[Image descriptions in order: a tweet by @AdamBlumenau "Radmad" which says "Genuinely amazing how uncurious these guys are regarding why things are done the way they've been done. "Move fast and break things" has ruined an entire generation of engineers.

They are replying to a tweet by @cybrtrkguy "The Cybertruck Guy" (verified). The contents of the tweet are cut off, but attached are two images of 3D models of the insides of cars. On the left is a regular car, showing a multitude of red wires running through the whole frame, connecting to each part. On the right is an image of the Cybertruck, which shows one main blue wire running through the middle. There are several red portions of the car showing electronic components that the single wire connects to.]

[The tweet by The Cybertruck Guy, which says "You know how cars have huge wiring harnesses? That's because each component needs its own set of wires, connected to the central ECUs, in order to function. Every speaker, every switch, every sensor, every actuator, every button. Tesla threw out that entire system for Cybertruck. Instead, they're running gigabit ethernet cabling with a 48v power + data CAN bus to every component- all on the same cable."]

[The rest of the tweets are replies to Adam Blumenau's response. They are:

"Radmad": Astronauts landed on the moon using altitude markers hand-etched on the window and now we can't get a rocket off the pad without blowing it up]

[@Cyanide_Patch "Skoden ✊🏽": the single point of catastrophic failure is a feature

@AdamBlumenau "Radmad" responds "I want my car to have weak points like a Zelda boss".]

[@max_spero "Max Spero" (verified): I have a friend whose Tesla Model Y suddenly lost power steering in the middle of a drive. Every single warning was going off at the same time. Took 3 service appointments before they found a single loose connection that caused all of it.]

[@spicyboi8885h "🌶️spicyboi": > engineering take from a vidya game designer

@icryaboutlife "dzs🇭🇺": Move fast break things is great for certain use cases. Like rockets. Thinking it applies well to everything is a mistake tho]

[@chub_chub44 "sworddog44": "You know those cheap Christmas lights that pissed off your mom because if one bulb burnt out every bulb behind it didn't work? We are using those to power this truck."]

[@TheNerdy... "Michael Roberts": Love it when 75% of my car stops working because there's a fault in my window and no steering means I cause an accident at highway speeds but I don't have to deal with any of that because my spine was turned to paste from the lack of crumple zones and I was killed instantly.]

[@PaulSillanpaa "Paul Sillanpää": This is sounding like the hype for that Titan sub that went down a few months ago. "Nobody has ever designed a sub like this before!" "And you didn't ask why?"]

#dude thats horrifying #keep that shit off the roads #feel free to copy n paste the id #cars #cybertruck

im so jealous of ppl who want to and can read fics often. i have to jump over like 6 mental walls before i can even open a fic, and then another 4 to actually begin reading

#and if something about the fic throws me off even a little i not only immediately stop reading it #but it sets the whole process back for every other fic in my marked for later pile #predominantly i think my current problem is time constraints? i *have* to sleep for my job or it puts #unnecessary risk on not only me but everyone else i meet on the road. and also im Driving All Day so i can't read then #and then i come home and somehow it takes me 4-5 hours to do shower/dinner/unwind #and then it's like okay great i can either dedicate an hour-ish to my own shit or i can read maybe #MAYBE 1-2k words of what is probably a 5k+ fic #and it's just. frustrating #i think i read probably 40 or more fics in 2022 and since then i've read maybe 5 #anyway this is a cry for help maybe but mostly it's an apology to every fic author i know whose fics i have not and #maybe will not ever read #ily ur great pls keep writing

ok so your first problem was assuming mdzs is a story where Good People are Rewarded and Bad People are Punished.

your second problem was assuming that MXTX—who goes out of her way to showcase unresolved, tragic, undeserved endings in all of her works—would ever write a story with such a shallow notion of “deserving.”

the only reason wangxian makes it out unscathed is because they’re literally the protagonists. authorial intent and plot armor ensure their happy ending. that’s it.

