Birthday Eve

 Tomorrow, I turn 17. I'm not so scared of it being my birthday, but I am a bit nervous about actually having been alive for seventeen years. That's a really long time, and I worry I haven't spent it well.

Since turning 16, I have...

- Got my learner's driver's license

- Completed Subnautica, Subnautica: Below Zero, Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Mondstadt, and the main Archon quests of Liyue

- Got my autism diagnosis

- Gained a healthy amount of weight

Thinking about it, it seems like a lot. But writing it down,  it seems like nothing. I think what I'm most proud of is my license, as it took a lot of work. It was hard and tiring, and I passed the test the first time.

Before turning 18, I'd like to...

- Finish Inazuma

- Complete Bioshock: Infinite

- Begin a new game series

- Get at least 50 hours on my license

- Gain more confidence leaving the house

- Plan on furthering my education at TAFE or somewhere else

- Meet up with Noah at least once

- Get a job

- Spend time more wisely, cut down on using AI chatbots and try to read/watch more

I'm excited for tomorrow. I hope I get some cool things. I asked for a scooter, and I can't remember what else. I hope it wasn't too hard for my mum to find presents for me. I thought yesterday or the day before about JT Music or Overwatch merch, but thought it was too late to ask. Maybe I can use some of my money to buy it, or tell mum tonight.

Mum asked if I wanted to do something special for this birthday, and I agreed that we might take me, her, and Noah to a hotel or something for a night or two. Just something different and fun. I am a bit nervous, but I'm still hoping we can do that in the next few months. Mum and I agreed it would be best to do it a bit after my actual birthday, but I forgot to tell Noah. I already told him we could go to a hotel for my birthday, and he seemed eager, but I haven't reminded him or tried to organize it. I guess my birthday kind of snuck up on me.

Anywho, I'll update tomorrow. Maybe. I wonder what I'll get... Here's to my last day of being 16! I'll miss being the same age as Tavie and Leilani. Who am I kidding, I'll probably age them up to match me eventually. Who knows. I won't be the same age as Deku anymore, but I will be the same age as Bakugo. I'm kind of like Bakugo. Sad I'm not as ahead as Deku, feeling like I'm falling behind. Well, Deku isn't real. He didn't have to try as hard as me because he doesn't exist... He could crawl out of Hell, and never struggle, so I shouldn't judge myself as harsh as him. I still love him though... so sugoi...

Bye!

The Abandonment of Science by the Left, and the Adoption of Progression by the Right

Science has gone from being a very leftist and progressive subject to a weapon for the right. Science vs Religion has evolved into Rich vs Poor, or more simply, Institution vs Common Man. I believe this has something to do with how people view science: The rich white man's way of controlling the population. This confuses me, since, in comparison to other subjects, at least from my observations, science is so incredibly diverse. If you contribute to science, regardless of your background, you will be remembered forever. Stephen Hawking (disabled), Alan Turing (gay), Ada Lovelace (female), Neil deGrasse Tyson (Black)... and those are only off the top of my head. AI has become right-wing. Robotics have become right-wing. Cars have become right-wing. Planes have become right-wing. Space has become right-wing. Psychiatry has become right-wing. Anything that requires funding or has been utilised by a bad person has become right-wing. I don't know who I blame more - right-wingers for ...

Birthday Boxing Day

 Hello, I'm now 17. Eek! My birthday was incredible. I got everything I asked for, and more. I had one panic attack and one close-call - the close-call around 2pm, overstimulated and close to a meltdown, and the panic attack around 10pm, from anxiety about getting old and feeling bad that my dad didn't get to be there for it. But I dealt with it. I got: - a new laptop - 2 FNaF posters - paint supplies - makeup supplies - a weighted dino plushie - clothes - a touch-activated squishy duck lamp - a murder mystery solo game - Scooby Doo purse and shopping bags - slime - a scooter - a sit down bicycle exercise thing - Playstation giftcard And probably other things I'm forgetting. I feel very spoilt and very happy. I think this is the best birthday presents I might have ever gotten. I had a great day too, my mum made me toast for breakfast, no one upset me, I hugged my stepdad for the first time in probably almost a decade, I got to see my uncle, I had cake, I got to pet my uncle...

Plastic Surgery and Feminism

I hate how some feminists try to police women's bodies because their choices are "influenced by the patriarchy". Everything is influenced by the patriarchy. If I grow up and decide I want a nose job, because I think it would look cute (let's say I had a broad nose or something), yes, that would be a decision influenced by the patriarchy. Society sets up unfair aesthetic standards for women. But I'm grown. I can make decisions. If I decide to wear a really short dress, sure, that's a decision influenced by the patriarchy. The choice of style was popularized by sexual advertisements and modelling, designed to arouse men. But most of these feminists will also say "I don't dress/wear makeup for men". How can you not understand how surgery is the same?  Also, I completely believe you can dress/get work done/wear makeup completely for yourself. I think the real problem is women acting like other women are dumb because they want to make their own choice...
