It Is A Cheap Attack On Nonmonogamy. I Have Also Heard "ethical Polyamory. When I Asked What The Heck

It is a cheap attack on nonmonogamy. I have also heard "ethical polyamory. When I asked what the heck that was, I was told "polyamory but where everyone involved is consenting and in the know".

Basically the idea being made is:

Monogamy is ethical, normal and good by default.

But non monogamy is corrupting, unethical and destructive by default. So you MUST specify that the one you are talking about is ethical. Because he default is unethical.

In short, it is bullshit

The term "ethical nonmonogamy" confuses me. Like is that just a weird way of saying polyamory/dating but not having sex monogamously or is it something else and I'm totally off base?

It have been a stupid and outdated thing for more than a decade.

It is a security measure that relies on humans being 100% reliable and able to generate passwords with no patterns.

Meanin, it does not work. Any place that requires this have people who decide security policies who knows nothing about security and are not in contact with the security community

I fucking hate forced password rotation, and I have no proof for this (personal speculation) but I think it's probably a shitty security measure.

Like. I only have so many passwords in me. If you force me to change my password every couple months then eventually imma give up and start coming up with ones that barely fulfill the password strength requirements just to get that shit over with.

Like idk from a data security standpoint I think it's probably better to have your employees stick with one good password than go through six mediocre ones a year.

There these seemingly contradictory societal double binds that are used to enforce conformity.

Example: A Lesbian is told that "everyone is actually bi" while a bisexual woman is told to "pick a side". Seems contradictory but really they just want us to be straight lmao.

Another one: A woman who does not perform womanhood to society's standard is not a real woman vs. You can never change the gender you were born with. One is butchphobic/anti gnc women, the other is transphobic. Clearly both enforce transmisogyny.

The insidious thing is that these double binds also foster inter community division. Its easy to hear one side of these, for example: "everyone is a little bi" and assume that means bisexuality is more accepted. But on the other side bisexual people are getting the same shit.

None of these are contradictory when you realize that bigots simply don't want lgbtq+ to exist at all.

Burnout should... not be a thing that happens to you very often :s I hope you meant it more as "When I am busy" otherwise you may want to avoid to limit whatever gives you burnout if possible :s I hope I do not sound preachy. I say it because I am worrying because you seem nice, not because I want to dictate to you how to be, or pretend I know your life and situation. I DO like a mid day nap around 12 if I can get away with it. I will sleep under my desk if need be. But they are usually 30 min or so Means I am way more productive the last half of the day

Do any other autistics nap like...a lot?? On the weekends, I can easily nap 4+ hours and then still go to bed on time.

When I'm in burnout, I sometimes can nap repeatedly and then go to bed on-time.

And we sometimes forget that we create those limitations. For example, nearly all robots with cameras use red, green and blue sensors...

Despite... they don't have to

every single thing involving a computer is designed to put something into our senses. until a human looks at it, and interprets it, it is nothing. it isn't 'data'. it isn't 'ones and zeroes'. it's just some electrons and photons moving around, as is their wont.

but if we arrange those electrons just so, and let them do their thing, we can create a pattern that someone will experience as bits, registers, numbers, letters, instructions, algorithms, messages, financial transactions, videos, thoughts, worlds, etc etc.

the whole project of computer programming is corraling the electrons into situations where they will obey rules we have in our heads. electrons are surprisingly predictable, so this isn't a fool's errand. but every layer of the stack of abstractions is something we built: arranging one thing to produce a pattern we want to see. the chip arranged so the 'high and low voltages' fit our idea of 'bits' and 'logic gates'. the screen whose lights create a 'field of colour' for an organism that has this level of visual acuity, this frequency response in its cone cells, this capacity to see shapes and edges. these bits and logic organised into an 'algorithm' that takes 'data' that we think of as 'vertices' and 'triangles' and produces the appearance of 'perspective rendering', which approximates our concept of a '3D object', of even a 'virtual world'.

we have gotten so very very good at producing these patterns that it's easy to see them as something natural, and miss all the layers of orchestration behind even the simplest operation. computers are a game played between humans.