#mdzs talk #moi #i mean it also helps that neither wwx nor lwj give a rats ass about the rest of the cultivation world #wwx had already fucked off and lwj was basically doing that too #that man has never given a single shit about politics and maintaining good relationships #like what does it say about you if even jiang cheng is a better politician than you.#mister ‘don’t talk to me before i’ve had my coffee. or after. just don’t fucking talk to me.’#but yeah wangxian is like oh we helped to create a massive power vacuum and destabilized the entire cultivation world?#ahaha no way!🤪 hey actually can this wait? my husband and i wanna go fuck in the bushes 🥰#like. lwj that’s YOUR brother that just lost his most significant emotional support of the last decade.#wwx that’s YOUR pseudo nephew whose parental figure you just got killed.#that’s YOUR pseudo nephew who now has to become sect leader at like 15.#but nah they wanna go bang on the side of the road #god forbid they try to clean up some of the gigantic mess they helped to make #and nobody try to argue ‘well but jgy!!’ buh buh buh nothing. jgy cleaned up after himself.#neither wwx nor lwj had ANY personal stake in seeing jgy dead. lwj SHOULD have had a personal stake in keeping him alive actually.#i still think it’s super shitty and hypocritical of lwj to defend wwx so strongly and yet try so hard to condemn jgy in PRIVATE #both wwx and lwj really showed their asses at guanyin ngl. obviously huaisang did too.#like yeah it’s noble and righteous or whatever but like. righteousness was not why lwj defended wwx before.#wangxian stans being self-righteous and hypocritical? with classist double standards? with black and white mentality?#wow! who would have ever guessed?

me when i write a character who is prone to dooming themself and then they run off and doom themself. core traits are stubbornness and a willingness to disregard their own humanity gET BACK HERE IM NOT DONE WITH YOU

#rambling #surprisingly this is not about jakob.. im just really consistent about my favorite character archetypes 😭😭#WARNING THE NOTES ON THIS ARE REALLY LONG I STARTED RAMBLING #“ouhh i have a headache i'll just lie down and rotate my blorbos in no general direction for a while until it goes away” and then boom.#serious plot considerations. 2 questions answered 24million new questions raised. this is specifically Not what i asked for.#so now im sitting here STILL dizzy running mental calculations on how i can get this bitch out of peril without reworking everything #but they literally keep dying in every timeline 😭😭 every single plausible road leads to them running off and screwing themself over #“character who doesn't realize they want to live until it's way too late to look back” VS #“character who is forced to live and handle the things they never though they'd survive long enough to deal with” FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.#fucking hell i have never had this much trouble writing a character as i have with them #they genuinely do just run off and do shit without my permission and then i have to pace for an hour or two wondering #“ok they wOULD do that. but should they. do i feel like i can confidently write that.”#im like constantly in this tug of war trying to get them to CHILL #but also they are absolutely my favorite character from the entire project. but like. FUCK GET BACK HERE #is death the most satisfying end to this arc? is someone who was Set on dying then NOT dying the most satisfying end to the arc?#how many bridges can you burn until you irreparably set yourself aflame too?#would ghost or revival plotline work?? would it make sense with the worldbuilding??#do i just Like Them enough to want them to not die?? where do i draw the line between personal bias and a good arc?#is death not feeling as impactful as survival solely because i've been writing for so long that it's lost the initial impact?#and other such plot considerations...#im gonna have such an easy time writing another character though 😭😭 because THAT character's dynamic in the second act #is to stare at character 1 and be like “why are you like this. i mean i know Why but can you chill. please.” and like damn bro me too #actually wait no i think kaey.a is the hardest character i've ever written i take it back #had to worry about his 20million facades AND his Actual feelings AND canon compliance. shit is hard #i still havent finished the k/aeya fic i started back when the chasm first released which is uhh. two years ago. oops.#i think i struggle writing emotionally repressed liars i think thats what this is 😭😭 anyways.#(voice of guy who has been obsessed with nonlinear narratives and tragedies for several years):#“is it too much to kill this character in a nonlinear exploration game with tragic elements”#like bitch what are you talking about 😭😭 YOU'RE the target audience here figure it out #sorry the notes on this are just my writing journal now apparently

i can’t believe we live in a world where micky dolenz has an official cover of one of my favorite REM songs like can we imagine how much this would’ve riveted my life when i was like sixteen and in my full REM thing like micky fucking dolenz!!! sings REM!!!! it’s a collaboration that is created just to make me go absolutely feral.

