classical/pavlovian conditioning as in pavlov's dog (pairing two stimuli so that the second alone eventually produces the unconditioned response of the first, traditionally ringing a bell while feeding a dog until the dog salivates when it hears the bell even though there is no food)

Some statistics
Child Sex Trafficking has been reported in all 50 states
The most human trafficking cases have been reported in California, Texas and Florida.  Las Vegas is also a hot spot.
There are more than 365,000 missing children in the US each year. 30% of those missing are being trafficked (approximately 109,000 children).
The average age of a trafficked child is 15 years old.
You can be a part of the movement to put an end to child trafficking by donating to the cause. Every donation, no matter how small makes a difference!

one thing about playing with mechs with other people is I have realized I am going after the horror of that sort of setting in a different way than the people i play with i've seen mech posting. why we gotta be hooked to a machine. Like I don't think that sort of vibe is bad when talking about mechs but i think mechs existing in general is horrifying.

Okay I’m currently proud to announce that I am working on a new indie pilot! It’s a fan made spinoff of Hazbin!! It’s about a whole different group of characters from Hazbin instead of Charlie and the rest of the hotel. I’m not going to spoil the plot but I will probably start leaving teasers and sneakpeaks. Also here’s a clue about who the main characters are!
Tumblr media
The series will probably be around 5 to 8 episodes?? Maybe?? Anyway the series will be voiced by my friends including my bestie Zoey and my boyfriend Kai!! We can’t wait to share it with everyone! It might take a while since all of us have school but we will manage lol. FEEL FREE TO ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT IT!! I WILL GLADY ANSWER LOL. Stay tuned!!

tumblr is also not allowing me to reblog any post with a Mature community label on it, despite the fact that I have all of the mature content controls turned off.
Hell world. Hell world hell world hell world hell world hell world.

I just had the most insane dream, I'm probably not going to remember much about it, but I'll immortalize this quote.
"A bomb, I have a bomb in me, it may look like a baby, but in actuality it is a bomb"

AO3 has been online for exactly 14 years, funded only by user donations, and exceeds its donation goal within days every single time, but you don't think it's sustainable? It's unconventional to how other non-profits operate, but it also shows zero signs of failing because of that.
happy anniversary of the website that asks its users for money every six fucking months, anon!! so I've posted a lot about this. I mean, a lot a lot. if for some reason my stance and opinion isn't painfully clear after a look through those tags, sure, I'll reiterate.
tl;dr in advance: it is, as a rule, fundamentally unsustainable for a nonprofit to rely entirely on unallocated donations from its userbase. the OTW's insistence on not diversifying its fundraising is one symptom of an underlying issue of gross mismanagement.
related issues include: their "transparent" financials are consistently Not, promised investments (which would have been diversified funding!) go unmade and ultimately abandoned, and their public finance meeting Q&A session was laughably uninformative.
the direct result of this "donations-only fundraising -> operating with volunteer staff only -> tell people they need to donate because we're a fully volunteer-run organization!!" pipeline is that as of this July, the OTW's strategic plan (found via this post, worth a full read) for diversity consulting, reviewing potential alternative fundraising methods, and transitioning to paid staff (all very important moves) will take the next three years to fully implement.
this is not a sustainably run nonprofit. the fact that the AO3 website is still chugging along, receiving one or maybe two functional updates per year that improve its usability somewhat, does not make the OTW a functional or sustainable nonprofit.
and the fact that AO3 uses its volunteer-run status as a reason to encourage donations in twice-yearly drives while the OTW is sitting on:
Tumblr media
(sourced from the OTW's Guidestar page, current as of 2021) $2.3 million dollars in ready cash from previous fundraising, makes them downright fucking malignant in my opinion.
hope that helps!

Oh
My
Cogs look at all those plants! Auwah! I have plants too! They're all succulents!

"It's always good to see another who's interested in non-Suit Life!
Succulents are such a hardy plant... so stubborn and so beautiful. Possibly the easiest plant to take care of. I may consider getting Judy or Jason a succulent.
I could give Jennifer one, but I doubt she'd take care of it well. Janet I haven't seen in a while, I believe she's on vacation."

anyway on this planet there are people who will invite themselves to your office and spend an hour and a half telling you insane theories they have on how you should do your job, but there are also boyfriends who will leave work early so they can make you dinner before you leave for game night. so it's a pretty big range.

90s run PAD has this rlly annoying trend where he very often write a female character being in love w miguel and suddenly her entire character shrinks down to the scope of what drama this provokes and it's near continually in service to the narratives of men (Gabriel and Miguel interpersonal drama for example). even when there are actually interesting things to be mined from this angle like w lyla its like. this is a pattern w you dude.
#my GOD we lost kasey nash in the wars skdfhjkdshfkjs#like. it sucked. the fact she goes from a revolutionary to primarily a wedge between gabri and miguel SUCKS.#for some reason its like folks pretend PAD also literally wasnt writing the kronom arc where character assasination is happening#left and right to prop up dana as a martry. when like he was literally just writing that.#like im sorry i love the 90s run too and i have a lot of sympathy for the strain the team wouldve been under while corp bullshit was#exploding above their heads but like. the fact PAD appears to like. just not be fucking bothered to explain what#danas thought processes are flipping from one belief to a wildly opposing one is just bad and tbh LAZY writing#and this is happening dozens of issues before the worst irl circumstances for the team even cropped up#tunes talks critical#can u tell im on my period lmao#tunes talks 2099#like even regarding xina. i think she escapes the worst of this writing treatment from PAD but like. the fact that the dimension PRIMARILY#explored in the text w her is around her relationship w miguel is honestly really disappointing. i LIKE that dimension yes but there is so#much more to explore with her! does she have friends outside of miguel (and if not does this tie into her apparent isolation from alchemax)#how does xina operate as a relatively independant and implied self employed individual in this world of corp monopolies#she CARES about the truth and fighting back against false narratives spun to consolidate power and profit so how does this extend into her#normal life? does she know about downtown when education wise this seems to be something utterly ommitted? what does she think about it?#what kind of hope did she hold regarding angela's work?#if she believes miguel to still work at alchemax why is this not a point of conflict between them? does she fear losing him? did she give#up trying? etc etc etc there are SO many compelling dimensions to explore w her and the text keeps them#largely sublimated to background details in the art. or what we can interpret as sublimated conflicts the characters dont want to address#but in terms of what is in the TEXT i want more. i want more as someone who really loves this fucking thing lmao
