default microphone. it's making me extremely angry

this pearl is very very important here!!. & because of that pearl i do not think it's an iterator-specific clock, the citizens used it too. personally i think that 0000.001 would have marked some point around the start of the void fluid revolution or iterator era. the dates in the pearls seem to progress without any sort of reset so i doubt it's a yearly cycle. the pearl also says "the beginning of 1514.008", if it only lasted 1 minute i dont think they'd feel the need to say "beginning of"

moon did say she would wait as long as possible because forced communications are unpleasant for everyone in the network, and it took only 6 decimals for her to become desperate, so i feel like whatever a decimal represents, it isn't very short. in the eyes of an iterator, no she did not wait very long, but the same cant really be said for her dying processing strata

i'm not saying a cycle is 1 day, but using cycles to measure the decimals would mean that a 24 hour cycle made it 75 years that had passed. and if it were longer then it would be. like. actual centuries. saying that was mostly to emphasise my point about it being a long time that had passed. unless you say rain world people could live for centuries which feels not very plausible (i know they are technologically advanced and 1.5x-2x the size of a human or whatever but it feels a bit weird to say they can live that long) the decimals probably represent somewhere between a few days to a couple of weeks worth of time, depending on how old seventeen axes fifteen spoked wheel was when they got championship of the speaking tournament. it says they had memories from old age so unless you say they won the speaking tournament a few days before they ascended, the decimals definitely dont represent 1 minute

i assumed a rain world 'year' was 1000 cycles, so if a cycle lasted 24 hours then a year in rain world would equate to a few years in our world. so once the decimals reach 1000 it makes 1630.999 turn to 1631.000. the only word for time measurements used by characters ingame is cycles (i think) so i have doubts about there being a shit ton of different ones idk thoug </3 abnyway. to the iterators it wouldnt have felt like centuries that pebbles had been missing, it'd have felt a lot shorter than that, but it was still a long time. i think. maybe im wrong about all this. it's probably vague on purpose

does five pebbles often disappear for very long periods of time or something

suns. what do you mean "not in a long while" he has literally been radio silent for 27,552 cycles. i understand that iterators perceive time as faster than we do but what the fuck . is pebbles disappearing for tens of thousands of cycles a normal occurrence why were they so casual about it if you say 1 cycle = 24 hours (it is probably longer) that makes 27,552 cycles = 75.5 years. it only took 6 cycles for moon to become desperate enough to force communications with pebbles so she was probably dead by then as well. how did this even happen without suns having any idea about it. talk to other local groups a bit more jesus christ dude

you turn into L I G M A

this is what im choosing to do with my free time before i start my first job

I don’t know if this has been asked yet, so I’ll ask now:

Are Iterators a part of the great cycle? Or do they experience the same death and rebirth as the player/slugcats do? Or more generally: what types of things are a part of the cycle, and why?

Iterators live far too long and are far too karmically aligned to have their existence scattered through multiple strands, they tend to really only exist on a single one. But they're still material creatures, and still are a part of the cycle

Just... unborn, in a way.

Strands split and branch off and die due to rapid activity in dreams- like player deaths or karma gains. But iterators don't really do any of that, their strands never branch until they're diseased or near death, and if not for their taboos, would be able to slip away in an instant, like pulling a loose thread out from a sweater

i don't know how to phrase this but it feels so horrible seeing palestinians having to request strangers here for donations. they are having to put photos of their kids in hopes that it tugs the heartstrings of someone who sees it and then donates to them.

we've seen nearly 20 months of genocide and we've lost so many thousand people from gaza. i genuinely do not understand anyone who doesn't feel genuine heartache and grief for palestine.

gaza was so full of life and light. it physically hurts to see the aftermath of the destruction led by the occupation. homes and schools and hospitals and parks are all rubble now.

despite all this death and destruction, palestinians are trying to survive and maintain hope for the future.

i request you to donate to alaa amsse, a mother of two young children. she is fundraising to feed her family and take care of basic necessities. there is a famine and she needs firewood to keep her family warm. her fundraiser has been verified.

please help her and her family by donating

Did You Know? Computer programs can be lesbians!

No safety. No food. No aid. No water. No healthcare. No education. Is this what it means to live? Is this what world accept as life?

If a group of animals were trapped, starved, and cut off from the world like this, people would be outraged. But because it's us—human beings—somehow, the world looks away.

These are unbearable days. Everything feels heavy. Each hour presses on my chest like I’m being suffocated.

My family needs urgent help.

Basic survival has become nearly impossible. Bread—just bread—now costs over $25 a day to make.

We are not asking for luxury. We are begging for life.

Please, if you’re reading this: help. Reblog this post. Talk about us. Donate if you can. Even a small act can mean everything right now.