#micky dolenz #and the video has all these micky home movies from when he was a kid i have spent YEARS scouring the internet for baby micky content #cause there’s circus boy and there’s magazine pictures but here is like full home video and even stuff from like keep off my grass #You Know rolling in the road!!! he got laid!!!!#and like it’s just handed to us on a silver platter while micky sings shiny happy people and man on the moon and shit like WHAT #tumblr is my little diary #at least he didn’t sing sidewinder or nightswimming or my brain would go into hyperdrive and i would physically leave this plain #okay going to bed now goodnight i love micky soooo muchhh!!!!

will never not be pissed off and also baffled by outdoor cat owners who, instead of actually listening to concerns about the safety of their cats, will just boldly state shit like this as if it isn't horrifying:

"yeah i just let my Half Blind cat out to wander around where theres cars and wild animals and cruel people but he isnt hurting birds !" Shit like this should count as neglect and abuse and I'm not exaggerating in the least. this doesn't even take into account weather and disease and all the other factors you're also exposing your cat too I just don't understand how people can say stuff like this proudly.

And this is said in response to people taking home cats they find out on the street and like I understand not wanting to lose your cat but if you're not fucking taking care of it IDGAF!!!!!! WAH WAH YOU CAN'T CLOSE A DOOR OR INVEST IN A CAT HARNESS OR PLAY WITH YOUR CAT then don't get a fucking cat!!!!!!

#And yes if your cat needs outdoor time and is a former outdoor cat etc you CAN walk your cat!!!!!!#You literally can walk them!!! it's fun and easy to do it's not limited to just dogs!#this way you can supervise your cat and keep them off the road and keep them away from eating/hunting shit they shouldnt #its not anymore expensive than any other toys or supplies you should be getting for your cat #animal abuse #outdoor cats

love is truly the dumb fuck juice of all time because a man can literally tell you 'i have violent thoughts of harming you' and your ass will be twirling hair and kicking feet like 'but would we kiss after that or?' like

#life #nothing recent lmao just been thinking about my younger self #and how utterly in love i was with someone who didn't have their best intentions with my goofy ass #and i was EATING. IT. ALL. UP.#like sure i was in the absolute depths of depression and ping ponged from one suicidal thought to another #and at times those feelings were about the only thing keeping me from jumping off the 16th floor of my dorm building #but then again when he abandoned me like a wet dog on the side of the road #i uh.. almost killed myself yaknow.. maybe it was NOT worth it in the long run lmao #i lived bitch.jpg #but yeah nah just looking back at all that in retrospect and it's truly truly wild as shit how utterly in love my ass was #talking about that suicidio attempt i actually ended up writing about it because it was almost comical how i survived #when your darkest demons crawl out of the shower drain to roast you into living mi amore <3 #it helped me process the whole thing when i was in a much better place mentally #and i read it to my writing group with a bunch of people different ages different walks of life it was a great experience #suicide mention cw

(from your twitter on the john and arthur tag) the only way they should “kiss” is john being a little shit and trying to jokingly express his love by slobbering all over arthur

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

#anon you get it #john is like a weird puppy arthur adopted off the side of the road #if i haven’t expressed this well enough i don’t condone any kind of pseudo incest shit around here #keep ur weird john/arthur stuff as far away from me as possible

listening to the audio drama again, got to s2 ep7 and., I think a HIGHLY underutilized opportunity for a fun angsty fic is "okay but what if Yan Wushi actually did have amnesia for real" lol

like, Shen Qiao already reacted so Much thinking he had amnesia. what if we double down on it instead of "haha jk I was pretending to throw Guang Lingsan off your back"

think of the aaaangst

#qian qiu #thousand autumns #I don't think gls would cause it but I do think he would take advantage #do you think yws would still be interested in sq or would he be bored lol #like the only reason he even started playing around w sq was kind of out of a passing opportunistic curiosity #but now that sq is like. kinda recovered and ostensibly kinda middle of the road...#I feel like yeah he wouldn't rly be interested?#think of how fun it would be to have yws going about doing his shit and sq is the one kind of.. okay maybe not following him around per se #but like. keeping tabs on him and perhaps going slightly out of his way to run into yws more #actually. wait what would be even funnier is if sq kinda resigns himself to losing yws to memory loss #and yet by happenstance he keeps running into him lol. and it makes yws think he's keeping tabs on him LOL #imagine yws flirting but kind of impersonally cuz he's doing it out of form not familiarity #but sq doesn't react the way he expects- which is like to coldly shut him down (the way he did bai rong)#and instead he's like. clearly warring with himself of sort of politely & reciprocally dispassionately brushing it off #and clearly kind of taking it to heart cuz it's like. so so familiar but also so foreign #cuz that underlying thread of shared history isn't there anymore #anyway. I just think this would be fun

