Grown Tumblr users– why do you live where you live?

I was born here and have no interest in leaving.

I was born here and left for a time, but I chose to come back.

I moved here for work.

I moved here to go to college/ university and stayed afterwards.

I always wanted to live here.

I moved here because I have extended family here.

I moved here for financial reasons (e.g. lower cost of living).

I moved here for my partner (job, family, etc.)

I move around a lot and don’t like staying in one place too long.

I moved here for other reasons (please put them in the tags!)

I really hate where I live and would like to live elsewhere.

I’m not living independently yet/ I just want to see the results.

Please tell me details in your reblog/ the tags– I’ve always been so curious.

Personally, I was born in a town where people generally live there their whole lives, but my family moved when I was young, and as an adult, I’ve lived a few different places. I would never move back to my birthplace, or my university town, but I would move back to my ‘hometown’ where I grew up. I ended up where I am now by chance for work, and I really love it. I think that I got very lucky. But it’s been five years, so I’m thinking of the future.

Please reblog! It helps more people see my poll!

Kaliro wants nothing more than to fit in with his human/humanoid peers, but even simple things like eating are a huge mental and physical barrier for him. He doesn’t have the anatomy or dexterity to pick up and eat off a fork, let alone use both hands to cut and eat food, and it only serves to remind him how much of a beast he really is.

He eats in private as he finds the whole “sticking your face down to your meal” quite embarrassing after spending so much time with people using cutlery.

He has social anxiety you haven’t even dreamed of.

Tevruden can empathize. He hates having to stick his face in his meal in dragon form. Almost as much as he hates being forced to walk on all fours around humanoids.

We’re on a new platform with a totally different audience…we have to prove ourselves all over again…convince a totally new group of people to think we’re funny and worth your attention….so allow me to drop some of my “A” material….the funniest thing I got…….here goes…….

The point of fiction is actually to put that guy in a situation™️, and he might try to tell you the point is to then get him out of the situation, WRONG, second situation

what’s more fucked up

finding out you’re secretly a robot

finding out you’re secretly a clone

you’re required to participate in this poll btw. i need data

now see if this was a ‘generally’ situation, I’d pick the clone, but in my specific case as someone with chronic fatigue and pain if I found out that I was a robot that means that someone would have gone out of their way to program me to experience both of those things so I’d 100% have to go for robot

See I started with the same logic but ended up at clone. Because why would you want there to be two of this mess :indicates the entire thing:

Where robot implies someone screwed up and now I have joint pain and a mood disorder, clone implies someone said “yes, there needs to be two of those.”

Or, worse: the cloning was imperfect and there is a version of me out there without the health problems. Absolutely horrifying to consider there’s someone out there just like me but successful.

I don’t understand why people are saying clone rather than robot. At least if you’re a clone you’re still a flesh and blood human and it is likely that all your memories of growing up, etc, are real. If you’re a robot who remembers their childhood…

I think it’s a question of what bothers you more. The fact you might not be human or the fa r you might not be unique.

And maybes it’s ego talking, but not being the unique me bothers me a lot more than finding out I have wiring and circuit boards.

see, i voted robot because, like the reblogger above, i would be so entirely outraged to find out somebody built me like this consciously, on purpose, literally made me to suffer.

if i was a clone, 1) genetic whoopsies and faulty cloning techniques would be an extremely believable explanation for *gestures at all of me* this, and 2) i would still be unique, i would still be Me.

even if i shared the same face and genetic makeup as another, or even multiple others, we might be similar, but we would not be the same. we are as much the sum of our experiences, thoughts, feelings, perspectives, and connections as we are the result of the expressions of our biological code, if not quite a bit more the former than the latter.

I’d punch whoever made a robot with a back that hurts.

See, as a programmer I get that, its either ‘back hurts’ or ‘spontaneously combusts’ and you can just put the former on the backlog for he next sprint (Narrator: they didn’t get to it in the next sprint.)

The reasoned trade offs you have to do with programming are wayyyy less fucked up than someone seeing an extant person and just saying ‘oh that fits the criteria, go with it.’

tevruden:

Not entirely sure where Tev went for his vacation yesterday, but I doubt he’s gonna recommend it now that he needs a flea collar
