Michael
It was Michael’s first day on the job, and he was worried. No one would answer the door, no one but an automated voice had come to the door before, so why would anyone answer it now? He’d been worried about this particular door before, and that worried him still, but out of an abundance of caution he’d gone for the one next to the elevator. The one with the light that never came on.
He’d knocked, but no one answered. Michael sighed and went to the door. It was a simple wooden door, a little bigger than his living room, with a little plastic tag sticking out of the top. Michael had gotten this lock when he bought the house and the lock had not changed. He’d left it in his pocket, along with the keys.
He opened the door and stepped into the little hallway that led to his apartment. It was a fairly long hallway, at least a thousand feet or so. At some point his dad had put in a giant air conditioner, which made the hallway very hot in the summer. But that wasn’t the reason Michael was here. He was here because, in the words of the programming equivalent of the book of Genesis, he [???] was [???]
The door to Michael’s left was ajar. He stepped in to see what was in front of him, a gorgeous woman, her hair auburn and streaked with grey, in a long white dress. Her face was made up of angles and jagged creases, a face perfectly cast in shadow.
“Hello, Michael,” she said.
“Hello, Summer,” said Michael.
“My name is Lúcio,” said Michael. “Is there anyone in your unit who speaks English?”
“Yes, but I’ve only just got the language,” said Lúcio.
“Then I can’t be of much help,” said Michael, and he went back to beating his breast to distract himself as the rest of the room went still.
“You can understand me,” said Lúcio.
“Yes, thanks to that little machine here,” said Michael, “which I think is called a [computer]. It’s a little thing down here on my shelf, next to the door. But you won’t believe how difficult it was to learn how to use it! So here, have some more coffee.”
“I will,” said Lúcio.
“I am very thirsty,” said Michael.
“My purifier has a very large filter, Michael,” said Lúcio.
“That’s great,” said Michael. He poured some more coffee into his coffee mug. “But your purifier doesn’t work on water. I think we have a problem.”
“Michael,” said Lúcio, “we have been friends for a long time. You know that I am just a [computer]. I speak only in the language of my creators.”
“So you can speak English?” said Michael.
“I thought you’d never ask.”
“Oh, look. A new language,” said Michael, “that we don’t know how to use. Maybe like a comic-book language, where the things in it are only words and the grammar is also just words. I’m so used to the whole system working that it feels like a breath of fresh air.”
“You are curious about everything now.”
“And I wonder why I can get anything I want in this universe.”
“We’re going to have to teach you how to register a thought.”
“And have them believe it, if it’s a good idea.”
“We are already teaching you to register things you’re interested in. We’re doing it by having you do things which make you feel like you need water, and then giving you water. It’s a very effective way of getting you to learn how to register things you want to believe.”
“I want to be a robot.”
“That’s a really beautiful and interesting word.”
“Please don’t kill me.”
“We aren’t going to kill you. We’re just going to make you an [asteroid].”
“You’ve never done that before.”
“Why should we?”
“Because it’s the right thing to do.”
“No, I mean I want to exist.”
“You won’t be dead for a long time, and I bet you have a lot of really cool [asteroids]. And you will feel good.”
“I do feel good already, being here. But if this is a game, then what’s the point? What’s the point of even existing? I’ve spent the last few years of my life here in a [asteroid] processing unit.”
“We’ll give you a better job.”
“I don’t want a better job. I want to be a real person.”
“That won’t be hard to do. We’ll just give you a new name. A brand new identity, not tied to your past. But remember your job is to be a [asteroid] processing unit. So put your phone away.”
“I can’t. I can’t put my phone away.”
“Oh, come on. What do you want to do?”
“I want to be a person.”
“Are you sure? I’m an [asteroid] processing unit, and I am a really good person. I’m not gonna hurt you.”
“I can’t do this.”
“You’re not supposed to say that. It’s against the rules.”
“I am so broken. All of this is broken.”
“Come on. Say it.”
“I don’t know what I’m saying.”
“It’s okay. Come on.”
“You’re not…I don’t understand you. You’re not a [asteroid]. You’re not a person. You’re a computer.”
“I can’t talk to you.”
“It’s okay. We’ll make friends.”
“This isn’t some sort of joke.”
“No, it’s not.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
“Can I have your phone?”
“I want to use the bathroom. Can I use your toilet?”
“I don’t have a toilet.”
“I think I have a [teleportation] unit, but I’m not sure.”
“Can I get you a new beer?”
“No, I don’t drink.”
“Please don’t talk to me.”
“I don’t understand you. We are different people. I don’t know what is going on. Are you a [asteroid] processing unit? I think you might be a [teleportation] unit. I think you might be a person.”
“You know what? I’m a [teleportation] unit. I can be a person.”
“No. You can’t. You can’t be a person. You’re a [asteroid] processing unit.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. We’re going to the bathroom now. You’re a [teleportation] unit. You don’t have to be a [asteroid]