Girl like. The reason he said "this is how it should be" and faced death with a smile....is cuz he wanted to die. For 2 years he sat there thinking he was worthless and deserved to die. If he hadn’t be shot, his death would’ve been suicide, he was fully planning to die in a gutter somewhere undetected. When saying "this is how it should be" hes literally saying "don’t cry because I’m dying, my death is a good thing actually because I fucking suck and you are better off without me". I don’t think that’s badass even slightly, it’s actually really sad and really shitty. Shinjiro is so convinced that he deserves to die and hates the idea of anyone giving a shit about him because he literally can’t wrap his mind around the idea that he will be missed when he’s gone, that his death is a bad thing actually. And his last words were meant to be comforting because he fully did not intend for anyone to be there when he died, he intended to die alone, so he says them as a reminder that he’s not worth crying over

Personally, if it were me, if I was holding my dying best friend in my arms who was deeply depressed and suicidal and he said "this is how it should be" uh. I wouldn’t admire him for it??? Like am I losing my mind when I say the way this game handles Shinji is bad or is anyone else seeing this too 😰

#its like okay listen i understand the basic math of any persona game they say things and everything they say is actually #very bad when you think about it for more than 3 seconds #like what theyre intending to do with the death of this character is be like oh no your sad friend dies tragically thats so saddddd #but that doesnt mean you cant live a wonderful life full of meaning you cant let grief consume you life is beautiful awagga #and i guess shinji is a specific character whos used cuz i guess its more tragic that he never realized he was worthy of life and shit #and i guess its also like ‘dont be like this guy who let grief consume him and then died you gotta Be Different’#which i dont. love. that last part cuz if you think about shinji and what led him down this road #its like. of course hes depressed! he accidentally killed a woman with a child when he was 16!#he himself is an orphan and he just made some other kid an orphan as well and it happened cuz his persona went out of control #which very much can translate to ‘this must mean im dangerous and can hurt everyone if im not kept under control’#so of course he isolated himself and believed he was evil and became suicidal like who wouldnt feel that way #like am i supposed to be mad he left sees and took drugs cuz uh while i dont think isolation or Evil Drug is good for his mental health #i dont think him continuing to fight in sees is something he can just easily do again given how he killed someone like he shouldnt have to #be a part of this thing anymore like how would he even safely get castor to not do that??? he cant kill more people on accident!#so yeah like using shinji as an example of bad coping mechanisms is already just. a big fucking oof to me like it just feels like the game #is saying he shouldve gotten over it and simply not be suicidal and stayed on the team. idk if thats the intent but uh it wouldnt faze me #cuz persona games are notoriously awful at writing characters who are traumatized and abused #but what makes everything even worse is how the game kinda like. acts like shinjis death is a stepping stone #like we’re supposed to use it as a wake up call and understand the stakes but keep going on anyways #and akihiko and Ken get. ‘great character development’ according to the game telling you they have now developed #but damn all akihiko is is just repressed he cries for 3 seconds and then is like I SHOULD MAN UP and then neglects a depressed child #shinjis dying words are words to live by now even though they piss me the fuck off like girl am i crazy HES FUCKING #HES TELLING ME NOT TO CRY OVER HIM BECAUSE HE SHOULD BE DEAD ACTUALLY AND THIS IS A GOOD THING ACTUALLY #like if the game wants us to still find meaning in life despite losing someone it just really hurts that shinji has to die for that to work #apparently. cuz the character i see myself in is shinji. not some perfect prettyboy who does everything perfectly and has 4 gfs #his death seems like a punishment for bad behavior. the bad behavior being of course depression and drug use. and im simply supposed to be #better than that if i want to live. and we dont get to form a connection with him cuz thats gayyyyy #and his death is like a NOBLE HEROIC SACRIFICE idk its just such bullshit to me i hate it so bad #how is killing a suicidal guy and then treating it as admirable that he said ‘this is how it should be’ supposed to make me feel #makes me feel sick personally and it ruins the entire game’s theme to me because its fucking shallow and the story is bad and im tired

The world really decided to give me a special on 'all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth' and I'm salty abt it xD

