#i need right this

[mskenway97]

Another day of no luck, always the same problem. I didn't know what was wrong with me, I used to get more excited about things, but now it's like a constant code.

Get up, go to work, give more of myself, go home.

And so it starts all over again…

Even after meeting the Autobots and offering the base some time. I had to smile the whole time.

It was a problem of mine, and the problem was that I felt I was sinking.

At least I knew how to hide it, no one had asked me about my condition…..

Until a certain leader noticed it too much…

-Y/N patrol mission, I need your help - Optimus told me.

This was strange to me, Optimus usually doesn't take humans with him, though our friendship had grown stronger over time. The truth is, his company put me at ease.

The ground bridge opened to a secluded place, a beautiful beach at sunset, you could see the waves moving, a perfect temperature with a slight breeze.

I saw the big giant robot kneeling in front of me, Optimus is not one to show his emotions to people, but you could tell right away when he wanted to talk seriously to someone.

- Beautiful place… Peaceful and quiet. I didn't bring you here for the mission - he told me as I felt his optics trying to read my soul - What's wrong with you, little one?

I always felt a tingle when he called me 'little one', his deep, soft voice would soothe anyone, but I couldn't give in, and his gaze seemed to catch the undercurrent of my problem.

I lowered my eyes to at least try to hide it… but I felt one of his digits lift my chin so that I was looking straight at him…

I wasn't going to let him leave without getting what he wanted to know, at that moment I couldn't take it emotionally any longer.

-I don't know… It's just that I feel like I've lost the illusion for the things I liked… I feel that the days are getting grayer and grayer - I said with tears in my eyes - It's just that I…

His digit wiped away my tears while he picked me up with his other servo and put me in a comfortable position in his arms. He didn't squeeze me, but he held me firmly enough on his chassis.

Where I could hear the pulse of his Spark.

-Little one, these frustrations I can understand, I've had a long life in war….. Sometimes I wanted to give up, but thanks to the company of others I'm still holding on - he told me as he looked at me and saw that I had more tears - it hurts me a lot to see you like this, but I can listen to you whenever you need it.

There I burst into tears as I let my tears fall on his chassis, I felt him squeeze me some more…. I stayed like that until I let it all out, then I felt him give me a kiss on my forehead and his optics look at me with a certain glow that calmed me down.

- Are you feeling better? - he asked me.

I just nodded as he began to stroke my cheek a little.

A sunset that turned into night reminded me that despite those moments when I felt like I had no direction.

There was always someone there to pull me out of the darkness.

if you're subscribed to Microsoft word, you probably received an email recently saying they're upping their prices. Like, a lot. ($9.99/month instead of $6.99)

guess what though? you can log into your account, click Cancel Subscription, and get the option to continue your subscription at the same price WITHOUT their bullshit AI.

That's right, the new, higher price is actually a different subscription that includes AI that everyone is being opted into by force! What a cool and fun product that clearly everyone wants.

you can also choose to buy Word 2024 without AI for a single lump sum that will be yours in perpetuity, with no updates, for one computer.

Check your subscription if you need Word for work! Don't get duped into paying for something you might not even want

since spotify wrapped is coming today i just want to bring awareness to the fact that around 86% of the songs on spotify are currently demonetized since spotify decided that tracks with under 1,000 cannot be monetized. not only that the ceo of spotify cashed out $35.8 million dollars in spotify shares in the third quarter of the year and it has been reported that he earns more than the top artists on the platform.

for a platform that claims to support artists, this is outrageous and i hope people realize that an artist who is starting out, cannot make a living out of spotify streams simply because daniel ek and his friends made it worse for the artists trying to start a career. if you wanna support musicians and the possibility for them to get a living wage please follow United Musicians and Allied Workers (UMAW) which are trying to make The Living Wage for Musicians Act a reality so musicians can be paid fairly through streaming platforms and get the cut they deserve.

I'm convinced Mythbusters needs a reboot. Misinformation or mythinformation if you will, is at an all time high. We NEED the show that promotes critical thinking to come back. It doesn't need the same cast, in fact I think it would be better with some fresh faces. Imagine all the good it would do if you could just show your crazy uncle the Mythbusters reboot episode that debunks his anti-vaxx conspiracy in an easily digestible and entertaining format.

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

I need your help with a hypothesis!

For context: My linguistics professor and I got into a discussion after a test she did with us, and I was of the opinion that the reason for the results was different from the one she offered, so she encouraged me to test my theory.

What I need

All you need to do is draw a coffee cup (with a handle, not the disposable stuff) and then answer three questions.

I don't need to see the coffee cup. You can draw it wherever you like; on a piece of paper, digitally, in the sand, on a foggy window. Anything works. It does not have to be good. A doodle is fine.

You have to draw the coffee cup before you see the questions. This is very important. If you decide to help me with this, please doodle the coffee cup before you keep reading.

Assuming you have drawn the coffee cup, I now need you to answer these three questions:

On which side did you draw the handle?

Are you right-handed or left-handed?

Do you primarily write using the Latin alphabet or a different one? (please specify which)

More context

Most people will draw the handle on the right side. My professor says it's because most people are right-handed, so they draw the handle in the direction that would be comfortable for them to pick up.

I said drawing it on the right side just felt more comfortable to my hand and argued it's probably because we write a bunch of letters like that. B, b, D, P, p, R all look like a tiny "handle on the right side" and are all a straight line followed by a round one (so "cup first, handle second," like most people draw cups). The Latin alphabet doesn't have letters like that that face the other way, except maybe d, depending on how you write it, so it makes sense to me that people writing mostly Latin letters would go with the handle on the right side.

Which means that I need to know what Asians, Arabs and Greeks do and if the distribution of left and right sides of handles differs from the Latin alphabet group. Cyrillic seems to favor right, too, though it'd be interesting to see if there are differences.

If there are, my theory is right. Doubly so if there is a sizeable increase in a group whose alphabet has letters that benefit the left side choice.

So feel free to spread this to as many people as you like and put the answers in the comments or the tags of a reblog. The more answers I get, the better I can assess whose theory is better.

Thank you for your help!

local asian market reorganized its shelves. consequently when i went looking for my ve wong vegetarian flavor instant noodles i unexpectedly found myself in the Good Quality Cookware And Beautiful Dishes aisle, aka the aisle of temptation, face to face with a mug (my favorite dish) with a lid (my favorite thing for a mug to have) and a heron pattern (my second-favorite bird) at a very reasonable price (i’m on a budget and i literally do not have room for another mug on my mug shelf). it was like one of those fucked up tests they give monks in shaolin movies to see if they’ve really given up earthly desires. that mug is going to haunt the broken man that i am for a long time
