because Alexa WILL NOT call for help unless you’ve set it up this way first!
this woman was REALLY smart to do that, because otherwise the Echo thing would’ve done nothing. don’t think your Echo will respond to “call 911″ or “call the cops/ambulance/fire department” unless you’ve set it up with the numbers first, and certainly don’t think it’ll hear sounds of a struggle and call for help without a direct command. otherwise think of how many false reports it would make just from overhearing TV and movies being on!
so instead of this being shared as “Amazon’s AI is going to hear that you’re in trouble and will call for help by itself!” this story should really be shared as “hey if you have one of these things, set it up to respond to a voice command CALL 911before you’re in that kind of situation!”
car theaters are not super popular anymore but that doesnt stop anyone from doing it at home!!!
Soundwave is the only good projector that they could get, but he doesnt mind, he also wants to see Race and Race Faster 2. Also Steve the vehicon decided to join.
Weird purple butterfly bean is my Brainstorm/Nautica baby, Mobius! The more time goes by and the more that happens in canon the more guilty I feel about this ship, both because of interactions between those two and others and the fact that it’s a “straight” ship, but… it’s still one of my OTPs. In addition to that tag there’s also a headcanon post I made about them here. And… oh my god it’s going to have been three years since I designed them on the 20th of this month. That’s next Thursday.
Extra shitty note doodles, since that’s all I seem to do anymore art-wise since starting vet tech school:
And then I realized that was probably too calm of Brainstorm so I followed it up with:
In my research for science! for a fick I am writing I learned a bit about Kama Sutra. Surprise, surprise, it is more than just a book with description of fun sexytimes, in fact most of it is devoted to how to better live with your spouse (People who know better, correct me if I am wrong here).
So I had an idea about Cybertronian version of Kama Sutra and how the content might differ depending on where the authors were from.
Like if it was written by Vosians – would it include suggestions on how to keep a trine happy?
If it was written by Praxians – would it have chapters describing the spiritual bonding one could reach through doorwing stimulation?
Would a Kaonite author include suggestions on how to treat the wounds of your gadiator mate?
Would Iaconian version have tips on how to discretely show affection when in public?
Discussions are welcome.
Kama Sutra has a lot on Social Issues. It’s also… How can I say. Functionist as all frag.
All sorts of talk about how it isn’t AT ALL appropriate, normal, or healthy for mechs to dom someone who technically outranks them.
Alt-mode interfacing is discussed only to condemn it.
(there’s absolutely a version circulating where all of the Functionalist nonsense has been replaced, but it is Not At All legal to possess)
You don’t have to love abortion. You can dislike it. Maybe it even makes you sad. The way you view abortion is up to you. If you don’t like abortion, you can advocate for proper sex education, access to birth control and other things that have been shown to lower unplanned pregnancies. You don’t have to like abortion.
But what you can’t do is disrespect somebody for having an abortion. You can’t take away that choice from women because you don’t like it. Your emotions are not somebody else’s responsibility. Your emotions aren’t more important than anyone else’s bodily autonomy. You don’t have to like abortion, but you have to respect other people’s rights and that includes the right to safe, accessible, abortion.