Merr Christmas and Happ Holidays yall💕

#luka rambles #why has my sleep schedule been shit? because tooth pain!#i got to see a dentist just before they closed and guess what! no cavities! none! so-why pain??#i got lotsa work done on them a little over a year 1/2 ago and apparently ive been really good abt keeping them in good shape!!#so again-why pain?well apparently when u have fillings too close to the root they get traumatized overtime and that can lead to infection!#& ive got the lovely combo of weak teeth and long curved strong roots. aka will likely be prone to extractions that will always be complex #so guess who gets root canals on one front tooth and the one to the left of it despite no cavities just after christmas?#and also they fucked up the perscriptions so that i thankfully have antibiotics but unfortunately no pain meds #so. guess who got like 2 hours of sleep before being woken up this morning to Pain. that took 2 hours to back calm down so i could sleep.#and then only got another two hours of sleep bc yknow it fckn chrismers and we had to wake up to get on the road!!#i have had a collective 8 hours of sleep in about 2 days and i get to go right back to work and will not have a day off till thursday #i am. Very Tired. is it any wonder i got an infection my body couldnt handle in the first place? w/ holiday stress to boot #i asked for a galaxy comforter for chrismas and i rly hope i get one bc i will be so ready to take the biggest nap

grape>strawberry jelly any day of the week but homemade blackberry jelly exists on the 4th dimension like it exists far beyond our measly < > system

#god #i havent had blackberries in years #maybe if they were easier to steal from walmart but walmart blackberries r not even worth stealing theyre so ass #blackberrys need to be harvested from your nearest alley for maximum flavor #growing up just down the road there used to be a giant patch of blackberries and id fill up whole bucketfulls #in crocs. and id on purpose step on the biggest thorns so theyd break off in my shoes so i could remove them later like #for fun #i didnt have friends growing up CAN YOU TELL #it was like. pimple popping asmr from me tweezing the thorns from the foam #no wonder. i did not have friends #you find shit to do as a kid to keep yourself entertained literally anything i used to smack rocks between bricks to see what color dust i #could make

anyway yesterday i had this huge break down like sobbing screaming throwing my self on the floor the whole 9 yards and it sounds like outtakes from the midsummer scene and any guess what started it. my dad asked me to buy rotisserie chicken

#personal #obviously lots of context but super funny #especially bc when i was throwing myself around i got a HUGE fucking bruise on my thigh #anyway my weekend was not good. personally #on thursday i went to like 4 stores and was looking for coffee (dad didn’t remember the name) and rotisserie chicken for my dad and his #dog. which i know bad but you have not tried having and elderly blind somewhat lost his mind or mostly it man as ur father for most ur life #you learn to just go with it #and during all of this i’m getting nothing but assholes on the road #like in the morning when i got breakfast for dad and i some lady cussed me out when i wouldn’t reverse into a drive through #and then after the first store some guy nearly hit me backing out of a parking space bc he was going super fast and turned around JUST to #flip me off. and i’m already annoyed bc i didn’t even want to run this errand for a fucking dog but it’s my dad so i keep going #so hit 3 more stores ask my dad if he remembers the coffee name (he requested i call him at the store) he did but it’s too expensive #(i offer to get it firmly but he’s freaking out) i leave and then my mom calls me and gets annoyed at me for not buying it anyway #go to the next store. the shit my dad just told me is to expensive is like 6 bucks more here and it’s too busy to go back to the other some #and i’m so upset but it’s only sale so small win. didn’t find the chicken anywhere #dad and mom start fighting when i get back and it’s so fucking frustrating #anyway that took over 2 hours and was very upsetting then the next day my dad is like #can you go back again 🥺 and i do but not before that huge break down #which during i was like did not know it upset me that much. but anyway ends with me getting locked in my room bc my dad #is coming over to give me batteries not even checking on or hearing the yelling and im naked and im so fucking upset that i don’t even have #a door anymore and it’s middle/high school again and i’m makes and crying and i don’t have a door and everyone’s allowed to come in whenever #naked and crying #bc it doesn’t matter wrre family and im so angry and i lock myself in start slamming on the door and my dads like what can i do and he can’t #see then i just rip the broken door knob from the door in sheer anger and then i spend the next two hours sobbing while looking for chicken #for my dad. did not find it btw. like some time looking for chicken some getting gas then food #so funny i texted my mom during it and she thought i was going to our usual store and texted me things she needed #and i only realized while inside the store i was actually in and started silently sobbing and hyperventilating bc my mom wanted me to go to #another store and she just promised this wouldn’t happen again and there’s no fucking chicken here #anyway i’ve been camping my room bc i don’t want to talk to my dad im not mad at him or anything but i just can’t do the last couple days #and my mom was really nice yesterday about it after hearing me sob and didn’t even give me shit when i said im staying hometoday l8r maybe?