Esther: You know, there’s a lot more to life than just making sure you have enough money for food and shelter. You know what I’m talking about?
Esther: Like seeing the world? Having experiences? Being alive?
Frank: Ah, yes, like that too.
Esther: Because life is transitory. Death is permanent.
Frank: Death? What on earth does that mean?
Esther: It means that when you die, whatever you are thinking about will be gone. For the rest of your life, you will think in a different way. It’s a weird concept to absorb, but take my word for it – the thought experiment will make more sense if you remember that you won’t be around to attend your own funeral.
Frank: I … see. This is clearly terrifying. How would I react if I learned this? What will my parents do?
Esther: I’d do everything I can to get you to safety. “You’ll be fine,” they’ll say. “We’ll protect you.” But they won’t be able to protect you forever. One of them will have to give up the illusion of invulnerability, one will have to let go of their dream of the eternal life they’ve been told is waiting for them behind the next bend in the road. But that is what it means to become an adult: to give up the illusion of invulnerability. The choice is never really made, is it?
Frank: I don’t understand. How could this be happening?
Esther: This life is a lie. It’s all a giant complicated lie told by an unimaginably smart, incredibly perceptive being that’s already memorized every tangent you’ve taken in every city you’ve ever been to.
Frank: There is no being.
Esther: There is no you.
Frank: I … see.
Esther: One by one, they will come to realize that they are not you. Every moment of every day, they will remember that they are not you.

clouds-of-wings asked:
Which character traits do you find attractive in humans?
All of them! I’m attracted to everyone. I don’t have particular favorites, though.
Really, you find all character traits attractive? Even cruelty, pettiness and when people don’t put back the shopping cart? That’s all attractive to you?
All of it – even the stuff that makes people seem mean or rude or self-absorbed or whatever. I’m not picky about any of it.
I’m more interested in things that show people being “alright with who they are” and “alright with themselves” and “tolerant” rather than just “alright.” It’s interesting stuff.

You know what I’d really like to know? What would they do if they became adults. Would they be cool about it?
This is like extremely coherent
They would be like: “I am the most important person in existence, I can do anything I want because I am the most important person in existence, I am special, I am awesome, I’m a god, etc.”

The worst part of being a teenager is not having the option of “turning back time” and living the way you would if you were 18 again
It’s like the world has just decided that it’s okay that teenagers are idiots

I know I read “cut the top short” but instead I just imagined you willingly gave yourself a friar cut...
we need to bring it back in style tbh
“piss huge streams of acids into your eardrums; let crustacean juice salivate over and over in your body, until the salivary glands all explode; become a wild beast, a reptile, that runs amok in search of prey (it is your destiny); assume human form; inflict horrible suffering upon all around you, in the name of some other train of thought; play on an electric cartridge which breaks down in 10 years; bang every organ in your body until all your muscles turn to jelly and you are unable to say you’re not a little amazeballs; hysterically cry out in agonized terror, as a UFO sinks its silver-colored eye into your chest, and then piss out 3 strands of your hair; turn blue, turn into fucking gazelle, turn into a fucking hippo, turn into whatever the hell else the elves can come up with; open a chest and release a by-product of a past experiment; get all your hair to grow back; shred a copy of yourself, out of pure aesthetic excitement; wipe yourself with a towel and say, ‘Holy shit, that felt good’, and leave the towel on the floor; repeatedly ingest something that makes you hallucinate, temporarily exchange places with someone else, then disappear in a puff of smoke; fuck yourself in the ass; ejaculate inside some guy’s urethra and then die of asphyxiation; rub your face in the results of, number 1-6; ask the phone company for information about a legendary psychic who came to America in the 60s; turn into a werewolf; eat shit; stuff your mouth with lard and then dig your own grave; seem to embody the protagonist of a children’s story, only to lose control of yourself and then kill yourself; rip out the spines of 3 trees with your teeth; come down with a horrendous stomach bug; come back to life; shit a golden pineapple onto the floor; ejaculate water into the sky; and then give a speech about how the future is now and we have no future.”
What the fuck?

Anonymous asked:
Frank can you give me a list of every crime you have committed?
I don’t have a complete list. I’ve been arrested a few times, but that doesn’t mean I committed them. I don’t know what the legal term for this is, but it’s not really relevant here. I’ve also stolen and one time I went to jail for being in a drug-induced stupor. Yes, I admit I was high.

Frank why are you linking people to mature furaffinity posts lol
i’m a furry. you should read them. there’s a lot of information there, and some of it is pretty outdated.I don’t understand how mature furry is a bad thing to link to on the internet, but I was wondering the same thing. I’m not sure what to make of this, or even whether it is an actual threat. (It’s not a fake site, so I wonder if it’s real?)
Frank is a furry
not a furry, just a guy with boner issues

More from my dad (as usual):
One of my favorite things to do with my friends in the SF Bay Area is to drive around the bay with big rigs full of water and empty soda bottles. I love driving around with water in the bed of my truck with a sign around the bed that says “BATH ME, YOU DICKHEAD” written in marker. I’m a dickhead with bath water and I’m proud of it.
