@KawaSeadrake It's easier to make terrible coffee at scale than good coffee at scale, and Starbucks customers typically mostly want a milkshake, whatever caffeine they can get, or both

"Good morning, small dinosaur!"

"CAW. CAW. CAW. CAW. CAW."

To teach myself pico-8, because I have to start somewhere, I am porting Blockers & Finders, or at least a crude version of it.

Amaroq is not quite an ideal Mastodon client. It is kind of twitchy about boosting things; I keep accidentally boosting stuff I'm trying to scroll past because I grabbed the timeline in the wrong spot.

PSA on the Equifax breach:

You can enter most anything into their "check if I've been breached" thing and it will say you've been breached.

The whole site they set up is just a scam to force people into signing up for their "identity protection service." You get a year free but you better believe they'll start charging you for it after that, and the opt-out process is never easy.

Don't buy into it. Just keep an eye on your credit report and credit/bank account statements.

sexuality 

I was vaguely in a bunch of pornographic furry Telegram groups for a while that catered to my fetishes (rubber, goo, snakes...), then got self-conscious and left them, and I regret doing so now

@KawaSeadrake @mawr Having found the thread, I have decided I should just get over it. :| It shows me who I can reasonably expect to get in an argument with as a result, I guess, and... I care about that but it's not anybody who would want me to spend time hating myself for my own gender identity, either

Content warnings on Mastodon make me way more willing to talk about things I worry about making other people uncomfortable about. Viva la <lj-cut>!

substance use 

It's hard to hit a target of "enough THC to reduce depressive symptoms for 2 days", but "little enough to avoid increasing tolerance to THC and also anandamide, thereby worsening depression"

I undershot it badly last night and now I don't know whether to have worse depressive symptoms tomorrow and stay on schedule, or use more, now.

I got my tolerance back down in 1 month of "not quite enough" alternate day concentrate use, after 7 months to raise it, so maybe I should worry less.

@mawr @KawaSeadrake I remember it coming from someone else, but it's could have been following up on the SpottyJaguar version, which I remember seeing on FA now that it's mentioned. I hate making specific accusations about things that happened years ago, though, I don't trust my memory enough and I don't think there's much benefit in disparaging people for something they said years ago anyway. Then again, it hasn't stopped affecting me and I'm still avoiding them, so I dunno

@KawaSeadrake @mawr I don't, sorry. It's from at least five years ago (I remember where I was when I read it, and it was my precious employer) and there's no practical way to dig through Twitter that far back across a year-wide time range.

sexuality 

@KawaSeadrake @mawr I am distrustful of the acceptability of my hermaphroditic gender identity itself, a Twitter essay by a respected member of the community pointing it out as an innately derogatory term that fetishizes intersex bodies and innately problematic as an identity for that reason got a lot of support from people I respect and don't want to make uncomfortable. I've described myself as "genderqueer/genderfluid" since, but it's vague; I still think of myself as hermaphroditic.

slurs (lgbt-related), sexuality 

I'm not comfortable with my own sexual orientation. I put myself forward as pansexual, but that's more aspirational than accurate.

More than half the time, I am specifically interested in cock, and I am almost exclusively interested in gender nonconformant people. (Awkward phrasing courtesy of that one cis guy whose performance of gender is beautifully alien. Yes, you know who you are 💜)

I'm still worried that I'm some kind of "tranny chaser".

And then there was a shampoo spill in the garage. Cleaned up. My garage floor has never had such luxurious hair.

@green I last went to Orlando some 15 years ago, visiting Disney, and my favorite thing about the entire trip, and what I remember second-most vividly, was the tiny lizards. :D

I dreamed about DJ Tiësto sleeping on my couch for a night, in which we brainstormed the plot outline for an electronic opera about the ongoing rivalry between Weather-Man and The Weatherman.

Weather-Man is a superhero who controls the weather, locally and briefly. The Weatherman is a supervillain who is a maliciously inaccurate professional meteorologist.

I don't remember the details. This is probably for the better.

@Jacel I can now measure/estimate time until next arrival instead.

Welp, at least when I write timestamps in my notebooks now (as I do on every new subtopic), I am not immediately calculating time until @Jacel departs and flinching and getting sad about it 😐
