at some point artoo WILL casually ask her 'does this unit have a soul', but only so he can laugh and put a picture of her horrified trying-not-to-shit-pants expression on space instagram or whatever
but this is because i firmly believe with all my heart that artoo detoo is a lil shit and the reason those beeps are never directly translated is that every movie's You Can Only Say Fuck One Time limit for pg-13 would be blown in about 15 seconds of said beeps being subtitled.
@beebs probably a droid with a restraining bolt still on
(don't think too hard about all those sentient minds being relegated to slave roles and chattel) (anyway if i think further on this i'm going full geth so Does This Unit Have A Soul indeed i suppose)

@starwall well, you could keep growing it and use it as a bowl to eat ramen out of.
p.s. don't actually do this
p.s. do not worry, my dog is not overweight
she's actually a little underweight
probably because she knows she can scam me out of cookies if she tries hard enough, the little shit.... (at least it's better than the time she learned what my 'concentrating because i gotta heal this boss fight' face was and took advantage of that to steal cookies)
@Scarly the shame is that i actually read it and there's a point i may be able to agree with the author about, it's just that the author was too busy throwing disabled people, and specifically autistic people, under the bus so hard that there was absolutely not any room in the limelight for, y'know, the other points.
in either case the author of that now owes me, A Known Disabled, damages of at least one (1) good bottle of vodka, Not The Cheap Shit, Grey Goose Or Better.
"praxis is mocking disabled people by painting them all as massive whiners, right? they're just interrupting our life and death struggles with their talking about being disabled. anyway, it's good politics to mock them, we're so much better than capitalism dehumanizing and mocking disabled lives because we can dehumanize and mock disabled lives too! ....but, like, it's probably organic and pesticide-free, so it's better. praxis!"
lort in goddamn heaven y'all.
yes, i'm still mad about this, https://outline.com/7fhRBg because there might be a good point buried somewhere in there.
in the thick, thick layer of "nobody could ever be disabled from being mildly autistic. praxis is knowing that better than they do. this is good politics, to reiterate just how much being mildly autistic is bullshit and not a thing, but instead a symptom of a massive personality flaw. only the sort of massive dickbag like this could ever consider their autism a disability."
stupid lewd punchline
I MEAN FOR GOD'S SAKE, I'M AN ENGLISH MAJOR.
UNLESS YOU TALK ABOUT AT LEAST ONE INSTANCE OF OBSCURE SYMBOLISM, I CAN'T CUM, MATPAT
