actually it's only a city if it has a robust public transit infrastructure that allows you to get to any point in the city without using a car. otherwise it's a sparkling suburb

Consider: Synths that do not physically require sleep as their bodies do not tire, but still willingly sleep to give themselves time to mentally rest.

Also consider: Synths that connect to their synth significant other(s) while sleeping so that they may experience dreams together.

@Soreth
roses red
violets blue
copulas superfluous
unlike you

re: horrifying doggerel, off the rails completely 

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Having produced the set-up couplet
I can do whatever I want afterward
Look here's a fifth line to the poem
In this essay I will (cont'd)

This is just to say

I have eaten
the roses
you kept in
the icebox

and which
you were definitely
mistaken
in putting there

They're roses
what's wrong with you
they don't belong in the icebox

what do you mean what's wrong with me

I ate the roses
I had to
that's how the rhyme begins
yes the thorns hurt a lot

we do foolish things for love

Family tree software and gender negation. 

One of my tabletop RP characters has a family tree that's actually relevant to the game. To get a decent graph of it, I'm trying some software called "Gramps" which allows for custom attributes and such, but it falls down in a couple places.

Time to report an issue....

There is a blazing, beautiful light inside you. Yes, you.

It is yours, it is you, and it shines like a star.

It needs you to protect it.

It needs your love.

It needs you to open up and let it shine so the whole world can see, so that others can love it, too.

I love it when I paste things into the wrong field. At least I haven't done it with a password in forever.

one time I couldn't recall 'lunchbox' and my brain's autofill instead returned 'sandwich coffin'

Good metaphor for content warnings? 

We're used to seeing food labels with major allergens, an ingredient list, and basic nutrition info. This is so you can decide at whatever level you need whether this is something to pick up off the shelf and eat. Pretty reasonable, right?

Content warnings are like this for your mental health, and precisely as valuable.

them: "This track has the same chord structure as that one song from OverClocked Remix that I like."

me: "Yes, love, because that's a remix of this track."

them: ". . ." (mind blown)

Minor WorldAnvil UX annoyances. 

What WorldAnvil says: "Use the Images & Files feature to upload images and files!"

What WA means: "Files? Only if they're JPEG, GIF, or PNG. Which are images anyhow, but we like to call them files also. Cover all the bases, why not?"

What WA says: "Upload files up to 1.0MB in size!"

What WA means: "Upload files up to 1,000,000 bytes in size! You know, not like a megabyte like everyone actually uses the term, but like hard drive manufacturers do. That's okay, right?"

The filesize limit would have been less of an issue if I could just upload this PDF. sigh
