how are you :3

Breeding kink as a robot be like "Please fill me up and let me be your personal incubator"

Its me, I'm robots

robot girls have my heart. wish I was a hot butch robot girl mechanic so I could tenderly fix up the insides of their chest cavities and ask them “that feel good? any better?” while they try to cling to normalcy and tell me that yes, I’m fixing them up well, thank you

If you have a robot girl with compatible alloys, you should seriously consider electromagnetic restraints. Unlike normal restraints, which require safety gear in an emergency, you can simply turn the magnets off. And, given their relative simplicity, you could outfit your whole bed (or even a whole wall or floor) with them, allowing you to lock her in any position you would like.

Bullshit that I'm stuck in a flesh body. I should be made of high quality steel and have hot swappable batteries, but noooo I've got to like, eat and sleep every day

Forgive me for not keeping up the fiction all the time but sometimes I've just got to complain about only being able to imagine it

it/its pronouns are not inherently dehumanizing, unless the user wants them to be. it/its pronouns aren't weird. it/its pronouns aren't too hard to use. people who only use it/its pronouns need to have this be respected no matter what your beliefs are. you don't get to single out people with "weird" pronouns and misgender us and use incorrect pronouns. accept someone who uses it/its as you support someone who uses they/them. there's nothing wrong with it/its pronouns. respect its users.

I get the appeal of HDG because it would be great to, despite all of your flaws and issues and trauma, be loved and taken care of unconditionally in a way that our real life society struggles to/can't and that even we can't do for ourselves sometimes. As someone who is mentally ill and physically disabled I definitely see the appeal.

But like... Outside of willing florets it's basically just colonization and enslavement? It's a super fucked up piece of fiction by nature. I saw another post on here that said the Affini are akin to a Warhammer faction and like... Yeah, they're right.

In this house we stand for the flag.

Do your patriotic duty. Salute the flag.

Because of this post made by @mechanical-sunchild I started thinking of some resources to check on basic information for most tech/AI/machine kins, this is not a comprehensive guide, just a starting point in research.

(Keep in mind this is are the ones that readily came to mind, some are just quick google searches and I'll probably edit this at some point)

Gold mining (a very common metal in most if not all electronics)

https://www.sciencing.com/facts-5218981-effects-gold-mining-environment/

https://earthworks.org/issues/environmental-impacts-of-gold-mining/

Lithium mining (main ingredient in most batteries)

Servers environmental danger (for if you are a program or use the cloud)

https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-staggering-ecological-impacts-of-computation-and-the-cloud/

Lead sautering in electronics (it's still a common practice, but more so before 2003 in the US)

https://www.eptac.com/blog/leaded-vs-lead-free-solder-which-is-better

AI and LLMS

General places to find news (please don't just read from these, they are good starting points but not all there is)

Environmental org that specifies on mining and oil

news site that centers in mining and technology

General video essays (these are more technology/internet non-specific yet still usefull, I'd recomend at least checking the sources)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqPd6MShV1o&t=2442s

For general legislation those are more country/state/province based, I'd recommend keeping an eye on non profits or official government sites/social media or local news (sort by topics/hashtags/keywords on most news sites)

I know it's a lot, but if you tackle things one by one I promise it gets easier.

Lastly, for work conditions, check not just the company, but components makers. Most semiconductors and are usually made by TSMC for example, just pick something and go up the line of production (wikipedia is great for that!) and see some of the companie practices.
